Do You Keep Track?

Do you keep track? Do you write down your goals? If not, why not?

Just  the act of writing then down makes them more concrete. The idea of crossing things you’ve gotten done is very motivating. Get yourself the kind of notebook you like and the kind of writing instrument you like. Make it a pleasurable experience to keep a goal list. Keep it with you and review and update as you see fit.

The act of writing things down helps us immeasurably. Why not give it a try and see if it works for you.

Make That Connection…

Make that connection. If you have someone you have not spoken to in a long time why not make that connection today? You know you want to- just by reading these words you’ve already thought of that person and wondered how they were and what they were doing.

Don’t wait so long that you have lost the ability to connect- tomorrow is promised to no one. If it feels like it’s time then it is time. Now go pick up the phone or get in the car.

Here It Is!

Here it is- a brand new week for us! So maybe it is the start of the work week for many, but whatever it brings to us let’s decide now to look for the best and work for the best…and expect the best. We deserve it and we can make it so. Let’s remember that always.

If You’re Gonna Be A Grump…

If you’re gonna be a grump, then prepared to be around grumpy people. If you walk around saying things like “I hate all people” then you’re going to spend lots of time on your own.

I had a friend years ago who told me everyone around her was always in a mood. One day, i was at another friends house and we were having a lively, pleasant conversation. Then my friend walked in. Slamming the door she said loudly “I can’t believe all that damn traffic out there- why don’t more of these ******** people stay home and off the roads!”

The whole atmosphere of the room changed and so she walked over to me and said “You see, what I told you is true- these people are always grumpy.

Think about it.

It’s Time…

It’s time… time for YOU. Time to be kind to yourself and to treat yourself as you would your own best friend.

It’s time to realize that your goals are valuable. It’s time to realize that you are valuable…just as you are, and to act from that perspective.

Are You Engaging In It?

Are you engaging in it…gossip? Do you encourage it and want to keep it going? Do you find it entertaining?

Gossip is damaging. Not only is it most often not true, but why do we need to call attention of the shortcomings of others when we have our own as well?

Let’s put our focus on what is good in other people and in ourselves. Let’s put our focus on praise and kind words and leave the other junk behind. We don’t need it in our lives.

Take It To The Next Level…

Take it to the next level- take your dream to the next step. Make that phone call, or that visit. Send that email or get that research started and take notes. Then make it a point to continue on the next day. Before long, taking these steps will become second nature to you and they will flow naturally.

Take yourself to that next level

Just Slow Down…

Just slow down…a little. Yes, it’s great to be high energy and want to get things done, but trying to do a thousand things at one time is just a recipe for disaster. Let’s face it, most of us can’t give our full attention to a million things at once. We need to slow it down a bit and give each task more attention. This way we don’t have to do it over, which will slow us down even more.

Celebrate You!

Celebrate yourself. Celebrate what you are good at.

Too often we downplay the things we do well but overplay the talents of others. Now, there is nothing wrong with recognizing good work in another person; we should recognize the good in all of us, but when you create, for example, an award winning painting for example, and when people compliment you on your work you turn around and say something like “Yeah, thanks- but look at Bud…he painted two walls in his kitchen this weekend!”

I’m sure Bud did a great job painting the kitchen walls that bright, sunny yellow that his wife wanted- but there is a big difference between that and creating a masterpiece. But somehow, when it comes to us that “masterpiece” is suddenly no big deal- but the truth is that is IS a big deal- and we should celebrate our ability. Think about it.

Here It is…

Here it is – a brand new day in a brand new week. But what will this week bring for you? Will it be more of the same- but if things are going well then more of the same is a good thing but- what if things are not going too well. What if this new week just brings you down just thinking about it.

Think of the way you feel. If you don’t feel good about the start of the new week then why not? What little step can you take to start to feel a little more optimist- what can you do differently?

Sure change is scary but I think not changing is a heck of a lot scarier.
