Start with the course: 8 Prompts for What’s Ahead.
Watch the accompanying videos for each prompt starting with “It is going to be a great day” write it down, say it out loud then reflect in the evening before sleep. Each week add another prompt until you are using all 8. Repetition trains what your brain notices.
Why this course works
We prime attention (Reticular Activating System) first so your brain spots the right signals, then we lower friction so action is easier.
- It is going to be a great day
- Something cool is going to happen today
- Whatever happens, I can handle it
- A new chapter begins today
- I deserve to give myself more credit for how hard I am working
- I’m allowed to be a work in progress
- If I keep showing up, life will reward me
- I make a valuable contribution to the world
Try the Winter Sunflower Challenge (or whenever you want)
Sunflowers turn towards the sun and stand tall in tough conditions — a simple, hopeful metaphor for winter. They’re also a symbol of personal growth: their bright yellow petals and radiant energy are often linked with positivity and joy, reminding us to look for what’s life-giving, even on short, grey days.
Why this course works
The Winter Sunflower Challenge — small, research-based moves that prime attention (Reticular Activating System RAS), lower friction, and build momentum without overwhelm.
Week one: 🌻If your intention is vague your brain can’t find it
Week two: 🌻 “Whatever happens I can handle it — because…”
Week Three: 🌻 “If I keep showing up, life will reward me — because…”
Week Four 🌻“I can’t do that.” We say it fast. What if that phrase is the block—not the truth?
Week 5 🌻Two words can tilt your day at every transition: What if…?
Week 6 🌻 Self-talk test: Is it Kind, True, Useful?
Week 7 🌻 Pre-holiday reset
Week 8 🌻New Year mindset
Work Through The Mindset Settings — Staying Power Series ✨
Because I love Dr Alia Crum’s idea that mindsets are “settings” in the mind — not fixed traits. And settings can be questioned. Adjusted. Re-set. Each week, we’ll “turn the dial” to one setting that helps you keep moving towards what matters most:
Focus • Courage • Patience • Support • Meaning
Why this course works
Mindset Settings works because attention is trainable. Naming one weekly setting primes your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to notice what matters, and your default inner narration (DMN) starts rehearsing a more helpful story — making follow-through more likely.
Week One: FOCUS
Week Two: COURAGE
Week Three: PATIENCE
Week Four: SUPPORT
Week Five: MEANING
Why not try Monday Reset: 8 Mondays — small, research-based moves for mid-career professionals (and anyone feeling a bit stuck).
A Monday reset for when life feels full and follow-through feels harder than it should.
Each week you’ll use one simple prompt and a tiny 60–120 second Move to train what your brain notices, make starting easier, and build steady momentum.
Why this course works
We prime attention (Reticular Activating System) so your brain spots what matters, use simple cues (If–Then plans) to turn intention into action, lower friction so starting is easier, and build confidence by noticing micro-wins — week by week.
Week One: 🔎 This week, my work is about…
Week two: 🔁 If I open my laptop, then…
Week three: ⚙️Remove one step (make starting easy)
Week four: 🗣️ Meeting self-talk: “I’m here to contribute one useful thing.”
Week five: ⚡ Reframe nerves: “I’m excited because…”
Week six: 🧱 Boundaries: one 25-minute “Future-me” block
Week seven: ✅ Micro-wins: “I did ___ even though ___.”
Week eight: 🌱 Next chapter: one micro-experiment
