Are you more of a rock star or a superstar?

Are you more of a rock star or a superstar?

January 17, 2019

Rock star. Superstar. They both sound pretty good, don’t they? Without thinking about it too much, is there one that appeals to you more? Are they even different?

Vision board do's and don't's

January 3, 2019

Every January, we get a fresh start, so to speak. A clean slate. A blank piece of paper. But what are you going to do with that blank piece of paper? If you’re already thought about your resolutions and goals, why not take it one step further and create a vision board?

The top 10 posts of 2018

December 27, 2018

And just like that, the end of the year is here. I’m sure some of you (like me) are ready to put 2018 in the books and start fresh, and others are looking back fondly on what was a whirlwind twelve months. But, as we edge closer to 2019, we wanted to look back at our top ten posts of 2018 (in no particular order).

Make your heart sing by finding your

Make your heart sing by finding your "micro-motives"

November 15, 2018

I think it’s safe to say that we all want to enjoy our lives. We want to feel passionate, inspired, and we want our hearts to sing. Well, guess what? You can find out just what makes your heart sing by judging others.

What happens after you play the blame game?

What happens after you play the blame game?

November 8, 2018

We’ve all done it. A moment goes wrong and we start to point a finger or two at something (or someone) and lay the damage at their door. Or, we blame ourselves, jumping to the worst conclusions about our abilities.

Make peace with the fact that not everyone will like you

Worrying about whether or not other people like you can be an anxiety-ridden waste of time. You’re never going to be everyone’s favorite person, so why do so many of us keep trying to change what makes us, us?

The secret to lagom: the Swedish art of living a balanced, healthy life

The secret to lagom: the Swedish art of living a balanced, healthy life

October 25, 2018

For a long time, I was mildly curious in hygge, the Danish concept of recognizing a moment as special or charming. I kept meaning to look it up and find out more, but never did. Instead, while browsing the shelves at a local Target, I saw a book called Lagom.

Fake motivation still pays the bills

Fake motivation still pays the bills

October 18, 2018

It was during a particularly bad slump of feeling unproductive and dissatisfied with how I was spending my time, that I discovered I had been asking the wrong questions and misdiagnosing my problem. Instead of asking why I wasn’t motivated, I should have been asking in what ways can I find motivation?

Telling strangers you’re an accountant, and other ways to find humility

Telling strangers you’re an accountant, and other ways to find humility

October 11, 2018

I believe that the universe always gives what I need if I just know where to look. And being stereotyped as “not cool” is just one way we accountants have been gifted the tools for a successful and happy life! That gift is humility.

It’s gut check time

It’s gut check time

October 4, 2018

All of us have the capacity to feel what our gut is telling us — which means it must be connected to our brain in some way. I’m sure there’s scientific research on this, but I think that when I trust my gut, I’m trusting my brain.
