Let Them Know They Matter

Of course, people matter. But do they know that?

Whether it's your partner, boss, friends, colleagues or acquaintances, put extra effort into letting them know they matter. Why? Because it makes a difference and it matters, to them and to you.

It doesn't need to be long and drawn out, it could simply be a 'Thank you, I really appreciate that' or 'Thank you, that was really thoughtful.'

Air Purifier for a Stuffy Mind

All the unnecessary, repetitive thoughts that linger around in our minds create a stuffy atmosphere and affect how we feel.

Next time your mind feels stuffy, filter out any negativity or unwanted thoughts. Remove all the contaminants from your mind, just like an air purifier.

Now you can think fresh thoughts, feel good and breathe easy!

Not Another Meeting!

Do you find some meetings a waste of time? We do need to work together & make decisions, share information & generate ideas. So how will you make meetings more effective?

Hold a walking meeting, if you can, or a stand up meeting to keep it short. Alternatively, try a different environment to make things creative. Stick to agreed start & end times, & by the end of the meeting identify clearly who will do what, by when.

Go from "Not another meeting!" to "That was a good meeting."

Shhh, Listen!

Often when our minds are quiet, we can hear our inner voice, the wisdom that we carry at the core of our being.

All we need to do is recognize, value and learn from our inner tutor. Imagine the cost effectiveness and convenience of having a tutor available 24/7.

So go on 'listen in' to receive some in-tuition.

Life is a Struggle?

If we find life a struggle we'll always be struggling with everything & everyone. This constant struggle will just wear us down.

Today, stop struggling. Even if life isn't easy, release any resistance & feel lighter within yourself. Be at ease & make life a breeze.

Peace Dove

The peace dove doesn't convey the message through words or actions; otherwise the olive branch that it carries would fall from its beak. The peace dove uses its wings to fly high above the Earth. From this vantage point, boundaries and differences don't really exist. Respect for all life is the message of peace. Today, be a peace dove, a messenger of peace.

Make Your Own Saying

Do you have a wise saying? Your unique perspective on life that you can share with the world? Today, make time to compose your own wise saying. Reflect on the greater significance of incidents and events in your life and distil your experiences, realisations and life lessons into words of wisdom.

Excuses or Results

"Yes, but..." "Not now, I haven't got time." "If only..."
"It's not my fault." What's your excuse?

If your excuses are not acceptable or valid, then it's time to set your excuses free. Why? Well, excuses take away your power to create results.

Don't give yourself excuses, give yourself results. How?
1) Rise above your excuses. 2) Think about what you want and why. 3) Work towards creating results.

To Pity or Not to Pity

When someone's going through a tough time, is your emotional response pity? Most of us don't like to be pitied because even if it's well intentioned, it comes across as condescending and demeaning. None of us want to make others feel that way.

So the next time you start to feel pity, stop and let compassion, respect and dignity come through in your attitude.

Remind yourself: I've gone through my trials and tribulations, and I've grown and strengthened. Now it's my opportunity to support and be there for another.

Unplug and Unwind

TVs, computers, mobile phones, tablets.... can be tiring for our eyes & head. How about taking short breaks from technology!

Try: no phones for 15 minutes during your lunch break,
no screens 30 minutes before going to bed, nothing for 3 hours at the weekends.

Decide: what you want to unplug from, when & for how long, & what you will do to unwind. Just make it realistic & refreshing.

Easy Self Acceptance

For most of us, self acceptance isn't as easy as it could be! If you feel that you're not good enough, realize: you are enough. If you rate yourself against others, realise: there's no one else in the world quite like you.

Believe in your worth & uniqueness, & accept the whole package, flaws & all. Have self acceptance & you put yourself in a better position to improve yourself & the quality of your life.

Constant Change

Everything around you is constantly changing.

No matter how you react or feel, change happens anyway. So you might as well embrace the change.

Choose to adapt and change your approach, and not only will you feel more in control but you will also relax and enjoy the process!

Me to We

Turn "me" upside down, and you go from ‘What’s in it for me?’ to embracing a broader perspective of “we." When you focus less on ‘me’, and more on ‘we’, you're able to collaborate and engage with others to accomplish something altogether better. As a result you leverage both your personal talents and relationships to a greater success.

Want More

We have more! We want more! We get more! Like seawater; the more we drink, the thirstier we become! So, if you don't have the resources to get more, why not make the most of what you already have!

Blind Spots

All of us have blind spots - attitudes and behaviors that hinder our potential. So make it a habit to check for your blind spots.

Sometimes these blind spots are more visible to others. So if you can't spot them, you could ask someone you trust to give you honest feedback.

Uncover your blind spots and transform them into your personal strengths!
