Thought For Today - February
Full of Drama
Take life as it is, full of drama and adventure. Experience the fun and the excitement, if not, it’ll turn into melodrama! So, the next time things get dramatic in your life, add the ingredient of humor and go from feeling heavy to being light. Lighten up and you’ll lighten up the situation; going from melodrama to enjoying the drama of life.

Free Your Mind
Whenever your mind is full of worries & anxieties, rather than letting it all stew, you're much better off letting it all go. Try this simple letting go exercise: Find a quiet space. Put on some relaxing music. Sit comfortably. Now imagine holding dozens of colored balloons. These balloons represent your worries & anxieties. Slowly release the balloons, one at a time. Watch your thoughts rise higher & higher, becoming smaller & smaller, a dot in the distance, until they vanish. Find a simple way to let go & free your mind.

A Positive Presence
We all carry and communicate a certain presence that influences almost everyone around us. The question is: Does my presence have a positive or a negative impact? Do people around me feel comfortable and, or empowered in my presence? If you want to communicate a more positive presence, cultivate positive intentions and feelings and become less distracted, more present and more authentic.

Making Your Commute More Enjoyable
Do you commute to work? Ever complain about it? Complaining saps energy and wrecks the mood. Why not make your commute more enjoyable. Read something entertaining or educational, insightful or informative, fictional or funny. Listen to music or podcasts. Respond to emails or edit work related documents. Think about the day ahead or how the day went. Do what works for you and you might just start enjoying the time that commuting offers you.

Extending Your Trust
We want to trust others. We want to believe in the inherent goodness of others. But it's a challenge to extend our trust, simply because trust can be broken so easily. Even then, we want to extend our trust because when we give trust, not only do we get it back but it also brings out the best in others. So, extend your trust, but maybe not to everyone. Get better at choosing wisely who you trust, what you trust them with, and when to withdraw your trust.

Past is Past
Most of us revisit the past. The past is important but if we keep on revisiting it, we miss out on all that the present moment has to offer. Starting from today, remind yourself: The past is past. The past is always past and we are always in the present moment. Let the past be the past and you'll make the most of all that the present moment has to offer. And then, if you do revisit the past, do it productively.

The Waiting Game
How often do you find yourself playing the waiting game? Waiting for someone else’s decision, waiting to see someone, waiting for things to happen …. What do you do whilst waiting? Waiting unproductively is a waste of time. Acting productively increases the value of time. What will you do to NOT lose in the ‘waiting game’ again? Maybe read, make those phone calls ….

Self-Limiting Beliefs
How often do you hear yourself say, “I can’t”, “I’m not able” or “I never will”? Can you identify self-limiting beliefs you have about yourself? Can you then challenge them and say: “I can”, “I’m able”, “I will”? Choose self beliefs that work for you, beliefs that give you a chance to succeed.

Your Relationship With Life
What's your relationship with life? Complicated? Healthy? Depends on how life's treating you? A relationship is a two way street, not a one way, so don't just base your relationship on how life treats you. Think about how you treat life. One way to better your relationship with life is to daily recollect: a) what life gave you today. b) what you gave to life today.

Making A Request
If you need to make a request, just speak up and ask. Just phrase your request clearly, simply and concisely. And if you don't get what you asked for, understand that a no to your request doesn't mean a no to you - because you are not the request.

When Necessary Becomes Unnecessary
We have to think about our daily life, meals, tasks.... It's a necessary part of making daily life effective. But if we keep thinking about it all the time, then the necessary becomes unnecessary. To make daily life effective, think, but think when it's necessary. When you find yourself thinking unnecessarily, say to your thoughts, “not now, later.” Or say, “I’ve already thought this through, no need to think more.” Just put a full stop to the unnecessary.

The Love We Want
All we want, all that anyone wants, is love. We want it, but expect it to come or happen to us. But the love we want is actually within us, it's in our heart, in our soul. Instead of expecting love, realize: I am love. Believe it and feel it. Love who you are, as you are. Love others as they are. Love all that you have. Love what you do.

Fall in Love with Yourself
You’re the most important person in your life, so, fall in love with yourself! How? By appreciating the best in you – your qualities, your inner beauty. If you don’t love you how do you expect others to love you? And when you love yourself, you’re able to love others unconditionally.

Walk your Talk
When there’s a gap between what you say and what you do, both your integrity and people’s trust in you seeps away. Make effort to close the gap between your words and actions. Walk your talk. Don’t make promises you can’t deliver. Do what you say you’re going to do.
