Collision Hub: Let It Shine →
Great article from Collision Hub about how to stand out from the crowd and “Let it Shine” through your social engagement strategies!
collisionhub:
One of my mantras in business is to Let it Shine. Simply put, to shine is to be yourself. It’s to celebrate those unique and localized traits that make you stand out from the competition. What preexisting aspects of your business make...

Day 4: Let Go and Enjoy the Ride!
So yesterday was a blast! I spent work being productive then went to an archery store to shoot which was such a thrill and went to the gun range for a bit to blow off some steam. I know this sounds like a bit of a violent day but it was actually really peaceful and helped me to unwind. I started going to the gun range with my little brother last year as a compromise since he loved it so much and I...

Day 3: Decompress and Taste Life...an Apple a Day
I only set two goals for today and those were…..
1) Play in the rain and 2) Practice mindful eating
The rain ended up passing us by so I did yard work instead because it was outside, physical and engaging. As for the mindful eating…I ended up sharing dinner with my brother instead of practicing so right this minute I am going into the kitchen to get a fresh apple because they are...

Day 2: Step to the Right of My Left Brain
So day two of my Mindfulness fast was a bit rocky…Yet again I opted for sleep over morning meditation and mindfulness yoga so I think I need to re-envision how I motivate myself during this particularly difficult time of day for me. As for my daily theme….I have always leaned more toward my right brain anyway but I actually dove headfirst (silly) into my left brain yesterday in an...

Day 1: Be A Catalyst for a Lollipop Moment
So I started today SUPER early as in 12:07ish AM this morning by watching a TEDtalk by Drew Dudley on “Everyday Leadership”. He tells a story about a seemingly insignificant moment in his life that utterly transformed the life of a stranger and uses this as a lens through which to describe our unimaginable ability to make a daily impact through everyday leadership. Now I have never...

Thoughts on Mindfulness
One of my favorite lessons from my time at the Nyingma Institute was the idea of practicing Emotional Awareness. It sounds relatively simply and interestingly enough it actually is! Below is the 3-part process to practicing emotional awareness. I use these steps unconsciously now to keep myself centered and responsive not reactive.
Practice Emotional Awareness
Connect. Take a deep breath...

dancing filaments of light
Science fiction writer William Gibson considers how our new communication networks look more and more like the superfine, delicate wirings of a mind…
“…the texture of these more recent technologies, the grain of them, becomes progressively finer, progressively more divorced from Newtonian mechanics. In terms of scale, they are more akin to the workings of the brain...

Is Branded Journalism Still Journalism? →
Interesting article about the roll of branded journalism.
—The goal with branded content, explains social media expert Shel Holtz, isn’t necessarily to solicit profits, but to make companies visible, because these days, if your business doesn’t have content on the world wide web, you’re essentially invisible—even if you have a company website. Holtz says that branded content “isn’t trying...
