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.
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.
Think about how you spend your time. It is all you have. Every second that ticks by and every accumulated minute. Moments you can’t have again. Use them wisely. Every. Single. One.
Doing things with a friend or family member can add so much more to an experience.
Watching significant matches, snowboarding, skating, going on holidays or even having a meal, can be more rewarding when doing it with a favourite person.
It’s usually more enjoyable and you have a shared memory of the event.
Whenever you can, enjoy together!
Many things require patience in life. Waiting on news from someone about to give birth or of someone unwell. Waiting for a wound or injury to heal is a common period that requires patience.
Patience while driving, skiing, shopping and banking are all good examples.
Be more patient and see how your days improve.
The rest will follow.
You can try to manage your timing, but most of the time things happen when they do.
But sometimes you can align things to your favour and, in those moments, it might be a good idea.
Some of you will know the song I am referring to. It’s a great one. It brings back many fond memories. Kool and The Gang could get the party started.
That’s what you need to do when you aren’t feeling full on ready to pounce. You need to recall, or listen to, a song like this to get you in the mood. This song works well. So does Thunderstruck. Or Eye of the Tiger.
Whatever triggers a positive vibe to get you working on what you need to do, with a smile, and ferocious intent.
Make it so.
