HAVING AN OUTLET FOR YOUR EMOTIONS/FEELINGS
What do you do when you’re having an off day? Or something sad or horrible has just happened? What is your outlet? Do you have a way of understanding your emotions and getting them out of your head? Do you have somewhere to put them? Putting your emotions somewhere other than just whirling around your…

TAKING BREAKS
Do you need a break? From what? Sometimes, we just need a break. It could be from a job, from caring for people, from ourselves, an evil manager, our kids, our partner, our family. I think perhaps calling it a ‘break’ has negative connotations as it implies that we need to get away from whatever…

WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN
I just finished the book ‘Shoe Dog’ last night by Phil Knight (the creator and founder of Nike). It was an amazing book and I highly recommend the read. His journey and the journey of Nike and how it evolved is incredible. He went from selling 1000 shoes from Japan door to door to being…

COMPROMISE
In life, we will not always get every single little thing we want. We must accept this and learn to compromise and meet people in the middle or use our skills to bargain to get as close to what we want as possible. Let’s use the example of wanting an investor for your business –…

DO YOUR BEST TO BE KIND
The world is full of people going through things that we are completely ignorant of. As the saying goes – we can never know what is going on behind closed doors. Therefore we should do our best not to assume, or judge or be malicious and unkind. We may not be treated in the best…

EXPOSE YOURSELF TO NEW PEOPLE AND BE PICKY ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS
I’m not suggesting to search for friends here, I am suggesting that you are open and observant of the people around you who may enter your life or be around it that could be positive influences in your life.
