Remember the Good

Passion has a way of lighting up our lives, filling even the smallest moments with excitement and meaning. Think back to a time when you were completely absorbed in something you loved—whether it was a creative project, a new adventure, or simply sharing joy with others. That feeling of being truly alive is something worth remembering and cultivating. Passion reminds us of what matters most, keeping our hearts engaged in the beauty of life.

Tip for remembering the good: Revisit a moment when you felt pure enthusiasm and joy. Reflect on what sparked that passion and how you can invite more of it into your life today.

Feel Your Best

Passion is more than just excitement—it’s fuel for our well-being. When we bring passion into our daily lives, we naturally feel more energized, connected, and inspired. Even when faced with challenges, reconnecting with what excites us can shift our mindset and renew our motivation. Whether it’s through work, hobbies, or time spent with loved ones, finding what ignites your spirit can be one of the greatest ways to nourish yourself.

Tip to feel your best: Identify one thing that truly excites you and make space for it this week. Even small moments of passion can uplift your energy and brighten your outlook.

Reset As Needed

There will be moments when passion fades, when doubt creeps in, or when the weight of responsibilities dulls our enthusiasm. But passion isn’t something we lose—it’s something we reignite. When we feel disconnected, we can return to the ‘why’ behind what we do, remembering that even the smallest step forward can help us reclaim our joy and purpose. Every reset is an opportunity to rediscover what lights us up inside.

Tip for a reset: When you feel stuck or uninspired, pause and ask yourself: What first made me excited about this? Reconnecting with your original inspiration can help you move forward with renewed energy.

This Week’s Quote:

Planning for Next Week📝:

Use the framework below to plan your upcoming week: March 31st - April 6th.

Some people like to map out their forthcoming week on Friday to ease into the weekend, knowing they are ready to hit the road running on Monday. Others (like myself) have a Sunday planning ritual. Do what works best for you. Over the years, in supporting many people in their planning and goal-setting, it seems to work best to pick a day of the week that’s easy to stick to so that your weekly planning becomes a habit and ritual.
