Choose Your Inspirational Acronym For The Week

Last night I went to that new movie 2012 and it got me thinking about how I’d spend my last moments were the world to end. I’d like to think I live every moment to my last but I know it’s not true. I do however know that it’s a habit I wish to invoke and a powerful way to live life when kept in context.

So that also got me thinking about variety. I enjoy having variety in my life and I do get bored easily. I need to keep things fresh in order to maintain my enthusiasm for whatever it is I’m doing. Even on a day to day basis, unless I throw in some variety and change the way I focus, not only on my goals but on my moment to moment being, I tend to lose a bit of that zeal that keeps me going.

We’ve all seen the, new age, buzz words doing the rounds over the last few years but I think it’s time for a refresher! Remember that you can focus on any of these at any particular time and, if you’re having a bad day, where you’re feeling a bit unfocused, use this list to remind you of all the plucky new age, hip and happenin’, acronyms!

1. ARK – Act Of Random Kindness

Do an act of random kindness. Give some money to a beggar or pay for someone’s coffee. The options here are endless! Doing something for a stranger is always a powerful thing to do!

2. PIF – Pay It Forward

Do something big for someone and if they offer to return the favour say no! Ask them simply to pay if forward! Let those actions ripple.

3. LOA – Law Of Attraction

The law of attraction is always at work. It is always delivering to you. It works for me, every time. Find out what you want, and then ask for it! When it does come to you, remember it, how you did it and then keep doing it!

4. AOG – Attitude Of Gratitude

What was the last time you just stopped, for a couple of minutes, and gave thanks? Cultivate your attitude of gratitude. If you cannot find anything to be grateful for, you’re either not looking hard enough or, your life needs a big shift.

5. CANI – Constant And Never-Ending Improvement

You are perfect just the way you are. However if you decide you want to improve on perfection then CANI is the way to go! 😛

6. LOL – Laugh Out Loud

When was the last time you laughed so hard you were almost in pain? It’s never too late and you’re never too old! Watch some stand-up comedy You could also play some ‘morning jack’. If you’re not sure how to play let me know and it’s guaranteed to make you laugh!

7. JAM – Just A Minute

It only takes a minute to make a difference. Use those free minutes during the day wisely. It takes no effort at all to say ‘I’m sorry’ or to forgive someone.

Here’s some I made earlier :-)…

8. POC – Power Of Choice

Learn to exercise your volition or your conscious power of choice without worrying about the result. Just go for it! Remember that you decide how you respond to events and which ice-cream flavour to choose.

9. SOS – Simple Obvious Strategy

Is you life complicated? Maybe what you need is an SOS. (Simple obvious strategy) Sometimes all you need is a very clear cut simple and obvious way to change the results you’ve been getting. Create a new SOS for yourself!

10. FAF – Focus Act And Follow-Through

Start FAFing around! Know that if you want to get things done you have to FAF.

There we have it. A comprehensive list of inspirational acronyms you can remember and use at anytime. Do you have any of your own that you’ve invented? If so feel free to share them here.

      Hey Evelyn,

      Thanks for commenting. I thought the movie was ok. It was very long but the effects were amazing and I sort of like disaster films because they do make you think. 🙂
