The way we see ourselves changes our daily actions in both miniscule and massive ways. Don't walk blindly into the day hoping that this internal barometer is set to 'best', take time in your early morning to see the good and leave the rest. 'Priming' is the way!

Travel, flying, meeting groups of new people, being away from familiar routine touchstones can bring unwanted anxiety and an unwelcoming hum of agitation and fear. These can prevent you from venturing into the enjoyment of the moment and can grip you in a state of ‘how am I feeling?’ and ‘there’s something, somewhere… wrong’. Not anymore! Breathe, re-label and let go!

It’s in the darker days or when all is really great that we feel least inclined to practice inner stillness…resistance kicks in, and we think, "My troubles are bigger than this, there’s no such thing as inner peace!", or "Things are awesome, I’m all set, my tank will fill itself!"…but it’s in these days we must persist to mine our inner wealth!

We can give worries far more weight than hopes and dreams but both are based in speculation so why focus on the 'worst case of me'! Choose thinking only of your best case scenario and you will solve more in positive action than in fretful, shrinking thinking. This is not a run away, this is become your dreams today!

Who would you like to have been when you look back at your life? And then how do we use that, now, to be who we want to be? It’s in the next five minutes that we can be who we want to become. The next five minutes you can rise to your standards, you’ve got time, you’ve just begun!

Life will come in waves of calm or choppy waters too, but panicked paddling and stressful hurry will only hinder you, let stress out, release the steam, let inspiration rise, use box breathing, and other tools, to help your productivity thrive.

Somewhere in the sweet spot between accepting the uncontrollable aspects of our lives and relishing the change we can impart lies of our satisfaction and completeness! So here’s a quick tool to separate the two, the uncontrollable and the controllable…it’s wonderfully and profoundly simple….other people and you!

We like to think we’re bigger than the petty parts of life, but these are straws on camel's backs that can build up and cause us strife. Our state of mind is what lies behind how we see the world, so let’s not focus on the little thorns, when there are roses to be found!

Here it is, the stillness, the time to simply be! Hold one another, celebrate, we’ve already made it, we are here! Let go today, shake off the weight of expectations, put your troubles down. Take 7 mins, intend to see the majesty of now.

You can either live on the front foot or lean heavily on the back, expanding or contracting, growing or shrinking, living fully or hiding! And this depends on your beliefs of who you are today. This belief then stirs emotion, and emotion becomes action and your actions dictate the path of your life. Get on the front foot with ONE POSITIVE ACTION!
