There is often someone on our mind at any given time. This could be a special someone, an ex, your spouse, your kid or parent or an old friend.
There are dozens of reasons why they could be on your mind as well. Some examples are that you’ve not spoken for awhile, something reminded you of them, there is a longing for them or they’ve done something special.
Reflect on this today. Catch yourself and notice when you’re thinking of someone else and why. There could be a pattern developing…
While winter can be tough to get through, it doesn’t last forever. Stay resilient, envision a better future and try to enjoy a little while you’re going through it.
There are moments in life that you just need to go for it. And enjoy.
Have the nachos.
Enjoy it!
Hold on tight to your tiny wins. They keep you smiling, positive and ready to receive more.
A young lady gave me a little more scoop of ice cream than probably she was meant to. There was a clear difference to other cones I’d seen. She had the biggest smile. I thanked her and we shared that fun smile. It was kindness in action.
It was a tiny win for both of us and we knew it. In fact, here I am a week later writing about it.
Some things I initially thought were negative this week, have been reframed as tiny wins. And my life is magnitudes better off from them.
Whether you are a young person looking for a job and get your 20th rejection, or an older person finding out their job is no longer there, when life delivers lemons, squeeze harder and make some delicious lemonade!
Demonstrate your resilience, creativity, mindset shift and positive outlook by shaking off what was delivered and refocusing on the amazing opportunities ahead.
Not everything will work out as planned, but having that positive outlook will help get you there, and will soften the blow if you don’t.
Doing things with a friend or family member can add so much more to an experience.
Watching significant matches, snowboarding, skating, going on holidays or even having a meal, can be more rewarding when doing it with a favourite person.
It’s usually more enjoyable and you have a shared memory of the event.
Whenever you can, enjoy together!
No matter what, keep your chin up.
Build people up. Be kind. Take great care of your health and body – it’s the Only body you get in this life.
Think. Think critically. Protect your mind and soul from negative thoughts. Be optimistic. Smile – a lot. Have fun and be playful.
Take the high road.
Think of 10 people that you’ve ever heard of that are great role models. Write down the characteristics they have that make them great role models. Now excel in developing those characteristics through to excellence.
While on a bus today, a young man, maybe 19, wanted to get on, but either had no money or his card wasn’t working.
I have a son about his age and I’ve been without cash at times, so I could feel his frustration. So I walked to the front of the bus to pay for him; pay it forward. The driver said we were not travelling together so I couldn’t pay for him.
I thought it was a very strange rule. The young man thanked me for the attempt and got off the bus.
What a bizarre idea that I couldn’t help a young man in a challenging moment. What happened to kindness?!
