Sips Of Sunshine

Last week I did a podcast about a new approach to journaling. Whoa. I've been doing it for a week now and it's completely changed the way I journal and how quickly I get to the truth. Enjoy.

Going after big, life-changing (or even smaller) goals can bring out our biggest fears, insecurities and doubts. I learned this journaling exercise from Tim Ferris - it takes about 30 minutes to complete and 100% changed the way I look at my goals, dreams and vision for my life. I hope you like it!

We're all smart, kind, talented, entrepreneurial, etc. in our own ways. This one short phrase helped me reframe how I think about myself and my talents. Hope you like it, too!

This one little trick changed the depth and truth to my journaling. This is a super quick sip. Enjoy!

I'm sharing my daily Sacred Six practice with you in today's episode. These are the 6 things I do (in total they take less than 30 minutes) that set my day up for clarity, productivity, focus and energy. Sending you so many good vibes!

A world with Coronavirus will look different than the world pre-pandemic. Today's episode is about innovation and I'll share a couple of fun stories about innovation in the past and how we resisted it.

You know things are getting wonky when I record an episode with my retainer in (let me know if you can tell...) and I record in bed (rule #1 in this house: no computer on the bed). Lawless times here in Coronavirusland. Today's pod is twofold. We're talking about NOMO and habits. Thanks for listening!

6 weeks into Coronavirus lockdown here in New York, empty streets, empty cafes and empty shops have lost their shock value. Now they feel normal. In fact, I think it will feel strange to be close to people again, walk past a packed restaurant, stand next to someone at a crosswalk... This short pod is about what I see when I walk down an empty street. Love to you all.

You'd think being closer to the end of this journey than the beginning that I'd have more clarity about the future. You'd think. Here's how I'm keeping my energy aligned and my path straight even in the face of uncertainty.

It's easy to keep tabs on what we've lost. Money, freedom, touch, opportunity, travel, weddings...on and on. This episode is about how you can shift your mindset, measure the immeasurable and find forward-looking peace.

If Coronavirus has taught us anything, it's to plan for the unexpected. This podcast is for the person who maintained most or all of their income during COVID-19 and is okay financially during this time, but might not have been okay if they had lost any income. I'm sharing a few tips for how I prepared for this and how you can prepare for the next unexpected situation. With a little planning, you can ride out any storm.

Ep 55: You Are the Biggest, Baddest Floatie: Coronavirus Edition by Amy Ogden

We talk a lot about redefining success, but what about redefining progress? Who says progress is always "up and forward?" Not me. Not anymore, anyways. Let's dive into that together.

You know how you see a movie for the second time and you're much more calm when the main character gets in a pickle? You know they'll ultimately be okay. That's how I look at life - even when the craziest things happen, I know that in the end, I'll be okay. And you will too.

There's so much we don't know right now. So much. I'm struggling with the unknowns like many of you. I was listening to an audiobook tonight that gave me a wonderful way to gain some perspective in this very unknown time. I'm sharing this with you in today's podcast. Sending so much love.

When you feel like everything you have has been taken away, it's a beautiful time to lean into gratitude. This weekend I started a daily gratitude practice and it's giving me peace and calm during this unknown time. Focusing on what we do have versus what we don't is such a wonderful way to calm our minds and lighten our spirits. As we move into our second month of quarantine, I'm sending you all so much love.

I read this piece and felt called to share it with you. Sending so much love this Passover and Easter.

Today's podcast is a little different. We'll talk about your brain's response to isolation, why looking "really far out" is important and why you might be napping more than usual.

We're all quiet with our thoughts more than ever before. I'm using this time to explore journaling and listening to what my spirit has to say. If you're curious about journaling, I offer my method here (pretty late in the episode, but it's there!) and I also talk about how we're each experiencing our own "pain" during this time and how it's all valid. Loving you from afar. xx

This is a strange time and you shouldn't expect to be "yourself" every day. We're all navigating this together and individually. You are allowed (welcomed!) to have a different day, hour, minute and then choose again. This is no playbook. Let's be graceful and flow through this together.
