Break the bias’, the theme of this year’s International Women’s Day, is more than a call to action for moving the needle on gender equality — it is a message that puts the spotlight on understanding what gets in the way.

When our society was suddenly forced into extended periods of distancing, isolation and quarantine, it forced us as a whole to turn inward and reflect on ourselves, our individual values and how these factors could help improve our social circumstances. This is the philosophy at the foundation of conscious economics — the view of what a human economy would be if it were based on self-reflection and realization, rather than self-assertion.

Every single one of us has the potential within us to become a better version of ourselves to help elevate self and the people around us, but the difference between those who hit the mark and those who don’t, is the effort required to fully understand and acquire the knowledge, action the resources, and be accountable to the intended outcome.

Interrupt your pattern. For the longest time, I struggled in the afternoons to stay inspired and excited about my day. This is when I began recognizing that leaving time for pattern interrupts throughout my day began to re-ignite my appreciation for life. I encourage you to do something out of the blue: take a drive or walk down a country road, get a spontaneous massage, or shut it down and go to the golf course. It’s often the pattern interrupts that reignite inspiration and gratitude for life in us.
