Develop a routine

James McAvoy is recognised for his ability to perform extraordinary feats of endurance.  This has included the likes of rowing for 45 hours without stopping on a rowing machine.  To put this into perspective, if you get the opportunity, try rowing for just one hour - you'll quickly learn what a monumental achievement a 45 hour row is! 

What's admirable about James is not just that he is an incredible endurance athlete, it's the fact that so much of what he does is done deliberately to inspire and fundraise for others, especially those who are vulnerable. 

James hasn't always been a giver, the fact is that he learned many of his good habits while in prison for armed robbery.  James's life up until his early 20s was all about taking from others, regardless of the harm he inflicted.  However, while in prison, where he was often on his own in a tiny cell for 24 hours a day, he learned the benefits of routines to pass the time and get things done.  

Creating a schedule of behaviours and habits in the most challenging of environments has changed James's life.  He has learned that, regardless of his environment, great things can still be achieved if you develop a routine and stick to it.  #thepowerofhabit

Making do can be even better

Today is ANZAC Day, a very special day in the history of our country.  In any year this is a day marked by services, dawn parades, and a range of gatherings.  Because of COVID-19 things have been considerably different in 2020.  However, different and making do hasn't made the day any less special and, in many ways, has brought our communities even closer together.  I have seen: My own school doing so many fabulous displays on letterboxes, fences and houses to show resoect.  This has been the same all over town. Numerous lovely events being set up on social media. People standing outside their houses at dawn to show resoect. A mini service outside a house with neighbours (all maintaining social-distancing protocols). Perhaps some of these things would have happened anyway, but maybe they wouldn't have.  I have loved the way that people have 'made do', showing respect in their own ways to recognise all those who have served for us.  #makingdo #anz...

Finding purpose and happiness

A TED Talk I recently saw presented by speaker Noeline Kirabo discussed the idea of finding and following your passions.  She shared two questions that we should ask ourselves to identify our passion, these being: What would you do if you had all of the time you need and all of the money you need to do it? What truly makes you happy? Noeline goes on to talk about how many of us feel that only those with plenty of money and/or are retired will be able to do what the answers to the questions identify.  Noeline challenges this; she believes that in some way we can all do what the answers to the questions identify, provided there is at least some degree of realism in our answers.  For example, if the answer to question one was to travel, you will find that there are likely to be many wonderful places that are easily accessible to where you live and are only a short drive away.  In the case of what makes you happy, I would guess that in many cases it's being with peo...

What's the upside?

Fumio Sasaki's book Goodbye, Things is one that is about living a satisfying life with less stuff.  It also looks at appreciating what we already have.  A way that Fumio Sasaki remains so content is that he looks at the upside in every situation.  Fumio believes that for almost any situation we are in there is a positive: this could be having time to listen to a favourite podcast while stuck in traffic, to being able to enjoy the warmth of a fire when the weather outside is 'terrible'.  Of course there are times when the immediate pain of loss can be extremely upsetting and challenging, but, for most situations that we face daily there is the opportunity to look for an upside.  This focus on the positive will lead to you being more aware of the many good things in your life, as opposed to feeling like things can't get better, with the world conspiring against you.  #focusonthepositive
