Meditation involves clearing the mind and finding inner peace within our chaotic minds.  It sounds very easy, but in fact is rather difficult.  My mind seems to be on auto pilot and when i try to achieve inner calm and de-clutter, all sorts of thought pop up in my mind.  I aim to crack this by building a couple of minutes of peace at a time, and slowing down to enjoy the quiet within.  Ommmmmmmm.

Time is something which controls all our lives yet we never seem to have enough of it.  In this day and age when technology does virtually everything for us why is it we are still short of time?  On closer evaluation the answer appears simple; there are too many daily distractions and too many unrealistic objectives.  We are all running on the treadmill of life instead of taking a breather and taking the steady approach.  One really needs to set small tasks, avoiding over juggling and remembering to clock off and rest.  Forget checking on work emails last thing at night, your time is precious manage it well unless you wish to become a prisoner of time.

Why do men not enjoy shopping whilst most women love spending hours browsing?  In recent studies it has been discovered that this behaviour is down to our past, mans main role was to hunt, acting rapidly through seeking, finding, capturing and delivering food to their families. Were as women used to forage, taking their time to collect, and therefore enjoying browsing, looking for bargains, colour coding and collecting items.  So it is official it is okay for me to be bored and catch some shut eye when my wife takes me around the grocery store!

Super heroes come in all forms, and whilst your first thoughts may lead to imagining a buff, muscle man in tight leotards, saving people in trouble, you will be excused for being seriously wrong!!! I am not referring to that type of super hero.  I am referring to the super hero of the week……. FRIDAY, the special day when we all release a sigh of relief to have reached the end of the week!  Have an amazing weekend re-charge and get ready for another fantastic week ahead.

It may sound obvious, but there is a technique for effective sheep counting. 1. Find a quiet location 2. Slip on your Ostrich Pillow 3. Visualise a large group of chubby  sheep all huddled up. 4. Picture a fence and commence counting backwards from ’100′ whilst visualising each sheep jumping over the fence. 5. Don’t be cruel and picture injuries or accidents whilst the sheep try to clear the fence, this is not kind! 6. If you are still awake by the time you get to ’0′, start again and this time do it properly!!!!
