Acts of Generosity

Generosity is the act of giving. Giving things, giving time, giving encouragement, giving opportunity..... Generosity increases everything we have, and gives us everything we need.

Take the initiative, lead the way and be more generous.

Working Anywhere, Anytime

Many of us have the option to work anywhere, anytime.

Assess how you currently manage your tasks and how you could increase your productivity. Maybe you could prepare specific tasks that can be done online and offline. But be disciplined about maintaining your well being and all your priorities, otherwise you might end up working everywhere, all the time.

So make working anywhere, anytime work for you.

Emotional Detox

Detox emotionally. How?

Identify the toxic emotion that you want to get rid of: jealousy, guilt, anger, sadness.... And accept what you are feeling. Then release your emotions by writing it all down, going for a walk or run, or deep breathing. Or just let it go from your heart.

Flush out all the toxins and you will enhance your vitality and positive emotions.

Monkey Mind

A "monkey mind" flits from one thing to another, jumping from branch to branch. You can’t force the monkey mind to be still, but you can learn to steady it. After running amok being busy, busy, busy, make sure that your mind leaves the jungle of pressures, deadlines and speed. Take it from wild and willful to calm and restful.

Other People’s Shortcomings

It’s easy to notice others’ shortcomings and when we do, our thoughts and words often become negative. This brings the atmosphere down. To create a positive environment refuse to notice and talk about other people’s shortcomings. Learn to consciously look for their best qualities and keep these in your mind as you interact with them.

Profit from Mistakes

Mistakes, we all make them. But the question is: do you profit from your mistakes?

The next time you make a mistake, ask yourself: What do I now know that I didn't before? What have I discovered? What do I need to do differently to keep it from happening again?

Gain greater understanding and clarity from your mistakes, and you've transformed loss into profit!

Like an Orchestra

Working and living with others is like being part of an orchestra! The musicians in the orchestra know their instrument well. They know that they don't all play at the same time or for equal amounts of time. In the same way, we too have to recognize and value our own and each others' strengths and contribution. And when we harmonize together, that's when we create great music.

Like a Pressure Cooker

Most of us are used to living under pressure but when the pressure intensifies, do you feel like a pressure cooker, about to explode?

Why not take something off your plate & turn the heat down. Loosen the lid of routine & unwind. Gradually let the steam out, release the pressure & breathe. Once you've cooled down, think about how to stay cool under pressure & avoid becoming like a pressure cooker again.

Where I Am Meant To Be

Why is the grass always greener on the other side?
Wanting to be somewhere other than where you are creates discontentment. Think: Wherever I am, is where I am meant to be! This creates contentment.

Even if where you are, is not where you want to be, be content with where you are. Then you'll create the best possible opportunities, to be where you are meant to be.

Be Your Own Hero

Would you like to be a hero? Well you can be a hero in your own life. All you need to do is believe in yourself and be your best.

Then you'll want to wake up and face the day with excitement, see every situation as an adventure and make a difference in every moment - because that's what heroes do.

Breaking Bad Habits

Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of. How to break bad habits: focus on changing just one habit at a time; acknowledge how the habit dis-empowers you; realize how you alone can break the habit, no-one else can do it for you; separate yourself from your habit and understand that you aren’t your habit; visualize yourself without the habit; replace the bad habit with something positive; don’t focus on the “not doing”, but instead, focus on “doing” the positive action; don’t beat yourself up when you slip up, just break the habit as many times as it takes.

Healing Your Heart

Heal the rifts in your soul that have been caused by toxic relationships in the past. Instead of rehashing the past, revisit the past with understanding. Can you learn anything from those relationships? Did you in any way allow or prolong the toxic behavior? Were there any unfair expectations? Open your heart and forgive yourself and the other person. Heal your heart, so that you’re able to leave the past relationships in the past and move on.

Seasonal Changes

Throughout the year, we adapt and change our eating habits, activities.... according to the seasons.

We changed the clocks when the clocks turned back. We're going to put that big coat on and wrap up warm when it starts to get chilly. We're not going to resist, are we?

Come on, be practical. Quickly accept and adapt to any new changes in your life and make change easy.

Words Count

Words can hurt or comfort. Words can encourage or discourage.
Isn't it great to hear words that are free from aggression, words that leave you with renewed vitality? Today, as you utter words, choose your words carefully and make your words count.

With Love

Approach everything you do, with love. And when you come across any difficulties or tasks that you don't like to do, remind yourself: I love what I am doing!

Do things with love and you begin to develop an interest, a love for what you do.

Love just makes things seem easier, more like a game to be enjoyed. With love, even difficulties stand aside to let love in.
