It’s easy to get distracted or to get off track. You need to commit like your life depends on it. Why? Because it does.

Guard Your Time
Your time is precious. It is finite. Focus on your days and hours so you use them to the fullest to extract maximum joy for you and those you serve.

Irrational Fears
Is being afraid of flying an irrational fear? It feels very real, and even terrifying, for some people. Even though statistically you have a greater chance of being injured or dying while on the ground, if you focus on that one crash you heard of, and assume you’ll suffer the same fate, you can work yourself up into a frenzy.
Alternatively, if you start to focus on the statistical probabilities of a successful flight, and visualise that success, even through some turbulence and some bumps on touchdown, you can overcome your mental fear.
Relaxing and deep breathing can help. Visualisation is great. Positive reinforcement is very helpful too. With time and effort you can train your mind to overcome anything.

Develop Good Habits
You may have to start with one. And get really good at it. Then move on to another and build that into your day. It can take some time. Stick with it. It will be worth it over the years.

Triangulate To The Truth
You need different perspectives to assess what could have happened. Why would a court call several witnesses to the stand? Because each one may have seen things slightly differently.
The totality of what they witnessed gives a much better picture than just the one observation point. Remember this the next time you go and judge someone based only on your views or that of only one other.

Discredit
The number one weapon of people with no viable argument is to discredit someone. They are unable to address the precise issue head on and stick to that. They aim to discredit the person to win the argument rather than use sound facts or relevant information. This is usually because they don’t have a strong, or any, case.
If this happens, remind the person to remain on topic. You can also remind them that you’d prefer that they not engage in personal attacks or make this personal. If they continue, discontinue the conversation as clearly they are less interested in discussing the point or feel they have lost the argument so they try to drag you down in some form.

Rebellion
Youthful exuberance is how it might be noted. Doing things one’s own way is a time tested desire. It can have some good outcomes from it and sometimes it goes too far and doesn’t work out for anyone.
Rebellions can be very good, depending on what the cause is.

Get Your Costs Down
If you would like more calm in your life, then get your costs down. Most of what you buy could be foregone or purchased with a cheaper alternative.
This goes for clothes especially but also works for food, travel and entertainment.

Laughter Is Great Medicine
I went to a Live at the Apollo comedy taping with a couple of friends last night. One had procured tickets. It was a fabulous night out. Great chat at the pub before, between sets and after the show. It was interspersed with 6 excellent comedians performing at a very high standard.
We laughed A LOT.
And it feels great to laugh so hard and so much.
Get thee to a comedy club, pronto!
