Say goodbye to pre-strike you
Now is the perfect time to take a moment to check in with yourself and take stock of who you were BEFORE the strike and who you are NOW.
Arguing with what is
Acknowledging the things we can't control can be emotional.
But feeling those feelings is sometimes the only way to start tackling the things we CAN control.
So, you finally got your goal…now what?
Every time we set a goal, it's simply one step along an entire life path. When we reach one goal, it’s en route to another. So celebrate those victories and keep moving forward!
Writer's strike looming: working from a place of strength
By focusing on what’s in your control, rather than on what might happen, you’ll be able to operate from a place of strength rather than one of fear.
