Send Carla a message!When everything feels overwhelming, our instinct tells us to abandon healthy habits until things settle down. But this is precisely when we need grounding practices most desperately.Journaling—though often misunderstood as merely pretty notebooks and gratitude lists—can be a transformative practice that helps you walk through the crazy of life.Your journal isn't just a diary—it's a personal laboratory where you empty the mental noise, challenge assumptions, and figure out how you want to show up to what's happening around you. Through regular practice, you'll find yourself managing thoughts more effectively, moving beyond outdated thinking, and aligning actions with intentions. The beauty lies in its simplicity: there's no "right way" to journal, only your way.Enjoy!Learn more about Carla:Website: https:/www.carlareeves.com/Connect on LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reevescarla/Connect on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@differentlythepodcastGo to https://carlareeves.com/free-class to get The Class schedule, sign up, and/or pass it on to a friend.

Send Carla a message!Ever catch yourself going through the motions of life while your mind races elsewhere? You're not alone. The most common desire I hear from my coaching clients isn't greater success, but simply to be more present—to stop missing their own lives as they fly by.For my fellow hyper-achievers who struggle to slow down, I offer practical, accessible strategies to bring yourself back to the present: engaging your senses, writing, meditation, and prayer. These small practices can transform ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. Because sometimes, we need to slow down to speed up. Presence fuels rest, creativity, and inspiration—all essential ingredients for a meaningful life and successful business.Enjoy!Learn more about Carla:Website: https:/www.carlareeves.com/Connect on LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reevescarla/Connect on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@differentlythepodcastGo to https://carlareeves.com/free-class to get The Class schedule, sign up, and/or pass it on to a friend.

Send Carla a message!What if the most profound act of self-care isn't another wellness trend, but something far more fundamental? Learning to accept and manage your emotions is a gift you give yourself and everyone around you.True transformation begins with a counterintuitive truth: self-discipline creates freedom. By developing simple practices—pausing before reactions, transitioning mindfully between activities, and regularly checking in with yourself—you can prevent emotional spillover and cultivate inner stability. In our increasingly chaotic world, the ability to maintain inner calm isn't optional—it's essential. Learn more about Carla:Website: https:/www.carlareeves.com/Connect on LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reevescarla/Connect on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@differentlythepodcastGo to https://carlareeves.com/free-class to get The Class schedule, sign up, and/or pass it on to a friend.

Send Carla a message!What if rushing through life is actually slowing us down? What if the narrative of faster always means better, more productive, and more successful isn't working?The constant urgency we feel has become so normalized that we barely notice it anymore – it's become the air we breathe.  When we're moving at such a fast pace we often fabricate unnecessary stress without realizing it: sitting on the edge of our seats, stomachs clenched, constantly watching the clock. This creates a persistent low-grade stress that chips away at our well-being and productivity.Let's talk about how small moments of intentional pausing - can dramatically change outcomes and experiences.Remember: leading your life begins with leading yourself, and sometimes we need to slow down to speed up.Learn more about Carla:Website: https:/www.carlareeves.com/Connect on LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reevescarla/Connect on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@differentlythepodcastGo to https://carlareeves.com/free-class to get The Class schedule, sign up, and/or pass it on to a friend.
