Yours Choices Reflect Your Personality



Happy by Turia Pitt

My favourite book has recently changed, as in this week kind of recently. Reason being, it created the tiniest of pivot’s in my thinking that has turned my outlook upside down and right way up with such an improved view on life!

I used to always name, ‘Expecting Adam’ as my favourite book because it too, turned my viewpoint right around, so it kind of scaffolded me to my current favourite. ‘Expecting Adam’ had been my fave for decades and I’ve read a lot more of Martha Beck’s books which I also loved.

Pay it Forward movie

The takeaway message for me has always been that “people are too scared to try.” This has catapulted me forwards on so many occasions! But beware, if you do watch it, it is a tearjerker.

Separate Bathrooms Podcast

I only discovered this podcast late last year. It covers all aspects of relationships in a real and relatable way. Intimate, emotional, funny and realistic, it has something for everyone.


Mantra

This is also a recent discovery. In a conversation with my sister, she posed the question, “What would love do?” So after our conversation I thought about it and felt it to be a bit vague, so I dug deeper. ‘What would love say?’ came to mind as something more tangible that I could put into effect. Next time you feel annoyed with your partner, consider this mantra before letting lose on a flurry of colourful words.

Now your turn:

📗 It could be a book or genre.
 ðŸŽ¥ Movie or series.
🎙 Podcast,YouTube or Clubhouse room or even a song.
🗣 Mantra, quote, question or affirmation.

It’s important to have positive things that we use each of our senses for to elicit different responses in various situations. That way we always have something positive to fallback on, no matter the situation.

The Kind of Life You Want

Redefining Love and Marriage https://unsplash.com/@jennymarvin Committing to a life-long marriage through difficult times takes a lot of courage. I had to define for myself the kind of life I wanted. Was I willing to forgo some of my identity to take on the characteristics of a partner who, just 30 years ago, was a complete stranger to me? Had I really got to know him at all? In this life that we share, how deeply had we truly got to know each other? Not so deeply at all, I was to learn. In spite of the many epiphanies through our year-long travel escapade, what we did on a daily basis in the humdrum of a nine to five lifestyle eroded the  lessons learnt and the coping mechanisms we had adopted. Outwardly we have a wonderfully marvelous life, yet our invisible introspection, unseen by those around us, slowly dims the light in both of our eyes. Old habits took over as we forgot to create special moments together. Our lives became mechanical. Learning to redefine the meaning of l...

There's Always a Solution I said this to a friend the other day who was struggling with tech stuff. She was so grateful for the boost that  she persevered for an entire week , but she did it!  So let’s just expand on the notion here, that ' there's always a solution.' Elora Canne - Memoir Writer I'm delighted to share my conversation with you, from the Living Big Mindfully podcast where host, Kate Champion, and I discussed many later-in-life relationship topics.  But I'm particularly interested in sharing with you, the notion that there is indeed always a solution .  Not only in everyday life situations, as told above, but also in those deeper, more difficult to navigate situations as you'll discover on the podcast. There is always a way around a hurdle,  even if you can't jump over it. To listen in on our conversation, insights and solutions, tap this link:  Living Big Mindfully Podcast Book News: 🫂 Allow me to focus, just for a minute, on those solut...
