The ripple effect!

WHEN YOU THROW a pebble into water, ripples ruffle the surface.They spread out in ever-widening circles until they disappear and the water is still once more.Think of your difficult situation as that hard cold pebble.What are the ripples you've created around your pebble?Who beside yourself is affected by  what you've caused?Take time to reflect on the relationship between what you do and what energy you give out to others.

Clean out your wardrobe!

PASS YOUR OLD CLOTHES on to someone else.Your clothes cover and protect you.They are your interface with the world.They represent how you see yourself and what you show to others.By passing on your old clothes you make a symbolic act of change.

Heroes and heroines!

PROVIDE  MODELS  OF  BEHAVIOUR.They inspire and uplift.They represent your ideal.Find your heroes and heroines in history or books or present-day life.Read about them.Note what qualities you most admire.Pin pictures of your heroes and heroines in a prominent place.Look at them often.

Rehearsal!

WHEN A SITUATION BACKFIRES..............................you're often determined to act differently the next time.But determination will desert you in the pressure and emotion of the occasion if you haven't done some homework.Visualise yourself in the situation and act it out as if you were there.Use your five senses to bring your action alive.Practice will hasten a new pattern and improve your chances of success.

Find a trigger!

FIND YOUR OWN HAPPINESS TRIGGER.It may be the words of a song, a saying, a scene.In order for the trigger to work you need to be able to imagine it strongly.See it, feel it.Practise when you don't need to use it.The more you quickly your trigger will activate.

Replace pain with no pain!

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF .........................................................wanting to hurt someone in the same way they have hurt you, think again.
Replicating pain duplicates it.What you really seek is no pain.Stay true to your aim.As you give love more, you'll also receive more.Give love unconditionally without waiting for its immediate return.

Recognise your Limitations!

ATTEMPT ONLY WHAT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU.Know your own capabilities, strengths and endurance.Don't try to do more out of guilt or fear or comparison.No one else can inform you about your limitations as well as yourself.So listen without judgement.
