The Daily Do

Do You Want To Live Lighter? - Day 359

There is no lighter life to live than one that’s based on inner truth, it permeates the words you speak and everything you do. No mask required or performance, no fear of being found out, you being you is fundamentally what your life’s about. Vulnerability is strength and it takes power to be open but to let people in you begin by being calm and then just start talking.

Do You Want To Change Your Brain? - Day 358

Change is what moulds and sculpts your brain, not how long you’ve been that way, you’re shaped from learnt behaviours and you can change today. Nothing feels as good as making good choices feels, especially when you know that these good choices become real. Real changes in the brain, neuroplasticity, synapse shifts, alter how you think with each new challenge that you lift. Old dog/new tricks is science fact, you can change and learn new things, it simply takes your doing them for these changes to begin.

Do You Live For Those That Don't Like You? - Day 357

Live as though life likes you, not for those that don’t. Picture those that love you and you’ll start doing what you want. If you’re hesitating to make a leap, build your bliss with plans and schemes, examine who you’re waiting for to deflate your special dreams. Now replace these fear fuelled faces with those of ones that love you, look into their eyes and ask them what they think you should do.

Do You Say What You're Really Thinking? - Day 356

Oh, how we make a meal of what it is we want to say, when direct communication is the path to simplicity. The baggage that we carry is most obvious in how we talk, have you ever heard a young child not simply ask for what they want? Speak clearly in short messages if you want to be heard, this is living simply, the power of your word.

Do Negative People Drag You Down? - Day 355

You’ll know some one that comes alive on hearing of bad news, addicted to the drama and determined to pollute you. Rejoicing in misfortune and rising to the kill, there’s no greater sign of discontent than wishing others ill. A great place to start in stopping this malady in ourselves, is to not respond when being dragged in to gossip and wishing ill. Drama is distraction from ourselves, a thought affliction, and when unchecked we can get a negative addiction.

Do You Know Your WHY? - Day 354

Will power turns to won’t power if you lose sight of your WHY. Why you do the things you do is the font of focus and drive. My WHY is to inspire people to live fuller lives by confronting fear, and to start this in daily stillness where your inner voice is clear. Your WHY reveals all kinds of things you could be doing to progress, a duty to yourself to push past the living less. Live more, do more, honour your WHY and you unfold in fulfilling ways, let your WHY direct you past fears to your best today.

Do You Love Yourself Enough? - Day 353

It’s important that we show ourselves the love we like to give, the greatest gift to others is loving the life we live. A little bit of what you love will grease the wheels of progress; all work, no play makes Jack say, "This does not feel like success." It takes foresight, and some self love, to allow some special times, to revive in where your heart sings, where your essence chimes.

Do You Know What You'd Tell Your Younger Self? - Day 352

Dear Me, I’m forty eight and I know you’re only twelve but I thought I’d write myself a letter so that you can help yourself. The truth is little man, what you fear does not come true, it’s just some shadows on the wall trying to frighten you. Shine your light directly at them and they all just disappear, there is nothing to be scared of so run straight at your fear. "You’ll be ok" is all you need to know from me wee man, and, now you know that, don’t be scared to dream, to build, to plan.

Do You Have One Eye On Tomorrow? - Day 351

Live just for today with one eye on tomorrow, living mindfully in the now but with a map to follow. There’s nothing like an action plan if you want to get stuff done, commit to visible targets, and then link it to your time. Overwhelm can ruin living for today and now, we know tomorrow’s coming so let’s break the 'do' list down. Forecast your end goal and chart a path that you can follow, live just for today but now with one eye on tomorrow.

Do You Use Your Response Ability? - Day 350

When you seize the freedom of personal responsibility life turns from burden to adventure, the life circle of your choices with you at it’s centre. You can impact any aspect of your life today, and blaming others or circumstance just gives this power away. To accept your load, the daily tasks, lightens it in one thought shift, "My life is mine and mine alone, I want to grow, now lift."
