Change Your Life With a Simple HabitWritten by David Wood
Change Your Life With a Simple Habit You've worked for hours on dinner - doing best you can - and he says ...................nothing. How do you feel? Feel like cooking tomorrow night? What if he says: "Jenny, I really appreciate you taking time to cook. Aside from food being great, I got to spend extra time finishing that job that's been bugging me. Thank you for that". Now how do you feel, and do you feel like cooking tomorrow night? If we're not acknowledged or appreciated, we're less happy, tend to contribute less, and begin to resent things we are doing. When we are appreciated, we feel wonderful, and want to do more for people. It's as if we have SURPLUS that we want to share! So what kind of experience are you creating for people around YOU? If you were born and raised on Earth, chances are you have learned habit of keeping any acknowledgment or appreciation you feel for others largely to yourself. Yet with a very simple habit, you can completely alter experience of everyone who comes into contact with you! Why starve them of attention and appreciation that lights us up? Action Stations a) Make a list of five people in your life who could use more appreciation (It can be a secretary, neighbour or bus driver. Or call a parent and acknowledge them for WHO they have been all your life).

The Power of Vision You've probably heard a lot about creating a vision, and possibly affirmations. Is it all new-age mumbo jumbo? I say no. If we really want to create something new in life, it simply makes sense to work out what that is, and then create a structure to constantly remind yourself. To keep it real. To keep you inspired, motivated. I'm happy to be able to share this great article from a client of mine which suggests how to do just that..... 'EACH DAY DREAM A LITTLE DREAM... ..even if it is only in your head it will soon be in your life. A while back I was focused on all that was lacking in my life. My focus each morning as I woke seemed to gravitate to all I didn't have and all I didn't want to have happen. I struggled and struggled until one day it hit me. I was separated from what I truly desired in life in fact I didn't even know what I wanted I had no vision - nothing to desire. You see those feelings of stress and worries were a sign. A sign letting me know that what I was focussed on was not bringing me peace in my life. This focus on lack in my life was zapping me of energy needed to be creative and to seize opportunities that lay before me. The day I made that agreement with myself was day I realized that I had a choice in where I place my focus. When my focus was on what I was lacking I would feel stress and worry where as when my focus was on what I desired I felt feelings of peace within myself. This taught me importance of having a vision. For when I continued to focus on my dreams and picture those dreams coming true in my life feeling of peace evolved into excitement and passion to seize moment I had in front of me. When we are focused on our dreams we have no room in our minds for thoughts of worry. Our vision creates positive thoughts, and therefore positive feelings. Your vision is your guide that will lead you to all that is possible in life. All a vision needs is some nurturing and it will then nurture you. This is your time to create a vision in your life. Think of what is important to you and what you want to see come into your life and then do following exercises.
