#8: What You Can Control In Times Of Crisis

We are experiencing a time in the world, that we have never seen before. Listen in to this episode to learn about the things that you can control and focus on that will have you taking daily steps towards things that you want, for yourself and your family.

You may not be able to control what is going on around the world, but you can control the quality of the questions you are asking yourself, the quality of time you are spending with the ones you love, making time for things that matter and using this time to do things that inspire you, learn something new, and slow down.

In the podcast I also mention a brilliant webinar with Arne Rubinstein on “How To Parent In Times Of Crisis” a great resource for families to listen to here is the link to listen in.

Our children are always watching, so lets use this time to be resourceful around them and take steps every day to create positive change in our mindset and actions every day.

Here are some great questions to ask yourself to help you focus on the things that really matter.
