The Importance Of Taking Two Steps Back

October 1, 2017 By Uncoveries

taking two steps back

There’s usually something that has the tendency to lead us astray over and over again. The pattern differs for each person and recurs under many circumstances, fooling us into thinking that this time was a unique event rather than part of a recurring theme.

Often referred to as an Achilles heel, it’s a characteristic or preference that plays out in a similar way time and time again—resulting in us taking two steps back.Continue Reading

When It’s Time To Reassess

When It's Time To Reassess

When it’s time to reassess, many of us choose to ignore the signs.

Instead, we temporarily alleviate the strain on our energy with various tactics and distractions. There’s no shortage of ways of how we can distract ourselves from an upcoming cycle of change.Continue Reading

The Magic of Setting Intentions and Letting Go

October 10, 2016 By Uncoveries

setting-intentions-and-letting-go

As I’m sitting by the poolside on a condo rooftop in City Center, Las Vegas, I keep on thinking about how crazy life can be, and how quickly circumstances can change when setting intentions and letting go. Our short, synchronistic stay right on the strip—as pretentious and flashy of a reputation the city may have—feels oddly appropriate.

It’s a larger-than-life reminder that anything can happen. While there are inevitable losses along the way, there’s also the chance to win big with some strategic risks, persistence and a little bit of luck.Continue Reading

Appreciating the Present Moment

Fully appreciating the present moment has always been a major struggle for me.

It’s an area I grapple with—even after years of working on it. Continue Reading

Everything Will Be Okay

August 12, 2016 By Uncoveries

Through shifting changes, we occasionally forget everything will be okay.

We tend to highlight what’s still not resolved, what’s imperfect, or what may or may not be coming. We underrate the blessings in our lives, and become overly impacted by what still hasn’t fallen into place. It’s easy to lose perspective on how good we have it when our focus is on what’s lacking.

Sometimes the fluctuating parts of our lives feel too great. We’re simply not sure what’s going to happen or what we’re going to do in a situation. We feel frozen between the different paths, sit on the sidelines in our indecision and become inundated by fear.

But consider this.Continue Reading

Real Talk on the Next Phase for Uncoveries

July 6, 2016 By Uncoveries

Next Phase

It’s been about a year and half since I began writing regularly* on Uncoveries.

And by regularly*, I mean once a week when I’ve been timely, and two to three times a month when I haven’t been as prompt (I’ll spare you the excuses).

It’s about time for some real talk—about the next phase for Uncoveries, a couple changes, and the reason behind them.

Why am I doing this now?

Spark: The Catalyst for Change

June 28, 2016 By Uncoveries

Spark The Catalyst For Change

Without warning, a spark ignites on what was just another day. What happens is unexpected, yet there seems to be a message.

If you’re paying attention, it could be a spark—the catalyst for change.

And if you’re courageous enough to embrace the unknown, you may realize it’s time to move on. It may be time to move on in some capacity, whether it’s out of a current job, mindset, activity, relationship or environment.Continue Reading

Optimize: The Rewards of Expertise

Optimize The Rewards of Expertise

When the tumultuous trek fades into a calm stroll, it’s initially hard to believe.

Immersed in the daily toil of building towards our goal or dream, we’re taken aback that we’re suddenly there. We’ve lost count of all the steps in the process—but at some point, the effort from the previous phases Reassess, Erase, Explore and Build all come together to the most desired phase for many: Optimize.Continue Reading

Build: Forging the Path

June 6, 2016 By Uncoveries

Build Forging a Path

The destination is a marvelous sight to behold.

When we’ve set sight on a direction of growth and genuine excitement, it’s time to build, forging the path to our goal. Whether it’s trying out a new fitness regimen, changing careers, or embarking on a new relationship—building a new part of our life is when enthusiasm gradually gives way to muscle, mindset, patience and perseverance.

Moving from Explore to the Build phase is the beginning of a trek that can last from months to many years. This is where you hone intent, lay out a plan and execute the steps. It’s the practical, hardworking and laborious part of the journey. Build generally starts off with high energy and optimism with a dash of necessary foolishness. In new territory, we’re bound to be naïve in certain areas as we research, learn and figure things out as we go along.Continue Reading
