“Awakening is not changing who you are, but discarding who you are not.” Deepak Chopra ✨

It’s been a week full of mindfulness workshops. Locally with this wonderful team from @warlimontandnutt, Australia wide with some great corporate and NFP clients and globally on @insighttimer. ✨

Even if you’re not into meditation, mindfulness practices such as the following will bring you back to the present moment and help balance the negative bias of the brain.

1. Upon waking, ask yourself "What will make today a good day?" and make sure you find time for whatever that is. Try including something that constitutes self-care.

2. At midday, express appreciation or gratitude for someone in your life. Send a thank you email or text or verbally acknowledge the qualities you value in them.

3. At the end of the day, reflect on the best part of your day. Share these things with your housemates or if you live alone, reach out to a friend and ask them if they’d be open to sharing a ‘gratitude text’ at 6pm every day.

These may sound like simple platitudes but there’s strong evidence to suggest that when we express gratitude and focus on what’s going well on a regular basis, we build new neural pathways in our brains making us more resilient and content in our lives. 🙌

“Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.” Nisargadatta Maharaj ✨

"Don't let people pull you into their storm. Pull them into your peace." Kimberly Jones ✨

“Today expect something good to happen to you no matter what occurred yesterday. Realize the past no longer holds you captive. It can only continue to hurt you if you hold on to it. Let the past go. A simply abundant world awaits.” Sarah Breathnach ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“One must live as if it would be forever, and as if one might die each moment. Always both at once.” Mary Renault ⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make plans for the future believing you can be the most courageous, creative and gracious version of yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But equally, don’t want to wait until then to make your life beautiful.

Every morning, ask yourself, “What will make today a good day?”.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Drink your tea mindfully, walk before breakfast, offer words of kindness to a friend, really listen to your children and your partner, sing and dance and paint and write poetry, even if you’re not good at those things.

Slow down once every day for long enough to look up at the vast expanse of sky above you and remind yourself that there’s room in your life for everything. ✨

“A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.” Ralph Waldo Emerson⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I heard this quote recently when I listened to Krista Tippett interview Nicholas Christakis, Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale University, on the @onbeing podcast. ⠀
⠀
Nicholas spoke to Krista about how humans (unlike most other species) are innately good and kind to one another. It's a wonderful reminder that the news reports we hear about conflict are only one small part of the story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The podcast episode is well worth a listen but the message is very simple. Our social connections are precious and believing in the goodness of our fellow humans goes a long way to making life meaningful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
