When was the last time you carefully listened to all the
information that is thrown at you? The last time that you really took in what
is being constantly drip-fed to you?
13 Hospitals have no free intensive care beds.
Dutch officials confiscate ham sandwiches from UK visitors
as a result of Brexit.

#USCapitol
If you were to add feelings to all those pieces of
information, what would those feelings be?
Just for a brief moment think what feelings go with these
topics?
Now ask yourself if these are feelings you love having in
your life?
NO? Then what can you do about this?
From experience here are a few questions to start you off on
a different journey:
What would it mean to you to have other feelings in your
life?
What feelings would you like in your life?
What impact, would having those feelings in your life, have
on you?
What actions can you take today that will give you these
feelings?
I invite you to take 1 positive action from the last answer. 1 that is good for you. And try it out! See if it gets you the feeling and if that feeling is worth having.
If you struggle to come up with positive actions that is OK
too, we have had to endure the above information stream for a long time in our
lives. It’s all about small steps to change. It’s about creating a bubble of
positivity around yourself and once that is there, we can start thinking of
bigger changes.
What can you do now if you have no immediate positive
actions?
From personal experience and that of my clients here are 2
things that really work and are easy to do.
1- Each evening before you go to bed, write down the 3 best
things that happened to you that day. Small things, simple things, big things,
achievements, thank you’s. They all count. In my last week, there were best things
in my life like a call with a really good friend, a dinner that tasted
wonderful, a new contract signed with an existing client, a dog walk, a song I
hadn’t heard for ages.
When you have written all 3 down, add a feeling to them and
relive that feeling for a minute.
2- While we have to stay home as much as we can, do go
Outdoors at least once a day. No phone, no music. Just you (and if you want the
children, dog, partner) and the outdoors. Walk, run, cycle, skip, sit on a mat,
work in the garden. Whichever. And see how you feel during and after.
Changing things around in your life is simple. Just do things
you love and are good for you. One step at a time.
I can’t wait to hear from you to see how this changes things
for you!!
