💭 Just a Thought

Let Life In

What would happen if you opened yourself up - just a touch more.

I recently heard a conversation about luck and serendipity - and ultimately, the thought of creating your own luck - or increasing the surface area for serendipity in your life.

When you let life in, there's no end to the possibilities and adventures you're making yourself available for. You can create your own luck. Put yourself out there, you never know what's just around the corner.

🤑 Happy Money

Choosing your money flow?

I don't mind telling you that I've spent a fair share of time trying to course-correct my relationship with money. From a place of lack and struggle when I was young - to one of being comfortable in building wealth and receiving more with gratitude - and not feeling guilt around it.

A friend suggested Happy Money by the Japanese Author, Ken Honda - which has been one my Christmas reads. The premise is simple, change your relationship to money - and affect your flow of money more positively.

According to the author you can quite literally "charge" your money (mass) and flow (speed) with your intensity of energy. If you charge your energy positively - or increase the level of energy associated with money, you will see an increase in flow of Happy Money.

🤫 What's the secret?

Gratitude and appreciation.

This works just the same for an entrepreneur as it does for an employee. You can increase your flow of Happy Money, simply by showing gratitude and appreciation.

When you get paid for a job well done, fully accept it with sincere grace and gratitude.

When you feel joy toward the work you do, and proud to work with your colleagues and clients, and thank them generously for letting you work with them - you're positively charging your Happy Money flow.

The same is true for money going out - send Happy Money with gratitude for the service, product, food, experience you have gained.

Super charge your flow and begin to truly create positivity around the flow of money in your life.

"It is not how much you make or have that gives you Happy Money or Unhappy Money, it is the energy with which your money is given and received that determines your flow."

Christmas and the "Holidays" are over. We're in a New Year - and we're hit with Headlines and Titles like this one! 👇

This podcast from Steven Bartlett with Tim Spector - on The Diary of a CEO is well worth a listen.

Beyond the click-baity headline, Tim has some real insights - based on the available data. His message reduces to something very simple; focus on your gut and eat real food.

He says that the reason that exercise doesn't work for weight loss is that when we increase our exercise regimen - our body is quick to follow and adapt to conserve the increased amounts of energy that is being used - slowing our bodies' burning of calories down throughout the day, as a mechanism of survival.

He goes on to say that there are no studies showing that "calorie counting" is an effective way to lose weight beyond the first few weeks - as it's "virtually impossible - even for professionals to count calories", due to their accuracy, variation in portion size and the bio-availability of those "calories" within your body.

That's not to suggest for a moment that exercise and movement isn't incredibly important for our bodies, especially for cardiovascular fitness, physical strength as well as maintaining resilient mental health.

His main point being this: focus on food for health and weight loss. Keep exercise for fun and joyfulness.
