Caressing the back of your hands!

sylvia13 @sylvia13 (1850) • Nelson Bay, Australia 22 Oct 08

The backs of your hands are a way to tap into calm. Just give a very light upward stroke with your fingertips and that will help induce a relaxed state! Try it!

Positive phrases!

sylvia13 @sylvia13 (1850) • Nelson Bay, Australia 22 Oct 08

Have you noticed how one often uses phrases like: “I have to”, “I must”, “I should” or “I don’t have time”. These phrases make you feel stressed just by themselves! Instead one should use positive phrases like “I would love to”,...

Tension in life!

sylvia13 @sylvia13 (1850) • Nelson Bay, Australia 2 Oct 08

Watch out for tense people. Observe them and you will learn from them, as you will become aware of your own behaviour and reactions.

Appreciate your routines!

sylvia13 @sylvia13 (1850) • Nelson Bay, Australia 2 Oct 08

They say that any task you can do while in "remote control" has the potential to make you feel good. You can treat it as a sort of meditation as you concentrate only on the moment. Maybe you can think on that while doing your...

We spent a week on a boat cruise in Burgundy, France and that was fabulous! This was our second one, as we did the Midi a couple of years back. Croissants for breakfast, baguettes with the local cheese, pate and sausages for...

Autumn is here!

sylvia13 @sylvia13 (1850) • Nelson Bay, Australia 2 Oct 08

Autumn is already here and winter is sure to follow soon. But instead of concentrating on the negative, I have decided to be thankful for the positive which this time of the year brings, like fresh apples and pears, pumpkins, nuts...

Success, relaxation, calmness

sylvia13 @sylvia13 (1850) • Nelson Bay, Australia 2 Oct 08

A while ago I talked I wrote about being calm and relaxed and I think I will continue doing it again. To become relaxed one needs to have some degree of success, so one must learn to consider even trivial activities!
