Recently I was speaking at a Hair Show in Philadelphia, PA. My experience before arriving at the show was very unpleasant. I had every right to explode, however I didn’t. I had every right to yell, but I didn’t, I had every right to quit, yet I didn’t.

I share this to say we don’t have to react to every situation. We must learn to pick our battles. Choosing to not react to distractions will alleviate so much stress and keep you focused on your purpose. I had to think quickly and us my 3 p’s. I paused by taking some deep breaths and remembering my purpose for being in Philadelphia anyway. I then took a few minutes to Plan; I planned how I was going to react to the foolery. And then I pressed play again. I realized it was all just a distraction to keep me from getting to my goal.

Distractions, distractions, they are going to happen but you have to choose to “Boss Your Thoughts.” Follow my 3 P’s and remember your purpose and goal.

Watch out for my upcoming classes. I am also available for 1 on 1 consulting.

Until the next time Tribe,

Lisa
