Time Zones

They are great to regulate time on planet Earth. But when you cross a few of them all at once, it can be hard on your system.

Some people find it easier going East, but most seem to find it easier going West.

Sometimes it’s just the circumstances you find yourself in. Work, packing, playing can all add to the challenges.

I’m feeling it at the moment. The gravitational pull of my bed is strong. Yet morning comes very early.

How do you deal with it?

Enjoy Right Now

Enjoy that you are alive to do this. Sometimes things are good and sometimes they are bad. But you are fortunate to be alive and doing any of it.

Others have died or were never born and can’t even have your bad times. Find something positive in what is happening now for you. Then smile for that element. At least you’ll get through things with a story from it. And it could possibly lead to something much better.

Enjoy right now. It’s all you have.

Speed Bumps

There will be plenty of these in your life. And not always when you think you can handle them. They will arrive when you may not be expecting them or think you have the capacity to deal with them.

But you will be fine. Keep pressing forward with a determined, wry smile on your face.

Get yourself ahead of the curve. Then when the curve comes, you can deal with it from a position of strength. Good luck!

After The Storm

I love the heat. And I love a little rain after the heat. Then the cooling breeze after that is just sensational. It’s a cool, fresh feeling and transports me to a Caribbean setting.

I love that pleasant moist breeze dancing through while it’s still so warm the windows are open and I’m in a short sleeved shirt and shorts. It’s a fabulous feeling.

I think of walking down La Quinta in Playa del Carmen or walking back along the beach. It’s a wonderful feeling and should be experienced as often as you can.

Find Someone Who Thinks The Opposite To You

If you’re agreeing with your news media’s angle all or most of the time, go find someone or a media that states the opposite. Yes, it will make you uncomfortable. But you’ll find out what nearly half the country think.

This will give you insight most others will never know. If you nod knowingly to your media all the time, it just means you enjoy your bias. That makes you half as wise as you could be.

Mark The Occassion

When you have something significant happen in your life, mark the occasion. This is why so many people have graduation ceremonies, birthday parties, anniversary events, awards ceremonies or simply raise a glass, give a card or reflect back for a moment – for two seconds or two minutes of silence.

When something is important in your life, give it a quick moment, or a full on event, to mark its significance in your mind.

Life moves quickly, so whenever you can, mark the occassion.

Tune Up

You need to keep things checked and working. Review how things are going. See if everything is going to plan. Make sure all the moving parts are working properly and the systems are in place and delivering.

Like an MOT for your car, or a tune up, or tuning an instrument, you really should check all is good and working every now and then.

Keeping Your Mind Relaxed

Here are a few ways:

  1. Focus on things you have control over
  2. Focus on making those things better each day
  3. Spend a few minutes each day with your mind in neutral or meditating
  4. Ensure your ER Gap is small or shrinking
