Tuesdays with Matt - Make a Date

For the month of June, Tuesdays with Matt will focus on reigniting the spark in our relationship with our partner.

Back in the good old days, you and your partner were actually able to set time aside to work on what was most important to you: your relationship with your partner. Nowadays, does it feel like all kinds of things get in the way of doing that? Things like your job, your kids, your phone, maybe even Facebook? In this video Matt Townsend, Relationship Coach and Communication Expert, gives you the skills you need to begin Reigniting the Spark in your relationship.

Tuesdays with Matt - Being Present

Today's tip from Matt hits close to home.  I struggle with this constantly: being present.  I get so distracted by what's coming next or what I have to do tomorrow that I often forget to enjoy and savor today.
That's one of the reasons that I LOVE Fat Mum Slim's Photo-a-Day Challenge - it helps me to STOP every day at least for a moment and think about my surroundings and just everyday stuff.It's easy to remember to photograph a child's birthday party or a special occasion, but taking pictures of everyday things like the grass outside or something you wore today is not usually what we think of when we photograph.  Capturing everyday moments and subjects is such a fun, creative outlet for me.  And it helps me to be present.
Check out Matt's video for his suggestions on how to live in the now:

While attending the Snap Conference last month I had the distinct pleasure of listening to Matt Townsend speak.
Matt is a communication and relationship expert who "has been energizing and involving audiences with his unique approach to building and maintaining successful personal and business relationships" for over 18 years (source).
Matt has wonderful advice and tips on communication, relationships, parenting, and life in general and he delivers this advice in a fun, engaging, and often funny, way.
I was not the only gal at that Snap Conference speech who was laughing so hard that I was crying.  Yeah, he's that fun!
Matt has experience speaking and training hundreds of Fortune 500 companies such as CNN, Cox Communications, and Lockheed Martin. Other past clients include: AT&T, American Express, Dupont, General Mills, Hewlett Packard, Honda, IBM, Nike, and the US Army, and the US Navy.  Pretty darn cool list of references, I'd say.
Matt is also the host of a local radio broadcast (The Matt Townsend Show heard on Saturday mornings at 11:00 on KSL News Radio 102.7 FM/1160 AM.)  and a frequent contributor to KSL TV’s Studio 5.
And now, Matt will be a regular contributor to Hello, New Day!
Each Tuesday, I'll be sharing a bit of Matt's expertise right here.  If you'd like to see more of Matt than what I share here, you can find him at The Townsend Relationship Center.
And now, without further adieu, our first edition of Tuesdays with Matt!
