2009-03-09T23:15:00.000Z

I have found that what you put out spiritually tends to get reflected back to you. But it's so easy to get caught up yet again in complaints and fear.

Thanks for the reminder again that I need to practice putting out more positive and much less negative!

Having just come back from a work place who take any opportunity to bad mouth the boss (and I guess which workplace doesn't?) I am proud for having kept my opinions to myself. It was quite difficult, but I feel the better person for not being dragged into it. Thank you for this post.

Dear Heather,
I saw the nice mention of my blog, The Happiness Project, here. I so much appreciate those kind words and you shining a spotlight on my blog! Thanks and best wishes, Gretchen Rubin

Oh dear - is she practising for being a teenager ;-) or are you being an unreasonable mother;-) or are you both very similar. I've got it all to come. We have our moments and I just make sure we keep the channels of communication open even if it means being shouted at (me, that is - that gets shouted at lol).
Big hugs

Yay! That's great M.
Make sure you put that memory somewhere safe - so you can use it again in the future.

Hi Heather,

Very true.

Feeling stressed at work today, I imagined myself sitting in our favourite cafe in Edinburgh with a glass of hot milk...

The stress vanished.

Now that is a treat M. Not only did it make you feel like a new woman, but you can re-live the experience whenever you need a little lift - (see last week's Stress Tip):)Hx

2009-02-23T20:46:00.000Z

Absolutely right.

I've just come back from a fantastic treat - a weekend trip to Edinburgh with my husband.

I feel a new woman.

Give yourself a break - you deserve it!

2009-02-23T17:08:31.941Z

Alex - oooh, I like the idea of outer space. One of my visualisations for children involves floating around in space and I always find it really relaxing. Maybe I should do some for adults too!

Gosh Jane - it WAS years ago wasn't it! I can't believe how the time has flown. I'm so glad you are still using the tools I showed you, they really are for life. Sometimes, we can go for years not needing them - but they are always there, in case of emergencies.

Heather told me about these several years ago and it's true it really works.
I've just come back from Sardinia (and have never left my desk!)

My virtual holidays involve TV or a good book. As I don't have space to buy more books and the library doesn't have English language titles, I take little voyages into the world of TV shows. Mindless and wonderfully relaxing (or cathartic in the case of Battlestar Galactica).

Great post, as always!

Antonella,
I hope it helps for you to know there are others out there in a similar position.
And there are others out there ready and willing to listen if you need to offload.
Much love

Go for it Jane. You'll feel great afterwards.Hx
