“Send Coach John a message”

Found another simple, yet emotional and meaningful reminder for me from the Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) where this truth was posted: “Every day is another chance to change your life.” Within every day there are many moments too. I’ve been doing more and more reflecting in the mornings with my coffee. First, I’m reminding myself each morning how much I love mornings. Getting my day started with some prayer time, reading some devotions, other daily readings to not only get me started but also to keep me grounded too. Secondly, it gets my day going in a great direction for the things I want to do and need to do. With me trying to focus a bit more on intentionally focusing on making the most of more moments, it’s been eye-opening for me to keep working this way. Also remind ourselves that these “changes” don’t have to be huge. They don’t have to be posted about on social media. We don’t have to share them with others. We just have to put action behind them. Please - remember this thought and remember it’s the moments to connect with that matter which make up our days. Thanks for listening.

I found so many powerful posts today and I wanted to share this one with you first. Coming at you a little bit late in the day today, but sometimes “life” gets in the way a bit. So, I’m in the library studio today and getting some stuff done. This comes from Curious Minds (@CuriousMindsHub) where this one hit me right between the eyes and I hope you connect with it too! “It’s time to get more aggressive about the life you want.” It is time. Not just because it’s late January of a new year, but it’s because it’s TODAY! Today is the only time I can do something about this because that is the moment I’m in. Truthfully, it would have been really easy to stay at home. The weather is cold and nasty, but I knew I wanted to get back to my “roots” of going someplace outside of the house, getting a coffee and having a quiet space to work in. My local library offers this with their study rooms to sign up for. So many podcasts, school work, video recordings, etc., have been done here. I knew I wanted to take some time to really intentionally focus on getting some things done, investigated, read, watched, etc. So I hope this reminds you to do the same - as soon as you can!!

Found another fabulous learning moment from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) and it’s all about Learning! They shared this and it’s 7 words long: “Be open to learn, unlearn and relearn.” Learning is something I know I want to do every single thing I can to keep learning things, picking up things and growing with those things I find. There is plenty I know I need to unlearn for sure. What I need to do is to make sure the things I relearn are good things. I know for sure that ALL OF US need to unlearn a lot of things (especially what is going on in our country, today of this recording 1-24-26) AND THEN, we need to relearn so many things that will be good for ALL OF US. The thing is, throughout ALL of history, humans have had trouble with things like how we treat each other. I think NOW is the time for us to learn and put into play these lessons. Come on people, we are smart enough to do that!! Thanks for listening.

Love finding things that help keep my soul on fire… these posts that I find are really things that fire me up! From Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) Its a reminder for all of us to “Trust the process. Always remember that… You can have the worst days of your life and a few weeks later you can have the best day of your life. Keep pushing through.” This is something that hits me hard when I reflect on it - and truthfully I do have a bit more time to reflect now a days. It get me thinking about how proud of my little 8 year old self would be of my 59 year old self. That 8 year old is part of me and has been since I was that age. I do have plenty to be proud of that I have pushed through and not given up. It helps me to also connect with Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) that shared this: “Hardest thing right now is, finding people with pure intentions” Part of our process needs to keep focusing in doing the right thing. Not only for our lives and the people we love, but our communities / country / the world! My little 8 year old self has been in the front row seeing all the good and bad I’ve done. I need to do more of what is right in living my life. Great stuff for all of us to connect with. Thanks for listening.

I used to run “2 for 1 Specials” with my students when I would find a great article for them to read and reflect on with their summary + opinions and thoughts. The special was that I counted it also for one of their weekly articles that they had to turn in as well. I’m just reconnecting to a past part of my life that I loved very much… teaching… but we go on with this episode description. I found two uplifting posts and both of them were re-tweeted (reposted) from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) who is someone that I connect with a lot on social media. First he shared this clip from Mel Robbins (@MelRobbins) where she was interviewing Trent Shelton (@TrentShelton) - the reminder that Mark connected with this clip, is something similar to what I would say too: “To anyone who needs to hear this - If you feel like you’ve lost your way, please know that better days are coming, my friend. Don’t give up.” Such a simple and heart-felt message for anyone and everyone that needs the reminder to just keep going!! The second connection also from Mark was a clip from Inky Johnson (@InkyJohnson) and Mark’s summary: “It’s not what you do … it’s who you are! It’s how you operate… how you treat people! It’s not what gets you there … it’s what keeps you there! Do what’s right … not what’s easy! It’s how you life your life!” I found it very interesting that these two came just about back to back in my feed this morning. Both messages are tied into lifting me up and encouraging me - which I’m finding I need every day! I hope these help you too!! Thanks for listening.

I have always loved mornings. Looking back as a little kid, I knew I was a morning person early on in my life. This post from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) helped me to remember one of many reasons why I connect with mornings. “Every morning, we get a chance to be different. A chance to change. A chance to be better. Your past is your past. Leave it there. Get on with the future part.” - Nicole Williams said this. It’s a reminder for all of us that we can start out our day differently than what we’ve done in the past. It’s a new opportunity to continue great things or to start over with something new and great! I like this reminder from the standpoint of always looking to be better and do better. I need this reminder for the simple fact that I can start my days out in a positive and awesome direction. I know you can too. Thanks for listening.

Found a great reminder for me personally that I need to read more and the importance of taking the time to do it! From TeacherGoals (@teachergoals) “Reading counts. - Reading forces you to be quiet in a world that no longer makes a place for that.” That is a quote from John Green. It seems that the world is getting noisier and more hectic as each day passes. As I typed that thought out, I also know that probably many of the previous generations probably thought the same thing. I take time to start my day by reading a little bit. However, that is not where it should end for me. I need to take more time throughout my days to slow down and read more. I have plenty of things to read that are good for me. That inspires me. That makes me want to be better and do better in my life. When I do, I find that I can handle the “loudness” of the world a bit better. Maybe this is something for you to get re-connected with too? I know a good friend of mine really takes the time to pause life here and there to get some reading done. It brings joy to her soul and it helps her be her best for the life that she wants to live. She wrote a very nice note to my wife recently and my wife shared it with me. This helps me to want to do the same! Thanks Heather for sharing that with my wife, who shared it with me.

A good morning of reflections and connecting. I found this one of many that I needed to let percolate a bit in my mind and heart. It comes from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) and it reminds us that “Your greatest weapon is your mind. Train it to see opportunities, not obstacles.” So many things going on around us and throughout the world. I’m working hard to not get distracted by trying to keep up with all of it. I’m trying to focus in on being in the moment a bit more and seeing opportunities and not victim thinking of doubt, worry and not believing in myself. If I can use this and connect with this thought, more moments that I have throughout each day - wow… there’s going to be some good things coming from those choices. Hope this works for you too my friends. Thanks for listening.
