Are you someone that walks into the room and brings energy or do you drain it? Choosing and being deliberate, looking people in the eye, saying hello, a little smile, acknowledging a small detail or something that you know might be important to someone else, or just taking a little moment for a chat. This is how people experience you. This is the stuff that matters.

I decided to get an alarm clock and plug my phone into charge in a different room. Yes, it's that simple. I refuse to look at an email or at the news before I've spoken to my husband in bed for at least 15 minutes over a coffee or whatever I might do that morning. It might sound a little dramatic.

It's a choice to take the temperature down and reflect and have a moment of gratitude. Making sure my day opens and closes with a sense of purpose gives my life a simple framework rooted in the things that matter to me. And what is more important than that? Number seven, you have got to take risks.

If there's one thing you take away from this session today, one thing that you remember that you write down is this sentence. Risk is a requirement. Playing it safe is the real danger.
