PLEASE PLEASE WRITE IT ALL DOWN

Make notes, keep a notebook or make a sheet per day!

Have a great idea – then make a note!

 

Decide to do something, then make it a To-Do

for your day!

 

Your internal commitments in thought
will be hugely strengthened

by writing it down!

TRY IT!

TRY THIS SIMPLE THING!

DO A GOOD DEED!

Hardly an hour passes, let alone

a day, before the chance presents itself to help

someone we do not know or to spurn that chance.

It could be in the street.

It could be when we are driving and

letting someone in ahead of us, or

it could be by making sure they cannot.

It could be holding a door for them, or

by letting it shut in the face. Or

it could be by carrying a bag

up or down some stairs for them, or by simply ignoring them.

We share the same world in our time,
when it is their time too.

It costs nothing to make it a better time.

Try it, and I swear you will make the weirdest discovery!

In totally unrelated situations, you will find other people

increasingly doing it for you.

Most important, feel the emotional power within you for
having treated Life as an interconnected endeavour with others,
even if only for a few moments in your day!

HAVE FAITH!

IF YOU HAVE FAITH, PRAY,

BUT IF YOU DON’T, 

THEN APPEAL TO

THE HIGHER ORDER OF THE UNIVERSE

This can be a sensitive issue but I believe
it should not be.

If you have a Faith,

however dimmed by lack of practice,

I would encourage you to awaken it.

In so doing you awaken your connection with greater powers than your own.

Most Faiths have a peaceful
and spiritual emphasis which serves to connect us

with “our neighbour.”

If you do not have Faith,

then ponder on the infinite scale and order of the universe,

on its power to put our own issues in perspective.

But reflect too on how

when we grasp a good intent and we promote it,

extraordinarily and coincidentally,

helpful things happen

towards achieving that good intent!

Why Is My Goal-Setting Not Working: What Am I Doing Wrong?

If you want a great book to help you review your childhood and connect you with the "You" of today then read " You Can Change Your Life" by Tim Laurence. ISBN 978-0-340-82523-5.

Remember, you can think you have chosen a goal in the belief that you want to achieve the end result you have visualised. Yet the reality can be very different! A parent or a teacher can have laboured the point in your childhood that you are useless at it or would never make the grade and you mandated that in your mind at the time.

So what have you done? You have set a goal, not so much to achieve the desired outcome for yourself, but to prove the parent or teacher wrong! Every-time you fix your mind on the goal, then inadvertently and sub-consciously you raise the spectre of the adverse comments made all those years ago. One goes on giving those comments air-time. Tim Laurence in his book will show you how to disassociate from that childhood memory and then you will be able to commit to the goal entirely on its own terms.

But if nothing else, if I have identified the source of the your problem, then that will give you chance to dismantle the longstanding criticism resident in your mind. You can reflect objectively, as you are now, on those remarks made years ago and then tell yourself over and over that they may have been well-intended remarks but they were quite simply wrong then and are still wrong now.

Good luck

BBC Research Shows Computer Games Do not Advance Our Thinking!

It always fascinates me how much of this research is restricted to the ability to think better logically. Rarely does it cover the impact on our self-esteem or sense of self-efficacy. I have not the slightest doubt that while learning new complex computer games does not aid our our overall thinking ability, it has a dramatic effect on the way we think and feel about oursleves.

Doubts we we could have nursed about our ability to master  computing skills could be banished and could leave us much more willing to try new tasks with the belief we can master them too.

Another feature of computer games rarely referred to is the need for sustained concentration. One of my grandsons has had reports of limited concentration at school. Yet put him in front of a computer game and he demonstrates powers of concentration second to none!

We can learn to live happier and more effective lives based on how we think about ourselves
