Get That “Yes, Yes” Flowing One of the simplest, most effective ways to influence someone is to begin by focusing on areas of agreement. Start your conversation where you both see eye to eye—on facts, values, or shared goals. When the other person starts nodding and saying “yes,” they’re not just agreeing with you—they’re building momentum in their own mind toward cooperation. As Dale Carnegie said, “When a person says ‘no,’ all their pride demands that they remain consistent with themselves.” But when they say “yes,” they’re setting a positive pattern—one that leads to harmony, not resistance. So next time you want to persuade, don’t dive into conflict. Begin in agreement. Get them saying “yes, yes” from the very start.

Understanding Your Circadian Rhythm and Jet Lag Your circadian rhythm is your body’s internal clock, guiding your sleep-wake cycle, energy levels, and even digestion. When you travel across time zones, this rhythm gets thrown off, causing jet lag—fatigue, trouble sleeping, and feeling “off.” The key to adjusting? Take it slow. Your body typically adjusts by only about one hour per day, so if you jump ahead or fall behind several time zones, give yourself time to acclimate. Light exposure in the morning or evening (depending on the direction you're traveling), staying hydrated, and sticking to local meal times can help reset your rhythm gradually and reduce jet lag symptoms. #WhyWeSleep
