If you ask deep enough questions that target the root cause of an issue, it will answer all the transactional questions while creating lasting far-reaching transformation.

We can spend more time avoiding facing difficult issues than it would take to face them head-on. It can often feel like we would not be able to deal with the deeper issue based on our mind's predictions of how bad it is and an underestimation of our inner resilience.

If a situation has been allowed to show up in our experience the universe knows we have what it takes to handle it. In our innermost essence, we are fundamentally OK and unbreakable.

The situation is here in service of our evolution so there is no getting away from it. There is no pass, the only way is through and in the midst of it lies the gift to support our growth. Get support if you need it.

Curiosity will drive a deeper dive to discover the root of someone else's unacceptable behaviour and love will seek to mitigate it, while judgement will dismiss it as just a character trait. Curiosity and judgment cannot co-exist, judgment satisfies the mind's need for resolution and makes it entirely the other person's problem. Curiosity keeps digging for answers.

When we are quick to judge others, we are often triggered by things in them are reside in us but that we have denied and suppressed. When we learn to embrace that in ourselves with compassion we can do the same for others

Notice when you meet others who show up in a way that you find uncomfortable, is it your first instinct to judge and push away or to be curious and seek to understand?

You cannot judge others into true change. It will either be contrived or they will flat-out rebel. Love is the greatest catalyst for change. When people recognize that you are coming from a place of unconditional love, they are more likely to respond to you positively and be open to change.

When was the last time you were triggered and what did you learn from the experience?

While it might be easy to identify what you have been avoiding doing, it needs deeper reflection to find out why and the courage to face it.

Doing the reflective work and writing down your findings makes it real and harder to ignore. While it seems painful to confront what is holding us back, it is much more costly to ignore it. For things to get done, your why has to be greater than you why bother?

Procrastination can hold us back from getting things done. It can be because our conscious (the ant) and subconscious mind (the elephant) are not aligned and heading in the same direction. We need to find out the concerns of the elephant, address them and maybe then it would turn around.

If we empty our minds of any stories predicting the level of difficulty or amount of effort required to do something and just start doing it while being completely present to taking action in every moment, we can get more done without it feeling like a chore.

Most of our energy and motivation are zapped by thinking about the doing than the actual doing. The mindful doing without the stories reduces the time between inspiration and action significantly. You are more likely to feel much better from the completion of the tasks.

How much time and energy are you spending in thinking about the doing rather than the actual doing?

The only time we have is the present moment. We can always make more money but we cannot make more time. Some through wisdom use money to buy back their time.

We all get the same 24 hours a day. We don't lose time, we waste it. Time waits for no one, it is our most precious resource.

We spend a lot of time talking about time but rarely focus on how we are spending it. We often avoid this as we suspect that we are not making the best use of it. Knowing how we spend our time could make us more accountable.

Writing out the things you have to do on a list can help alleviate the pressure from feeling like you have too much to do, even if you don't complete the tasks on it.

When we find FLOW by focusing on the doing rather than the thinking about it, time feels expansive and we don't experience what we are doing as hard work.

Time has no relatives to show mercy to or do any favours. It treats everyone without regard to status. How we experience time can fluctuate based on our state

What were you working on, the last time you lost track of time?

We can live supernatural lives without trying, by just responding to what is in front of us.

The expression and experience of the "I" is fluid as we gain insights that transform the paradigms through which we evaluate things. We change so what we see and how we experience it changes as well. This is a lifelong process. You cannot nail the "I" as it is fluid.

Not being able to explicitly define a constantly evolving identity is okay, that is the reality of the human experience and to try and fight against that is futile and a recipe for emotional suffering such as frustration.

Every new day is an opportunity to learn more, evolve and be better in how you show up.

When you adopt a new paradigm of the world, you develop a deeper way of seeing your world and experiencing things differently. Your brain then recalibrates to the new perspective as your new normal so that it is hard to experience the same circumstances the same way.

When you evolve you are not losing who you are, you are gaining more perspectives on how to experience your circumstances.

Circumstances present us opportunities but do not have the ultimate say in how we show up to face them. When we recognise that how we are responding to our circumstances is not helpful and in some instances can create chronic health challenges, it is time for a reframe. Unfortunately, we have no control over when we get this realisation.

It is helpful to verbalise out loud when you are seeking to reframe your relationship to your circumstances.

The perception that it is a sign of weakness to show emotions can lead to constipation. It also helps not to suppress your emotions but to give them space to express themselves to release any built-up pressure from stuck emotions. This creates space for new insights to surface.

There are events that may happen to us that appear on the surface to be negative but on deeper reflection we can observe a transformation in how you see and interact with your mind. Our new set of circumstances can prompt a new and creative way of approaching things.

It is okay to feel all your emotions but you don't need to camp there and let them dictate your quality of life. They are there to pass through not to define you.

Surviving the unknown and seeing the positives in it can help us build resilience in dealing with not knowing and trusting that the universe has our backs.

We can expend a lot of energy resisting what has already taken place or accept the fact that it has. It is more helpful to let go of our outdated expectations based on a past that no longer exists and accept what is. We can then find creative ways to navigate the future from the reality of our current set of circumstances.

Letting go, opens up new opportunities for new experiences beyond our expectations.

Awareness opens the door to a choice of response that could serve you better.

Vulnerability is a gift for others to learn and be inspired by.

What do you notice about your experience when you accept your circumstance as an opportunity to learn?
