To speak or not to speak
Words are energy that cannot be taken back. Do you weigh your words carefully or do your words just ‘spill out’? Today, develop the art to know when to speak and when not to!

Traveling Light
Carrying excess baggage slows us down. Imagine being on a hiking trip and carrying a heavy backpack, filled with unnecessary things … Do the negative memories you hang on to serve you any purpose? In order to live the life you want to live, you have to let go of the life you led.

Speaking of Butterflies
Do you get butterflies when you have to speak in front of a crowd? What exactly scares you? What's the worst that can happen? Talk through your fears and reduce your nervousness. If not, then simply accept the fear. Breathe and release any nervous energy through your eyes, hands, and feet. Smile, say hello, and start speaking. Watch those butterflies fly away!

Trust Life
Trust life. Being trusting doesn't mean not being careful. Be careful and be sensible. Just trust life a little bit more. Trust that life presents situations for you to grow and develop. Trust that life knows your potential for greatness. Trust that life wants to nurture you into being a better person. Trust that life is there for your happiness and fulfillment, no matter how else it may seem.

Acknowledge Yourself
At the end of the day when you're getting ready for bed, look at yourself in the mirror and acknowledge: 1) Your accomplishments from the day. 2) What you learnt today. 3) That being you is enough, you are enough. Everyday, acknowledge yourself and show yourself respect.

People's Opinion of You
Everything about you speaks volumes to others. And everyone is going to have an opinion about you. You can't stop people having their opinion, but what you do with those opinions is entirely up to you. Are you going to let it bother you, be offended, worry about it, do something to change their opinion...? How are you going to handle people's opinion of you?

Make Friends with Your Mind
The mind is where everything starts, the good, the bad and the ugly. To get the best out of your mind, learn to harness it. How? Make it your friend. Good friends are honest and they very kindly tell you when you might be messing up. But they certainly don't call you every morning with a list of everything that's wrong with you. So don't let your mind tell you things that you would probably never accept from a friend. Start befriending the mind and your mind will be a good friend to you!

Iceberg of Conflict
Conflicts are like icebergs. What you see or understand is only a portion of what's really happening. So, take time to explore your iceberg of conflict. Look below the words and actions that fueled the conflict. Uncover your emotions, unrealistic expectations, preconceived perceptions and everything else that lies beneath the surface. Sort out what’s going on inside before you sort things out externally to resolve the conflict.

Make and Break a Habit
Do you want to break a habit? Well remember, the more you think about what you don't want, the more you strengthen the negative habit. To break a habit, simply replace the negative habit with a positive habit. Put your energy into creating the new habit, by breaking it down into manageable steps. To make the new habit stick, monitor your progress by checking regularly. When you falter and revert to your old ways, simply recommit to the new habit. Remember to enjoy the process!

Just because we are in recovery, doesn't mean we can't slip back into old habits and patterns. They are the familiar, we just have to recognize them for what they are. Even if it is a new habit, perhaps it no longer serves you, and it too needs to change.
Needed this for myself, it cause me to isolate, which is a very bad habit.

A Tactful Approach
Whether you have to decline a request or give critical feedback, it's important to be honest, assertive and direct. But you don't want to hurt someone's feelings, especially in front of others. Instead try a tactful approach. Be appropriately honest, assertive and direct. Say the right thing, at the right time, in the right place, and you're more likely to get a positive outcome.

A Collection of Ideas
Ideas are great. And the more ideas we collect, the more there is to be influenced & inspired by. But if your collection of ideas is messy, maybe it's time for a spring clean. Throw out or delete the ideas that are going nowhere. For the really good ideas that you want to & have to keep, separate them into different categories & organize them better. Try collecting selectively, rather than collecting ideas for anything & everything.

Mindful Moments
Practice being mindful everyday. Not for the whole day, just during ONE routine activity. It can be when you're eating, brushing teeth, washing dishes, walking, cleaning, writing.... Simply be alert and pay attention to what you are doing. Be fully focused in the present moment. If your mind begins to drift, just bring it back to what you are doing. Do a little bit of this everyday and not only will you get things done faster and better, but you'll also improve your concentration and your ability to relax.
