Happy New Year Friends!  And what better way to start the year than by learning more about ourselves.  This week's challenge is to take an Enneagram Test to assess your basic personality type for basic self observation.  Knowing more about yourself certainly gives you power not only in your every day challenges but also in dealing with others so be sure to encourage a friend, spouse, partner or co-worker to join along with you this week. Here's the link to https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/how-the-enneagram-system-works.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jamie-young3/message

Hi Friends! We've missed you and are so glad to be back with a message about self validation. On this journey we want to be able to celebrate, encourage, validate and put ourselves on the back. We also start with a great tribute to the late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. What a powerhouse. We are better for having had her in our space. Thank you RGB!

One of the very best things anyone can do for their future is let go of their past. Join us as we share our experiences and how letting go of the past has been extremely liberating! Failure to do so can keep you stuck behind memories that no longer deserve your attention.

If you've never taken one of our challenges, I hope you do this one. Playing hard is as important as working hard. Do both and you strike a balance that is golden!

We had some really great success this week with the challenge, but more importantly, we discussed some hard things.  Change is never easy, and we have a candid conversation about low points and how we plan to resolve them.  We know this is relatable and real content and that someone listening my realize that they are not alone.  Hang in there you guys.  Change and growth is sometimes difficult but it's always worth it.  We love you!

Time to cut the clutter you guys!  There're so many things that are roadblocks when you are working hard to get your goals off the ground and clutter is one of them.  It's almost impossible to keep your projects straight when you have piles of paper to organize or a bunch of emails in your box.  How many times have you forgotten about something important because it wasn't on your calendar?  Well this week, we're putting on our clutter-busting gloves and going for a knock out!  Put on a Rocky theme song and let's get in the ring to take down your disorganized work space.   --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jamie-young3/message

We all had a great week and hope you did, too.  Here's what we learned.  You simply can't make big changes in your life without assessing where you're wasting your time.  Social media, Netflix and chill way too much, or whatever your time wasters are have to be identified.  Once you do that you will be so surprised at the time you recover to put towards those important goals.  I hope you found more time in your day to get those things that have been on the back burner done.  If you didn't what are you waiting for? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jamie-young3/message

Say the title fast as many times as it takes to start taking those chances you've been avoiding. The time isn't later, or one day. The time is now ya'll. This week we all had some great fear busting moments. Someone even bought a MOTEL! Yeah, we are serious fear.

Feeding your fears is as bad as feeding bears. Okay well, they both come with challenges, but fear can hold you back from so many amazing experiences. What is holding you back? Fear of failure, of disappointment, of what others might say? We've all been there. This week our challenge is to tackle something that makes you scared. Just one thing.

Follow up with Dawn, Cindy and Jamie to see how the week of self care went. There were break throughs, professional wins and challengus interruptus (I think that's Latin for room for improvement). The important thing is that self care is not part of our daily routines and we're all for it! How about you? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jamie-young3/message

If you want to have great self care clap your hands, (clap clap!). Yes you should have sang that to the tune Happy and You Know It and yes, you should have both hands up! This will be a week dedicated to mind, body and soul! I found a wonderful video on YouTube that I'd like you to view (it's only 5 mins, no excuses). It will put you on a journey to understand why great self care is a must in order to pursue any other goal. Here it is and here we go!

Were we all successful in our connections?  I'm going to say yes, because we all did something that took us out of our comfort zones.  Well, sure Dawn was picking fights in a bagel shop (not really, she was hugging people - how much more of a connection can you get?) but it was still a lesson learned for all.   Make these challenges your own and before long you'll see that you're stronger than you think you are. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jamie-young3/message
