It’s a short but extremely powerful list. Think of it as your garden to care for.
1. Respond with Love and Warmth because ALL communication is either a cry for help or a loving response.
2. Every morning when you awake and every night before you sleep come up with 3 things (or more) you are Grateful for. Share multiple Appreciations throughout the day, even to those you may not (give that pattern a try).
3. Be like a child – Curious. Ever see a look on a kids face when they discover something cool?
4. Act Excited and Passionate – fake it till you make it if you have to, eventually with practice you will get there. Try it for just 7 days if you don’t believe me. Do it physically by speeding up your pace, your arm movements, your speech. Get louder.
5. Get Determined to accomplish something. Make it a MUST.
6. Sometimes to be successful you have to change your approach, right? Allow yourself the freedom and power to be Flexible in the rules you make and the meanings you assign to things. Life is for you and not what happens to you, we all have had and will have circumstances we must go through.
7. Faith and Confidence – adopting a belief that everything is in perfect order even though it may not make sense to you at the time is extremely powerful. Removing the voice of doubt will allow you to move from point A where you are right now to Point B where you want to be.
8. Find a way to be Cheerful. Why be dour or morose or depressed? Does it get you what you want? Again find a way, find a helper, find a doctor, find a counselor, find a pastor, find a coach because you have the answers inside you already, you just need someone to help you unbury them.
9. Physical activity – walk, jog, swim, skate, pedal, row, dance or if you are unable to do those things then do breathing exercises and some type of movement to circulate the fluids which are not part of the circulatory system. We are engines, we consume fuel and like fire we burn it up. You need oxygen to do that – Oxygenate/Move.
10. Go help someone, my mom once told me money is like blood it is meant to circulate. You can also give time, energy, compassion, love. Give to Live.
That’s it. I hope you get something out of this, I sure did.
