Push Through

Posted on June 18, 2022

Sometimes you want to give up, shrug it off or let go of the dream. But don’t.

You need to push through your mental and physical barriers. It may be hard. You may try to convince yourself that it is not worth the time or effort. But double down on the effort, push through harder than ever before.

Think of how it will feel to win, to succeed, or to make your dream come true. Hold that positive thought in your head. See the positive outcome rather than any negative one. Just having a go and having that experience will be a positive moment in your life. Cherish it.

When you feel low and want to go, stay and fight. Make yourself proud of your self-discipline and courage, regardless of the actual result.

Buy Groceries Online

Posted on June 16, 2022

I love this great time saving hack. We have done so for about a decade.

Just copy the order from the week before, add a few new things and remove a few things and voilà. In under 10 minutes you have what you want being delivered to your door within a 1 hour slot on your preferred day. Amazing.

It saves over an hour of wandering around the grocery store plus travel time there and back. Your list is online and ready so no making a new one. No standing in queues. No picking up extra stuff you don’t need but caught your eye.

No petrol used, or other energy. No traffic congestion either.

It’s amazing. Try it.

Eat Less

Posted on June 15, 2022

Stop before you are full. Don’t snack. Or if you do, take 2-6 of the item and return the pack to the fridge or cupboard. Then, only eat what you took and walk away.

Drink a glass of water when you get out of bed. Have another one every time you go to have a snack or a meal.

Commit and stand tall and be proud of yourself for sticking to your plan each hour.

Move more too!

Where You Shine Your Light

Posted on June 14, 2022

Be aware of what you highlight and focus on. Just because you shine your light on one spot, doesn’t mean the other million spots you could have highlighted don’t exist. They do.

When people distract you with their preferred stories, you don’t get to work on your life story. Turned down the noise or even turn it off. You don’t need the media, your friends, colleagues, social media and entertainment to distract you.

Shine your light on your work. Stay focused. Get it done. Then take a well deserved break. Before long, get back at it. Everything else is noise distracting you from your dream life.

The Friendship Litmus Test

Posted on June 11, 2022

Do we have to agree on all topics to be friends? Can we only be friends with people of a similar political persuasion? Or maybe friends must be of the same religious beliefs? What about climate differences, gender, guns, homeschooling, pro life or pro choice, covid policies, SCOTUS assassination attempts, or special military operations in other countries?

Can you be friends with people who hold a different view? Or is friendly as good as it gets? Or is friendly just a step too far? Are they the enemy? Does diversity of thought scare, anger, frustrate or disgust you?

Can other people have diverse thoughts but only those you approve of or could warm to?

Are we being naive to think we can be friends with people who hold different thoughts to ours? Or should we simply revert to micro tribalism and only be friends with those people who think exactly like us on every topic? If not, how should we treat our friends who have different or opposing thoughts to us?

Do you actually do this?

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.

We Are Decision-Makers Too

Posted on June 9, 2022

We are included in the term decision-maker. We may not set policy in government, but our decisions influence who will be forming the government.

And we decide who we hang around with, where we work and live, when to pay our bills and if we want to improve our skills or market value to increase our earnings.

We decide what’s good to eat, what fitness level we want, what time to leave the party and where to put the cereal in the cupboard.

So be careful with that macro pointing stick. While the government of the day can direct broad. policy, you control thousands of more important local and personal decisions.

If you are not delighted by where you find yourself today, start looking to improve things straight away. Only you can do it. You are your own super hero. You might better start acting like it.
