The Big Peace

When I was a journalist, I got to go and see Anthony Robbins – big American self development guru and author of Unleash the Power Within -  live in action. There was a lot about him that I loved. And I’ve just dug out these questions that I remember finding really inspiring…… I was feeling a bit flat about the weather as I watch the rain come down in sheets and I LONG for some sunshine.

But then I did this exercise and felt differently.

One of my peace-robbing habits is I’m always looking for the next new thing/technique/practice to learn…when often I don’t use the brilliant tools I already have.
So it’s good to revisit and remind myself that I already have what I need. Mostly.

1. What am I happy about in my life now?
   What about that makes me happy? How does that make me feel?
2. What am I excited about in my life now?
   What about that makes me excited?  How does that make me feel?
3. What am I proud about in my life now?
   What about that makes me proud?  How does that make me feel?
4. What am I grateful about in my life now?
   What about that makes me grateful?  How does that make me feel?
5. What am I enjoying in my life right now?
   What about that do I enjoy?  How does that make me feel?
6. What am I committed to in my life right now?
   What about that makes me committed?  How does that make me feel?
7. Who do I love?  Who loves me?
   What about that makes me loving?  How does that make me feel?
