What is social distancing Social distancing is a set of nonpharmaceutical infection control actions intended to stop or slow down the spread of a contagious disease. "Many cities undertook just these measures over 100 years ago to blunt the impact of the 1918 influenza pandemic. Those that acted swiftly and decisively were rewarded with fewer cases and a lower peak of cases, relieving the demand for medical care." Why social distancing matters Avoid exposure, avoid spreading. There are not enough tests and we don't have an accurate idea of who has it / who doesn't, The only way to prevent overwhelm is to reduce chance of exposure altogether. Flatten the curve Give the system more time to react Protect yourself and those around you (if you get exposed, everyone you know will likely get exposed). Basic rules to follow Stay at home if you can Wear face masks if you have any of the symptoms (cough, fever, fatigue...etc) Maintain a minimum 6 foot proximity between you and others around you when possible Do not attend events or gatherings unless completely necessary Important notes to consider 1. It's more important than ever now to stay connected with people. Distance does not have to mean isolation. 2. Do not choose to be ignorant here. Yes, there is a lot of hype and nonsense in the media. No, the world probably isn't ending. No you don't need to stock up on 12 years worth of toilet paper. No, your armageddon bunker is probably not necessary. No, this isn't going to turn into the Walking Dead. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be informed and act based on that information. Learn what you need to learn and don't be stupid. This doesn't get solved if we don't take it seriously. This can very quickly turn into a situation like what Italy is currently facing where the country is shut down, and doctors are being forced to decide who lives and who dies based on chances of survival. Or it can be brought under control by giving our medical experts the time they need to find a more concrete solution.  We're the ones in control of which outcome we get. Your actions and choices today matter for this just as they do in your personal development.

In today's episode, we talk about why the past discussion on the past, the present and the future. And we're looking at that through the lens of personal development, what those three things mean to us as individuals and how changing our viewpoint on it could help our personal development, our growth going forward.

In this episode we are looking at some easy ways to make sure you learn something new every single day. In my opinion this is something that is a requirement for personal growth and development. As many of us get older, as we graduate school and move into the workforce and maybe start families, one mistake we make is we often put learning on the back burner. Here are simple ways to change that.

In this episode we are looking at the topic of failure. A failure is such a major part of our growth and so many people hold themselves back because of that failure. They hold themselves back because they are holding onto the past, or the fear of future failures to come. But failure is important, and not failing can actually be holding you back.

In this episode, I talk about the idea of giving 110% and how it might not be the best way to grow. We hear it pretty much all the time in the personal development space but it's something that might be a part of the reason you're sort of being held back in your personal growth.

In this episode, we talk about some lessons I've learned by practicing meditation.  Struggle leads to happiness and permanent growth You always feel better doing the thing rather than not doing it The "you" you think you are is not "you". "You" are not permanent. "You" are malleable and changeable. Therefore, "You" can grow. For 25% off your first order, go to www.DrinkHydrant.com and enter promo code tinyleaps at checkout.

Quoted from Harvard Business Review: "You may think you’re not bothered by your overstuffed filing cabinets or the stacks of paper on your desk. But scientists at the Princeton University Neuroscience Institute have used fMRI and other approaches to show that our brains like order, and that constant visual reminders of disorganization drain our cognitive resources and reduce our ability to focus. They also found that when participants cleared clutter from their work environment, they were better able to focus and process information, and their productivity increased." What can you do?
