Get to Bed on Time

Are you a sleep procrastinator? You want to go to bed on time, but you don't. So what will you do to stop procrastinating?

Here are two tips that may help you get to bed on time:
1. Get strict and set a specific bedtime, or, set a ‘window’ of about an hour or so, to go to bed.
2. Set an alarm or a timer to remind you to put the book down, or to step away from the screen and turn off the lights.

Seeds of Patience

When making things happen, no matter how much hard we work we put in, we don't always see immediate results. That's because making things happen is similar to planting seeds. Seeds need time to grow, some germinate right away & others take longer.

Put in the effort to make things happen. Then grow seeds of patience. Be patient & see the seeds grow & show the wonder that lies within… a flower, a plant, a tree, a fruit..

Drop Your Thoughts

When your thoughts are scattered all over the place, try this: gather your scattered thoughts, gather all your worries, stress and anxieties, and bring them all together. Hold them in your mind like a ball, and then drop the ball. Watch your thoughts bounce away into the distance. Then let your mind breathe.

Bridge or a Barrier?

Are you building bridges or creating barriers? Not literally, but in terms of the relationships between people. Do you choose to build better connections between people, maybe even strengthening existing ones?

Especially look at the impressions you create about others to others. Are you building a bridge or a barrier?

Things You Own

Do you use everything you own? Haven’t got round to using some things because you don't know where you've put things?

Find things easily and make better use of what you own by:
1. De-cluttering your space. Throw out anything that's not functional. Recycle or
donate things you no longer use.
2. Organizing your stuff. Keep what you use regularly, accessible. Put everything
else in its place. `

Expand Your Focus

Often we get too caught up in the detailed scenes of our lives. When we get too caught in the hurt, the pain, the stress, the anxiety, our focus becomes so narrow, that at these times, we can't always see what else is possible.

Of course the details are important, but you may want to expand your focus and look at how the details fit into the big picture. See the situation as one scene in the entire drama of life. Feel better about your life and you’ll be able to see what else is possible.

Smile. It's Contagious.

Smile at the world and the world will smile back at you.

Smile at someone and, most likely, the person receiving your smile can’t help but smile back. It really is contagious. Experiment and get as many smiles back as possible.

A Clean Slate

When we've had an unpleasant encounter with someone, it's not so easy to approach them again, with a clean slate. But a clean slate is worth pursuing and practicing.

Drop the history you share and wipe the slate clean. If it's not easy to clean the slate, then approach them as if it's your first encounter with them. Of course it all depends on the person, the context and the history you share.

Want More Space?

Do you love space... space in your cupboards, in your life? Declutter your home, your work space, your digital life.... and create space.

Tackle your clutter hotspots. Throw out, recycle, simplify. File, unsubscribe, delete. Declutter, create space and breathe, focus, relax.

Right to Be Right

Who doesn't enjoy being right? But if we didn’t need to be right in every discussion, we might just see things differently and learn from other perspectives. We might also understand that 'right' is a matter of perspective.

If you can’t give up your right to be right, then be right and yet at the same time be open to other people’s perspectives.

Feel Comfortable in Your Skin

We look in the mirror every day, but the question is do you like what you see? Skin’s not perfect enough, teeth not white enough, hair not glossy enough…. Now go and look in the mirror, and say to yourself, ‘I am enough.’

Let go of how you used to look, how you should look like and what you would like to change. Get more and more comfortable in your skin, and really feel that you are enough.

Priorities in Harmony

Are your priorities in harmony with the priorities of others, at home and at work? What's urgent and important for one person is not for another. We all have different priorities.

For less frustration and more harmony:
- communicate your priorities to others, at home and at work
- respect the other person’s priorities
- know when to adjust your priorities, and when not to.

Be an Alchemist

Like an alchemist, transform something worthless into something precious. The key to alchemy is in your perception. Look for the limitless possibilities that surround you. See the innate value of everything and turn lead into gold. Focus on the pure gold within each one. You may have to overlook the visible lead to seek the hidden gold!

Be A Tourist

Imagine being a tourist in your own life... You may find that it puts you in a totally different state of mind. It may make you more curious to explore things that are out of your comfort zone, maybe start conversations with new people or eat something new. You might find it easier to brush off the little annoyances.

Be a tourist and see how it changes your reality.
