Default Thought For Today - December

Energy Expenditure

Energy, like money, has to be regained after you’ve spent it, or you end up going into a deficit. When there’s a deficit, check your energy expenditure and make space to recover your energy. Maybe, you can avoid getting into an energy deficit and strive towards staying energized, consistently.

Calm Your Christmas

It's that wonderful time of the year, when we start to feel a little tired, a little stressed, as we get caught up in the Christmas rush!

Calm your Christmas & make it easy with these 3 tips:
1. Plan well (be realistic) & just do it. Avoid over-thinking what needs to get done.
2. Take care of yourself. Eat healthy, keep hydrated & get enough sleep.
3. Above all, enjoy what you do.

Trust Your Life

No matter how it may seem, can you trust life? Trust that life knows your potential & it wants to nurture you. Start trusting life more & you'll recognize that everything that happens, happens for your growth.

Conversation Battles

When someone brings their opinions to a conversation, armed and ready for battle, it's easy to react or get defensive.

How about taking a moment to:
1) Think through how you can disarm the other person and voice your opinions
tactfully.
2) Decide if you want to continue with the conversation, redirect it or resume it at
a later time.

Remember, you don't have to engage in the conversation. You can always make a graceful exit from the conversation!

Good Perfectionism?

Perfectionism can be a good thing but too much of perfectionism is not. So when your perfectionism shows up, use it in a good way.

Put in a good effort without fussing or tweaking things too much. Relax your high standards without becoming slack. And do your best without putting unnecessary pressure on yourself and others.

Boost Your Feelings

When we're feeling down, we get caught up in a cycle of negativity. To break the cycle, take baby steps to boost your spirits. Read something uplifting, watch something funny, call a friend, or just do something you enjoy.

When you feel better, make time to understand why you felt the way you did in the first place and how to boost your feelings regularly.

Keep Up With Time

Time flies, right? To keep up with the speed of time, make the most of each minute. To catch the spirit of the time, let your thoughts be filled with light. Be purposeful in every action and you might just discover that you have all the time in the world!

Traveling Companions

On the journey of life, we find many traveling companions. Some are like-minded, others’ are incompatible. Some encourage us to travel further; others’ may hold us back. Some stay with us until their own journey steers them on a different course, and then we say goodbye! Today, take a moment to appreciate your traveling companions.

Treasure Your Time

Time is such a treasure yet so easy to waste. Why not make it difficult to waste time. Think: every second is as valuable as a diamond. Value time and you'll easily make smart choices about how and where to spend your time.

Renovate your Inner Space

Just as you renovate your living space, make time to renovate and invigorate your inner space!

Determine what needs refurbishing and construct a plan. Decide if you're going to do it yourself or get help.

'Close for renovation' for a few hours or even a few days, and fix your habits, redecorate your mood, remodel your attitude.....

Angels at Work

Angels are not just found on top of the Christmas tree. They can be found amongst us too. They eat, talk and go to work like the rest of us, yet their every move elevates hearts and minds. And they always seem to appear, right on cue, providing comfort and protection.

Maybe you can do the work of an angel today!

Morning Energy Boost

Mornings are an ideal time for solitude and contemplation. Not only do you create a feel-good feeling but you also create a reservoir of energy that you can draw on throughout the day.

So when you need an extra boost during the day, rather than reach for coffee or chocolate, you can slip into your reservoir of energy and refresh yourself.

Windows to the Soul

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Anything you keep within you is automatically revealed through your eyes. So what are you revealing through your eyes?

Choose to pick up or generate positive things and you'll maintain peace, love and joy. Then, this is what you'll share through your eyes.

Spark Ideas

Often we assume that good ideas just happen. Or we try to generate ideas in a formal environment. Sometimes changing the setting can get our creative juices flowing. Instead of holding a meeting in a conference room or the office, go to a coffee shop. Sometimes retreating to the visual world of art can open the mind and spark new ideas. Visit a gallery or a museum and immerse yourself in the colors, textures and impressions.

When Angry with Someone

When you're angry with someone, rather than letting your anger expand to everything they've ever done or failed to do, take a moment to look at the bigger picture and NOT just the small details. Understand it's YOU who is creating the anger, not someone else. So, get clear about why you're feeling angry. Remind yourself: anger is temporary but the relationship with the person you're angry with is permanent. Try to break out of anger safely. Curb your anger by taking slow deep breaths - sometimes this is all it takes to 'cool off.'
