If you think your way is the right way and only way, you may have some more to learn. You may still be right, but knowing it is the challenge. The certainty of knowing something, may be misplaced, given all that we don’t know.
Category: Reframe your thoughts
Put The Effort In
You must always do your best. Put in extra effort to all things. You never know who is watching and what might come of your efforts.
And you’ll build confidence and self-esteem too.
Set Boundaries
There are some no-go boundaries for some people and some boundaries that can be crossed occasionally. Know what yours are and know the difference between them.
These boundaries will save you from painful regrets and keep you in line with your values.
Aim For 30 Minutes Early
Don’t just aim to be there on time or a few minutes early. Aim for significant headroom, especially if it’s important to you.
Nice To See Friends
It is always nice to see friends. Enjoy the moments.
Praying For Good
Praying and hoping good things happen to or for someone are quite similar things. More religious-oriented people may say praying. For people who find that word more challenging, they may say hoping. Either way, you are giving your healing thought energy to someone.
Things Change
Some change is wonderful or exciting. Other change is dreadful or painful. Change will continue to be there regardless of how we see it.
Change just is. We give the change its meaning. We can also adjust what meaning we give to the change. Do try to make it more positive. It can be very hard. But if you do this, it can have a positive impact. It will take time and repeated effort and brain training. It will be worth it though.
Take Time To Look Around
Look around your home, office, local area and even new places too. Be curious. See everything with new eyes and possibilities.
You may have kept things a certain way for years but your tastes may have changed or your interests are different. Look around and see every single item and decide if it still brings you pure joy or if it is practical in a required way.
If not, it is time to remove that item and give it to charity, sell it or bin it.
Spring cleaning is what some people call it at this time of year. Regardless of the name, take action!
Reading And Thinking
Do you read something and assume it’s all true or do you mull it over? Think things through from both sides, even if it makes you uncomfortable to consider opposing or alternative thoughts.
We may not always like the truth but the truth will set you free.
Seek Common Ground
This is usually the best course of action. Anyone not able or willing to look for common ground together is usually unworthy of having a discussion with.
Most topics require precision of detail to get to any true understanding. People not willing to take the time to explore in greater depths, by employing sweeping generalisations with little or no data, should be avoided. They demonstrate little desire to think beyond their cerebral island or one track mindset.
