I switched to morning meditation and it works like a dream. ;-)Shelley Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513209160436996810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046423565533635938.post-57550114164601564822015-08-02T13:13:35.068-07:002015-08-02T13:13:35.068-07:00I learned about visualisation techniques from Paul...I learned about visualisation techniques from Paul McKenna and it revolutionised my productivity. A few minutes meditation at night, visualising the next day's tasks, picturing them going smoothly and quickly; focusing on the feeling of being 'in the zone' while you're doing them and the satisfaction you'll feel when they're complete makes those same tasks really fly by when you do them for real.Douglas McPhersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109848560445125859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046423565533635938.post-77017958396893155692015-07-26T11:23:34.765-07:002015-07-26T11:23:34.765-07:00The first step is noticing, the second is doing so...The first step is noticing, the second is doing something about it, so yay to you! We all have a knack of collecting 'stuff' don't we. A good de-clutter can be very uplifting. Positive images, relevant information and the odd feel good funny face postcard can do wonders for our motivation. Enjoy culling :-)Shelley Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513209160436996810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2046423565533635938.post-55681873631362370932015-07-26T05:58:08.983-07:002015-07-26T05:58:08.983-07:00Shelley, you've made me take a good look at th...Shelley, you've made me take a good look at the noticeboard which is on the wall beside me as I type. It's covered with all kinds of things - business cards, old receipts, things printed off the internet, a calendar that covers up lots of other stuff, even a map which has to be kept folded up so it doesn't get in the way. In other words - my noticeboard is a mess. It's become a dumping ground and frankly I hardly look at it any more. Now I'm going to clear it, do some culling and then aim for a mixture of information that needs to be kept to hand and some favourite pictures. Not exactly a vision board, but certainly something far more relevant and purposeful than what I've got at the moment.

Now, while I don't subscribe to the idea that Brownies live behind my cooker, one suggestion in the book did stick with me and that it is that if you can't have the life you want (at the moment), you can gather little bits of it around you. For example, if you've always wanted to live by the sea, but are stuck in an inner-city flat, you can at least decorate your house in evocative colours, use sea shells as ornaments, bathe in seaweed-based cosmetics, have pictures of the coast in every room - you get the idea.
