Most of us live in a world where we are always chasing the ‘next thing’ and want it to come to us easily and quickly. But we fail to see what we already have in our lives and appreciate this – we don’t see how the past challenges and struggles we have had add up to who we are now and what we have learned.
Gratitude – feeling thankful for other people, for life’s gifts and for everything we’ve heard, seen and experiences is immensely powerful. Gratitude is a powerful, positive emotion and research shows that it has many psychological, physical, interpersonal and spiritual benefits. There are strong links between gratitude and mental health and well as cultivating optimism, hope, compassion and joy.
History has taught us that when there is a crisis, many people rise up and show up like they’ve never done before. In Japan, the word crisis has two symbols –one meaning danger and the other, opportunities – opportunities to move our lives in a different direction.
In this podcast I want to help you kick start your life and head out on a journey of 365 days of working on yourself, installing the habits you need to be healthy, happy and fulfilled in everything you do.
What is most obvious is that most people are driven by a mindset of having. They believe they need to have things to be happy. The truth is, though, ‘stuff’ doesn’t bring happiness. It isn’t what you have, it is who are are. That is when life becomes truly extraordinary. When you learn to be who you are meant to be.
When you look at the statistics of those who have lost their lives to Coronavirus something becomes very clear. The vast majority of deaths have been of people who had an underlying health condition.
We are in the midst of an unprecedented set of circumstances: a pandemic which is claiming thousands of lives every day; shortages of basic food and products; schools and public places close; government restrictions on our movement…
As I record this the world is in lock-down to prevent the spread of Coronavirus and we are living in a time that is outside the experience of us all. So, as we work together to manage in these extreme circumstances, I do my part in the only way I know how – to inspire.
In this episode, I share how we all love a good story. Right from early childhood, it is something we all latch on to and enjoy. That’s why we love films – because of the stories they tell and because we can identify with the characters. Have you ever dreamed of being Superman or Erin Brokovitch or Luke Skywalker?
