Become Aware - Eckhart Tolle

Focus attention on the feeling inside you. Know that it is the pain-body. Accept that it is there. Don't think about it - don't let the feeling turn into thinking. Don't judge or analyze. Don't make an identity for yourself out of it. Stay present, and continue to be the observer of what is happening inside you. Become aware not only of the emotional pain but also of "the one who observes," the silent watcher. This is the power of the Now, the power of your own conscious presence. Then see what happens.

Eckhart Tolle

Do BE Do BE Do - Getting Things Done While Being Mindful: Personal Life Coach Tips

TO DO Lists help us to remember important tasks that need to be done. List making is a great tool for focus and efficiency that I recommend as a personal life coach, and I want to acknowledge all the list makers in the world. Lists really do help with productivity! But have you noticed that these To Do Lists can become ever-present in our minds and thoughts? We may find ourselves wondering what we've forgotten to Do, what we need to Do next, and what tasks need to be added to the list? It can become important to not let our To Do Lists take over and become unforgiving task masters!

What would it be like if we were to create, and be vigilant about, a TO BE List, a mindful living list? Such a list might include these: Be Present; Be Compassionate; Be Peaceful; Be Joyful; Be Alert; Be Grateful; Be Accepting; Be Playful; Be Curious; Be Patient

A To Be List is not a list to check items off, the way we mark things DONE on a To Do List, because BEING is never "done". In fact, you could use the same To Be List every day, and it would never become obsolete. Its purpose is to clarify our intentions for HOW to BE, NOW, rather than to evaluate past performances. Our To Be List reminds us of the choices we have every moment and inspires us to always be our best selves. In the words of the late Coach John Wooden, "It isn't what you do, but how you do it."

Choosing How to BE is perhaps more subjective than choosing What to DO. And, it's more powerful in terms of quality of life. For example, charging ahead on a To Do List frequently results in feeling rushed and overwhelmed, not enjoying the actual doing. In my work as a Spiritual Life Coach, my clients find that being mindful is the key to enjoyment. (And being mindful is also a key to greater productivity, but that's a different topic I will write about later!)

In consciously choosing a state of Being like BE Alert, you are more likely be surprised and enriched as you notice things unnoticed before. Choosing to BE Compassionate, many ordinary conversations become rich and meaningful.

Are you ready to really ENJOY Getting Things Done? After all, you'll be doing things on your To Do List anyway, right? I suggest that you put your TO BE List right next to your TO DO List, where you can see both, or even have them on the same page. Then, whenever you decide on the next thing to do, ask yourself "How will I BE as I DO this?" as you select from the To Be List.

For example, if you need to contact a company about an error in your order, how do you want to be as you do it? Open? Relaxed? Understanding? Clear? Patient? If laundry is next, how do you want to BE as you do the laundry? Calm? Mindful? Playful? Curious?

I hope you have fun with this To Be List mindfulness practice. It's easy to remember. Just sing, "Do BE Do BE Do... "

And one more important personal life coach tip: Things like "BE productive" or "BE perfect" violate the spirit of the To Be List. BE careful how you choose to BE!

Everything Happens for a Reason

Everything happens for a reason, whether it be an event, a change in circumstance or a chance meeting. We may not know why it has occurred or even what impact it will have on our lives. 

It may have happened to change our thinking, or we may have come upon someone who will change our lives forever, or not. 




We may never even consider the effect on ourselves or on our lives, because we are so busy rushing from pillar to post, forgetting to be aware of ourselves and mindful of our lives in general. 




It is especially difficult to accept that everything happens for a reason when we are going through hard times and our sufferance is great. It is at these times that things happen to teach us a lesson and they help us to become who we are. 




During these hard times, it is important to remember that the God/ the universe always has our best interest at heart. Remember that we will survive and come out of any negative event, circumstance or relationship much stronger, wiser and better people. 















All of us are unique, gifted and blessed human beings. We need to believe in ourselves and the goodness of life. Staying positive is a must under any circumstance. 




Live in the present moment. Do not waste time and energy being upset about the past or worrying about the future. The only time that is real is now. 




Love and be loved, but do not depend on others for your happiness. Accept yourself and love yourself. Know that you are worthy and that you are more than enough in your entirety. You are strong enough to survive and to be content in your own skin. 




Love yourself, believe in yourself and do not doubt that you will succeed in all your endeavours. You are amazing. You are the superb you. 







Wishing you all love, peace and happiness always,

Life Is Hard Sometimes!

We all have our ups and downs, our good days and our not so good days. This seems to be the 'normal' run of human life, except for those of us that have learnt to see the happy side of life and appreciate each moment. This is something we should all aspire to. 

Unfortunately, most of us have not yet reached that level of sustained brightness and positivity. We are all different and have attained differing levels of daily happiness and/or contentment.

Most of us still have at least the odd down day, when life seems to be a struggle. Our minds are in a muddle and we don't know which way to turn. 

On these days, every day, but especially these days, the best thing to do is to keep going. Put one foot in front of the other. Get your tasks done and bear in mind that things will get better. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, however distant.

Remember all the good things in your life, family and friends especially. Everything that makes you feel grateful. That will get you through the day, so that you may start the next day afresh and it will be a brighter one.

As Eckhart Tolle teaches, learning to be present in the moment, aware of the now and not living in the past or the future, gives new meaning and purpose to our daily lives;a greater appreciation.

May all your days be filled with peace, love and happiness............
