Tell someone today that they are smart, fun, kind or hard working. You can say other kind things too.
Just make sure you tell at least one person today to help lift their spirits. Most people will say they are fine even when their whole world is turning on its head. Give them some specific compliment that they can hold onto all day. Sometimes that is all a person has to survive on.
Life can seem to drag on during difficult or boring moments and yet speed passed the rest of the time.
Pay attention, because life goes quick. If you think about something too long, the opportunity can just disappear. Develop the skill of assessing and acting quickly.
You can do this on a daily basis when ordering food or a drink. When deciding to attend an event or not, you can get more practice in.
If you want to max everything out in life, then learn, develop, and master the skill of decision velocity.
Go to a club together, the Apollo, Comedy Store or Yuk Yuks. Wherever you go, enjoy it and laugh!
It’s a great way to decompress and enjoy life a little.
There is a lot of power in commitment. When you commit to something, you’re saying it will happen, and your focus to see it through is 100%.
There is no turning around or going back. You’ve burned the boats and the only way to go is forward.
When you commit, it sends a signal to your mind that there is a single outcome you wish to achieve. Want to feel the power? Commit to something today and see how you feel.
Think of a trigger moment in life that always makes you smile. A situation or a photo often works best. Think of it and make yourself smile. Make a full, almost giddy, smile and enjoy the feeling.
When you feel an emotion coming up in your body, hold it for a minute. Feel it and understand where it came from. Good ones, and the others, they all need a little reflection.
You can learn a lot from this process. I like to say, ‘From Uncomfortable to Unstoppable’ and doing this exercise will sometimes make you quite uncomfortable. But that is ok. It is worth it. This self-knowledge will make you unstoppable.
Every day you should be celebrating something. That gives you 365 opportunities to celebrate. It can be something incredible like you and your teammates winning the World Cup or it can be something a little more run-of-the-mill, such as being given an extra cookie with your morning coffee.
Remember to develop the skill of celebrating. It is very important to remember to celebrate as often as you can.
What is it you need to recognise, own and address in your life so that you can grow and become more capable and successful?
You need to overcome your demons. Think about what they are and how they limit you. Then consider what can be done about them. After that, you’ll need a plan to address them and conquer them.
Whether you have a great relationship or not, keep working it. Put the time in and you may be surprised where you get to.
Sit down or go for a walk but talk things through. Do it calmly and respectfully. It can be good to have the person that is speaking hold a small ball or pen and pass it to the other person when they would like to talk.
Have a clear purpose or outcome in mind and stay focused on it. Write down the final result and also note when your next discussion is and, if you can, what you’ll be discussing so you can both think about it in advance.
