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!

COVID19 and Emotional Wealth

At this time in history, there is no one on the planet who does not know what COVID-19 is. It is the pandemic that has swept through every single country, mainly killing people older than 70, or who have pre-existing comorbidity health problems and also unfortunately the frontline workers, taking care of those who are protecting us. Today, 08 June 2020,  there have been 406 165 deaths of which 120 000 people have died in the US, 40 000 in the UK alone.  We have been bombarded with more than a trillion pieces of information about the corona virus on how to sanitize our hands, maintain social distance and why we need to stay inside. However, within all of that we have not received much information about how we may protect ourselves from the mental and emotional impacts that this will have on our lives. But there are two accelerated changes that COVID-19 has brought to humanity in less than 8 weeks:- Digital Transformation Emotional Response in Society The digital transformation is taki

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
