The Best Stress Management Tool Ever ~ Say THANK YOU!

Several of my recent posts have been about overwhelm and having too much to do on our plates.

Everything in our life is not really about the situation, but how we react to it.  It is our reaction that stresses us out.  There are an infinite number of ways to deal with your reaction but the best one I ever heard came from talking with my friend Erin today.  We were checking in with each other to see how business is going and Erin commented that she is slammed with work and all she can think is, Thank  You.  Thank you for the business and the chance to bring in some money.

That’s it! Thank you!  Not ~ oh sh*t, how am I ever going to get this done and I can’t believe that I have to do this or that or what ever.  Just thank you.

Take a minute right now to relax and say thank you.  Yes, your plate is full and yes you have alot going on, say thank you.  The business means that many wonderful things are on their way to you.  Say thank you even for the things that don’t look so exciting or perfect right now.  Sometimes we need those too, in order to realize what we need to change or it gives us the motivation to find a new approach. Know that a solution is on it’s way and for that you can say… Thank You.

October 23, 2026

Try this on for size: What if the market isn’t good or bad? What if it’s about shifting your perspective? There are amazing opportunities for both buyers and sellers right now.

It’s Not Just Your Story – It’s Everyone Else’s Too

August 28, 2026

I’ve spent years working on my own limiting beliefs — but I discovered one at the Abraham Hicks workshop last weekend that I had completely missed. Esther, aka Abraham Hicks, has been a leader in mindset, energy, and attraction for decades. My mom actually took my sister and me to a workshop 30 years ago,…

Bet On Yourself VS The Market

August 21, 2026

Last week I shared how the end of August is a weird time – wanting to savor summer, while also shifting back into work mode. Turns out I’m not the only one this happens to! Thank you for all of the notes and feedback. I’ve found that when I’m not taking action, I spend WAY…

I Used To Dread The Last 2 Weeks Of August

August 14, 2026

Thirty years in real estate has taught me a lot of things. One of the best is this: I can finally see my own patterns. Like the one where I get twitchy every year mid-August. Part of me wants summer to stretch on forever. Part of me is itching for routine, order, and the satisfaction…

Beliefs = Actions = Results – It Matters Where You Start

August 7, 2026

August is an interesting month for me. I’m savoring the relaxed pace of summer, while also starting to think about Fall and shifting back into work mode. With a shift in focus I naturally start wondering what will happen. Will I be busy? Where will my clients come from? Will they be buyers or sellers?…

How Do You Want Summer To Feel?

June 19, 2026

Summer is often a season of expectations not meeting reality. I used to think my perfect summer meant iced tea on the patio while reading every day. For the record, that’s never happened. And for a while, I felt bad about it — like I was missing out, like I was doing summer wrong. Until…
