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

Whelmed

This week I want to talk to you about the extremes we often feel in our day-to-day life. These days feeling overwhelmed can easily become a daily occurrence. There are family commitments, housework commitments, work commitments, social media, emails… the list goes on and on and I’m betting you’ve often felt like it’s all just […]

First, take five or six breaths through your mouth… […]

Mouth Taping

Grounded

It’s Thursday again already – are you finding it hard to keep track of the days with all these bank holidays? With the weather beginning to warm up a little, we can all get outside in the fresh air a bit more. That fits perfectly with this week’s mental sunshine, which is another word from […]

Alive

How are you feeling today? May is the month of bank holidays (three this year!), and of spring doing its thing. We should be seeing more of the sun, and the world around us will spring into life. When was the last time you felt really alive? I mean, obviously, we’re all alive – but […]
