What gets you out of bed in the morning? What floats your boat, lifts your skirt, puts lead in your pencil? What do you care deeply about? What makes you come alive, truly Alive? These things are more important than you might realise.
Completely attached to making life the way you want it to, forcing and pushing and controlling? Or flowing with, waiting until, moving at the perfect time with ease and grace and flow? The choice, as they say, is yours.
‘You are made of the finest stuff’ … strong words you may not believe. But in living a Good life, you have to distrust what your mind says in this matter. It’s a fine servant but a terrible master.
Intentionally creating your day as you go is so much wiser and such an easier way of living than crashing through it hoping for the best. Here’s some things to remember as you do that.
There is sanctuary, a place free from struggle and strife where all is well. It’s so simple to choose for … and yet so elusive to so many. Here’s the low down.
Just because the world is doing it, doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea – or that you have to. Faster and faster, chasing the cheese, afraid we’ll miss out …? That’s not really a way to live, is it?

Imagine if freedom from over-thinking and reacting was a simple and straightforward matter of learning the right tools? Imagine if you could choose to get out of the past and future, and anchor yourself in the aliveness of the present moment. Wouldn’t that be lovely?
Happiness and freedom from over-thinking and reaction can seem like the hardest thing to consistently find in life. But maybe it can be easy when you know exactly what to do to?
Most of us don’t realise the vital and essential importance of regularly withdrawing from the action of life. Now – you can merely take a break; or you can take a break that is a springboard to more. Maximise your precious time and choose the latter.
