Do you think you "Should" or do you know you "Can"?

Don't you sometimes find that all the stress you feel in your life at this moment is caused by arguing with "what is". This kind of thinking is just a way of wanting reality to be different than it actually is!

A lot of the time, the  only reason we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with "what is". 

When our mind is perfectly clear, "what is" is what we accept in this moment.

Create Time For Your Life and start paying attention and you'll notice that you think thoughts like this all the time. 

How often do you use the word SHOULD? Whenever the word 'should' shows up, that's what is going on. As in "I should be thinner, my friend should be

less sensitive, my spouse should be more attentive." 

Wanting your reality to be different than what it is in this 

moment, is just hopeless.  You could spend the rest of your life trying 

to teach your dog to use litter tray...Just coz you think it "should" doesn't mean it "can"..

However this doesn't mean you can't try to create changes with certain things ...

Accepting "what is" doesn't mean you have to settle for the way things are, it 

just means you give up all the "resistance" and inner struggle by "wishing" it were different. 

So drop your "shoulds" and start asking "how can i"? And take Action!

How to get more organised and focused..

Is your mental energy freed  up to focus 100 per cent on the daily action which will take you in the direction of your dreams?

Well have you tried taking the time to sit down and list your short and long-term goals? Even if you are the sort of person who hates to do this...please trust me on this one.. If you don’t want to call them goals..then just name the three things that you want to have in a year's time and three things you want to have at the end of your life (ie: you would like written or said about you in your epitaph). 

Organisation is really all about clarity. When you know what is most important to you, you can organise your time, space and life. When you know why you want it, it will take the distractions away.

Try prioritsing action steps that need to be taken each week in order to bring you closer to the above goals. Put them in order of what you really want to get done and what it would be nice to get done. Make this to-do list the night before. This will also help you sleep better. 

Do you have a  list of the people in your family and life who you absolutely love and want to ensure that you are actively nurturing these relationships?

Well make sure you put them into your week to call, see or connect with as much as you can....Seeing them adds to your positive energy and actually fuels you up. List the people who you like to contribute to and make seeing them a part of your week as well. Lastly, list the ones that networking with will help in some way to enhance your work/career/brand.

 Ensure you allocate time to each of these categories every week.

How s your personal space? Why not spend one day organising your desk, workspace, dresser, cupboards, drawers and your phone and computer. Delete, discard, and recycle what is no longer useful. When you know where EVERYTHING is, it will free up so much time.  

Researchers say, "When your environment is cluttered, the chaos restricts your ability to focus. The clutter also limits your brain’s ability to process information. Clutter makes you distracted and unable to process information as well as you do in an uncluttered, organised, and serene environment."

Are you a delegator or a control freak? The only way to have balance in your life is to manage your time. If you give up the need for perfection in everything and you trust and allow other people to do a few things for you, you will free up a lot of time and hence be able to consciously create balance in your life. Good enough is better than nothing and perfectionism can be an obstacle. Allow others to do things for you by trusting that they will do them well if YOU take the time to communicate CLEARLY. Learn to make powerful REQUESTS and practice saying “no” often to what you don’t want to do.

Do you commit enough time each day to nurture your soul by plugging in or centering?

This is the time you sit in silence with yourself and you are still. Try watching  some videos on YouTube to help you do this better if you don’t already have your own practices. This will help you to find your inner balance. Having what you desire is not just about doing and taking action, it is more about who and how you are “being”. 

Try the “see-be-do-have” model – you have to first see where you are and what you want clearly. Clarity! Only then can you “be” the person you need to be in order to plan and do the actions that iare required to have what you so want. 

Step 1 to 3 help you to "see", steps 4 & 5 are both about "doing” and step 6 is about "being". To me," being" is the most important part, so take the time to sit with yourself, plug in, relax and allow your internal balance system to guide you forward.

Who Says You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks?

I bet your first thought as you saw the title of this blog was “I’ll read this later.”

Well let the urge to change to a new task pass you by and take a minute to read this right now. It’ll save you countless hours.

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

1.Identify the most important thing you have to do today.

2.Decide to do just the first little part of it — just the first minute, or even 30 seconds of it. Getting started is the only thing in the world that matters.

3.Clear away distractions. Turn everything off. Close all programs. There should just be you, and your task.

4.Sit there, and focus on getting started. Not doing the whole task, just starting.

5.Pay attention to your mind, as it starts to have urges to switch to another task. You will have urges to check email or Facebook or Twitter or your favorite website. You will want to play a game or make a call or do another task. 

6.But don’t move. Notice the urges, but sit still, and let them pass. Urges build up in intensity, then pass, like a wave. Let each one pass.

7.Notice also your mind trying to justify not doing the task. Also let these self-rationalizing thoughts pass.

8.Now just take one small action to get started. As tiny a step as possible.

9.Get started, 

10.The rest will flow.

Is your glass half empty or half full?

Do you make positive plans or negative plans?

Do you plan for a good outcome or a bad outcome?

Presumably you would prefer a good outcome ...so why drag the present moment into a negative feeling by planning a future negative outcome?

If you don't know what the end of the film is going to be..I bet you always plan for a happy ending...we always hope for a happy ending...well it s the same in life...if the ending turns out not to be the one you desired..then deal with it and move on..

But don't spoil the journey to the destination by worrying about the outcome!!

After all..happiness is a journey..not a destination!
