The next time things are going well - when you receive great feedback on a project or idea you've been working hard on;
when everything flows smoothly from your commute to your morning routine, things just click into place; when you have a meaningful interaction with a colleague, friend, or loved one, leaving you feeling connected and supported; when the sun is shining...take your phone and go for a walk.
Hit record on an audio app and make a twenty minute auduobook. Share what you know, what you are excited about, and what you see ahead. Reflect on the changes you want to make and the steps you plan to take to get there.
Then save that recording.
One day, when you need a reminder of the person you are at your best, when challenges arise, or when motivations feels hard to find, listen to it. You'll hear your own voice offering encouragement, guidance, and optimism---exactly what you need to keep moving forward.
It might become the best audiobook you own.
