The Daily Do

Do You Use Excellence In Your Everyday? - Day 539

Pull on the mantle of your best effort and reap its rich rewards, turn mundane to mastery, dive deep into your world.  Apply your hand to excellence in the humdrum parts of life as practice for the presence that will sculpt you over time.  Depth of presence, the art of appreciation, the gentle wide awake, the open eye and heart to the waves you then create.  Excellence is only your perception of the care you give to things, learn this in the humdrum and the presence that you bring.

Do You Want The Secret To Real Change? - Day 538

Real change comes from starting and then doing a little more every day. Don’t gear up for a titanic battle of change. Relax, accept what you are wanting, then put one small change in place. If I could write one golden word in bold letters in the sky it would read 'BEGIN'. 'BEGIN' because it says it all, it sums up action over fear. BEGIN.

Do You Want To Change Your Situation? - Day 537

We can spend so much of our time and energy manipulating our outside circumstances that we lose sight of the natural law that how we are inside will always dictate the world we create. And the world we create, we experience. What we think controls entirely not only how we feel but how we effect our surroundings. Be the change you want to see. Say deeply and loud, "Change starts in me!"

Do You Get Stifled By Your Routines? - Day 536

As a plane follows an electronic beam through darkness, mist and heavy weather, so too can we by having daily routines that we use to guide us, but we’re not tethered. Tied or shackled down is the wrong way to use routine.. they are quiet touchstones that build the foundation of your dreams. When you're flexible but have consistency possibilities abound, the infinite expands, and all your stars come out!

Do You Want To Build Your Best Life? - Day 535

Today lived well makes tomorrow better.  When your best life is broken down into how to live today you begin to see all that is at your disposal and choose wisely in the moment.  Just from living well today your best life emerges, your dreams become real and your problems resolve.  All whilst at peace in the here and now, fulfilled and content with your why and your how.

Do You Give Up Too Easily? - Day 534

Our old patterns are learnt and they take time to adjust but if they hurt you, you must and you will.  Use this technique, ‘Tugboat Pulls Tanker’, to stick with your plan to be happy, refreshed and fulfilled. Picture and feel the new you as a tugboat full to the brim with your best.  Behind it it’s pulling the old you along on a tanker loaded with bits you like less. When you want to give up get back in the tugboat, and the tanker will turn too in time.

Do You Struggle To Find Time For Wellbeing? - Day 533

Do you worry which day of The Daily Do's done? Can't find the time to put life's pressures down?  That's ok.  Switch on and breathe deeply in the queue for your lunch, tune in to your breath and then follow a hunch.  Sit in the car and feel your hands on the wheel.  See the trees, hear the birds, say, "I am, I feel."  Feel the beat of your heart, a precious moment to unfurl, inhale your connection to this infinite world.  The road to your happiness isn’t something you 'must do', it’s already inside, it’s the stillness of you.

Do You Want To Feel Good Today? - Day 532

"How good do I want to feel?" is a wonderful memo to have a morning routine of presence and calm. From there lies endeavour, excitement and truth, a humble start to the greatest of plans. A morning routine brings a daily rebalance, a setting of still, before you go out there and dance.

Do You Ever Simply STOP? - Day 531

Stop! Put down the tools of haste and indecision in your hand, peer into the present, feast your eyes upon the land. Stop! Become aware of life’s energy coursing through you now, stretch your eyes into the distant wonderment of how. Stop! Cast off the weight of thinking and allow the power of peace, puncture the trance of 'I must do', unwind and simply be.

Do You Want To Live A Larger Life? - Day 530

To do the things we want to but that our feelings say 'avoid', this is the way to a larger life, lived fully and enjoyed. And to do this you can use 'anchor thoughts' to help you, to reach for when you’re doing something your feelings don’t want you to. Anchor thoughts are emotional triggers that take you to a relaxed and confident place, a thought and feeling you recall when there’s a challenge in your way.
