16 RUSTOUT: The slow death that follows when we stop making the choices that keep life alive. It s the feeling of numbness that comes from always taking the safe way, never accepting new challenges, continually surrendering to the day to day routine. Rustout means we are no longer growing, but at best, are simply maintaining. It implies that we have traded the sensation of life for the security of a paycheck Rustout is the opposite of burnout. Burnout is overdoing. Rustout is underbeing. ~~Richard Leider and Steve Buchhoz

27 RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF How would you describe yourself to someone who doesn t know you? Are you the type of person you would want your daughter to turn in to? Do you recognize how important it is to take care of yourself so you can take care of everyone/everything else? Are you nice to yourself or are you overly critical in your thoughts? Do you have someone you can talk to who can put things in to perspective when you re being extra hard on yourself?

28 Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you re in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. I think that s the most important thing in life. Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else. Angelina Jolie

29 WOMEN EMPOWERING OTHER WOMEN Another woman s achievements do not constitute failure on your part. You are on your own unique journey and you can be whatever you strive to be Remove the toxic, negative women in your life. Surround yourself only with people who lift you up and genuinely care about your happiness and success Compliment other women!!! You can accomplish so much more by helping one another then by working against each other. Share your wisdom!

30 Insecurity Competes and Confidence Empowers Recognize that some people will be jealous of your success.forget about it!!! If you feel jealousy use it to drive yourself If you align yourself with other strong, positive, likeminded women you become POWERFUL! (Girl Code by Cara Alwill Leyba)

31 SETTING DAILY INTENTIONS Set 1-3 goals for your day and write them down on paper or put in your planner Cross them out when you ve completed them Make 1 goal be specific to doing something for yourself (exercise, calling a friend, reading a book)

32 MORE TIPS. Learn to say NO! Learn to delegate Not everything has to be done perfectly Declutter your life Do something fun every once in a while

33 GRATITUDE THANKFUL PEOPLE ARE THE MOST HAPPY At least once a week, write down what you re grateful for Talk to your kids and spouse about these things and tell them specific things that make you thankful for them Don t let negativity take over your thoughts, focus on the good You are the only one who can control your thoughts Live in the present moment and appreciate each moment (don t look back, you re not going that way!)

34 A FEW THINGS TO THINK ABOUT If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep.you are richer than 75% of the world s population If you have a little money in the bank or spare change in a dish someplace..you are among the top 8% of the world s wealthy If you can read this message..you are more blessed than two billion people who cannot read at all If you can drink from your kitchen faucet whenever you want..you are more fortunate by far than 1.5 billion people who have no access to clean water at all If your everyday problems are weighing you down, there are millions of people on Earth who would gladly trade places with YOU right nowproblems and all-and feel that they have been royally blessed

35 If you knew that you were going to die tonight, or merely that you would have to go away and never return, would you, looking upon family and friends for the last time, see them in the same light that you have previously seen them? Would you not love as you have never yet loved? ~~Maurice Maeterlinck
