A quick and easy way to solve all your mind problems (well, for some people)

You know, you can chose to look at your life as a mess or a drama

 

or,……….  just turn around and look in the opposite direction and find something peaceful

I recently came across an article about how people get stuck in ‘victim’ mode even when they are seeking psychological help and counselling.   Haven’t we all had a period where we got into the victim/helplessness way of thinking, even just for a split second? :)  For many people however, having the problem seems to give them significance and sometimes it defines their life.    

I posted the link to the article in some of the forums I belong to and got back a great reply for someone.  He included a link to a video of a comedy skit which had me laughing all day whenever I thought of it and have used those two words a few times – it works!!

Here is the link so you can enjoy it too and I’d love to hear what you think.  (You may have to copy and paste the link to view it.)

Happy Mother’s Day and lifestyle design

I have been very quiet of late in regards to writing.  The reason is that I am in the process of changing from a business offering just straight life coaching to something else.  I have done a lot of thinking about what I want and how I want it all to work and so have been working my way through some home study business programmes.  Anyway, I have tried to do it all myself and realised that I need to be with people who understand what I am doing and can support me and I can also support them so I even signed up to attend a 3 day seminar in June in an effort to really fine tune my niche and network my butt off – well…………it’s on the Gold Coast and I have rewarded myself by booking the final night at the Sea Temple !!!  

In the mean time, the past few weeks I have been able to spend time with the grandchildren:

It’s tiring being a cute baby

A teen who thinks knickers can be a substitute for a beanie

A child who also doesn’t know which part of her body corresponds to which item of clothing

Yes, apples grow on trees – they don’t already come in buckets at the farmers’ markets…….. carrying a handbag, false nails and wearing bangles can make picking a bit tricky too.

I have also watched amazing sunrises

watched a bit of surfing,

other people torturing themselves crawling in the sand

did some yoga and just chilled out in the mornings…..and no, I’m not going to post a pic of my in downward dog position

My purpose for creating a lifestyle working from home or wherever I wish?  More of all of the above …………oh yeah – something else……………travel, learning languages and having lots of different experiences   ………although I can do without being held up at a traffic accident in the rain in the mountains while I am busting to go to the loo

What’s your ideal lifestyle design?  I’d love to hear about it.
