  Finding Those Micro Moments of Positivity Resonance (TODAY!)

  As we’ve discussed, I absolutely love Love 2.0 by Barbara Fredrickson. As a super-introverted guy, it’s easy for me to get lost in my own thought bubbles and forget to exit what Barbara calls our “cocoon of self-absorption.” In the process of spending so much time lost in our own thoughts and/or ...

  To Inspire with Hope, Courage and Confidence

  Not too long ago, we talked about the shiny new Optimize Virtue Meditation we’re working on as part of our Optimize Coach program.
