Rather than tell people, sometimes it’s better to ask them. Let them be the person having to come up with a good answer. Often you’ll be surprised at how they rise to the occasion.

Enjoy This Moment
No matter how good or tough, enjoy this moment, right here, right now. Savour the next one minute. See how many wonderful things go through your mind in 60 seconds. Go.
What’s Real?
There was an ad in the 80’s that we used to quote often and the key line was, “Is it real or is it Memorex?”. It was promoting the incredible sound recording on a cassette tape. With AI improving day by day, we may start saying something similar. Don’t get fooled.
What Motivates You?
Would you rush into a burning building to save a child? If so, why? Honestly. Would you lend a friend £1,000? Is it your risk tolerance at play here? Or perhaps you’re a giving, charitable or empathetic person?
What motivates people fascinates me.
Explore Your Mind
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.
Know Your Issues
We all have issues. Get to know yours. Take the time and be patient. Learn about yourself. It might be quite uncomfortable and you may not like what you learn. But you will be a better person for it.
You’re Worth It
This is very important to remind yourself of daily. It will also help you live up to a higher standard. By using the powerful “I am” statements, such as “I am worth it and I am deserving of wealth and abundance”, your confidence and coincidences will grow. Try it daily for 30 consecutive days.
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.
Where Did You Learn Your Thoughts?
You have thoughts about right and wrong, philosophy, religion and politics. Where did you learn those from? Did you ever consider different or opposing views? Did you ever challenge your thoughts robustly or have you simply accepted the first ideas that got into your mind?
