Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark ⚡️ a newsletter listing 5 inspiring things I thought were worth starting your week with: 
 
 
  1. 🤔What is your conflict habit? I am reading a book called Optimal Outcomes, and it is helping me understand how I handle conflicts, the author created a short, free quiz to identify your primary conflict habit. Hit reply and share your result, and I will tell you mine!
  2. ✍ It's journaling time; check Five Questions to Reflect on Your Summer.
  3. 🕵️‍♀️I shared this on my Instagram story lately, and it resonated: Clues that you might not be trying hard enough. Seth Godin is the best to catch you when you are hiding from doing your best work.
  4. 🙅How to Make a To-Don't List, I loved the (let go) examples in this article.
  5. 💬A quote about the beauty of quotes that reminded me of my Tumblr blog for quotes only and those I used to post on my office whiteboard:
I think of quotes as mini–instruction manuals for the soul. It’s my appreciation of their very usefulness that compelled me to put together this book. Not because I believe in my own sagacity, but because I believe in the power of words to help us reset our intentions, clarify our thoughts, and create a counternarrative to the voice of doubt many of us have murmuring in our heads—the one that says You can’t, you won’t, you shouldn’t have. Quotes, at their core, almost always shout Yes!"
―Cheryl Strayed, Brave Enough
