"You know why it's hard to be happy? It's because we refuse to LET GO of things that make us sad." This is a quote from Bruce H Lipton, father of the science of Epigenetics, who is an amazing teacher, connecting science and life.

A lot of people have been telling me recently that they suffer a low level of anxiety, which is pretty constant. It might be worse when they think of doing certain things, like going out, or shopping, so they avoid those activities. It's hardly surprising if they've barely done those things for over a year now.

Do you want to beat stress? Lift your mood? Protect yourself against mental illness? The answer is simple - GET UP and MOVE! Looking along my bookshelf to find inspiration for what to write this month, I remembered a book I bought about ten years ago called SPARK! by Dr John Ratey and Eric Hagerman. It's all about how exercise can transform your mind. I've always noticed how much difference it makes when my clients decide to take up regular exercise: they make a huge leap forward, and suddenly they have more energy and more enthusiasm for life.

How do you firstly establish a relationship with yourself that is kind, generous and forgiving? The post HOW ARE YOU GETTING ON WITH YOUR PARTNER? appeared first on Getting Clear.

My friend said ‘How come my teenage daughter is nervous about going to the supermarket to get me some shopping, but not scared about her big trip to Australia?’ Well, it’s all about what we IMAGINE: When she thinks about the supermarket she thinks about x,y,z, (queues / germs / whatever). Australia? Well, that’s sunshine, new friends, freedom. The post What are YOU scared of? appeared first on Getting Clear.

Research shows that although we all breathe every moment of our life with no conscious input (after all, if we had to remember to do it we wouldn’t last long, would we), practicing some simple conscious breath techniques can be very helpful.
