The Daily Do

Do you have some personal non-negotiables that you do even if you’re tired? A few simple principles you carry through when uninspired. We can add to daily practices like brushing teeth and eating healthy food, actions that, even in a dip, create your greater good. These habits that you can form that you perform in rain or shine, are what you become, so you can choose how you’re defined!

Optimism isn’t hopeful naive delusion, it’s a strategy for life of seeing the solution. This tactical process of magnetising to the good is reality, and creates more success than fearing the worst ever could. What can you do in your life to make the good things grow and bloom? I promise you this does not happen when fixated on the gloom.  

We worry our way into problems far more than we worry our way out. Fear loves creating what we fear, so let go of worry, now. Letting go of worry feels like irresponsible abandon, it’s as if you just don’t care, or are in deep denial. But it’s not, you know the problem and you probably know what’s best to do, and this deluge of overthinking fear is most likely stopping you.

The patient process of a little every day brings progress, sure and real. But it churns up facing obstacles, long avoided, with which to deal. With facing obstacles come fearful feelings of nervous resistance, and these feel less like progress and more like distress. This is the nature of growing. These are growing pains. Your process works and creates real progress, so see these obstacles as your gain.

What we resolve to do is always simply who we’d like to be, no one’s stopping us, our resolutions are just our inspiration blocked by fear. Set in stone your heart’s desires, write down the life you’d live if brave, then see the truth that you can live this now in how you behave. BE the way you want to be by pushing past your fear, it’s only you that’s stopping you, the path to you is clear. 

Seasonal change presents us opportunity to grow, to evolve and spin, shed our skin, and lean into tomorrow. In step with nature's rhythms, we can feel this in the air, the lighter evenings, brighter feelings, renewal everywhere. Revived in eye and mind we can sense this deep revival, seize nature's call to rejuvenate and flow with this upward spiral.

You see yourself, your every move, you are your fiercest judge, so watch yourself doing something great if self esteem is in the mud. Esteem is built from estimable actions so try this if needing a boost, start tomorrow morning by doing one thing that’s good for you. One thing that pushes you and doesn’t feel great at the time but that you know is going to make you feel fantastic further down the line. We can learn new ways of being by simply choosing something new, watch yourself doing something that is really good for you!

“How can you be bothered?” is a question I get asked; I simply look over my shoulder at the overthinking wreckage of my past. So what price is a little discipline for right thinking and it’s effects? 30 mins in the morning delivers so many benefits. Good thinking and deep calm need tending, fuel and energy. Yes, bother to ignite this in the morning and be free!

Is someone really grating or criticising what you do? Is another really irritating deep under the skin of you? We see others not as they are but as we are, and we can change. If others are really troubling you ask yourself again, “What is it I’m feeling? What is really hurting me?” Look into your own perception, clean this lens and you are free.

Your big break, fate, good luck and fortune all need a helping hand, start the part that you can do, and watch your world expand. 'The more I practice, the luckier I get' sums up this cause and effect. If you do not buy a lottery ticket what can you expect? And the lottery of life is far less chance than it can seem, we do control our actions, and our actions invite our dreams.
