19.01.2022 #COVID19 is changing the way we live, work and connect. For many, our daily routine has changed, and we need to set a new one, especially in isolation. The begi...nning of the week is a great time to start a new routine including sleeping, exercising and healthy eating. Most importantly, block out some hours to stay offline, and lock in time to connect with your loved ones. Keep an eye on our feed for more tips on keeping mentally healthy during this time. #InThistogether For more visit bit.ly/InThisTogether-video See more

15.01.2022 Self Care is a MUST for Spiritual Success
14.01.2022 "Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh. There was a pause. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet. "No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do." ..."That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. "What are you doing?" asked Pooh. "Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either. "But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh." And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right." A.A. Milne Sending thoughts to everyone having a Difficult Day today. I hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you
14.01.2022 Have you heard about the Tapping technique? Its a scientifically proven technique that works to rewire the brain by sending calming signals to the amygdala, ...the stress center of the brain, allowing both the body and brain to release limitations from negative experiences, emotions, thoughts and much more that hold us back from creating the life we want. Most people dont realize how big of an impact chronic stress has on their life. It effects their health, their ability to think clearly, and their ability to be happy and to create the life they want. It doesnt have to be this way though! The Tapping Solution App will you give access to free Tapping Meditations that can guide you to release any stress, anxiety, overwhelm or other negative emotions you may be feeling in minutes. Download the app now to try for yourself.

13.01.2022 Best thing I've read in ages ... "Get a rat and put it in a cage and give it two water bottles. One is just water, and one is water laced with either heroin or ...cocaine. If you do that, the rat will almost always prefer the drugged water and almost always kill itself very quickly, right, within a couple of weeks. So there you go. Its our theory of addiction. Bruce comes along in the 70s and said, Well, hang on a minute. Were putting the rat in an empty cage. Its got nothing to do. Lets try this a little bit differently. So Bruce built Rat Park, and Rat Park is like heaven for rats. Everything your rat about town could want, its got in Rat Park. Its got lovely food. Its got sex. Its got loads of other rats to be friends with. Its got loads of colored balls. Everything your rat could want. And theyve got both the water bottles. Theyve got the drugged water and the normal water. But heres the fascinating thing. In Rat Park, they dont like the drugged water. They hardly use any of it. None of them ever overdose. None of them ever use in a way that looks like compulsion or addiction. Theres a really interesting human example Ill tell you about in a minute, but what Bruce says shows that both the right-wing and left-wing theories of addiction are wrong. So the right-wing theory is its a moral failing, youre a hedonist, you party too hard. The left-wing theory is it takes you over, your brain is hijacked. Bruce says its not your morality, its not your brain; its your cage. Addiction is largely an adaptation to your environment. Weve created a society where significant numbers of our fellow citizens cannot bear to be present in their lives without being drugged, right? Weve created a hyperconsumerist, hyperindividualist, isolated world that is, for a lot of people, much more like that first cage than it is like the bonded, connected cages that we need. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. And our whole society, the engine of our society, is geared towards making us connect with things not people. If you are not a good consumer capitalist citizen, if youre spending your time bonding with the people around you and not buying stuffin fact, we are trained from a very young age to focus our hopes and our dreams and our ambitions on things we can buy and consume. And drug addiction is really a subset of that." ~ Johann Hari For more ... https://www.ted.com//johann_hari_everything_you_think_you_ - ** About the work of Bruce K. Alexander
