F.I.R.E.D UP with Krista Mashore

When’s that last time you wrote a thank-you note? I’m not talking about those “thanks for your business” emails that are generated automatically or the smiley icon you use on a text to someone. I mean a real, honest to gosh, sincere thank you note. Well, if you haven’t done one of those in a while, you might want to reconsider because researchers have shown that the simple act of writing a sincere thank you note has all kinds of physical and psychological benefits, both for the sender and the person who receives it.

We’re starting to hear that we might be able to slowly reopen the economy soon. Fingers crossed, right? Some of the pressures of this sheltering in place might be lifted. People will get to go back to work. Businesses will be reopening. Kids might even be able to go back to school in some places. I’m guessing a lot of you are praying for that.  I think we all agree after this, our teachers need to make more money.  But, even though there is light at the end of the tunnel, this is NOT the time to ease up on strengthening your mindset! We’ve still got challenges to face.

I’ve been asking people for ideas on how to keep a strong and healthy mindset during these tough times. And a musician I know said, “What about music?” I love music, especially Broadway musicals, but I hadn’t really thought about music as a tool for keeping us positive and motivated. But I looked at the research and realized that music is really powerful medicine. Here’s some of what researchers have found.

Today’s One Minute Mindset is about noticing the difference between the facts of a situation and the story you tell yourself about that situation. I’ve mentioned this before but there’s a huge and very important difference between those two.  The facts are what’s actually happened or what is happening. Our stories are our interpretations and the meanings we give to the facts. I’m telling you, you can’t believe everything you think. Sometimes these stories are just made-up fantasies. They’re not “facts.”.

Forbearance does not mean Forgiveness.  It’s important to understand what it is that you are signing.  Let’s do some ‘mortgage forbearance math’.

Right now, during the pandemic, it is a scary time for us all. But it doesn't necessarily have to be. Here is why. We have more opportunities now than we have had in a long time. People were afraid to do their business online but now they have to make it a priority. Let us now talk about different ways on how you can take your business online.

I’m doing this blog because, honestly, it’s something that I need to work on and that’s assumptions, especially when it comes to people, and especially when I’m under pressure, and even more especially when the whole world is under pressure. What I know is that my assumptions about people will set the tone for our interactions and even cause them to act differently.

Have you heard the term “personal self-care?” I used to think that personal self-care meant being self-indulgent. To me, it was like wealthy heiresses spending half the day getting massages and pedicures then spending the rest of the day playing mahjong. I’m the kind of person who tends to put others first. So spending time on “personal self-care” seemed really selfish. But I came to realize it just means keeping all parts of yourself—physical, mental, emotional and spiritual—healthy and happy. Taking care of yourself, especially in a time of crisis is not selfish. It’s necessary.

Today’s tip is to breathe. I know that sounds crazy. I mean if you weren’t breathing right now, you wouldn’t be watching or reading this blog, right? But even though you’re breathing, you may not be breathing properly. Which means you may not be getting all of its amazing benefits from breathing properly.

Did you know that some experts say our minds think between 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts a day? Others say it’s only 50,000 thoughts every day. Still, that means we’re thinking at least 2,100 thoughts every single hour. One thought every two seconds. And I’m guessing that a lot of us think a lot more thoughts than that.  The thing is that most of these thoughts are not really productive. They’re thoughts we’ve thought before, negative judgements and reactions, or just useless chatter. But our brains can do much better for us.

I’ve done a bunch of One Minute Mindsets now, offering a lot of tips and techniques that I’ve learned over the years. And I know that every single one is effective for keeping your mindset solid based on my own experience and the experience of my students. And while I’m really happy to share this knowledge with you, I have to tell you that knowledge without action, it does nothing, nada, zip.  Lots of people are chronic learners, but I want you to be a chronic implementer.

I started this series with a blog titled “What I Did During the Pandemic.” It was like those “What I Did During My Summer Vacation” essays I used to have all my third-grade students write way back when I was teaching.  In the weeks since that first blog, I’ve been thinking about this even more. I heard someone say, “A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.” And I think that’s true. A crisis gives us the opportunity to step up, be generous, courageous, creative, proactive, kind and thoughtful.

Businesses that are already set up to be remote or virtual are really fortunate during this time of “social distancing.” Some of these services have taken a hit because their clients and customers are struggling financially. Others, like delivery services, survival, or online vendors, are actually doing better during this time.
