Focus on the positives and WRITE THEM DOWN!

In the fast-paced world of your work week, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind, focusing on deadlines, projects, and the never-ending to-do list. Yet, there’s a simple and often overlooked tool that can help you stay grounded, motivated, and continually growing in your career: journaling. Specifically, keeping a record of the positive feedback you receive - and your “wins” - can be a game-changer, offering a host of benefits that extend far beyond the moment of recognition. Your “positives” journal can also serve as a valuable resource when building your personal brand. It provides concrete examples of your strengths and achievements, which can be woven into your resume, LinkedIn profile, or discussions with mentors and peers. This practice not only helps you articulate your value more clearly but also builds your reputation as a reflective and growth-oriented professional.

what do to when it is "dark" inside - to outside?

It IS dark – How do you deal with darkness?

Darkness outside can be a metaphor for what is going on – inside and outside of us.

For me, the darkness is outside.

I have a friend, E who was home in the Ukraine when the war began over a month ago. He struggled to get his family out and to Switzerland where he lives and works. I saw him for the first time since yesterday – and his inside is traumatized. Naturally so. It is dark outside me, and dark inside him.

There are more stories, and I don’t want to go far here, but I have other U. friends who are here and in other places…

Even if it is dark from the time to time, there are things we can do to help make the dark better:
