I learned that before I say "yes" to things, I really have to think about how intentional I want to get this coming year.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: Pausing before responding Having a scripted safety net ready to respond with Making decisions today with tomorrow in mind Why no response is an amazing response Tuning in to how you really feel RESOURCES Come join me on the GrowthDay app: growthday.com  Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com Text DAILY to 310-496-8363 for daily manifesting affirmations and journal prompts.  CONNECT WITH LORI Follow me: @loriharder Follow Lite Pink: @drinklitepink Follow Earn Your Happy: @earnyourhappy Follow Girlfriends & Business: @girlfriendsandbusiness Listen to Girlfriends & Business

One of the most effective life hacks that I’ve discovered is this thing called Parkinson’s Law, which says, “work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” In other words, if you give yourself a month to do something, you’ll take every single day of that month to get it done. But, if you give yourself a week to do that same task, guess what? It will only take you seven days to finish it.  I’m really in this season of kicking myself into high gear and maximizing every minute that I schedule in for work. Where can you compress your time and get more done on a faster timeline?  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What might be holding you back from getting what you want out into the world How I’m challenging myself with the timeline of my book right now  Looking at where you set cushy, comfortable deadlines for yourself  Why it’s so important to understand and honor what season of life you’re in  RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!

With all the traveling and events that I’ve had going on lately, my healthy routines and habits have fallen to the wayside. Instead of sitting in that discomfort, I decided to challenge myself to a week without sugar, which has given me the reset that I need to get back on track and finish this year super strong.  This experience has reinforced the idea for me that if you aren’t hitting your goals, it’s most likely because you’re not getting your mindset and health to that level first.

One of the biggest shifts that we’ve gone through in our businesses is learning how to collapse time by collaborating with experts instead of trying to muscle through everything on our own. Chris and I discuss ways that we’ve been able to grow faster and more sustainably by getting in the right rooms, building out diverse networks, and outsourcing tasks that aren’t in our zones of genius.

One of the most common questions that I get in my DMs is how to get out of a rut when you’re feeling uninspired and burned out. My biggest piece of advice around that is to be intentional about seeking out inspiration and don’t be afraid to try out a different lane.  I always tune into music, watch a great comedian, or move my body in a way that gets me out of my same old routine. I soak in inspiration from other areas of my life and then apply that to my business, my talks, this show一really everything in my life!  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed by personal development content  The importance of branching out into different genres in order to find inspiration Letting yourself play and experience new things  The power of witnessing other people sharing their inspiration  RESOURCES Thanks to Soul CBD for sponsoring the show!

There has been so much resistance in my life lately. I can’t lie, it can feel pretty uncomfortable sometimes. But, Chris and I have made a commitment to consistently step into resistance because we know that we’ll be rewarded for it in the long run.  It can be so tempting to choose the easier, more comfortable option, but once you start training yourself to push through the resistance, all of the things that you really want are waiting for you on the other side.

When you look into the future, you're just inviting in anxiety over something that probably isn't going to happen or isn’t going to feel the way that you think it's going to feel. Instead, you could be living in the present and savoring the moment. I know, so much easier said than done, but this idea has really resonated for Chris and I this past month with all of the events and traveling that’s been going on.
