Your Weekly Dose of Mental Sunshine

The mind works best when it is in a state of mental sunshine.

“… no mental growth can take place without mental sunshine. Accordingly, we should resolve to be happy no matter what may transpire. We cannot afford to be otherwise. Sunshine will melt the most massive iceberg if the rays are direct and the clouds are kept away; and it is the same in daily life. No matter how cold, disagreeable and uncongenial your present environment may be, plenty of mental sunshine can change it all.” Christian D Larson

Rest

How is your week going so far? With a bank holiday weekend coming up here in the UK, I thought this was a good time to talk about rest. A lovely subscriber to this email recently sent me an article about different types of rest. I know what you’re thinking: rest is rest, right? Well, no. […]

Energy

How are your energy levels today? I read an interesting piece the other day which argued that our most valuable resource is not time, but energy. I like this idea. After all, it’s hard to increase the amount of time in the day – people are always reminding us that “we all have the same […]

STOP

How are you feeling today? How’s that to-do list looking? After last week’s tip to “eat that frog” I thought that for this week’s Mental Sunshine we would head in exactly the other direction. For this week’s Mental Sunshine, my tip is: STOP. I know what you’re thinking: Are you MAD?! But I’ve got so […]

Eat a frog

How is your to-do list looking? Today’s Mental Sunshine comes from a quote from Mark Twain: If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first. No, this email is […]

British Summer Time

Isn’t it lovely to see signs of spring all around us? The mornings and evenings are lighter; the daffodils are beginning to bloom; the birds are singing! This weekend the clocks go forward  – which is not quite as delicious as the extra hour we all got back in autumn! In the UK we also […]

World Poetry Day

This day was established by the United Nations General Assembly. The aim is to help people around the world to realise the importance of happiness in their lives. […]

World Book Day

Did you know that today is World Book Day? You might think that’s something that’s only for children – But there’s no reason we adults can’t join in! Don’t worry; I’m not expecting you to wear your Very Hungry Caterpillar costume to work… unless you want to! Since it’s World Book Day today, I thought […]

Happy Leap Day!

Happy Leap Day! How are your Mental Sunshine levels this week? Tomorrow is the beginning of a new month. It’s also Global Day of Unplugging and World Compliment Day. Global Day of Unplugging is something initiated by the US Surgeon General in an attempt to combat loneliness. He feels that we all spend so much […]
