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.
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.
I met a couple of inspiring people today. Iain and Heidi are going to complete the Thames Path ultra challenge (50km) on Sunday.
Their story is one of adversity, courage, resilience, incredible determination and deep care.

Perhaps their story will move you to sponsor them: a small or large amount.
They are a lovely team and I wish them well from 06:30 today until after they finish and recuperate.
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.
Getting out of bed is risky. Walking down the road is risky. Jim Rohn taught us that this is a world with everyday risk. Working is risky but so is not working – just in a different way.
So pick what you want to do and pursue it. Make sure you mitigate all the risks that you can, right from the beginning. The more risks you can mitigate well, this will help you ensure the viability of any project, company or event.
Keep taking one step at a time. It may be your lowest point, your hardest moment, but don’t give up.
You’ve come too far to stop now. Dig down deep in your soul. Fight for survival. Know better days are ahead. Get knocked down and stand back up.
When your face is to the floor and you are bloodied and bruised, remember what you’re doing this for. Jump up and get back in the ring.
—- Guess who watched CREED tonight. One of Ryker’s favourites.
Hear it or see it, but definitely soak in it. Do not take it for granted or brush over it. Really take that news in and feel it in your bones.
Doing this will lift your spirits and heal your inner wounds and your physical being. The power of positive thinking and feeling the goodness of life is very powerful if you let it sink into your soul.
Cuddle your wife or husband.
Cuddle up on the sofa to watch a movie.
Cuddle up in bed. Or snuggle up. Your choice.
It’s warm, loving and relaxing. It soothes the soul.
