Experiencing fall time at King Hussein Public Park was 
the highlight of my weekend. 
I went twice!
 
Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark ⚡️ a newsletter listing 5 inspiring things I thought were worth starting your week with: 
 
 
1. 📚 Are you an overthinker? The eBook version of the book 
Soundtracks: The surprising Solution to Overthinking by Jon Acuff, is on sale for just 4.99$ until November 30. I highly recommend the audio version too. I am so grateful for what I have been learning from Jon.
 

 
2. 👀 According to Stanford neurobiologist Andrew Huberman, vision and breathing may be the secrets to reducing stress instantly. Since I shared about the physiological sigh in the Sunday Spark three weeks ago, I have been delving into the work of Andre Huberman; you will see his name more frequently around here.
 

 
3. 💡Try Feedforward instead of Feedback. I admire this tool created by the author and executive coach Marshall Goldsmith, and I am thinking about using it in my future coaching groups.
 

 
4. ⛔ Use restraint to stay focused. This beautiful post resonates with my aim of narrowing my focus versus my tendency to spread it thin. It's not easy, but it is meaningful.
 

 
5. 💬 A quote that highlights the importance of taking pauses to free up your mind:
 
 
“When your mind is preoccupied, your impulses—not your long-term goals—will guide your choices."
― Kelly McGonigal Ph.D., The Willpower Instinct
 
(Resurfaced through Readwise)

 
P.S. 📣 You've been waiting and it's almost here! Keep your eye on your email this week as I am about to launch the brand new 2023 Goal-Setting workshop; registration opens soon!
 
See you later 😊 First name / my dear friend
