Greetings to YOU,
Wow its been long since I blogged...

Well I was on Radio 702 to chat about laughter yoga. Whats it all about? Where it all started? How its being used?

I could not sleep totally anxious, felt not prepared at all. So i created a list of possible questions and with it some great answers. I learned it but still felt that I did not know enough. i was not ready not perfect.

I fussed over the questions and answers. Googled to see if i could make it sound more flowery. I need to sound professional, sound perfect. I dont have enough experience.  I sound monotone. I will sound like a fool.

I went to the interview all anxious, had very little sleep. I completed the interview, I was exhausted. I sounded like a fool, I did not know all the answers, will people  like me. It all zooming in my mind.

After the a few days, I thought to myself,. This is the first interview I gave live on radio. It was not bad. The next time I give a interview I will get better and will stop givng myself such a hard time trying to be perfect and feeling never prepared. The treasure is in the doing and gaining experience. What if i did make a mistake I

GREETINGS TO YOU

We send healing energy and strength to those families impacted by the dreadful event in Norway!

The tradegy in Norway is horrendous. It makes you sense that life is so fragile and can be taken from you in one moment. The families affected - their lives have been totally turned upside down. They have to review their lives and decide how to move forward. This was forced on them by an incident in life. Can you imagine how difficult it must for them?
Do you require to experience some life changing tragedy to make you realise that we do not live forever?  Do you require something drastic to make you appreciate that you are still alive to live, enjoy and improve your lot? Can events like the tsunami in Japan or shooting in Norway help you understand that how lucky we are?

I implore you to use and understand these huge tragic events to engage in life. Feel life, taste life, enjoy life, have fun, extend yourself, engage with people  nature family. Count your blessings! Create a life filled with rich experiences and adventure! Leave your mark.....I dare you!
Till next time ;)

Good day to YOU
Hope you are keeping well.
I have been considering about lonliness. The feeling that really make one feel worthless. You have so many people around you yet there is this disconnection from people and the world. This sinking feeling is so painful. Each of us experience this feeling even though we can be in a intimate relationship. We feel guilty for feeling lonely. There is no explanation for this feeling of loneliness.
Its ok to feel this way. When you feeling lonely the trick is not to withdraw into your shell or shut yourself from the world. This is the time to master all the courage and reach out to just one person. Talk to people. Go visit a place where there are kids playing. Go where there are many people. If that is too much just doing some work like water the garden, clean your closet, clean the house, go for a walk,etc. Start moving, start dancing to some fun upbeat music, start singing your favourite songs. Get into motion. Motion creates positive emotion. It will really make you feel better. That sinking feeling will get less.
Just remember the one person that really loves and that is yourself.

Greetings to ONE & ALL

Have you heard the prayer : "God, grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change Courage to change the things I can,  and wisdom to know the difference."

The Serenity Prayer is so powerful. Trying to force change and fighting change causes pain. Going against the grain or flow of life causes anxiety and stress. Becoming aware of personal change versus external change is the key.  Identifying what can be changed and what cannot be changed is powerful knowledge and a gift. Its the secret to personal growth and self-empowerment. This knowledge and awareness is a path to becoming wise. Using this wisdom leads to a path of liberation, inner peace, great understanding and higher thinking. 

"God, grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change Courage to
change the things I can,  and wisdom to know the difference."
 
Till we meet again.... 

A jolly good day to YOU!
Hope you are well.
I am sure each one of us have elaborate conversations with ourselves. The chats are normally about analysing something, about someone associated with some emotion like anger, boredom, guilt, irritation, the list is endless. Then we add ego to the chats! Now you have recipe for the way you look at things, the way you see yourself, how you makes decisions. Now the inner voice has developed patterns and formulaes to go about its daily dose of chats. The inner voice is set in its ways after so much practice over so many years.

Now you read something or some life circumstances make you want to change. You excited, motivated, ready for action. You start the change but midway you give up... you notice that its easier to follow the old way of doing things.  You land up experiencing the same patterns again. Its like a rerun of your life events.

Sometimes we need help from other people or maybe from books or a spiritual guide to tame our inner critic. It's a long process but its definitely worth the trip...Your destination will be wonderous.

Till next time ....;)

A jolly good day to YOU!
 How hopeful are you?
How much faith do you have?
Kids have abundant sense of hope and faith. Their sense of wonderment is just intoxicating. You just want to bathe in the spirit of laughter fun joy. Kids are so inquisitive they have this thirst for knowledge and adventure.

We are now all grown up. Been polished by society norms. We have been told to behave in a certain manner. In the interim we have lost touch with ourselves - the core of our being. . We need to stop get in touch with ourselves by meditating, walking in silence, exercising, etc whichever one feels comfortable.

Our hope, faith, spirit of adventure, joy are all dormant inside in our internal attic. Dust-off all the cobwebs, polish it, and bring forth the hope, joy, faith. Life will be so much more interesting and fun

Till we meet next time...;)

A jolly good day to YOU.

Are you at a point in your life where you dont know what to do?

There so many of us that dont know where or what our passion/life purpose is. We have to date merrily carried on. Directionless! Life has happened to us. We are not content with life a the moment. Feel in a rut.

There is hope. First write down what talents you have eg.. good with people.  Dont be shy! be brave! Jot down all your talents on the list no matter how small or big. Its your list! It belongs to you! Now stop doubting, analysing or thinking! Just write! Have FUN.

Now select one talent from the list a BIG ONE, think of ways you can use this. Whether its for career or personal life. Then explore what your options are or what seems interesting where you can use this talent to move forward in a positive way in your worklife or personal life. Choose one, make a commitment and then action it... see where life takes you. You will learn so much about yourself. It will definitely be worth it. GO AHEAD..

Till we meet next time...;)

A jolly good to YOU!

Each one of us have doubts and fears. Doubts are a result of fear of something.

Fears can have such a profound effect on the inner voice and image we have about things and ourselves. All the assumptions that we carry with us are a outcome of the fears that we have.  It is through these fears that have influenced our beliefs of what we can do or cant do, who we can love or not, whether we belong or not, the way we should look, etc. The list is endless.

The key is to determine what kind of fear you have and find your own way to overcome your fears. It is absolutely liberating to conquer ones fear. YAHOOOO....Feel free and light


Till we meet next time...;)

A jolly good day to YOU

How you mentally talk to yourself and what you  mentally "see"  can be
determining for the results in your life."

You continually talk to yourself and create images of how things should be or is. Your reality is the way you think and percieve things. You need to slow down your self-talk and images you see in your mind, to really understand and make any change that needs to be made.
 
If you want to change your life and reality, change your thinking and mind
 
Till we meet next time... ;)

A jolly good day to you....

What is your dress style?
Do you take it seriously?
Do you know what your current dress style say about you?
We seem to take our dress style for granted. Its amazing the way one dresses is noticed by so many people. At work, parties, weddings, braais, etc - your dress style can be a great topic of conversation for many good or bad. Its underestimated the impact your dress style can have on the image you potray. What you wear and how you wear it also indicates how you view  and feel about yourself. Next time you get dress, think of the day, who you will be meeting and what kind of dress style is required. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Till we meet next time...;)
