I had many, many conversations this week with lots of different people, some of these were face to face, some on the phone, some via email, some through social media.
I have many of these conversations every single week without fail. I have conversations with a great number of people – this weekly newsletter is one of the ways I have conversations with you.
I get asked ‘Doesn’t it take up hours of my time?’ so often
How do I decide what to write about?
Don’t I get bored with doing this every week for years and years?
What has it got to do with Pilates or with Mindset?
And the big one, WHY do I do it?
The answer is very simple, I do it because having just one conversation makes a difference!
If that one conversation changes the life of just one person, then they pass it on, and so on, that’s the domino effect and it’s massive.
Don’t think for one minute that YOU can’t change people’s lives – we all do, all the time.
Don’t underestimate the impact that YOU have on others.
The world is a mirror, and if you smile, connect, engage with people it will make a difference.
My whole philosophy in life is helping people to lead happier, healthier lives through Mind and Body,
One of the ways I do this is through connecting with as many people as I can. I want to make a difference, it’s my small way of giving more to people, making sure that my actions are consistent with my values, and guess what?
It feels great, it feels amazing to give, when people tell me that something I’ve said has made them stop and think, something has resonated with them, something has made them change something in their lives, that the ONE CONVERSATION helped them in some way – that’s my reward 🙂
So today, why don’t you pay it forward?
Listen more attentively to the people in your lives
Be interested in their thoughts, feelings and activities
Be open-hearted, less judgmental
Don’t be so guarded – be vulnerable every now and again
Be generous with your time, attention, love, money
Celebrate our differences and other peoples accomplishments
Have more compassion and less intolerance
Consider a different perspective
Smile at someone you don’t know
Talk to the person looking awkward by themselves
Life is a mirror, you get back exactly what you reflect out there, so let’s make sure what you are reflecting out is consistent with YOUR values.
Have the ONE CONVERSATION today and make a difference 🙂
