Every Sunday at 1 p.m., when my kids, now five and seven, used to have naps, RIP naps,

I take just a minute for myself.

I envision my role, I envision someone I admire, I ask myself what's one thing they would do differently in my role, the answer comes to mind, I send the email, I schedule the flight, I put it in motion, and then once it's in motion, I tell my team.

And over a year of practicing this weekly, a few things will happen.

One, there are 52 things you've done that you otherwise might not have done or done as quickly.

It builds a reputation of vulnerability and bias for action.

My team brings things to me now because they know I'm constantly calling myself out.

This practice has changed my life, and I believe it will change yours if you apply it.

The idea of having a practice of reflection, intention, and action to drive growth, to show up and do something we otherwise wouldn't have, to break through complacency or past patterns is a superpower.

So be like my mom.

Don't let patterns of the past get in the way of doing something different tomorrow.

Ask questions that help motivate action and act your way into growth and confidence.

Thank you.
