This week's episode continues last week's conversation about rejection being an opportunity for redirection in our lives. How are you framing the no’s that come into your life?

When was the last time you looked at your daily habits and routines? Most of us will set goals, but we fail to create routines that support them. Then, we get discouraged, quit, and repeat the cycle with a new goal. You need strong routines, and on this episode I share how you can create them.  This week's pearl of wisdom comes from Octavia Butler: “Forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not.” To book a Power Hour: https://www.tamaradias.com/powerhour Follow me on Instagram: @drtamarawdias

Over 80% of people (according to research) have quit their New Year's resolution at this point in the year. If you are in that number, it's not too late.

Join me this week as I share how I'm keeping motivation (despite wanting to quit sometimes) and how you can approach the rest of your 2022.  To book a Power Hour: https://www.tamaradias.com/powerhour Follow me on Instagram: @drtamarawdias

This week, I'm sharing how I approach my day-to-day responsibilities and how you can add more structure into your daily routine.  To book a Power Hour: https://www.tamaradias.com/powerhour Follow me on Instagram: @drtamarawdias

We've all been there. We have those times in our lives where things aren't what we'd want them to be. In fact, if we could, we'd likely blink and transport ourselves to some alternate universe.

Most importantly, I share the reminder that we can all be a little more kind to ourselves and appreciate who we are in this moment.  To book a Power Hour: https://www.tamaradias.com/powerhour Follow me on Instagram: @drtamarawdias

I highlight the importance of compassion, especially during the pandemic, and how intentions free us from the shame of failing.  Book a Power Hour with me: https://www.tamaradias.com/powerhour

If you were to give a survey and ask most 9-5 employees how important transparency is to them, they'd likely rank it high on their list of attributes.
