Cognitive Distortions - Part 8Don't scold yourself or others for falling short of your standards.  Do you find yourself telling yourself, "I should've done this" or "I should've done that"? These type of words and the tone of them can create unnecessary frustration in your life. When you have goals, it's human to fall short at times. No one achieves everything they want. Take a closer look at your journey and all the knowledge, skills, and relationships you've gained. Don't you think all of them are wins? They are! Now, the same goes for how you judge others. Don't scold them for falling short of your standards. I repeat "your standards," which could be blown out of proportion (another cognitive...

I recently watched The Florida Project on Netflix, a movie by Sean Baker about the innocence of kids making the most of their lives despite being poor. I cried. No matter what problems you have, there's so many other people facing tougher challenges. What an amazing movie, with both playful humor and heart-wrenching drama!

Try tweaking your personal life and business to make a pivot. A couple of days ago, I walked around my neighborhood with my friend Claire Ann Niibu @bizcoachclaire who I've known since our time as students at Pearl City High School.

"I feel like I reached my limits," I explained. Throughout 2020, I've been feeling so overwhelmed and worn down with my business projects and personal challenges.

You've seen enough death to know that your time could be up at anytime. So work hard on how you want to be remembered as, now! Accepting your vulnerability that you could die at any time is not something you may want to think about. However, there's a way you can make it positive. You could look at your future demise as the celebration of your life: (1) The people you've touched with your love and kind gestures; (2) The positive impact you've made on others through your work on a service or product; and (3) Beneficial content you've created for your loved ones and the greater community. I've written down in my life plan, annual plans, and daily plans,...
