The Differences Between Us

Each one of us is different, with different perspectives and different truths. Yet we're all interconnected and part of one world, one family. And even though there are differences between us, we can appreciate the differences.

Diamonds for Breakfast

You might have seen this on t-shirts or stationery, "Eat Diamonds for Breakfast and Shine all day".

Do you eat diamonds for breakfast? Feed your body a healthy breakfast but also feed your mind empowering and valuable thoughts in the morning, and you’ll set a sparkling tone for the day.

The Eye of the Storm

When everything around us is changing, when there’s a storm of emotions and events, when things around you are out of control - navigate towards your inner calm, the eye of the storm.

Go within, into the eye of the storm. Here you can find stillness, strength & stability. Then you can continue on your journey with confidence & clarity.

Give a Hug

Giving a hug is a simple act that can be a way to say 'hello'. It can comfort someone & make them feel good - because a hug is a transfer of positive energy, acceptance & warmth. Actually research shows that when we give hugs, it can be good for our hearts & well-being. So, give a hug when appropriate.

Give a hug, physically or mentally, whether our arms surround someone or our minds embrace someone, it's the same.

Put The Rubbish Out!

Just as we put the rubbish out for collection, in the same way, at the same time, we can also put out the rubbish from our minds and hearts. Throw out the wasteful thoughts and get rid of all the toxic emotions that have piled up. And, remember once you've put the rubbish out, don't pick it back up again.

Put the rubbish out, keep your mind and heart clean, and you'll have space for clear thinking and happy emotions.

Just a Sigh

Let out a sigh and the body decompresses, releasing whatever we are holding onto. But is a sigh, just a sigh?

Well, researchers say that a sigh can be seen as an expression of overwhelm, boredom, disappointment, frustration, exhaustion.... So, when we sigh, we may be feeling one thing but we may be communicating something else. If you want to avoid being misinterpreted, maybe be more mindful of where you sigh. (I'm not saying you should suppress a sigh because sighing creates a sense of relief.)

The Tests of Life

Every now and then, challenging situations come along. These challenges come to test our competence, resilience and confidence. Sometimes these tests of life are fun, almost like a trivia quiz, and sometimes they're scary, like a final exam. But rarely do these tests come announced. So maybe the best way to prepare for the tests of life is to keep expanding our competence, resilience and confidence.

When the tests of life come, just do your best and remember:
- You never fail because you always gain lessons and experience.
- Tests in life don't come to shake you but to make you.

The Creative Stimulus

To get creative, most of us need some sort of stimulus. Stimulus sparks ideas and solutions. So, get out and about, explore different spaces and places, read or listen to something you never would. Be observant and open, and let creativity flow.

What stimulus stimulates your creativity?

From a Place of Peace

When someone's talking to you, can you hear what the other person is saying over the noise in your head? Listen from a place of noise and it can lead to misunderstandings and mistakes.

Next time someone's talking to you, reset your listening position to a place of peace. Do this as you're listening – go behind the noise in your head and into your inner peace. Then from this place of peace, listen.

Listen from a place of peace, and see the difference it makes to the conversation, the results and your own experience as a listener.

Feeling Judged?

Feeling judged by others? We can’t avoid being judged, but we can avoid letting others' judgments hurt us and affect us negatively.

Next time you feel you're being judged, ask yourself: Are they really judging me? Is it all in my head? Is there something I can do to improve without feeling pressured to change who I am and what I do?

Put things in perspective. Remember, no one can make you feel anything unless you let them. Let go of feeling judged and choose how you want to feel.

Practice Makes Habits

It is practice that creates habits. Good habits are the result of practice but so are bad habits. So, are you practicing to improve? Or are you reinforcing bad habits?

Why not create habits that make you outstandingly astounding. What will you practice, today?

The Worry Solution

Worrying is not only a draining exercise, but it also doesn't contribute to you feeling better or doing things better, it just makes you more worried.

Instead of worrying, try this:
1. Write down all your worries, and next to each worry, brainstorm solutions.
2. If you can do something, focus on the solutions, and you'll feel less worried.
3. If you can't do anything, replace the worry with an alternative positive affirmation or thought, and then remember this whenever the worry comes to your mind

Pay Back or Pay It Forward?

Kindness doesn't always involve money or great effort, but it does involve your presence. Be present to notice when someone is kind to you or when there's an opportunity to be kind.

When someone is kind to you, do you pay back the kindness? Or do you pay it forward to someone else? Or pay it back, as well as pay it forward?
