Are you overthinking everything?

07/06/2024

I did a thing! Will you help?

I have been quiet on here as I prepared my new release.

My new book The Anxiety Antidote: Simple Steps To An Anxiety Free Life ( Student Edition) is out as a Kindle book.

To celebrate it is currently 99p.

Can you get a copy and leave a lovely review. It will help me on my journey to become a multi-millionaire publishing mogul.

It is based on my previous title The Overwhelmed Manager but rewritten, reformatted and aimed at students.

I will put a link in the comments.

Meanwhile I am going to lean back and daydream about all the things I can do with my 37p commission.....

A Nightmare Scenario Have you ever had a nightmare? Waking up in the middle of the night, thoughts are racing through your head. You sit up straight, eyes wide open. Staring ahead, trying to breath. You feel scared, anxious, worried. Your body is experiencing a physical reaction to the mental stimul...

The Overwhelmed Manager

A presidential Approach to Time Management

A Presidential Approach to Time Management As managers we have busy lives. We head into the office with a clear idea of what we want to achieve that day, and before long it all goes out the window and we are back to fire-fighting mode again, caught up in the issues of the day. And we never catch up....

The Overwhelmed Manager

Tip 6 - Everyone will have a different version of you and there is NOTHING you can do about it.

Including, more importantly, why this matters.

These tips are from my forthcoming book The Overwhelmed Manager: 4 Keys Steps to Lasting Inner Peace. If you would like to be kept informed of publication dates and receive extra content, articles and guidance, I have put a Link here at the bottom of the article

Everyone will have their own version of you, and there is nothing you can do about it Everyone has a different version of you. The man on the bus, the passer-by, your partner, your boss, your children, your staff, YOU. Everybody. Your version of YOU only exists for yourself, and even you don’t kno...

Dear all
It is tough at the moment so at the end of last year, on a whim, I set up the FB group A Year of Living Kindly so members could inspire and be inspired by Acts of Kindness, small and large,
I have been blown away by the response and how quickly it is growing so I set up both a website and the online School of Kindness. I have personally paid for everything as my way of Paying it Forward so anyone can access any material for free.
The School (hosted by Thinkific) currently has 3 free courses for you and any staff. The members area of the website is again free, and currently has a 7 day mini course for instant download and I will be adding free resources and downloads. Next will be a resource pack for Random Acts of Kindness Day in February.
Everything can be accessed through the website
www.ayearoflivingkindly.org

Schools, Colleges, Universities, Charities etc. Do you run and promote a kind organisation? Lots of resources here to help you

From A Year Of Living Kindly

As Martin Luther King said

‘I Have A Dream’

My dream is that this group exceeds 5000 Random Acts of Kindness in 2021. A Kindness Revolution!

That sounds a lot, but in reality if every member commits to 1 RAOK per MONTH, then we are close.
If every member (currently 329) commits to 1 RAOK per WEEK then we will have achieved over 17,000!

Perhaps the most important thing you will read in a while....

Why Kindness is built in
Or
The Human Operating System

A computer, tablet or phone will come with an operating system which receives regular updates designed to keep the computer running at optimum levels. Within these updates are Security Patches, designed to keep the equipment safe from damage.

We are the same. However the Upgrades are specific to Us as Individuals, as are the Security Patches embedded in the upgrade.

We are born with pre-installed Software; version Human 1.0.
Kindness, Love and Compassion are built in and we know nothing else.

As we grow, and experience reality we start to get our first updates, even from a very early age.
We ask our parents for a ‘treat’. No, they reply you haven’t been good enough, you don’t deserve one.
The next Upgrade comes with the Security Patch ‘Good things need to be earned’. We start to learn of limitation and lack

We experience our first love, and subsequent broken-heart. It really hurts and we vow to ourselves never to let that happen again.
The next Upgrade includes Security Patch ‘Be careful who you love, and protect yourself from hurt’. We learn to put up walls and limit our love.

We enter the world of employment and earning.
The next Upgrade includes Security Patch ‘we need to earn more to be secure and happy’. We learn that happiness is dependent on financial security.

We keep getting updates and Security Patches. These are generated from our experience or listening to others we respect or rely on for information. This includes your news sources, teachers, doctors, parents, your boss etc.

Recent Upgrade may include the following Security Patches

‘Refugees are here to take over our homes, jobs and livelihoods’
‘Nothing comes easily’
‘We need to work at being happy’
‘Be careful who you trust’

Or a variety of other Security Patches specific to you

Over time the Upgrades and Security Patches slow the system down, become obsolete or simply crash.

But...

Underneath all the upgrades, below all the Security Patches, Human 1.0 is still there, whirring away, underpinning everything.

We can reset whenever we want, but it may mean deleting the Security Patches we believe are keeping us safe.

When we reset our phones, tablet or computer we go back to the original ‘clean’ version. It is the same with us.

Kindness is built in, it is part of the operating system, it’s just that sometimes it is buried beneath layers of additional data.

So I am starting a FB group for 2021. It will be called 'A Year of Living Kindly'

The aim is support and encourage each other to do Random Acts of Kindness, and also be kind to themselves.

You can post any acts of kindness in the group and ANY negative comments will be removed

Anyone up for the challenge? Comment below and I will add you into the group when I set it up

Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful it's ordinary and mundane and routine.
Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.
