A perfect lie-in. You know, the kind where you're awake at 7.30 but manage to get back to sleep for another 3 hours. No guilt. No schedule. Happy.
#5 – Sleeping the clock around
#4 – Its worth looking up
Swindon. Not the most obvious place to find Happy. But a quick glance to the sky and you can't but feel, well, happy. A cheeky glass of bubbles to celebrate Mum's birthday certainly helped me find the beauty in Swindon town centre 🙂
#3 – Build a Rocket, Boys
My new egg cups made me chuckle. I do love a bit of good industrial design. Which got me thinking about Jonathan Ive and that made me smile some more. And then I saw this. Back to chuckling.
#2 – The joy of no mayonnaise
Amongst an angst ridden day of rain and wind I found 'happy'. Firstly in a Prêt a Manger Sandwich. No mayo and no stupid green stuff, so this was a gem of a find. And then Steph, McDonalds and Austentatious. A brilliant combination.
#1 – Being part of something big
Today I organised a lecture for Jeremy Gilley from Peace One Day who has spent the last 15 years convincing the world that the 21st September should be an annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence. Today I helped him spread his message a little wider. That makes me happy.
#30 – 30 Days of Meditation. DONE
"30 days of" making myself sit still are over. I wanted to celebrate and finish challenge number one on a high but my morning high has morphed into seething anger which i'm trying hard to contain. I will contain it because I know I can. Still. So onwards. Tomorrow I start my second "30 days... Continue Reading →
#29 – Almost there
Well, i've almost completed challenge #1. WHOOP, as they say. Its been a mixed old bag, with benefits coming in fits and starts and my enthusiasm waining when time feels tight. I think I was expecting some huge shifts in attitude and mind control - that 30 days of meditation would make me Yoda -... Continue Reading →
#25 – Again? Really?
It's hard going. I even resorted to a 10 min meditation this morning for no good reason at all. Time to rewind and remind myself why I'm doing this. And how to make it easier. Can't loose faith now or it'll never become a habit and I want this habit.
#21 – Street Wisdom
A few months ago I spent a December morning wandering around London's West End as part of Street Wisdom, a free learning session arranged by David Pearl. Few hints were given about the morning's content before we turned up so I went into it with curiosity high. Over the course of a couple of hours... Continue Reading →
#20 – Drunk & Orderly
Its been a busy few days and i've been spending just 10 minutes meditating in the evening as the thought of getting up earlier than 5.30am wasn't something I could comprehend. Better something little than nothing at all, I thought. I meditated tonight whilst a little tipsy - it was a huge success. Possibly because... Continue Reading →
