Have 10 minutes?

Here’s how I want to you spend it … [The Writer’ s Life]( November 6, 2023 "The first step is clearly defining what it is you're after, because without knowing that, you'll never get it." – Halle Berry Time seems to move SO fast these days, {NAME} … But I have something that can slow it down. Seriously. I can make it go painfully slow. Want to try it out? Grab your phone, set a timer for 10 minutes … And then just there in silence. No music, no distractions, no electronics … just you, alone with your thoughts. I'm not talking about meditating. All you must do is sit there and reflect on where you are today. If you're not used to slowing down, time … will … crawl. As Jade mentions at the end of [today's Monday Morning Jumpstart](, you may even grab your phone and see if your timer somehow got switched off. 😉 It's HARD to stop and reflect on what's happening in your life! But if you do … It can be incredibly powerful in helping you get to where you want to go. Ted and Jade talk about the benefits of taking time to reflect in today's Jumpstart … As well as tackle some deeper questions on goal setting, like uncovering the real intention of a goal, and another big one … When it's ok to give up on a goal!
