They are so calming. Use them before sleep. Take them several times in the day. They are a refresher.

In 5 Years
You’ll either be dead or 5 years older. Let’s hope you’re just older.
What wonderful things will you have done in that time? Don’t know? Well you better start planning some then. Or you’ll just get whatever you get.
Go Have Fun
Book something fun into your life. A walk. A coffee with friends. You could even plan a short trip somewhere.
Life’s short. Enjoy it today.
Focus On You
If you focus on you and make your life the best it can possibly be (health, fitness, wealth, relationships and spiritual elements), you will be independent and happy. No one will need to come and save you.
But if you focus on others, and let your elements drift and become burdensome, then you’re going to need help from others. You don’t need to do that.
So focus on making your life better every day.
Develop A Sense Of Awe
That you were born is rather incredible. If all your body parts are working, some with no effort from you, it’s nearly a miracle.
That Earth is spinning out in space and we don’t fly off.
The mind – how does that work?! Where do thoughts come from?
Sleep Early, Rise Early.
Get good rest and get a jump on the day. If you wake early, just get up and get going.
Two things will happen. First you’ll get more jammed into one of your life days. Secondly, you will feel tired earlier in the evening which will help you sleep earlier so you can rise earlier.
That’s how you get a virtuous cycle.
Remember To Stop
Too often things get taken too far. You can see this in so many different circumstances.
Often it is far better to enjoy the win and be content, then to seek more than you had originally wanted.
Here are some examples:
Having a few more snacks or cakes than you should. Eventually you’ve put on 3 stone.
Having a few too many drinks and waking up half way through the next day with a cracking hangover.
Putting a few little things on a credit card knowing you can’t pay off the balance. Then a few more. Soon you’re paying £1,000s in interest, yet lost interest in whatever you’re paying for.
Getting a club together to defend yourselves, like NATO, can sound like a good idea. Then after feeling quite secure, you keep adding more and more members. You feel more secure and confident but others may become more concerned and defensive.
There are many, many other examples from women’s rights (is equal enough?), unions (group v individual) and tech (how far is too far, like kissing a robot?), to buying shoes (Ms Marcos), and political coverups (it always starts small and then like a black hole, begins to engulf everything).
The key is to moderate and balance while checking the details frequently so matters don’t get out of control.
Review frequently and track progress. Don’t push things too far or you can do some damage (Like running further than you should). There is always pain after things are pushed too far. Better to stop things a little earlier than build up to a devastating situation.
Prepare. Prepare. Prepare.
Prepare well in advance. Prepare with contingency plans. Allow 3 times more time than you think you’ll need.
A prepared general wins battles and wars. A prepared team wins championships. Be so prepared that by taking action on your plan it practically guarantees victory.
Eat Healthy Food
But not too much.
Only when you are actually hungry. Like when you feel it in your rumbly tummy.
Work To Precision
Don’t Generalise. Get precise and expect others to do the same. Get specific on dates and times and lengths, processes and outcomes.
If you work with general, you’re likely to get average results at best. The more precision you have, the more success you will have too.
You want precision in warfare, surgery, finances and legal matters, to name just a few.
Would you accept a paycheck “sometime during the month for a few thousand”? Or would you want to know which specific date in the month that your agreed $4,897,89 was going to arrive in your account?
