Leave a Reply

Do you have the January blues?

That flat, it’s all over, except for paying for it and clearing up the mess, and trying to regain your waistline and…. and… (fill in)

The Skys are grey, and it is cold and rainy yet again, and you may feel pressured to keep New Years Resolutions and… and… (fill in)

I found this quick quiz ‘Beat the January Blues‘ and thought I would share it with you.

All the negative stressors reduce your resilience

What is important is to take stock of where you currently are.
When you know that you can decide what you WANT to do and where you WANT to be!!

Make 2024 when you are more in control of YOU!

What would be the benefits to you of having more conscious control over yourself?
PLEASE GIVE THIS SOME THOUGHT, AND WRITE IT DOWN.

Remember from my previous blog providing you with an almost foolproof way to achieve your goals,
with small steps and gentle nudges.

Also, is this the year when you gift yourself with only 8-minutes a day to re-wire your brain
for greater resilience and JOY??

Then here is an easy suggestion for you!

NO dramatic changes!

NO revolutions instead of resolutions!

Just gentle nudges and small steps.

In steps 3 & 4 of the Mind Chi 8-step/minute routine, you review the past 24 hours, either from now back or from 24 hours earlier until now.

In the step 3 you look for the NEGATIVE – yes!

Seek the things that you wish you had said, done or thought in a better way.
This is NOT for you to feel guilty, but to seek ‘What would I have rather done/said/thought?’ And to craft a small step to make it less next time.

You count those negative incidences in your NON-dominant hand, and when your minute is up, you wipe or blow them away, keep the lessons and let the past be past!

Step 4 is the counter balance

Here you seek all the large and small things where you felt success. When you complete an action, when something turns out well, when you are kind, or know you have done the right thing count all these on your dominant hand.
When this minute is up, hold on to your successes, put them in your success bank, associate them with all your other successes to build and strengthen your self-concept.

Begin 2024 with a review of 2023

What were your successes, where might you improve? Take the lessons from the past year and gently knit them in to your actions and beingness for 2024.

With this simple daily routine, taking only 8 minutes you can re-wire your brain to create the you, you wish to be. Furthermore, once you take the reins of yourself, you may find all relationships and experiences are improved.

Please do let us know how this works for you. Happy, joyful and satisfying New Year to you.
