"Identify & Reset Unhealthy Default Settings” with Penn Vieau, Professional Speaker & Coach
It is easy to overemphasize the negative and dismiss the positive things in our lives. Penn Vieau, professional speaker and coach, and Karen Endres from the Wisconsin Farm Center share how these unhealthy default settings can cause stress, fatigue, resentment, and get us off track. In this podcast, they share how and why our minds come pre-wired to focus on the negative and how identifying the positive, establishing a personal board of directors, and planning your priorities can help you overcome the negatives and maintain better focus on your farm and personal priorities.
