Flirt With Your Partner

Posted on June 10, 2022

After the initial mating rituals, this skill can get rusty. These can be simple gestures like a look, a smile, a tilt of the head, the raise of an eyebrow or a compliment even. These all add mental pleasure to a relationship. It is fun to give and receive and uplifting too!

Keep your relationship fresh and your spirit young. Flirt daily with your partner. And if you’re both a little rusty, have fun re-developing your skills. As you get older, these simple things are one of the few things you’ll be able to easily do and still get great joy from it. Start retraining today.

Confidence

Posted on June 5, 2022

Remarkably, growing in confidence can be quick. Stand up straight, shoulders back, say, “I am enough”, and decide to be incredible or unstoppable.

Or you can build your confidence the old fashioned way by developing skills, building a list of achievements and improving all areas of your life. It helps to notice all these things and appreciate them.

Of course you could do a little of the quick version while working on the classic version. Either way, get growing your confidence!

Build Toward Great

Posted on May 30, 2022

What if politicians outlined their common goals, and their differences on key issues, and then worked toward those common goals while being mindful of their differences?

Imagine how much progress could be made! Especially if people didn’t mind whose name was on the statute, or statue.

If people just tried to improve the most lives in the best ways, we could leapfrog a lot of wasted time.

Who might be up for that?

Quick To Judge

Posted on May 27, 2022

Why are people so quick to judge? It feels like a natural tendency. But haven’t we learned to either not pay attention or wait a year for all the evidence to come?

What is the point of coming to some conclusion after only some evidence is in?

Let the people do their work. Let the reports come out. Let the courts decide.

From Uncomfortable to Unstoppable!

Posted on May 24, 2022

Tuesday I went into the studio to record my audiobook with the lovely Zoe, founder of Creative Audiobooks.

She was great and very accommodating. Although doing something for the first time (i.e. recording an audiobook) feels a bit uncomfortable, Zoe was a real pro and made it easy to settle in.

After we adjusted the kit and space to my preferences, we were under way. With Zoe’s patience and easy working style, I settled in and got more comfortable by the minute. In no time at all we we’re working well together and getting the work done at a good pace.

By the end of the day, I didn’t want to stop. I was, er, unstoppable ?.

I was there for almost 8 hours. I kept trying and improving. It’s the same for anything. Get started. Push through the discomfort. Keep going. Improve. Gather momentum. Become Unstoppable.

It’s the way we really achieve anything!

Call Someone

Posted on May 21, 2022

Have a great conversation today. Call your Dad, Mom, sister, brother, best friend, old friend or other relatives.

Have a laugh or a cry. Mend a fence or build a bridge. Plan a book launch together or an outing.

Don’t put it off. Do it today.

Enjoy Lounging In Bed

Posted on May 15, 2022

It can feel so nice if it is a rare occurrence. Not having to go anywhere may even be better than the actual lounging.

I’m out of bed between 5am and 7am, 7 days a week. I usually like getting up early as I can go for a run, get some work done and have breakfast with the kids.

But on Sunday morning it was about 10:30am when I finally got out of bed for good. Although I’d been awake from 05:30, I did drop back off a few short times.

It was very nice. No need to rush off somewhere. The house was very quiet. I got some things done on my phone. Thought through some issues. And generally just had a relaxing morning. I even played a few games of solitaire on my phone.

When it happens so rarely, it really is a treat. I hope you can enjoy one like that soon.

Keep Your Finances Updated And Tidy

Posted on May 13, 2022

There are many reasons to do this. It’s an investment in you and your personal well-being for starters. Knowing where things are at financially is calming, liberating and allows maximum fun.

If you know your bills are paid, your emergency account is fully funded and your investments are working day and night for you, you will have a greater sense of calm. And it lasts all year. Not just the week or two of calm you get from going on a holiday. Especially if your bills pile up, your admin gets behind and you blow your emergency funds on your, ‘but I needed it!’ trip.

Also, if you were incapacitated or died, could someone step in and know where everything was? Are all the accounts easy to find? Is there an up-to-date will? Are bills on direct debit? Or would someone have to hunt around and figure out what to pay and when?

Do this for you, and your heirs or carers. Start today and have it all sorted by the 15th July (2022!!). Go!

How Much More Could You Be Doing?

Posted on May 12, 2022

If you focused and were excellent with your time, could you be more productive? Could you get more done in a day?

It’s amazing what you can achieve when you don’t get distracted, procrastinate or do only the fun things.

If you seriously want to change your life, put the work in. Stop talking about it. Get it done.
