The Daily Do

Do You Fill Your Cup? - Day 279

We are shaped by our environment so make yours an inspiring one. Tune in to what and who makes you light up and sparkle, choose then act to surround yourself with what makes you remarkable. Actively increase the time spent thriving in fertile soil, and uproot yourself from the barren land that is not worth your toil. Go back to inspiring places, see that friend that lights you up, say no to things that drain you and choose to fill your cup.

Do You Have An Anchor? - Day 278

The welcome warmth you’ve found in silence becomes a working part of your mind that you can access quickly when you don’t quite have the time or space to do your morning thing, a quick dive into deep calm and peace through touchstones and anchoring. A keyring or a pebble, a coin or bracelet charm can become the trigger or the key to open up that welcome warmth.

Do Expectations Ruin Your Reality? - Day 277

Expectation is a suffocating burden, whilst an open mind is fun. Off load the need to do great things, and great things will get done. Yes we are free to achieve all we want, but can get it so wrong if always chasing, trying too hard to fit the mould of our dreamt up expectation. Just do today well in quiet excellence, from seeds do great oaks grow, your best today will dwarf expectations if it’s truly your best you sow.

Do You Need A Kickstart? - Day 276

Ruts come in different shapes and sizes but they can all be busted by the same tool, action. The urge to stick in reassuring discomfort makes no sense at all, but yet we do it all the time, for want of knowing how to grow. Ruts are dug from the habit of indecision and it only takes tiny decisive actions to change position. To kickstart the breaking of negative habits I know of no greater tool than Mel Robbins' 5-4-3-2-1, it’s action’s rocket fuel.

Do You Fight Or Flow? - Day 275

Through a quiet mind we see a simple world, with a racing mind a tangled one. Submerge yourself in life’s great rhythm, the majestic elemental flow, and deeply feel the simple truth that nature’s dance is slow. Peace and harmony exist right now if allowed to enter in, take a walk in nature and dance to it’s rhythm. Slow, go slow and fall in line with your part of the tune, you are a part of nature so find yourself there, soon.

Do People Let You Down? - Day 274

The carrot beats the stick, encouragement conquers criticism, positive squashes negative and expecting the best whips cynicism. Treat others as you’d like to be treated is the two way road of truth; would you respond better to being encouraged or someone criticising you? If you’re having a sticky relationship with someone that's doing less than best, maybe try to build them up rather than making them feel less.

Do You Know Where You're Going To? - Day 273

What’s the most important thing that you can do today? Stop before the busy starts and life gets in the way, think “What is it I’m doing, where am I heading to?”. We keep ourselves so busy doing things that just need done that we forget to truly live the life we want to live and can. Choose the mark you’re making by being true to making you, what’s the most important thing today that you can do?

Do You Bake The Cake You Want To Taste? - Day 272

Your life is one big cake of possibilities and you choose what’s going in, whatever is in your recipe is also in the eating. What we give attention to are the ingredients of the life we live, focus on what inspires you to give your life that lift. Put inspiration in and inspired living is what comes out so pick up what you would like to taste and put your troubles down.

Do You Plan Your Monday Morning? - Day 271

Much as a railway signal man can direct the tracks with switches one way or another, we can set our mornings towards positive and avoiding bother. You won’t even notice the impact little things you planned will do, you’ll be too busy cracking on and with nothing hindering you. Set out your morning clothes, a towel, or breakfast…whatever says, "I’m ready", a little planning in the evening makes the morning steady.

Do You Know The Simple Truth? - Day 270

We sometimes make things complicated because we don’t like the simplicity of the truth that eating well, moving more and thinking less is good for you. Simplify the search, put down the tangled plans, start with eating a little better, moving more and five minutes quiet time. Be sure in your knowledge that it’s the action not the plans, the simple things we do are the making of the man or woman.
