Turn Off Your Damn Phone! (BI #101)

We all know the mantra by now: go to the gym three or four days a week, do cardio, lift some weights. It's good for your posture, your overall well-being, and fitness, but how often do we do the same for our mental space? On a recent trip to Switzerland on "vacation", (which is something we should do more often in our own cities. You don't have to go on a plane to find a different space, a different way of being. You can simply get lost in a park or library or a restaurant or coffee store you've never been to), I gave myself a few hours overlooking the mountains with no technology, just to think with a pen and paper, and the results were quite astounding. Not only does this feel like the first time in a long time that I've done this, but also how refreshing it is to just pull away from all the notifications, the noise and distractions. Try it, I dare you. Turn the phone off. Turn the TV off. Go for a walk in the park and just think.

#82 - Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

Time and time again, this maxim is proven out in my life.Those chance meetings you take, the time you had that coffee, that leads to something extraordinary happening that you could never have accounted for.That's why, as part of your week, you should push yourself to meet new people and say yes to opportunities that, on face value, perhaps aren't something you would normally agree to be involved with; you never know where it may lead.
