Remember who you are Do you remember who you are? One of the first things I do when working with new clients is to ask them to reflect on their lives, focusing on the great and challenging moments. At first, they have trouble deciding what to include, but once we get going, the memories flow. This practice helps you remember who you are when working and the world makes you feel out of alignment, overwhelmed, burnt out, or worse. Today, we’ll focus on the great moments.
