Hey Reader,
​
These final two weeks of the year for many is a time to decompress and take a break.
​
And for those who celebrate, the holidays are filled with intentions of eating amazing food, gathering with loved ones (if you can) and of course exchanging presents.
​
But really, one of the most important gifts you can give another person won't cost you a thing.
​
Even in our age of endless distraction, aimlessly scrolling, and swiping right, we as human beings still long for the undivided attention from the people we are with.​
​
Just think how you feel when someone you care about is 100% present with you.
​
That feeling of "being seen" is what turns these seemingly simple, unassuming moments into unforgettable memories and all it takes is your PRESENCE.
​
Giving and receiving presents is nice, but PRESENCE is the true gift!​
​
Every time I get together with family and friends I try to remind myself to stay present and savor the moment by not letting my mind take me away from the here and now.
​
I encourage you to do the same when you are with loved ones no matter what you are doing.
​
Don't miss out on this precious, gift of the present moment.​
​
Remember, presence only weighs ounces but regret weighs tons.
​
And most importantly the gift of your PRESENCE and the time spent together will mean more to your loved ones than any gift you purchase with money.

The Super-Power You Are Not Using Enough

I recently completed this amazing 2-month course with Denis Waitley author of The New Psychology of Winning and he presented the idea that our imagination creates our self-image.
​
​Imagination is not only the driving force of how we see ourselves but it is one of our greatest powers as human beings.
​
We can consciously imagine to create the life we desire!
​
As you set goals and visions for 2021, do it by tapping into your imagination, because when you elevate your imagination, you in the process elevate what you are capable of.​
​
I created a quick video about this in which I share a simple exercise you can do to give your imagination a jump-start.

No Words To Describe 2020​
​< 1 minute | Oxford English Dictionary

Did you know that every year the Oxford Dictionary names a word of the year? This selection is typically a word or phrase that has attracted a great deal of interest or been emblematic over the past 12 months.
​
2020 has been such a [insert descriptive punchline of your choice], that it has even left the dictionary to be without any words. This year is the first time ever the Oxford Dictionary didn't name a word of the year — describing 2020 as “a year which cannot be neatly accommodated in one single word.”​
​
You can say that again.​

Achieve Your Goals By Elevating Your Consciousness

In last week's newsletter, I wrote about how your state of being is more important than any actions you take towards your goals in 2021. This week I created a short video on the topic specifically on how you can create your state of being by elevating your consciousness.
