Have you heard the saying, "work smarter, not harder" ?! I used to think it meant the same thing in a lot of ways, because to work smart, you had to work hard. However, that's not always the case. And "working" doesn't just apply to your day job. It could apply to your chores, your ...
Don’t bottle it up
In our last podcast episode we talked about "letting it go," which goes well with not "bottling things up." Why? Because when we keep things held in, screw top on so tight, we can't breathe, our feelings/emotions come bursting out like champagne with the cork hitting a wall (and not as tasty as champagne).
