A great British saying. If we can remember this at times of challenge, we will win the day.

Model Desired Behaviour
Whether it is with your employees, teammates, children or community at large, model the behaviour you desire to see from them. Be honest with yourself whether you are really modelling the desired behaviour all the time, or just when you feel like it.
Let People Be Responsible
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.
Book Time For Walks
Walks are great. They are very good for your overall well-being, both mental and physical. It’s a good time to clear your head, have new thoughts, see new things, listen to books or podcasts or chat with a friend, in person or on the phone. Make walking time a daily priority. You’ll thank me later.
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.
Hard Times
We rarely feel good going through them but we feel stronger after. That sense of reassurance, resilience and confidence to overcome tough obstacles feels great once you make it through. Focus on that light at the end of the tunnel. Faith and hope will get you through.
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.
