A day at a time.
Each of us has 24 hrs. or 1440 minutes everyday that we are alive. What we tend to forget is that we are responsible for how we spend that time. We find ourselves running here and going there flopping around like a chicken with its head cut off. At the end of our day, we are mad at ourselves because we haven’t accomplished anything for the day.
So when you start to fall into this trap of not getting anything done, being mad at yourself, it is time to start a list in the morning of things to do and the time you estimate they’ll take. No, I don’t want you to turn into a list maker, but a time user. Once your mind has a plan, it will help you put that plan into motion.
Sounds simple it is – the big boys call it time management – I call it getting my act together to accomplish my goals with speed, ease, comfort and joy.
When lying to yourself is OK.
There are 2 types of lies – positive and negative. Your job is to determine which ones you are telling yourself daily.
Positive lies are based on Fake It Till You Make it – which is the way you program your subconscious mind. You must make a habit of starting your day using the method(s) you have chosen to change your life. It is those methods that help you lie to yourself for positive outcomes.
You are negatively lying to yourself, if you are a constantly blaming everyone else for where you are in life today. This is the easiest lie to live with – it takes all responsibility off your back.
Ask the question which type of liar are you? A positive liar or a negative liar. The nice thing about life – you get to decide.
