Just Think Differently

By -

What opens up as a possibility if you could think differently?


The power to change one's mindset may not be as difficult as we think. Simply choosing different responses may be enough to provoke a change in our thought process and therefore in our lifestyle.

Sooooo.... ! What if changing your life was as simple as thinking differently?

It is not a trick question, it is just a question that asks you to spend one week thinking differently when issues arise. Give it a try during the week ahead! Instead of responding with a knee jerk, automatic reaction, rather keep the above question in your mind and allow your subconscious to come up with alternative responses.

You could even keep a journal if you want and jot down what comes up, then in a weeks time, assess the outcomes of the decisions you've made when choosing an alternative response. Has anything changed in the manner in which you respond or the manner in which others respond to you? Where there any insights?

Have fun with the question and get your friends and family to try thinking differently as well, so that you can then all share the experience.

In the interim it's late for me now so I'm off to my bed, thinking differently about how to shape my pillows to better suite the arms of Morpheus. Night! Night!

Building Change Resilience - Be A Problem Solver

Be a problem solver How does being a problem solver build resilience to change? Well... if you are a problem solver, you will see a challenge, not as a problem but rather a situation waiting for the right solution! If you see a picture of Mount Kilimanjaro do you think “Phew too big” or do you start planning a route, finding guides and getting the right equipment? When you are first presented with a change, you think what can I do differently and how can we benefit from this? Here are a few questions I ask myself when presented with a challenge or a new situation: What is the real issue? Customers asked for longer branch opening hours because they wanted easier access to their cash 24 hours a day. So the preferred solution to the issue, was not for branches to stay open until 11pm but to install an ATM. Who knows more than me about this issue? Use lessons learnt or simply ask an SME, colleague or friend for support when trying to solve the problem. Don’t forget yo...

Building Change Resilience - Be Proactive

By -

Be Proactive One of the things that we often fear is the fear of the unknown. We spend a lot of energy worrying about outcomes that never actually happen, because we are trying to avoid disruption to our daily routines. When we know what lies ahead, we can plan and make provision for the things we think we will need and also prepare for the unexpected. When we are proactive, we plan ahead as much as possible by thinking about solutions to potential issues that may arise. For example, when I know that I am going on a scuba trip, there are number of things I need to plan for if I want to ensure that I have the best time possible. There are things that I know I will have to always take with me, so I have a checklist of those things readily available. In fact a number of things need to be planned at least 3 to 6 weeks before hand; Is it oversea’s – is my passport up to date, do I need a visa? Weather - Is the temperature warmer or colder? Food & Beverages – Do ...
