Managing yourself for a happier life: the 3 Ds

Meditation is good for learning to go within, find a calmness and re-connect with your sub-conscious mind, higher self or soul depending on your beliefs.  I call it my ‘inner you’ as there is a familiarity with yourself.  Meditation is refreshing.  Afterwards your body feels less tense and your conscious mind clearer.  I often have my best thoughts after a meditation.  Meditation is almost as good as sleep and definitely a friend if you feel jaded and tired.

When you have made regular meditation part of your life and learnt to remain still for 20 minutes, what should you expect?  Most people are seeking a happier life, but what makes for a happier life? read more

Relief of finding calmness

Sometimes life’s challenges feel overwhelming.  Challenges are opportunities to learn life lessons.  They are not meant to be so hard that they break you, but they are meant to be ‘challenging’.  This is sometimes needed to get you to listen.

When you feel overwhelmed; step back, take a few deep breadths and re-assess the situation you find yourself in.  Listening to the calm, rationale voice within you.  It can be enlightening.  You will be surprised at how objective and fair that voice is.  However it can take some diligence to hear the voice over your anger, frustration or fear. read more
