It's Okay to Say You're Overwhelmed 3. Acknowledge Joy 4. Turn to Music When in Doubt Take a read and see how these have helped on my unconventional journey and the lessons that brought me here.

Loved it Alex . ❤️ . as you asked what other practices .. one thing to try is meditation.. it helps improve awareness, and achieve a mentally clear, emotionally calm and stable state.

This is one of the most beautiful post I’ve seen on LinkedIn Alex Head so many family and friends have gone through this same thing and finding inspiration in others battles show us that this is not the end but at times a new beginning. Love this 🙌.

7moAlex, I have always been inspired by your leadership and passion. Kudos on continuing to help AWS customers with Cloud Optimization Strategies and Best Practices. I remember how customer executives appreciate your team's commitment to 'deliver value' and 'customer obsession'. Thank you for inviting me to join the conversation and share our experiences and insights. Here are my top 5: 1/ Know your 'why' and what makes you happy. Happiness is a state of mind. 2/ Never pass up an opportunity to speak in front of an audience. 3/ Your attention determines the experiences you have, and the experiences you have shape the life you live. 4/ Meditate: Learn to focus on one thing at a time. 5/ There are four types of wealth: Money, Status & Goodwill, Experience & Freedom, and Health. Be mindful of what you are accumulating and what you are letting go.
