Living Life Today – Sweet or Sour – what will Your day be like?

“The Living Life Today series provides a platform to think about your Life as it is Now, enjoy what you have, review and create an even better future for tomorrow“….. Short, sharp & easily digestible.

Starting your day on the right footing will greatly improve the chances of your entire day being in flow.

Being excited about each day has it’s upside…and it’s a Huge one!…because there are no downsides.

Being excited and having a positive attitude at your side is the sweet side of Life.

Do you look forward to each day?

Do you enjoy what you do?

If you answered “Yes” then you are living the sweet Life.

I view my Life as one to be lived not one to just exist in. Simply being Alive is justification to be excited!…..it’s not something to take for granted…and it’s definitely sweet. Living the sweet life allows the opportunity to learn, grow, love, share & explore. What’s not to be excited about that!

…..and that’s sweet!

If things have soured for you and you don’t look forward to your day, try to see the other side of the coin. I know it’s difficult because I have been there.

Flip your day upside down. Picture how you want your day to be like and then find some leverage to start on the improvement process. Now this is not a ‘quick fix’ by any means. However, by altering  or shaking up your present thought processes, may just open up a crack wide enough to allow some sweet light to find it’s way through.

This will be the start of your recovery to the sweeter side of Life.

Be good to yourselves

Living Life Today – Shades of grey, bursts of colour

Posted on by

“The Living Life Today series provides a platform to think about your Life as it is Now, enjoy what you have, review and create an even better future for tomorrow“….. Short, sharp & easily digestible.

Life can be like that. A lot of sameness (shades of grey) with the occasional burst of vitality & excitement (colour).

Your Life can have as much colour or grey in it as you like. Depends on your perspective, really. And it depends on how exciting or how ordinary you want your Life to be.

I ask you, do you have continual ‘greyness’ or is their a liberal splash of colour in your day?

Two examples…..Consider your thoughts. You can have the same old, same old day in day out where “grey” outweighs any vibrant colours. Meaning, you can continue to think the same thoughts or you can look to inject some fresh thinking into your life…..a healthy splash of “colour”.

Consider your Attitude. A poor or negative attitude will block out any colour in your Life. It’s like continual cloudy days without the vivid blue skies. An attitude of vibrancy, of excitement will push away the ‘grey’ and add colour to your Life.

Fresh thinking & fresh attitude = colours of the rainbow.

Would you rather have grey skies or a rainbow for a companion?

be good to yourselves

How to achieve goals worth achieving…..the 4 vital ingredients

Posted on by
6

Setting goals is one thing, achieving them something different altogether.

And achieving the ones that count…..well that’s at another level again.

We have many goals of varying sizes that we set out to achieve/accomplish during our Life. Upon reflection and being realistic, many of these are “tasks” rather than goals.

Goals are more dynamic than tasks. Goals require deliberate effort. Real goals have real meaning.

Now that’s out of the way, how do we achieve the goals that are worth achieving?

I suggest to start with, you break down the many activities, ideas, actions that are going on in your life. Break them down to a “must do” list and a “can do when I have the time list”.

The must do’s will be the ones that get your juices flowing. These will be the deal breakers. These should have the attention of the bulk of your ‘goal time’. These are the ones that will give you the greatest satisfaction. The greatest achievement.   These goals will be worth the effort.

When I sorted my “must do list”, I needed to test what goals were really worth achieving. I established for myself a benchmark. Any goal that I wanted to set had to pass this test otherwise it was dispatched to the when I have the time to do list.

This benchmark I call “The four Got To’s”…

It’s got to have meaning

It’s got to be exciting

It’s got to give value

It’s got to feel rewarding

Now you may have noticed I used the word “set”. This post is about “achieving goals”. The thing I have found personally and with my coaching clients is that when you set goals with the above benchmarks you are well on the way to achieving these same goals.

These benchmarks influence your thoughts and actions along the way. They drive you forward.

Let’s look at these a little more closely:

Meaning…I have written about this in more detail previously (click the link). This is all powerful. Meaning will vary from person to person however it’s something that is “deep” for each of us. When it has sufficient ‘meaning’, you will see it thru.

Excitement…well, my previous post covered this. If it’s not exciting then I seriously suggest you find some excitement within the goal or put it aside. Excitement needs to be a big part of your Life.

Value… personally and professionally, for yourself and/or for others. It has to be worth your investment of time and effort.

Rewarding… similar to value however I am not talking money here. I feel that each goal that I achieve helps me grow. It’s like a building block, each one stacked upon the other sends you upward where the view is so much better.The reward is in the effort…and the growth.

How are your Goals looking? Are you spending a lot of your time on “tasks” rather than meaningful goals?

be good to yourselves

One dose of Excitement…followed by another…and another

Posted on by
16

I like Excitement. In fact, I am excited about Excitement.

After the previous post when unfortunately Life was sucking a little, it’s time for a rebound!

I see a major challenge for many, including myself at times, is being able to draw excitement even from the most mundane of activities & seemingly boring of moments.

If you truly seek every exciting moment possible then it can be done. I am convinced of that. I wrote a post a little while back where I suggested that you be excited by your Life.

Today we will give our Life some enduring excitement.

Actually, while I think of it…..Your Purpose in Life is to be excited, about your Life. Now that you have found your “calling”, you can get on with it…..and live excitingly.

and this is where it starts. If you have no want to be excited about anything that your life has to offer, then I’m sorry. This story is not for you.

Let us set the scene…What is “excitement”?

It’s likely different things to different people. It may not be jump out of your skin type excitement or a shout it from the roof top type of deal (or may be it is). It could be an inner warmth, a knowing, a tingling sensation.

It may just be satisfaction that all is well. Or a satisfaction in knowing that all will be well, if things are a little off balance for now.

You will probably have your own excitement barometers and that’s fine. Whatever it is, be excited and maintain a vein of excitement throughout everything you do, feel, touch & say. At the end of the day (sorry about the cliche)…….Excitement is an Attitude.

To access this attitude you will need to push aside conflicting attitudes. Like…attitudes of doubt, of procrastination, of fear, of overall negativity.

Excitement is contagious, much like a positive attitude. So passing this excitement along can only be good. It all starts with You. Say “Yes” to excitement.

The recommended dosage of excitement depends upon your need for either an internalised excitement (feeling warm & fuzzy but don’t want anyone else to know) OR externalised excitement (where you are doing hand stands or something similarily outrageous)…..measure accordingly.

Simply take the dosage that is right for you and which maintains your attitude of excitement. The correct dosage, taken daily, will prolong your Life and keep it at the level which you deserve. It will also gladly infect (and affect) those with whom you come in contact.

So who’s with me for having an exciting Life?

be good to yourselves

Living Life Today – be Excited about your Life

Well, are you?…excited by Life that is

Do you look forward to each day?

Do you enjoy what you do?

I see so many “lost souls” meandering through their day seemingly stuck in a ‘trance like’ mode.

I have flat spots during my week, I’m sure that we all do however I always find a trigger point to get me back into excitement mode. It could be anything however it always starts with a thought & I see the key to excitement is “thinking excitement”, with the emphasis on the “thinking” part.

You see, I view my Life as one to be lived not one to just exist in. Simply being Alive is justification to be excited!…..it’s not something to take for granted. It’s the opportunity to learn, grow, love, share & explore. What’s not to be excited about that!

Being excited draws all the “happenings” to you…naturally. Excitement creates energy & vibration…it can’t help but draw same to you. C’mon join in!

So, what excites you!…Let me know in the comments below

To get the ball rolling:

I am excited by the early morning sun, by endless possibilities that can enter my day, by my daughters’ evolving maturity, by nature, by new friends coming into my Life, by my thoughts and imagination…..and I could go on but I won’t, it’s over to you…

Be good to yourselves
