A 5-Minute Practice to Recharge Your Social Battery If the link to play the video above isn't working, click here to watch. I'm curious, Reader ... what size social battery do YOU have? My personal battery's capacity is pretty small (like AAA equivalent) and needs frequent recharging. Social situations and interacting with large numbers of people leaves me feeling drained. Perhaps that's why working from home suits me so well? If you're an introvert like me, you know the importance of resetting and recharging. And if you're an extroverted "people person," you, too, need to take care of yourself and recharge your battery to be at your best. That's why I'm sharing today's video meditation to help you enjoy connecting with others ... something we all crave yet don't always have the "battery power" for. And while this may be more noticeable at the holidays, it applies year-round. So I hope you'll use this 5-minute mindful breathing practice to ground and balance you whenever you need it. As always, I'd love to know what you think of this week's newsletter. Post your thoughts on social and tag me (@coachmichelepeterson), or simply reply to this email! Thank you. I appreciate you! xoxo, Now for more good stuff ...

Give Yourself Credit — A Gentle Boost for Your End-of-Year Confidence Reader, I want to start this week with a moment you might recognize … You sit down at your desk with a fresh cup of coffee, ready to take on the day — and instead of celebrating the three things you finished yesterday, your brain immediately serves up a highlight reel of everything that isn’t done yet. The client update you meant to write. The half-finished email sequence. The pile of sticky notes multiplying like gremlins....
How Looking Back Moves You Forward Let’s be honest Reader — most of us are already mentally packing up this year. We’re thinking about new goals, fresh planners, and the big push to end strong. But before you charge into what’s next, I want you to pause. Take a deep breath. And look back. I know — that can feel counterproductive in a world that worships momentum. But here’s the quiet truth most entrepreneurs miss: Reflection is fuel. It’s how you refill your confidence tank before the next...
The Mindset Shift that Multiplies Your Momentum Reader, gratitude isn’t just a “feel-good” habit — it’s a focus habit.
