10 Rules of Ichigo Ichie: The Japanese Art of Living Every Moment

“The only people who get upset when you set boundaries are the ones who benefited from you having none.” ~Unknown

The most important decision you will ever make is what to do with the time given to you.I recently received a thank you email from a reader named Hope. She said our work helped motivate her through an arduous recovery process following a serious car accident last year. Although her entire story is both heartbreaking and inspiring, this one line made me pause and think:“The happiest moment of my life is still that split-second a year ago when, as I laid crushed under a 2000 pound car, I realized my husband and 9-year-old boy were out of the vehicle and absolutely OK.”Dire moments like this force us to acknowledge what’s truly important to us.

Eleanor Roosevelt“When you say “yes” to others, make sure you aren’t saying “no” to yourself.” Paulo CoehloWhen you get stuck in the habit of being a people pleaser then that can have a sneaky and negative effect.Not only on you but also on the people around you.Because as you try to please the other people in your life:So trying to please others pretty much all the time is often an even worse choice that one may at first think.But how can you change this behavior and stop being a people pleaser?This week I’d like to share 7 powerful insights and habits that have helped me with that.1. Realize that with some people it isn’t about you and what you do (no matter what you do).Some people just can’t be pleased.

Be OK with walking away. Rejection teaches you how to reject what’s not right for you.As you look back on your life, you will realize that many of the times you thought you were being rejected by someone or something you wanted, you were in fact being redirected to someone or something you needed. Seeing this when you’re in the midst of feeling rejected, however, is quite tough.

You did everything “right.” The grades. The jobs. The grind.You followed the rules and pursued success, maybe even achieved a great version of it.

Curiosity. Risk tolerance. Innovative thinking.

Stimulants are the first-line treatment for most people with ADHD, yet few clinicians receive training on fine-tuning medications like Adderall, Ritalin, or Vyvanse to achieve the best outcomes.No practical, modern protocol exists regarding how to efficiently adjust stimulants to optimize their performance in managing ADHD symptoms and mitigating side effects. The only guidance available stems from the Multimodal Treatment of ADHD (MTA) Study, published in 1999, but the MTA’s research methodology often took as long as eight months to determine each subject’s optimal medication and dose.This is completely impractical in the real world, where insurance coverage pays for only two or three sessions of clinical assessment and medication adjustments.

In the ADHD world, to-do lists are often synonymous with overwhelm. There’s the risk of losing them or forgetting they exist (out of sight, out of mind, right?), filling them with vague goals instead of clear tasks, feeling guilty about ignoring them, and falling into myriad other traps that render to-do lists useless and ineffective.For a better, more effective tool you’ll stick to, try these to-do list ideas.If you find yourself writing the same type of list over and over, why not make a more permanent list that you can refer to repeatedly? Here are a few ideas.[Get This Free Download: Finish Your To-Do List TODAY]Long, vague lists are easy to ignore.

“Do not ruin today with mourning tomorrow.” — Catherynne M. ValenteEver feel a little overwhelmed? Or really overwhelmed?This quick read is for YOU…Once upon a time there was a man who had been lost in the desert for three whole days without water. Just as he was about to collapse, he saw what appeared to be a lake a few hundred yards in front of him.

In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world, challenges are not just inevitable, they are essential. For global organizations, challenges push leaders to unlock creativity, develop resilience, and pursue excellence.The key to overcoming these challenges lies in a clear, adaptable strategy paired with curiosity, persistence, and a proactive mindset.To steer their organizations toward sustainable success, strategists and senior leaders must first become exceptional problem solvers.That starts with developing two distinct but complementary strategies: a static strategy for internal challenges and a dynamic strategy for external ones.Every organization moves through the product life cycle: introduction, growth, saturation, and decline.

One of the most underestimated jobs today is modern parenting. The management of different schedules with work and after-school activities can make the average citizen dizzy. Between work commitments, multiple children, and activities scattered across town, something always seems to go wrong. A meeting runs late, traffic backs up, or a child forgets about an early dismissal day.

Let’s start off with a simple question:Why do we always take things personally?There are admittedly quite a few valid reasons to consider. But the one Marc and I have found to be most common through 15 years of working with our coaching clients and live event attendees is the tendency we all have of putting ourselves at the center, and seeing everything — every event, conversation, circumstance, etc. — from the viewpoint of how it relates to us on a personal level.

You don’t realize how often you block your own present blessings by holding on to everything so tightly.It’s always necessary to accept when some part of your life has reached its inevitable end. Closing the door, completing the chapter, turning the page, etc. It doesn’t matter what you title it; what matters is that you find the strength to leave in the past those former parts of your life that are over, and those little ideals in your mind that simply aren’t meant to be.Over the past 15 years, as Angel and I have gradually worked with hundreds of our course students, coaching clients, and live event attendees, we’ve come to understand that the most common cause of human frustration on an average day is our stubborn propensity to hold on to things long after it’s time to let go. In a nutshell, we hold on tight to the hope that things will go exactly as we imagine, and then we complicate our lives to no end when they don’t.So let’s take a look at some of those things we often regret holding on to in life…Try to use frustration and inconvenience to motivate you rather than annoy you. You are in control of the way you look at life. Instead of getting angry, find the lesson.

Emotional dysregulation and impulsivity can hijack learning when students’ ADHD symptoms collide with academic pressure, peer conflict, transitions, or other stressors. Understanding the neuropsychological underpinnings of, and triggers for, these outbursts is the first step to curbing them – with efficacy and empathy.Not every meltdown is preventable, nor is every response perfect. But educators can minimize the impact of emotional dysregulation in the classroom by building a toolkit of proactive and reactive strategies designed to create a supportive environment for all students.[Free Webinar: “Classroom Behavior Strategies for Students with ADHD”][Download: Free Guide to Solving Behavior Problems Rooted in Executive Function Deficits ]Educators can help students understand and support their emotionally dysregulated classmates with the following tactics.Taylor just had a meltdown in class and, wow, it was a doozy.

“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.”As you age you will learn to value your time, genuine relationships, meaningful work, and peace of mind, much more. Little else will matter.Deep down you know that already, right?Yet on most days, just like the majority of us, you get distracted by so many others things. You give your time to lots of meaningless time-wasters.

Most entrepreneurs step into the startup world prepared to fight competitors, woo investors, and navigate unpredictable markets. They expect the sleepless nights and tough decisions. What they don’t expect is how one click, a single email link, a quick download, an innocent attachment, could take everything they’ve built and put it on the line.The battleground for modern startups isn’t just on sales calls or pitch decks.

It always feels better to be exhausted from taking little steps forward, than it does to be tired of doing absolutely nothing.In 1911 two explorers, Amundsen and Scott, embarked on a race against each other to become the first known human being to set foot upon the southernmost point of Earth. It was the age of Antarctic exploration, as the South Pole represented one of the last uncharted areas in the world.
