Have you ever wanted to get a fresh start, have a clean slate? There's a reason for that. A clean slate is the perfect time to begin a new habit, or to break down ones you don't like. Continuing to read Gretchen Rubin's Better than before, host Abigail Wright uses her parents as a prime example as they enter into retirement, living on a sailboat.
Good news! You don't have to move onto a sailboat to create a clean slate. Instead, career and success coach Hal Elrod has an idea and an invitation for all of us to embark together on our best month ever this November. Check it out!
As we continue to discuss happiness researcher and author Gretchen Rubin's book, Better than before, host Abigail Wright tackles the question, "What are the most important habits for creating a better life?"
TPOP host Abigail Wright discusses motivation. With a drive to know herself better, she shares how you can know your tendencies towards expectations in life. Many thanks to author and happiness researcher Gretchen Rubin for creating this framework to help us understand the way we naturally respond to expectations. This perspective is huge for creating meaningful change!

I'm still healing, off the pain medication, and need to find ways to cope and stay happy, so I decide to turn to motivational coach and speaker Hal Elrod's The Miracle Morning. It's a six-step process Hal created to make every morning work toward success and happiness and one of my favorite routines. Come along for the ride and see how I do it to help with my healing process! Spoiler alert: I like to ski.
It's done! The surgery was approved, and I'm on my way to healing. In this episode, I talk about accepting help and how grateful I am for everyone who's helped and reached out to me, while on a homemade stationary bicycle for my physical therapy exercises.
Keep watching for some silly bonus footage from the hospital.
Thanks for joining me for season 2 of The Peace of Persistence! This season, we'll have more interviews with amazing people, and a brand new feature. Each week, expect another episode on Fridays about my own persistent search for success and happiness.
This week, I come clean about the struggles I've had physically for the past nine months, and I'm reminded of last season's extended audio episode with Paul Nelson. At 99 years of age, he talks about how he always assumes everything's going to work out. A lesson I definitely need to remember.
Oh and it's a labral tear, not that other thing that starts with "lab." ;)
Thanks for watching - stay tuned for next week's episode, hopefully post-surgery!!
