 When we wake up in the morning, I’m sure most of us would rather feel happy than miserable. Yet, we don’t always feel that way.
Perhaps our first thoughts turn to yesterday’s mishaps, what didn’t go so well, why we’re not seeing progress, or why our relationships feel heavy at times. When this becomes a daily pattern, it’s easy to see how it can lead to feeling depressed, uninspired, and apathetic about life. In this low energy state, we’re far more likely to fall into poor thinking and unhealthy habits that lead us nowhere good. If this is you, you probably want to get off that beaten track, don’t you? You want to feel alive again - with purpose, direction, and meaning. So, what does it mean to be happy and to feel good? And, how can you get more of this?

 When you know you are ready for change, it’s interesting how you can begin to feel a level of frustration beneath your cool and seemingly calm exterior. However, the truth is, you know you are a ticking time bomb ready to explode.
You may be feeling a low level of frustration, which can begin with irritations with your partner, resentment towards your boss or colleagues, anxiety that seems to surface at night, or waves of feeling disconnected, drained, or being ‘out of whack’ with yourself. To reduce inner overwhelm, we may be tempted to control our environment to create more calm and certainty in our lives. I get it - this used to be me. It wasn't until years later I recognised the signs, and then the 'gold'. To my disbelief - I was the one being judgmental!  Sometimes we can be our harshest critic. We may experience a series of events that leave us feeling deflated and de-motivated, low in physical energy, and we may struggle to be positive with our frame of mind. Low energy creates low vibrations for our mind and body.
In this state, we may start to believe the stories we tell ourselves - that we are either not good enough or someone else is the cause of our unhappiness. Either way, we end up lowering our vibration, over-analysing our thoughts, and drawing conclusions that don’t serve us well. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we gave ourselves a break from over-thinking, so we can feel more at peace, and love ourselves more?  Rejection is one of those deeply human experiences that can stir up feelings of unworthiness, doubt, and emotional pain. For many women, the sense of being “rejected” doesn’t always come from grand betrayals or outright dismissals, it can arise in subtle, everyday moments. When someone dismisses your opinion, withdraws emotionally, or seems unwilling to connect with you, it’s easy to interpret their behaviour as a personal slight.
But what does feeling “rejected” really mean and what can we do to feel more empowered?  Do you suffer from FOMO - that ongoing pursuit of 'happiness'?
After recently visiting an exhibition on the 'anatomy of happiness', I recognised how easily we can find ourselves chasing happiness like a moving target. Our pursuit of happiness can be tied to achievements, possessions, looking good, being financially successful, or any number of pleasurable experiences. It can feel great in the moment, and we can feel justified we are adding value and meaning to our life. But are we really? It doesn't take long before the addiction of 'gaining the perfect body', 'upgrading our wardrobe', 'seeking the ultimate partner', 'getting that promotion', or locking in that 'dream vacation' grinds us into exhaustion and we are back to feeling 'blah' again. It can feel like a never-ending cycle of going nowhere, or worse - that the pursuit of happiness is all down hill from here! So, is it actually possible?  "The Sacred Art of Exhaling: Finding Peace in the Pause"
In the chaos and noise of modern life, we can easily find ourselves moving from one task to another without pausing. This constant activity can leave us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from our true selves. This is where exhaling mentally, physically and spiritually becomes so vital. Exhaling, in the context of personal and spiritual growth, symbolises the importance of stillness and rest. Just as our bodies need time to exhale and release the built-up carbon dioxide, our minds and spirits also need moments of quiet and introspection to release stress and recharge. Taking time to exhale means intentionally slowing down, stepping away from constant stimulation, and allowing ourselves to be present. It’s about embracing stillness, reflecting on our journey, and listening to our inner voice. This practice helps us reconnect with our true essence, gain clarity, and rejuvenate our spirit. Incorporating moments of exhaling into our daily routine can lead to a more balanced, peaceful, and fulfilling life. It’s an essential part of our spiritual practice, reminding us that sometimes, the most powerful step we can take is to simply breathe. What’s one of your favourite ways to take a moment to pause, breathe and exhale?

You set goals, make promises to yourself, even take action and yet, the results don’t reflect your intentions.
What if the reason isn’t a lack of effort, but a deeper, hidden truth you’re not seeing? We Only See What We Want to See - Many of us look at our lives through a superficial lens, focusing on what we desire and setting goals around those wants. But often, we aren’t fully conscious of the underlying commitments driving our behaviour.  Have you felt the struggle of living in a constant state of mental busyness? We can feel disconnected from our body, our sense of purpose and the truth of who we are when we get caught up with the distractions of this world.
How can the Power of Deep Listening help us reconnect with our truth, live with inner calm, and enable us to be free to be our true selves? #deeplistening #selfawareness #mindfulliving  Have you recently felt like you were struck by lightning? Has your world been turned upside down and left you not knowing what to do or which direction to take?
When we are struck by significant change in our life, our world can feel like a roller coaster. Everything can feel like it's upside down, spinning too fast, or as if we are climbing Mount Everest! That awful feeling of being out of control can be the important catalyst we need to get off that roller coaster. So how do we stop the spinning so we can regain our balance and start fresh for the new journey ahead?  Adversity has a way of shaking us out of our comfort zones. When things don’t go as planned, our natural response might be resistance, wishing things were easier, or feeling disempowered by circumstances. For many of us, we may be tempted to give up.
So how can we flip adversity and transform this to become our greatest opportunity? |
