Handling Conflict Better

March 28, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

In conflict, begin each sentence with “I feel…” rather than “You did…”

Don’t interrupt during the reply.

Everything seems crazy these days.

That’s causing us to feel overwhelmed, overloaded, and stressed out; the perfect combination to get us into disagreements with the people we care about and those with whom we work.

Take Time to be in Awe

March 21, 2011 by Scott "Q" Marcus Leave a Comment

Look at the world with awe as often as possible.

Sometimes it’s difficult – especially during stressful times – to stay inspired and to take joy in the day-to-day happenings of life. Between a job, family, responsibilities, and the general state of the world, life can feel overwhelming. At times like these, it is especially important to stop for a minute, take a deep breath, and look for the beauty that surrounds you. It might not feel much, but it’s there – and you are a part of it. Then, before you do anything else, spread that feeling by complimenting the next person you see.

Note: Every Monday, a new motivational memo is posted. Subscribers to ThisTimeIMeanIt.com’s coaching service get this – and many more benefits – sent to them directly. If you’d like to know more, follow this link.
