Extracts from "Today I will..."

today I will empower someone through words of encouragement

Boost someone's confidence through positive feedback - motivate, inspire, give courage, remove doubts. Reassure them of their capacity to succeed. Praise them for their efforts. Play the role of mentor. Encouragement is an easy form of giving. Rather than doing a task for someone, encourage them to do it for themselves.

today I will ask for help

Perhaps you expect too much from yourself. Or feel uncomfortable asking for assistance? Even if the person you ask can't help you, help will come. LIfe is supportive, though not always in the way we expect. Great things are achieved through the power of co-operation. We are not alone, and we benefit from giving and taking.

today I will spread peace by speaking less

Think before you speak and choose your words with care. In conversation, listen carefully to others so you don't go over what has already been covered. Try eating in silence. Renounce all unnecessary banter today and conserve your energy. Let people around you know your intentions beforehand so they won't take offence. You are a peaceful soul. Experience your inner peace and refresh your mind in silence.

today I will give something away

Pass on an item you no longer use or give away an object you value highly. Creating an empty space invites the new. You do not truly own anything, so practise being a trustee of your possessions. Be generous and have faith that you will receive what you need.
