In the health and wellness aspect of my life and career I deep dive into one of my Big Topics of Interest- helping people dump their junk and declutter. Many of you may know clutter became a ball and chain around my ankle and a pain in my brain when I was living in New York and, again, when I moved to care for my ailing mother. Living with less has made me gain more clarity and happiness. Many people do not realize how much the "Stuff" can stuff up your mind. Here is my recent episode discussing this topic on Fearless Fabulous You! My guest, Jenny Albertini MPHm left a high level job working at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) to became a master organizer.

?? Winter is a time of year when many of us pause to take stock of where we are and where we’d like to be. This where is not necessarily about geographic location. Rather, where can be a metaphor, inviting us to pause and ask ourselves, “Where am I in my life and what might be next for me?” ?? In this coming year, I plan to take a pause to consider more fully where I am. If you want to explore your where, here are a few ideas for self-inquiry: https://buff.ly/4gvKFSj #IBZCoaching #selfinquiry #selfreflection #yearendinquiries #journaling #personalgrowth #yearendreview

Mother Nature and Hope (and work): Mother Nature put on a spectacular show yesterday afternoon. An early harbinger of Christmas appeared at the end of the lane in Oxford! There are greater things going on above all of us that should provide great hope despite the many problems we see in the world. You can get a hint of hope by just getting out in your communities and seeing all of the good in the world that is there but does not get enough attention. The same old “loudest” voices do not always represent truth or reality. Small ripples go a long way! Oh, and one more thing, “breaking news” is NOT the regurgitatied headlines you see, promoted as such, on the cable talk shows. When you go to work each day, it is an opportunity to create value with your clients or colleagues. Rather than a grind, look at your career as a journey with many chapters, lessons in the ups and downs, challenges to navigate and people to learn from. There is not, but should be a breaking news headline at the front of each workplace that’s says: “Check your ego at the door!” “Be the Change you want in the World.”

Never ask “Are you finished?” The art of good conversation is mostly gone in the digital age. Many people have become mute as they scroll their devices and avoid verbal engagement when possible. At the other end of the spectrum is the friend who keeps you captive with a running commentary; a story without end that is rich in details no one wants to hear. Here are four ways we can distinguish ourselves as valued party guests and frequent invitees to social gatherings. 1. Listen more than you talk. 2. Don’t talk about your health or your spouse’s experience in the hospital. 3. Adjust your conversation with your listener. 4. If you’re telling a story, give it a broad stroke. https://lnkd.in/g7_vDji6 #TheArtofConversation #HowtoListen #GoodStoryteller #SocialConnections

"I have 1,000 friends on Facebook, but no one that will feed my cat." This poignant quote from Esther Perel's conversation with Brené Brown highlights the new world of artificial intimacy and paradoxical loneliness we find ourselves in. In the just-released 2024 World Happiness Report, the U.S. dropped out of the top 20 for the first time, now ranking 23rd – driven partly by a decline in life satisfaction among Americans under 30. On this #WellbeingWednesday, how can we be more connected than ever, yet so unhappy? During my recent job transition, what I missed most were the casual human connections – chatting at the coffee machine, one-on-one meetings, hallway run-ins with familiar faces, meeting new hires, writing personal notes. These lovely moments disappeared, leaving a void. As Esther Perel says, "People have suffered from the day human beings have existed...But they always knew that the suffering needs to take place in the company of others. And these days we do too much suffering alone. That's the modern loneliness too." Are we creating public spaces for connection, or merely building follower counts on our phones? I make an effort to smile at strangers and strike up conversations while waiting in line – something we did naturally before device distractions. Yet in-person relationships require work – investing time, listening, sharing, asking questions, and being vulnerable. Friendship is friction. I have an intense personality, often saying the wrong thing. I'm nerdy, weird, awkward – but I love fiercely and tenaciously. To be friends with me requires forgiving my ridiculousness, but I guarantee I'm worth it. Esther challenges us: "Is there a mental health crisis or is there a normal response to a crisis situation? It's not about being physically alone, it's about being misunderstood, unseen, rejected, ostracized." Take a moment today for deep listening. Choose one person, make an intentional connection, use your empathy, and have a longer conversation. Resist the urge to listen only to respond with your own story – ask follow-up questions. Why? Because as Esther says, "The listening is not just what happens to the person who listens. The listening is what shapes what the person will tell." I’m back at work, a new industry, new people and lots of new acronyms. So much friction. And I love it. Leave your phone, get up, and make a human connection. Our wellbeing depends on it. https://lnkd.in/eFdv6xY9 #hr #hrcommunity #JobSearch #ContinuousLearning #wellbeing #wellness #health #mentalhealth #selfcare #mindfulness #selflove #mentalhealthawareness #happiness #positivity #loneliness #love #lonely #life #feelings #woundednotbroken
