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

Kindness

This week’s Mental Sunshine is all about kindness. Next week (13th November) it’s World Kindness Day – so I thought now would be a good time to highlight the benefits of kindness. If you’re thinking, But John, surely kindness only benefits the person you’re kind to… you are mistaken! Yes, it’s true that if I do something kind for you, you […]

Nature

Well, the clocks have gone back; it’s Halloween… safe to say we’re heading towards winter fairly quickly! I know some people really struggle with the dark and the cold at this time of year. I like to think my weekly Mental Sunshine ideas provide you with a bank of ideas for ways to lift your mood a little. This week’s email is one of those ones that […]

Comfort Zone

This week’s Mental Sunshine is all about your comfort zone. It’s nice to be comfortable, right? So we could all be forgiven for thinking that if we stay within our comfort zone, that’s guaranteed to bring Mental Sunshine our way. Actually, the opposite is true. When we stay within our comfort zone, it shrinks around us. When we do something that takes us […]

Embrace Uncertainty

Are you in need of a bit of Mental Sunshine to brighten things up a bit as we head into the weekend? This week’s tip is to embrace uncertainty. Typically, the human brain hates uncertainty. It will do anything to avoid it, often sabotaging situations just so that it can know what’s happening. It encourages us to avoid anything different – […]

Time

How is your week going so far? I send these emails out each week in the hope of bringing a little Mental Sunshine into your day. It makes me feel good to think I might have brightened someone else’s day. That’s what this week’s email is all about – making it about someone else. We are all the star of our own epic movie. We walk […]

Binaural Beats

This week’s Mental Sunshine is all about listening to music – but I don’t mean your favourite band at all! In fact, the kind of music I’m going to suggest you listen to has no words… and probably won’t have a tune you can hum along to either. Have you heard of binaural beats before? Binaural beats are a phenomenon that happens when a different […]

3 Things

With the equinox last weekend, and all the rain these past few days it’s feeling a lot more like autumn. Well, we might be missing the bright sunshine outside, but this email is all about bringing you some Mental Sunshine to improve your week. This week, it’s a tip I heard about from an interview […]

What could go right?

This week’s Mental Sunshine follows on from last week’s email – which was all about changing your thinking to consider, What could go right? The other side of thinking about what might go well in the future is the part where you look back over the day’s events. Be honest – when someone asks you […]

Superstitious?

Tomorrow is Friday 13th – A superstitious day for some. This got me thinking… If something goes wrong on Friday 13th, people will often blame it on the unlucky date. Some may even wake up tomorrow morning and think, Oh, Friday 13th… what’s going to go wrong today… In fact, many of us have that […]

Awe

Can you believe we’re in September already? Time flies on by, doesn’t it! This week’s Mental Sunshine is a bit… nebulous. It’s one of those things it’s hard to pin down – but once you get it, you understand. This week we’re talking about awe. I don’t mean that overused word, AWESOME Rather, I mean […]
