"Learning is finding out that you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, and teachers."

Happy Day 24 everyone!
How did the exercise go of getting to reflect and reboot three times during the day? One of my beeps came during lunch and I was able to sit there for a few moments and think back over the previous few hours. I definitely noticed some anxious and contentious thoughts – and also noticed a presence of grace that stayed with me as well. Good old grace…I will take all I can get.
Anything big show up for anyone? Or, did any of your reboots really stop you in your tracks? I spoke to a friend the other day doing the 30 Day program and she commented how she has been loving how conscious and awake she has been recently. She feels she is constantly “noticing” her thoughts and beliefs – and it is constant, but she is so grateful that she is awake and noticing the thoughts – instead of being the thoughts. That is fantastic!
Day 24: Aw Shucks!
Who doesn’t like being told that you inspire them? Come on. That is the gift you get to give today. Take the opportunity either in person or on the phone to tell someone how they inspire you – and why! Be forthright. Then, if you get the chance – ask them a question or two to help them open up and share some insights.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if we all shared some of the insights from the people that inspire us? That would be a great collection!
Inspiring story: If you have the time and have never seen this story – check it out. Each of us has YES in us – and sometimes we just need the right opportunity to let it out. Enjoy:

YES and…: If you are interested in continuing on once the 30 Days have been completed – let me know and I will put you on the list.
Have a wonderful YES day everyone!

These exercises are really bringing "mindfulness" into my experience. I enjoyed being mindful of my eating, and am continuing to do that whenever I can. Rebooting brought a lot of mindful thinking/acting into my day. It brought peaceful mindfulness and a right sense of motivation. It's spilling over into today and hopefully tomorrow, and the next day, and the ...
Aw shucks exercise found me sharing w/ a co-worker.The ensuing questions that resulted from my sharing helped to bring her into a contemplative place where she did some good soul-searching. Our conversation was a blessing for us both.
Such great things happening with me from these exercises. I love them!
I had lunch today with a former co-worker, and I told her how she had inspired me in the past. I didn't use the word "inspire", but I told her how her confidence in me always helped me grow in certain situations that were challenging at work.
I definitely believe it's important to make a habit of letting people know how and when they inspire you.
p.s. I like your title of today's exercise. AW Shucks!
