Get away. Detox from data and technology. Touch some grass. Shut yourself away from the world for 24 hours. Feel what it’s like to appreciate life’s simplicity again.

Appreciate What You Have
Your worst day is likely to be a dream day for millions of people, or more.
If you have health, others may not. You may have access to healthcare, where others don’t. Imagine that!
Having kids or your parents nearby, or a phone call away, is a treasure.
Having passive income or a job is also a dream for many people. As is having a warm house to live in or a hot shower every day.
Having enough food to eat each day is also a blessing.
We often compare up and notice what we don’t have or would like to have. Take a few minutes today to compare your life with those less fortunate and appreciate all that we have that most of the world might like.
Appreciate your pretty good health, free healthcare, warm dinners, hot showers, family, friends, income, savings, etc. Appreciate it all.
Great 20 second reel below illustrates this well.

Move Things Forward Each Day
You can’t change everything all at once. The best you can do is to make progress in your key initiatives every day.

Find The Positive
In all things, find the positive. The silver lining is there, you just need to look a little more. See things differently than you want to see them. Assess them with possibility.

Great Movies Are Worth Watching
Get a list of them and start watching one per week. Don’t watch drivel. Watch classics and very highly reviewed and rated ones. Life’s too short for drivel.

What Brings You Calm?
Is there a place, smell, person, situation, level of savings or expertise or a holiday destination that brings you calm? Get a sense of what that is and make note of it. Be clear about it so you can get yourself into that calm state whenever you want to. Make it habit.
Even if it is not somewhere or something close by, you can take a photo of it and look at that photo. You’ll be able to replicate the effect to some degree and that will get stronger with practice and repetition.

Take Responsibility
Learn to take responsibility for your thoughts, actions and mistakes, your team, your family and your life in general.
Be the person that says I did it despite the issue. Or say I tried. Just don’t say they stopped you or blame others.

Get Help!
When the sh*t is about to hit the fan, and preferably well before, get some help. Help will come in a myriad of ways, when you start seeking it. Seek and you shall find.
Even if you’re uncomfortable, go find it. You will then shift from Uncomfortable to Unstoppable.
