POINTS and DETAILS: Now Then Whenever

Now Then Whenever - Inspire

So it is a month into 2013 and I can't help but list a few empowering thoughts... in no specific order. I like to read these things every once in a while as I feel sometimes I need to sit, ponder and rejuvenate and not just "do" things, which in fact it probably leads me to do, but hopefully all for the better!

..... it’s always a good time to reflect on what you’d like to do more of, what you’d like to do less of, what you’d like to try out or experiment with. Found here

..... for those who exercise discipline, choose to work a little smarter, think a little more intuitively, zag from the formula and avoid the cliché, the explosion of experimentation can be valuable, not only by making consumers more sophisticated, but by helping creators exceed expectations with inspired work.

..... Seven rules of life
1. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
2. What others think of you is none of your business.
3. Time heals almost everything. Give it time.
4. Don't compare your life to others and don't judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about (more on this here).
5. Stop thinking too much. It's alright to not know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it.
6. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.
7. Smile. You don't own all the problems in the world :)

..... The end goal isn't about trying to achieve some sort of perfection. Perfection is boring..... Flawed and complex is just infinitely more interesting. This project is just about being the best possible version of my flawed self. Being healthier and more balanced. Treading more lightly on the earth, being a more present, attentive, loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend, achieving some balance(what ever that looks like). Found here

..... How do you deal with negative criticism or negative feedback? Found here

..... Being (Im)Perfect - Striving for achieving a sense of perfection has been a misguided belief in my life, often leading me down the wrong path. It has made me, at times, place value on the wrong things. It has made me not listen to my true self for fear that I would somehow fail in another's eyes. I was curious as to how the idea of perfection has become so pervasive in our society, how it begins, how it hurts us and perhaps, even, if it carries a certain benefit. More found here

..... It’s pretty crazy how non-motivated I am with physical exercise. I’ve NEVER been a disciplined person. I’ll ALWAYS have to force myself to move. You know those people who are addicted to running? I do too. They’re not me. Every time I get it together enough to actually go out and exercise, I have those internal debates in my head and my evil, totally sedentary twin tries to take over with below-the-belt attacks you all know : “You’re Too Tired. You Don’t Have Time. You’ll Have To Take A Shower And Redo All Your Makeup. It’s Never Going To Work, You Never Get Fit Anyway. If You Miss Once, No Biggie.” Read the rest here

..... “My most effective method is to just force myself. When I try to find myself excuses not to go to exercise, I just become my own mother and internally (or externally, sometimes) shout at myself, like my mum used to do when I was a teen and couldn’t be bothered going to ballet classes anymore: ELISA YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE A CHOICE, YOU’RE JUST GONNA GO AND THAT’S THE END OF IT. It works :)” – Elisa Read more comments here
