You are incredibly brilliant, creative, and hardworking. But do you sometimes make things too difficult for no good reason?

How can you simplify your work day and key activities?

Lean Yin!

In part three of this audio series, I share this 1-minute tip that will:

  • Wake you up to what you may be over-complicating
  • Make you feel smarter by simplifying the “what” and “how” of your work
  • Ask a critical question that you can even post in your office and enter as a reminder on your smart devices

Enjoy!

What does it mean to Lean Yin?

Years ago, it was all the rage to Lean In. In hindsight, after her husband tragically died at a too-young age, the author Sheryl Sandberg took a different approach with co-author Adam Grant in their book Option B: Building Resilience. The idea of Leaning Yin is more akin to Option B: to tap into your inner power and find greater meaning and balance in your life. How? By reducing overwhelm and stress, centering and grounding so you can connect to what is most important, and taking small steps to transform your life in a positive way. The results? Fewer regrets, better results, and a positive ripple effect in your company, your family, your community. That benefits us all! 

 

This step is all about activating the Sage part of your brain. Clients who have taken the six-week mental fitness course with me have learned how to utilize even more tools like those shared in this series. Learn more here.
