Don't Worry ..... Be Happy

Even though this is a rather irritating song and not to mention the music video! There is something to be said for the mind-set. What is the point of spending all our life energy stressing about what is out of our control as well as what has not taken place yet.

January blues are upon us…. Gone are the festive days of the summer holiday with friends and family and some may even have been fortunate to have visited exotic places and far distant shores.

Now it is back to reality and facing the doom and gloom of our beloved country. A stern look at our individual attitude is required to avoid throwing in the towel…. “hello darkness my old friend – I’ve come to talk to you again….” (love that song especially by Disturbed)

I hear cannabis oil improves the sense of humour…. but…. for a control freak like me, the chill pill is not an option, even though it sounds euphoric.

Finding the humour in tough situations is an art form. Maybe we should set up humour workshops, teaching each other how to belly laugh in the face of despair. My Germanic heritage does not have a sense of humour we are aware of –

Realistically we need to focus on what is IN our control and be clear about what is OUT of our control. Be grateful for what we DO have instead of what we wish we had.

Looking at the less fortunate always snaps me out of my self-imposed pity party, however it also wakes up the fire breathing dragon within me toward the failings of leadership.

Invest in yourself this year 2020 - find your balance again! Your body is your temple. Care for it and treat it with respect. Your mind needs stimulation and awareness of the thoughts and the tone and choice of your spoken words. Your heart needs empathy and nurturing. Your soul needs spiritual food, mindfulness and contemplation.

Heal the past so that you can fully embrace the future possibilities. Just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels our soul – you can only really laugh when you are free!

We are in control of what attitude we bring to our life experiences – every single day. You are responsible for the effect you have on the people who share your life. Everywhere you go physically, you leave a wake of energy – you contaminate or you up-lift. You can’t change history but you can change how you view and feel about the past. It is all up to you!
