Take A Peek Into My Mind (via my Morning Pages)

I was introduced to the Morning Pages via Julia Cameron’s Book “The Artist’s Way” and it’s the time I spend ‘with myself’ to really hear what’s going on in my head. Sometimes during these sessions solutions also come through and sometimes it’s just an opportunity to vent without needing to find a solution.

Today I’m sharing with you some of the themes that have appeared on my morning pages with additional thoughts and quotes. Doing this can take the process to a whole new level of understanding and growth, and also might make you consider whether the morning pages are something you might be interested in doing.

Theme 1 – Procrastination

A lack of clarity could put the brakes on any journey to success.
― Steve Maraboli

I started the month knowing that I hadn’t progressed as far with my goals as I would have liked, and the same was true of life in general too. [Read more…] about Take A Peek Into My Mind (via my Morning Pages)

30 Things That Make Me Happy

It’s been a challenging week with little opportunity for deep, creative thinking. That can be frustrating, but I decided to shift my perception from frustrated to ‘how can I take advantage of this limited amount of time?’.

The result was to create a “Things That Make Me Happy” list!

There’s no sense of order in this list, I’ve written it exactly as it came out of my head.

The most interesting thing to me about the list is how simple it is. All these things are easily doable, but, we clutter our lives with so many “shoulds” and “musts” that it can be easy to lose sight of the easy little things we can do or indulge in every day that will lift our mood a little.

So let’s not babble on any more…here’s my 30 Things That Make Me Happy List 🙂 ! [Read more…] about 30 Things That Make Me Happy

5 Tips For Creating a Sense of Wellbeing

by

Many of us struggle on a daily basis with creating a sense of wellbeing. Often our internal monologue feeds us a stream of pessimism, beating us up over the things we haven’t done, reminders of our failures along with thoughts of the people we think we’ve offended and a list of ‘should haves’ which could equal a telephone directory. We then supplement this with a daily dose of ‘news’ just to make sure that we haven’t missed anything worthy of our negative attention.

Naturally this isn’t going to do much to improve our sense of wellbeing. That elusive feeling of calmness, balance, control or serenity, to name but a few adjectives which the word ‘wellbeing’ might conjure up for you.

But there are ways you can regain or create a sense of wellbeing, and they are well worth the effort of doing. Because creating a sense of wellbeing has a profound knock on effect for your life and also has the added benefit of being cumulative. By that, I mean the more you do it, the more you get! Win-win!

So if you’re in need of a boost to your sense of wellbeing, try some or all of these tips. Work them into your daily routine and remind yourself often (we sometimes just forget to do these things) so that you can maintain your sense of wellbeing over the long term.
