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…
Amazing days ahead. If you focus on amazing paths and outcomes, they can be yours.
Your life is like a book. It is filled with many chapters. Some have been written while others remain blank pages.
Although the blank pages may already have the destiny in place, it is not written such that you can read it in advance.
When a chapter is completed, take a moment to reflect on it. Appreciate the experience before moving on to the next chapter.
Though don’t dwell too long on what has come to pass. Life is short and you are best to continue your present into the future. After that brief reflection, begin immediately and dive in, just as you would start a new chapter of an exciting book.
Life is for living. Get going! Write your amazing life story.
Take time to reflect on conversations and situations. Really explore your participation and also other people’s input. Try to see how their perspective may have differed from yours.
There is a lot you can learn from a post-mortem. You won’t learn everything, but you can learn a significant amount which may change your feelings toward the person or the situation.
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.
Every 10 years, consider a one year sabbatical and/or your life with a clean slate.
This allows you to start fresh with no ties to the past. And the one year sabbatical can help you begin again.
In 100 years, this moment is unlikely to matter to anyone. Remember that.
Often we try to rush things faster than we should. If you are running late, you may try to drive faster to make up the time to your next appointment. Often that works, but sometimes you get a speeding ticket or have a minor accident.
You can’t rush cooking something. You wouldn’t be advised to cook chicken for half the time the packaging says. You may end up feeling unwell.
Sometimes we need to just let things play out. You may want to hurry it along, especially if waiting or the topic makes you uncomfortable. But it can be good to wait and see where things go naturally. You can develop patience, learn about human nature and hone your listening and observation skills as things play out.
The world has a rhythm. Let things play.
Sometimes our expectations of the perfect plan, hurried perfection or just urgency, just doesn’t play out.
You can get stressed about it. Or, you could train yourself for those situations and breathe through them. A few deep breaths and a reminder that this probably won’t be remembered 3 days from now, should do it.
Underrated concept. We don’t realise how much our brain needs water to function and stay cooled.
Be drinking more than you think you need.
