Do you choose your thoughts consciously?

by

Owning that you, me, we CAN choose our thoughts is huge.

It means that we are at choice and can choose the WAY we think.

Taking personal responsibility for our own thoughts has a direct correlation with what we create in our own lives. The types of experiences we create in our own lives.

We decide the extent external factors impact us. We choose.

This goes deeper than “Positivity” this is about day to day decisions. Day to day choices, to choose the way we think.

Some people don’t even realise that they CAN choose the way they think. Do you?

When did you first realize that you could actually choose the way you think and the thoughts you think?

Where / when did you discover this?

Today I am present to whatever I experience

by

Being PRESENT is a gift.

You know the saying right ? Yesterday’s History. Tomorrow’s a Mystery. Today is a gift, that’s why they call it The Present!

Be where you are and you will have a much more connected life.

Be WHERE YOU ARE…..Here are the benefits:

  1. People around you will feel seen
  2. Your listening will increase
  3. You will remember things better
  4. You will burn less energy
  5. Worry reduces

Can you think of any more?

Our clients report many benefits from being more present to what they experience in the moment of now. At work and at home. Inside ALL relationships with others.

P.S The only thing you get from looking back? Is a sore neck.

So, please be present and be HERE, the past has gone.

No matter what has gone on, all we can do is deal with now.

It is important to think in relative terms of NOW. Now, today. Here, now, today. Be here, now. This is key for a positive mindset.

Are you Thinking Possibilities or Limitations? What’s working or what’s Not?

by

There are always more options and possibilities than you might be able to see right now.

The way to “see” those possibilities is to believe you will see them.

The way to “see” those possibilities is to understand that there are possibilities that exist , even if you can’t see them yet.

Focusing on the clear path rather than obstacles is a skill in itself. It is a skill to develop via practice and discipline.

Ask yourself today “What possibilities exist that I can’t see right now?” Remember the secret is to condition yourself to begin to “see the unseen”.

How? Keep asking yourself this question, “what possibilities exist that I can’t see right now?” then…Let it go like a balloon – and notice what solution based thoughts enter your mind space when you are relaxed.

Would you like more support? Visit us at: #ThePositiveThinkingJourney#TheReinventionProject

Let’s keep going down this path…this one is GOLD! We love it!

Think about what IS working! What IS going well! What IS going smoothly?

If something isn’t that obvious to you? Then try harder. Focus your thoughts on what IS working, even if it’s a little thing.

Do you agree it’s way to easy to focus on what is NOT working (especially when you are a high performer). So this post is all about focusing on what IS WORKABLE. So take some time NOW to reflect on what is working and what IS workable from your perspective – rather than what is NOT.

So no matter what is going on, you get to see, hope! See options, light, potential and possibilities!

Thinking in itself is a fantastic resource.

by

How do you RATE your own THINKING as a RESOURCE?

The faculty of thinking is a gift. To think through things. To think about things. To think on things.

Thinking and the ability to problem solve is truly worth acknowledging and celebrating.

No matter the size of the problem before you: you can always INCREASE your own capacity to think through and lean into your inner resources.

Ok, so here’s some questions:

What are you thinking?
What are your thoughts?
What do you think (about)?

The simple purpose of these questions is to have you pay attention to your thinking. What is the quality of them? What are you ACTUALLY thinking about most?

Our resource of thinking brings us to choice.

Think about your choices. 4 little words that mean so much if you really ponder them.

Sometimes it appears we have limited choices. In times like this always tell yourself to “Think about my choices”.

Telling yourself this opens up your mind to spot the choices you may not have seen otherwise. ALWAYS THINK ABOUT YOUR CHOICES. Cultivate this thought and you will feel options open up.

This is how we use or thinking resource.

Let’s Talk Resilience

by

I’d really like to raise the topic of resilience.

What do YOU believe the PILLARS of RESILIENCE are in your own experience?

Where does RESILIENCE come from? Is it through experience? Is it from failures? Is it from things NOT falling in your favor all the time?

Is it figuring out WORK-AROUNDS?
How do you BELIEVE RESILIENCE is best cultivated inside your own ….

  1. Leadership Philosophy
  2. Business Models
  3. Communication Style
  4. Business Relationships

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. And most of all – you FEEL that talking resilience is of value right now?

In our work we talk about how VULNERABILITY is actually a STRENGTHENER. When mates are able to be vulnerable, it creates scars and scar tissue which cause tighter and better bonding afterwards.

I love the analogy of SCAR-TISSUE because it is something we can all relate to.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and comments below on what RESILIENCE means for you and your business right now…AND

How do you cultivate it to get through tough moments… ?

Intuition.

by

The moments of zero pressure, openness, spaciousness, quietness are the moments when INTUITION can rise up from within us and dance and play.

These moments cannot be forced. They rise up in their own. This creative force is what helps make us human.

The spontaneity FEELS good. It SITS well.

When we are intuitive, we can be productive. We can produce. We can connect.

When we are forced, we are rigid, we are robotic, mechanical.

Yet, sometimes like squeezing an orange, we can force out the best essence with self imposed pressure.

The conditions to cause intuition can be designed.

How can you create an environment that inspires your intuition to come out and play?

How can your intuition serve you to become more innovative?

How will you invent more?

What REALLY limits your imagination?

Some of the best ideas and inventions came from a genius locked in a room for days.

What is the most Consistent aspect of you?

by

If someone was to sit on the other side of you. Sit opposite you. Time and time again.

What would they see about YOU that is THE MOST CONSISTENT ASPECT of you?

This is a super important part of understanding your particular brand of leadership.

This is also super important for you to connect with the MOST uncomplicated leadership you can deliver.

Why?

Because the MORE AUTHENTIC you are. The MORE you, you bring to the way you show up as a leader?

The LESS COMPLICATED it needs to be.

Let’s Talk Preparation…

by

When we talk about PREPARATION, it’s most important to start with a question:

What’s your FOCUS?

Is your focus, (and has it been really) to KNOW YOUR NUMBERS?

The numbers track all the activity. And when people panic or get too emotional, they focus on the wrong things.

Focus on what you WANT to CREATE is super important right now.

And make steps towards that.

Knowing numbers is a key piece to this puzzle that could be being missed.

What is your business COSTING you? REALLY?

For instance, the business language for that may be CONSOLIDATION.

CONSOLIDATION of what you do have, and doing a stock take of what we KEEP and what we THROW out.

We KEEP what’s NEEDED

We THROW out what’s NOT

This is a simplistic way to look at things, however it’s a good start.

BACK TO BASICS.

So CLEANING HOUSE becomes part of the PREPARATION.

Cleaning house is something we ALL can do now.

It’s something that we ALL can do going forward.

So long as BASIC needs are met (I’m thinking MASLOW’s HEIRACHY OF NEEDS) then, you can function.

If you have your basics in place you have time to THINK clearly. You have time to be STRATEGIC and you have time to PREPARE.

So, if you’re NOT feeling PREPARED right now, or you weren’t prepared, what within that is IN your control.

Did you mis-understand, or not understand what you needed to?

Did you not see what you needed to see? Were you distracted?

(This at a personal level is actually what #ownyourowneconomy is all about).

Understanding the USE of our BUSINESS RESULTS to SET up our PERSONAL results.

Part of Preparation is about resetting what SUCCESS means for YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR LOVED ONES, YOUR TEAMS.

And the GLUE to that is actually CARE, SUPPORT & EDUCATION.

The one thing that I believe HELPS and SUPPORTS PREPARATION and CUTS through PANIC and HIGHLY CHARGED EMOTION is KNOWING YOUR NUMBERS.

Really know your numbers: What it costs you to live in a way that sits well with you. What inflows of cash you need to meet all your commitments. And of course if you need to then adjust those commitments, negotiation and do so.

The secret is CASH-FLOW. Cash-flow is blood to our lives and our companies.

To create and keep cash-flow going, we must have the foundations and basics right.

Keeping ourselves in check on this, being well intended and calm is key.

The quality of our life and business that we create, begins with the quality of our character.

Meeting the needs and wants of others, produces good inflows.

Character is everything in times like this.

We MUST apply ourselves to what MUST be done to GET through. And take the steps that get us there.

Education and Learning about handling what cash-flow we do have and monitoring costs is a key theme for ourselves and those who work with us.

If you’re the owner, do your people understand a balance sheet?

If you’re an employee, do you understand a balance sheet? High level? In detail?

If not, make it your business to LEARN FAST. Know your NUMBERS.

Life has a way of teaching us what we need to know, even if it’s uncomfortable.
