Inspirational Quotes

“We are blessed and cursed with self-reflective natures.”

“Doubt has an agenda, right?  Self-reflection asks, ‘why did I do that?’  Doubt asks, ‘should I have done that?'”

“My job as an employer is to be a really good coach and to really support my employees now.”

“The one mistake I’ve never made is waiting until something’s perfect.”

Coaching Advice

To be more intentional about what and how you eat with respect to how it affects your energy and mood, Sam offered these starting points:

1) Try to not use a computer or any technology while eating.  Try to be there to listen to your body and not be focused on a screen.

2) Set an alarm for 1 – 3 hours after you eat.  Use that as a way to examine how the food makes you feel as time passes.

3) Understand that setbacks do happen. try to examine days as a post-mortem and see what may have happened.
