Anxiety, stress and depression are ways of reacting to the world. Take 3 breaths & pause before reacting #ArtOfBreathing
'Reading it is like a meditation in itself... simple, beautiful and profound.'
1. We’re stuck inside a personal simulation of the “real” world. 2. Mental distress can arise from an inaccurate simulation of the ...world. 3. An ancient practice can help your simulation regain its accuracy. Next Big Idea Club
Why do we attack ourselves so when we make a mistake? These, too, are moments of learning... if we allow them to be. #ArtOfBreathing
Why not have one drink in silence today? Do it mindfully. Notice all of the sights, sounds, smells & flavours as they wash over you.
Why being more open about mental health might be making us feel worse (New Scientist) "It means the people who really do have the most ...serious mental health problems are even less acknowledged than they were before. Language is being taken away from them."
What has mindfulness ever done for us?! It reduces addictive and self-destructive behaviour

I have been living with depression and anxiety for almost 15 years and have found the mindfulness exercises I’ve done in my counselling sessions to be extremely helpful. I’d like to have some suggestions for resources to use outside of counselling to continue developing my skills. I have also found CBT to be helpful, although my exposure to this is very limited. I can imagine that the 2 in combination would make a fantastic tool for me to use in all aspects of my life. Despite my struggles, I’ve managed to achieve a challenging career specialty in the allied health professions and value greatly the strategies and tools I am able to draw on to help me manage my symptoms and allow me to get out and enjoy my life.
I just found your website today via Itunes and have just ordered this book and downloaded your course on Depression. Thanks for all of your work and research into depression – having tools to use to battle this disease has been a very powerful thing for me. I’m looking forward to having more!
Cheers!
