Change Your Perspective From


"Have To" To "Get To"

Hello everyone:



Did you know that all the ins and outs and ridges on your ears have names?! 



When this week's article, newsletter and podcast episode drop, I will be recovering from another Mohs Procedure to remove a basal cell carcinoma from my ear, specifically my right tragus.



Basal cell carcinomas are annoying but not as worrisome as other diagnoses, so I promise, I am fine. But I am limited in my activities for three weeks as I recover. If you know me, you realize I don't do "limited activity" well.



But I am working on it.



We were talking about what to call this 3 week period, and after we tried out a few ideas, my wise husband suggested "sabbatical", so that is what we're going with. This sabbatical provides a deviation from my typical schedule and I am looking forward to tackling some projects I have neglected.



I am looking at this time as a switch from "Have To"s to "Get To"s. What are the things on my list that I really want to get done, but don't typically have the opportunity? And more importantly, are there tasks on my to-do list that would benefit from a positive re-framing, as in "I am excited that I GET TO re-do my website" instead the of the negative "oh, ugh, I have to get that done!" but the frustration and negativity fuels the procrastination?



Read on to explore the shift from Have To to Get To in this week's new article, Change Your Perspective From "Have To" To "Get To".



AND, A PSA - If you have concerns about spots on your skin, see your dermatologist. Most concerns are treatable, especially if you act sooner rather than later. Go.



Live near me? The Chicago Ridge Public Library is "partnering with PCs for People to collect eWaste for reuse and recycling. You may drop off accepted items inside the library on Friday, August 23 and Saturday, August 24 between 9am and 4pm." (click on this block for more information, accepted and non-accepted items).
