Be brave and learn about yourself. What makes you tick and what do you avoid and why? If something impacts you, figure out why. Ask yourself questions. Push your own buttons. It’s not easy but you’ll be a better person for it.

Squeezing It All In
There are days you can’t even imagine how you got through them. Stress, time, challenge and conflicts all play their part. Some days you have little choice but to squeeze it all in.
When It Rains, It Pours.
Oh boy. It can feel quite crazy at times. The feeling of non-stop issues, or maybe never stop issues, can really challenge your energy.
The sun will shine again. You will be on top again. And this feeling of being spun like clothes in the washing machine may just disappear for awhile. Be resilient. It won’t pour forever.
Declutter Your Digital Life
I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of tabs open, unread emails, text messages requiring my attention and WhatsApp groups that I’ve not been active in for a year.
Between now and the end of August, I’m going to tidy this all up again. Unsubscribe to emails, leave WhatsApp groups, delete emails, and close all tabs in safari and chrome. Spare time will be spent pruning.
Decide To Change And Stop Wavering
To change something, you really need to commit. This needs to be a commitment that you really mean and intend to follow through on. One where you’ll accept anyone’s help to reach your goal.
You must set out a written plan, set up your environment to win, and track your key progress items every day. If these three things aren’t done, you’ll know the level of commitment you’re working at.
Find Your Friends
Friends can be like a comfy pair of jeans you never want to throw away, or like socks that get worn out, or even like a fine wine improving with age.
Find your friends and enjoy them in that moment.
The Cold Shoulder
If you ignore, snub or shun someone, you could be giving them the cold shoulder. It is a passive-aggressive behaviour designed to hurt the other person. Usually it is better to have a calm conversation about the underlying issue.
Life Is Dynamic
New experiences, perspectives and timing can shift people’s philosophy and world outlook. Life is dynamic and therefore you can hold one thought on Tuesday and a polar opposite view as well, later in the week. It’s natural and should be allowed graciously.
Shifting Views
What does it take to shift a person’s view on a subject? Is it just one item, thought or moment? Or is it the constant review of the idea and it’s consideration, that, over time, adjusts and shifts?
Discover Your Finances
Have a real good look at them. Are you spending well? Do you get great joy from what you purchase? Is there anything you are buying that is unnecessary?
