When tough times come, and they will, you will gain a whole new perspective on life. Certain things you thought before, will shift. You can’t always accurately predict how it will affect you, but it will. It’s called growth. Enjoy.

Hold The Emotion
When you feel an emotion coming up in your body, hold it for a minute. Feel it and understand where it came from. Good ones, and the others, they all need a little reflection.
You can learn a lot from this process. I like to say, ‘From Uncomfortable to Unstoppable’ and doing this exercise will sometimes make you quite uncomfortable. But that is ok. It is worth it. This self-knowledge will make you unstoppable.

Talk Things Through
Sit down or go for a walk but talk things through. Do it calmly and respectfully. It can be good to have the person that is speaking hold a small ball or pen and pass it to the other person when they would like to talk.
Have a clear purpose or outcome in mind and stay focused on it. Write down the final result and also note when your next discussion is and, if you can, what you’ll be discussing so you can both think about it in advance.

Imagine Amazing!
When you imagine your future, whether career, sports, marriage, house, retirement or anything else, why not start with amazing?!
Why start with just a little bit better than right now? When you can dream, dream big! So when you dream about your life, dream as massively big as you can imagine!
Then work back a little and create the plan you’ll need to achieve this amazing. Then, immediately, start working a few minutes, hours, days, and weeks on those plans until you achieve amazing!

Speed Of Delivery
Writing is great for focus and detail and having a permanent record.
However, speaking in person is so much quicker.

Making Sense
With enough information, everything makes sense.
If something doesn’t make sense in your head, you don’t have enough information. Go find it, observe or sit and wait for it. Once you have enough information, you’ll be amazed.
A 56 year old has experienced 1,761,177,600 seconds of life and experience. Some of those will have been joyous while others physically painful or emotionally crushing. Still, many others were quite normal and some were mesmerising or soul-soothing.
All of those seconds and experiences create the person at that moment. One second earlier or later and they are different again. Just like the world around us; constantly evolving.
To know someone’s full life experience would take exactly all their seconds of life. Less than that and you may only be seeing the highlights or lowlights.

Cuddle
Cuddle your wife or husband.
Cuddle up on the sofa to watch a movie.
Cuddle up in bed. Or snuggle up. Your choice.
It’s warm, loving and relaxing. It soothes the soul.

One; Can Change Your Life
One thought, one word or one action can change your life forever. One person, one child, or one hug can begin a whole new path.
One kind moment, one promotion or one car journey can change your world.
One great summer, one kindred spirit or one peaceful, reflective moment can rearrange your thoughts.
The power of one is significant.
Be kind. Be hopeful. Forgive. Go with grace.

Keep An Open Mind
Thoughts change as well as circumstances and perspectives. So keep an open mind while you’re assessing your options.
Sometimes it’s helpful to remain open minded even after decisions have been made. That’s why there’s a 14 day cooling off period after product purchases in the UK. People get more information or simply change their minds.
