Do You Want The Best Advice? - Day 525

Take a minute, step back and love yourself as your best friend, then say what you would say in the way you would to them. If you spoke to friends as you do to yourself you’d have no friends at all, so rewrite the inner voice that makes you feel weak or small. Clearly picture where you’re at and any challenges you face, then lovingly give yourself advice having gained a little space. Use words you’d use for others, and cut out words you would not use, guide yourself with love and care, not anger and abuse.

Do You Overthink What People Say? - Day 523

Free yourself, read good intentions into all that comes your way, then feel the flow of optimism as good feelings fill your day. 

Do You Know What You Want? - Day 522

Courage is intangible if you don’t know what you want, and so it comes as and when your vision is up front. And to know what you want you must be still be find some peace, sit in silence with yourself and hear what’s underneath. As with all great truths the simplicity of this can blind us to it’s power, that without the seed in fertile soil there will not be a flower. Stillness, vision, courage, action...

Do You Need To Get Away From It All? - Day 521

Stand back from click, scroll, call and send, take a long squint at your life.

Majesty, infinity, the universal view! Get outside and get right sized, then you’ll see what’s right for you.
