What does good sleep do for you?

5 Ways Sleep Can Help you Think Better Did you that sleep can help you think better? We all know that mentally foggy feeling we've woken up with, but how does sleep really impact our mind?

In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, social skills have become more important than ever.

Whether in your personal or professional life, your ability to connect with others can have a significant impact on your success and well-being.

That's why I recommend checking out Social Intelligence by Daniel Goleman (Check the link in my bio for more info on this and other books).

This book is a great guide for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of human behavior and improve their social skills.

With a sweet blend of relevant research and engaging storytelling, Goleman gives us insights into the science of human connection and provides practical strategies for enhancing our social intelligence.

Here are 7 strategies that I've used to help me connect more effectively.

1. Listen actively:
One of the best ways to connect with people is to listen to what they have to say. This means hearing them out, asking follow-up questions, and really understanding their perspective.

2. Be you:
Don't try to be someone you're not. Easier said than done, I know. Show your true self, share your experiences, and be vulnerable. People are more likely to connect with you when they see the real you.

3. Find common ground:
Look for shared interests or experiences and use that as a starting point for conversation. It can help break down any barriers and create a genuine connection.

4. Express empathy:
Try to put yourself in the other person's shoes. Understand their emotions and feelings and let them know that you care.

5. Share encouraging feedback:
Everyone likes to feel appreciated and valued. Take the time to offer genuine acknowledgement and encouragement to others.

6. Be present:
Give your full attention to the person you're talking to. Avoid distractions and make eye contact. Let them know that they have your full focus.

7. Follow up:
After you've had an initial conversation, follow up with the person to build on the connection. You could send them an email or message, offer to meet up again, or simply check in on how they're doing.

How strong are you?

You don’t usually think about strong and quiet going together, but they make an incredible combo. I’ve seen strong people like this before. Have you?

I wanna be that kind of strong.

I’m so grateful for Dr. Beck, the founder of cognitive behavior theory. He changed the therapy, counseling, and coaching game. Countless people (including me) have been helped because he was willing to ask his patient about her thoughts years ago. I’m sure many of you have been impacted by his work without even knowing it.

Go define and solve some problems.

Every time you think or do something healthy and helpful, celebrate.

If you wait to celebrate until you reach perfection, you’ll never get there. You’re never get to celebrate.

Give yourself some credit for every step.

Every healthy thought.

Every helpful decision.

Every walk.

Every “no” to something negative.

Every pound lost.

Every healthy conversation.

You can get better every day.

It’s about progress.

Give yourself something to celebrate today.

I found this book back 2013. It was one of the first books I read after grad school.

So grateful for the work of . He is one of the greatest mentors I haven’t met…yet.

Check out the book.

It’s not a product you can buy.

Transformation is built one thought at a time.

The process starts in the mind and can impact every other area of your life.

I’ve seen too many people give up on their transformation because it was taking too long. And, I’ve also seen so many people work the process and experience more progress than they could have ever dreamed of.

Trust the process.

Transformation is possible.

Your thinking leads the way. If you think better, you’ll eventually start to feel, do, and connect better.

Do you believe it?
