Default Thought For Today - June

A Quiet Day

Shhh! Make today a quiet day. There's no need to retreat from the world. Carry on with your schedule as planned, just practice being quieter than normal. There's no need to stop talking, just talk less. By being quiet in your mind as well as in your interactions, you might just find yourself observing and accomplishing more. Being quiet might even fuel your creativity and clarity. If you enjoy your quiet day, then maybe practice 'a quiet day' weekly or monthly.

The Nature of Peace

Most of us find it easy to find peace in nature. Whether it's the waves on a beach, the green in the park, the rolling hills, the colors of a sunset....

But did you know that peace is your natural nature? Daily, remind yourself:
I am a being of peace. Think it, feel it, be it and you'll nurture your nature of peace.

Then, no matter where you are or what happens, you'll find inner peace.

Compete or Complement

Often when a group of people are working together, there's a tendency to compete with each other. This can enhance motivation but it can also weaken teamwork.

How about we learn to complement each other, rather than compete.

When we complement, the interplay of our diverse skills and expertise creates strength and synergy. This can enhance our ability to excel individually and compensate for each other's weaknesses.

Those Awkward Moments

We've all experienced awkward moments, falling in front of everyone, the silence after a bad joke, forgetting someone's name....

And when it happens, do you act like it didn't happen? Make fun of yourself? Cringe with embarrassment? Keep replaying the moment in your head?

How about recognizing the humor behind the awkward moment and laughing it off. Embrace awkwardness and you'll make the moment more enjoyable and easier to move on.

At Home in the Body

Think of the body as your home. Just as your home needs regular repairs, improvements and cleaning, in the same way, give the necessary time, attention and care to your body.

Visit the doctor, dentist, optician when you need to. Keep fit, eat well and nourish the body with healthy thoughts.

Be comfortable in your own skin and feel at home in your body. Why not, think about treating your body as you would your dream home.

Go Getter, Go Giver

It's good to be a go getter! But why not be a go giver as well as a go getter. Take action and make things happen, but at the same time, give.

Give what you want to give. Give your time, attention, ideas, knowledge, compassion, smile.... Give through your mind, words, actions, presence....

Just keep going, keep getting things done and keep giving.

Beyond the Surface

Most of the time, we skim over the surface without exploring what's below. So take time to look beyond the surface. See the people behind the structures; the intentions behind the actions. Look deeply to understand and respond wisely.

Spark Your Creativity

Creativity often gets buried under routine, responsibility and simple neglect. So the next time you’re in a creative rut, do something to find your spark again. Make time to delve into art. Visit a gallery, a studio, a museum; or look through art books, posters or photographs. Absorb the art, the colors, the contrasts, and spark your creativity.

Strengths Inventory

This week, make time to take an inventory of your strengths. List them.

Decide if you want to invest & further develop your strengths. Make sure you affirm & spend time in your strengths frequently.

When you know & work your strengths, you maximize their impact, contribute more value, & take better advantage of opportunities.

Attention to Distraction

When we're driving we have to pay attention to the road, the traffic, the route and all the different things happening around us. If we get distracted, then this affects how we drive and how we respond to the unexpected.

In the same way, at other times too, to respond to the unexpected and do things effectively:
1. Understand: Distractions are everywhere and will always be there. Getting
distracted is a choice.
2. Pay attention to what's happening around you and at the same time,
choose not to get distracted.

Trusting Each Other

In each other we trust, or do we? Trust is such an important element in our relationships, so examine if you really trust the people in your life.

If you want to trust others more, try to find a shared vision or something to appreciate about them. Choose to look for the good and see the best, and watch your trust grow.

Extend more trust. Be careful and cautious when caution is called for. Trust more sensibly.

Punctuate Your Thoughts

Putting your punctuation in the right place matters, right! Do you punctuate the thoughts in your mind?

Insert commas to separate & slow down your thoughts, question marks for contemplation & problem solving, exclamation marks to emphasize & accentuate, & most importantly, apply a full stop. Put a full stop to end any unnecessary & unproductive thoughts. Use a full stop to create closure when you go from one conversation, task, situation... to another.

Punctuate your thoughts & you'll develop better mastery over your mind.

Young at Heart

Feel young at heart? You've heard the saying, "you're only as old as you feel." Or even, "you're only as young as you feel."

No matter what age you are, here are 3 things to keep you feeling young at heart:
1. Embrace your age and the aging process.
2. Stay curious and keep learning something new.
3. Find something to laugh about in everything.

Take Up Courage

When we get disappointed and disheartened, we often stop and give up. That's when it's important to renew our courage and enthusiasm. This week, choose one thing that you've given up on that you would really like to take up once again. Hold onto courage, think "I am going to find a way to make things happen", and then create a plan and work on it. You'll find that one step of courage brings multifold help - from others and situations.

Be Punctual

Be punctual. To arrive early, or right on time, is a sign of respect for yourself and others. By being punctual you reduce your stress levels and avoid causing inconvenience to others. The key is planning. Allow extra time in your preparations and for any delays. Remember, getting ready, even locking the door, catching the lift, walking to the car, the tube… all takes time. Maybe, the secret to punctuality is as simple as waking up when you’re supposed to wake up!
