Bright Ideas To Live By

Not even a power outage will stop our momentum ...

Hello Wonderful. We've been burning the midnight oil over here despite the fact that power outages have swept through the state of California. Undeterred, we're holed up in a hotel in the city with electricity and working WiFi. We're six days away until showtime then it's back to our regularly scheduled programming. In the interim, we've focused today's list on stress management and gratitude—two methods of survival whatever the situation. Hope you have a great weekend and see you next week! ISSUE #191 BRIGHT IDEAS TO LIVE BY October 11, 2019 by Gina Pell + Amy Parker   "I live by two words: tenacity and gratitude."   - Henry Winkler   THE WHAT LIST 100% Editorial picks. No pay for play. Ever.   The Work.   Because we live more than an hour from each other, we often work remotely over video chat which helps us feel more connected especially in light of this article: How Remote Working Can Increase Stress and Reduce Well-Being.   The Life.   We're all trying to live a better life. Who knew it could be so simple?    The Story.   A new study from Boston University reveals fascinating behavior in children regarding positive and negative reciprocity. Is it possible that we are hardwired for revenge and can positive stories change our behavior? Spoiler alert? Yes.   The Book. Do you have a calming morning routine? Do you practice a 3-4-5 breath? Here are a few tips from Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, author of the book The Stress Solution.   THE WHAT SUMMIT LOVE IN PRAISE OF OUR BIGGEST SUPPORTERS Almost everything we do at The What is free—from this newsletter to our helpful Fb groups and all the information we dispense on the daily—but an in-person summit is a fortune to produce and we couldn't have come this far without the help of our awesome sponsors who believe in the value (and magic) of bringing together a group of women to learn from and support each other. Please take a look at our list of supportive superstars and explore what they do.  For those of you who can't come to The What Summit, we are compiling goodies for our Digital Gift Bag, which will feature perks from our TWS partners for all of the members in our community. We will be launching this after the summit. Stay tuned.    Thanks for reading Love, Amy + Gina Copyright © 2018-19, All rights reserved.
