Finding courage and following your heart

Finding courage and following your heart

May 28, 2020

Ask yourself this: “If I had more courage, what would I stop doing right now? What would I start doing?” Courage is one of the cornerstone habits of great leaders.

Your health is your greatest retirement asset, so invest now!

Your health is your greatest retirement asset, so invest now!

May 21, 2020

Think of it this way: We know that someone who begins saving at age 20 will have more money in retirement than someone who begins saving the same amount at age 30. So, it makes sense that someone who began prioritizing their health at age 20 will be healthier later in life than someone who began at age 30.

Locked and loaded: joy triggers

Locked and loaded: joy triggers

May 18, 2020

So, what makes you happy? What are the simple, perhaps irrational, things that bring you joy? I found out the other day that these things are called “joy triggers.” And I loved that.

How to write a gratitude letter that'll blow someone away

May 7, 2020

Writing a gratitude letter may seem like an overblown thank you note, but that’s simply not true. Imagine how you would feel if you received an honest, truthful letter that thanked you for how you impacted someone’s life?

Exercise your mind with daily affirmations

It’s so easy for us to get sucked into a barrage of negative thoughts. One small, intrusive thought leads to another and another. Daily affirmations can change your mindset and help you create the future you want!

Rebuilding after the 2008

Rebuilding after the 2008 "Great Recession"

April 23, 2020

For Cassandra Essick, Employee Engagement Associate at Siegfried, the chaotic events of the past few weeks have reminded her of her struggle through 2008 and her journey back to enjoyable normalcy. The similarities between these two seismic events are striking, but Cassandra promises it will get better: “Even though it’s bad right now, and it might get worse before it gets better, my experiences in 2008 and others’ experiences throughout history show it will get better.”

Crafting peace of mind

Crafting peace of mind

April 16, 2020

Creativity has never been in short supply in my family, with many making a living in art and design one way or another. For decades, my grandmother has knitted and sewn her way through holiday gifts, with my mom recently following in her footsteps. Receiving and enjoying these gifts – from scarves to socks to bathroom bags to full-size quilts – has always filled me with an appreciation for the craft and what it takes to make something by hand, start to finish.

So, when I heard one of my coworkers was a certified knitting instructor, I was more than a little intrigued.

Staying positive: An optimist's guide to social distancing

April 14, 2020

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of change and anxiety! COVID-19 has undoubtedly shaken all of us and impacted our lives significantly for the foreseeable future. It isn’t surprising that some people are jumping into action and making the most of it, some are in a holding pattern unsure of what to do with themselves, and unfortunately, some are slowly spiraling down a negative path.

How to overcome the "forgetting curve" and improve your memory

April 9, 2020

Even now, 20 years later, I remember that Nickelodeon was on Channel 39. I convinced myself that detail was important, and I managed to retain it. However, other information I’ve learned has slipped away as if it was never there in the first place. Much of my memory, like yours, falls victim to the forgetting curve.

What's in your quarantine Amazon cart?

April 7, 2020

Amazon is always a good idea. It’s an especially good idea when we’re really not interested in leaving the house during social distancing. Yes, we’re allowed to go to Target, but do we really want to? For once in our lives, no, we don’t want to go to Target. (I know, it’s tough for me, too.)
