I was recently recommended a new podcast from a fellow veteran and business owner, From The Green Notebook, and the first episode I listened to did not disappoint. The podcast website states, “Our host Joe Byerly will extract valuable lessons from some amazing people from all walks of life. We will discuss the importance of habits, mentorship, life-long learning, mindfulness, and the effects of ego on a team.” The episode that I listened to featured Marine Colonel and Author, Tom Gordon, and covers leadership concepts that can be applied to everyday life. I think there are some great takeaways from the episode so I wanted to share a few with you. The full episode will be linked below and I highly recommend you take the time to listen. Takeaway #1 - Who are you? vs Who am I? This is a great exercise that Colonel Gordon used with his military students to allow them the time and space for introspection with regards to who they are to the outside world versus who they really are to themselves. In the world of social media, I think this can be a powerful exercise for leaders, educators, and for students to examine who we are and who we want to be. Listen to the full episode or my podcast break down on the episode to see how Tom facilitated this exercise…it is difficult to write out the practice. Takeaway #2 - “Do not let the urgent get in the way of the important.” I really liked this quote from Colonel Gordon when he was discussing how to bring intentionality and structure to your day. Often as educators and leaders, it is easy to feel like everything is a priority and feel that we never have enough time to get it all done. This quote and follow-on discussion are powerful in our fight against allowing urgent, and more importantly, urgent and unimportant, tasks to get in the way of completing the important. If you want to learn more about how to classify your task I recommend learning more about the Eisenhower Matrix to help. Takeaway #3 - Five tasks to be completed daily When I heard these 5 tasks and how Colonel Gordon used them to hold himself and his subordinates accountable, I knew I had to share them with you. I think these can easily be adjusted to meet our educational needs and to be used with students of all ages. The 5 daily tasks are: Find a problem and fix it. Find subordinates/students doing a good job and thank them. Teach somebody something. Learn something. Ask someone how you can help them. These five tasks look simple when written, but I challenge you to accomplish them each day for the rest of the week. Once you have them mastered I encourage you to share with others and adapt them to your students and see how they do. Let me know how it goes. I hope these takeaways were meaningful to you as they were to me. I challenge you to take at least one of them and put it into practice. It is easy to read an article but hard to take action. Let's do the hard things! Listen to the full podcast here on Apple Podcast

Seneca reminds us that fools all have one thing in common: They are always getting ready to start. They are always getting ready to change. A Question from Epictetus: “How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?” Inspired by The Daily Stoic and Ryan Holiday.
The New Year seems to have this invisible notion surrounding it as THE day to make any changes in our lives; almost as if it's the only day. This time of New Year's Resolution typically comes with an onslaught of shiny “new” diets and “new” fitness fads. Think back to a time that you made a New Year's Resolution surrounding health and fitness. Was it successful? Are you still reaping the benefits of that one resolution? If it was successful and you are still seeing benefits, great! Unfortunately, these results are not the norm and many of us tend to give up on the resolutions and find ourselves defeated. So, let's change the thinking around New Year's Resolutions surrounding health and fitness and make more sustainable changes that don't negatively affect our psyche along with our physical health. Sarah Gleason, Eating Disorder Registered Dietician, talked with Advocate this week about how we can reframe this perspective. Because nutrition and our bodies are not a black and white subject, we need to give ourselves a little more grace when it comes to the rigidity of what we want.

Are you taking action or sitting idle?
There is sufficient research that points to negative mood and poor food choice selection. Yep, that's right, it's the negative emotions that can really set off the cascade of cravings for sugary and fatty foods. Maybe it's comfort foods from your childhood, or that pint of your favorite ice cream, or (my personal favorite) a bag of salty tortilla chips. Whatever the choice, our emotions and our food choices can be intimately linked. Never fear, though, that's where a plan comes into play.
