It is only when I reflect on where I am and compare it to where I was that I realise how far I have come in my level of consciousness. 

Some highlights 

I use the morning love to and daily journal to reconnect me to an emotion I would like to hold close for the day (Gratitude, Presence, Certainty and Love, and sometimes kindness because it is in my heart), my gratitude for where I am and my ambition for the future (this comes alive for me when I do the love to with purpose and close my eyes looking for an inspired message). 

My life purpose to Inspire Hope feels like it lives in me at these times - like most of my Do’s. I know the difference is planning, planning and planning until I feel like my vision is real and present, and this has worked well with respect to my relationship, career and to some extent health, however my journey continues here. I want also to lift the purpose and intent of each area.

I use the “waz up?” 4 columns at end of day to wash off the pig pooh. Back of taxi, train, bus or quiet spot on way home, I find this calms me and presences me. I arrive home calmer, balanced and at ease - my energy is much better. I am finding loads of other uses for this in my life as well - simple quick balancing of problems - like a client ceo asked me for some personal advice and instead of answering straight away I went back and did a 4 column on this. It has provided some additional insight and an ability to advise impartially. A different conversation.

I use the 8 column when I see emotions in people I don't like (reflections of myself) - it helps me see both sides of the person and sit in the middle of things. Like righteousness, blaming, being flippant, ignoring me...I don't feel rushed like I did before to comment or defend myself. 

I am letting a lot more things go through to the keeper. Like the other day my partner had an emotional blow out, and where I would normally fight and defend, I was able to stay in the middle (her s..t  not my s..t), and focus on our relationship (not my hurt which wasn't there). I named her blaming and it washed off me. I want more from our relationship, and this is a way through for me although I notice now what you mean when you say that I can't bring the stoic emotionless business self home. I want to feel more - 

I use your podcasts and blogs (although I am behind in these) to keep me present and asking the question - am I on the path'? It keeps me present. I see new things that I haven't seen before every time I listen.

I understand but am not good at practicing the schedule thing at work (break after 2 hours, lots of water) although I am bringing a new energy - purpose and intensity - to what I am doing. Because of these slips in process, I often end the day with less energy than I started and this is an opportunity for me to improve. 

I have found in organise, supervise and deputise new and better ways to organise (it is ok to use work time to organise and plan - I didn't think that was kosher before), a consciousness that there is a bit between organise and deputise called supervise, and a new mental model that I need to deputise so I can get on with other things and others have the opportunity to grow). I have never been great at the latter...and this is a place where I can do more.

I can see how my wife is now the emotional one and I am not (I used to think it was the other way around), and how the kids are reflecting the changes in me and I have had some fantastic results with them, as a Dad

Overall, in since the 30 day challenge and in the few months since then:

My energy is different - I am calmer, more balanced and more centred. And past clients have noticed. One said this week “You seem much calmer now. Whenever we used to meet your eyes used to be darting around”
My relationship with our kids is different - I’m turning up 110% -  I feel them as well as hear them. We are connecting on a different level. I just love talking to them
My relationship with my wife is different, and I feel different in it. I feel for her pain and understand I don’t have to fix, change or adjust her. 
I am looking after for myself and feel very BCC... (Balance, Centred, Calm most of the time.My career has opened up. I think I am on the right path

Anyway, a few jots to talk to next time we meet.With love and thanks
