It's National Nonprofit Day!

Nonprofit organizations are one of the most impactful contributing entities throughout our country. They unite to take collective action to address systemic and institutional obstacles. They provide programming to meet gaps in care for real needs. Not only do they directly provide valuable services to the community, they create opportunities for individuals to align their passions, skillsets and experience in an employment setting. They create opportunities for individuals to contribute their heart and experience through volunteerism. They offer mission-aligned options for those who desire to donate- services, items, and dollars- at all stages of life.

As a Consultant who often works with non-profit organizations, I have growing appreciation for all they do to move beyond the barriers and continue to expand services to meet current and emerging needs.

Let's acknowledge and support nonprofits doing some of the most impactful work for the good of our community.

Each non-profit deserves standalone recognition. Amplify non-profits that people need to know about in the comments and be sure to give a heart or thumbs up for those already listed!

With gratitude for our non-profit organizations and leaders throughout the country, THANK YOU!

My 1st national conference!

Much gratitude to the AICPA Conference planning committee and correspondence leads, Lexi, Ashlee, and Dani!

Let’s talk positive self-talk and resilience…

Facts:

Research shows that the way we talk to ourselves directly impacts our stress levels, resilience, and overall mental well-being.

Restructuring our thought patterns- replacing negative thoughts with thoughts that are both realistic and helpful- helps us shift how we feel, how we cope, and how we navigate life’s stressors, setbacks, and pressure.

Positive self-talk is a mental skill that works best when it is honest, grounded, and supportive. When we are mindful to use helpful and encouraging self-talk, we cope better with difficult situations and are less reactive.

Create strategic rhythms:

Notice your response to situations that elicit high stress and pressure- situations in which your knee-jerk reaction might be negative or that of self-doubt…

Identify a positive self-talk statement to replace the self-doubt or negative messaging- something as simple as… “This is hard, and I can handle it!” Or the one I use a lot… “I’ve gotten through situations like this before, and I’ll do it again!”

What are some of your positive self-talk strategies?
