Summary

Start your week shining bright with this episode of Positive Mindset Monday! Today I’m sharing five practical ways to stay positive, inspired by my new book, The Seven Commitments of a Great Team. In this episode, I’ll walk you through the L.I.G.H.T. method: Each letter stands for a simple habit that can help you push past fear, embrace inner strength, and face challenges with gratitude and faith. Whether life feels heavy or you just need a boost, these steps will help you tap into the positivity that’s already inside you. We’ll talk about the power of love over fear, living from the inside out, shifting from a “have to” to a “get to” mindset, holding onto faith, and using your own words to lift yourself up. Tune in, soak up some encouragement, and pass the light on to someone who needs it. Because when you live L.I.G.H.T., you don’t just survive the week, you thrive.
