Happiness

A Peaceful Mind is Everything!

How does this quote sit with you?

"Your thoughts are the source of virtually everything in your life." Wayne Dyer.

I often speak of how we can be stuck in the cycle of constant 'doing'- it's like we can't turn off sometimes.

But, have you noticed how much your mind is turned on too?
And what is the quality of those thoughts? Are they stress thoughts or empowering thoughts?

Your mind is c o n s t a n t l y chattering away in your head?

And, it's really loud when you finally lie down in bed at night? Right?


Take a look at the photo above. I took this picture when I was on vacation on Vancouver Island, B.C. Can you see the crescent moon or the people walking further down the beach?

Really take it in.

Sitting on the beach at dusk that day was absolutely breathtaking and sooo peaceful!
I'm sure you've had similar experiences.

But let's be honest, that peace we feel in our body and mind can evaporate quickly as we leave the scene and step back into our lives. It's a bit like that feeling we sometimes have a few days after a vacation ends - you don't feel like you even went on it.

The best way that I know how to maintain inner peace, is to practise it. Practise feeling it and activating it.
As Eckhart Tolle says, "Create a background of peace".

🔥 This is important because when the headwinds or stormy weather of your life show up, it's easier to face when you have a background of inner peace.

So...
I've been working on a special practise series
that helps you to consistently build that background of peace in a fun and easy way.

It all starts on June 1st.
I invite you to head over to, and click the follow button my Facebook Page HERE to watch for the details.

Family Tip- practise peace with children with music, nature, pets, floating...

Build Happiness Pathways in Your Brain with Gratitude

Path in Woods square.jpeg

All day long we're building pathways, pathways in our brain. Neuropathways.
Let's build Happiness pathways!

Your Happiness is an essential nutrient for life.

Happiness. Contentment. Joy. Fulfillment.

Let's get MORE of it.

We all know that each time we walk down the same path it becomes more familiar.
A familiar path gets easier and easier.
The same goes for our neural pathways-repetition wires them in.

Research* has shown that Gratitude builds many neuro pathways...
This week let's build your brain's PATHways to HAPPINESS.

Step 1: Notice things to be grateful for. (Look for beautiful moments.)
Step 2: Think about why they trigger gratitude. (List it out.)
Step 3: Feel your connection to those things. (How does your body feel?)
Step 4: Act on expressing those things. (Write a card/email, Say thank you. Share the gratitude.)

Feeling stuck? Try asking:

  • What is the best part of your day?

  • What other ways can you say 'thank you 'without using those 2 words.

  • What food are you most grateful for today?

Gratitude also builds your MOTIVATION pathways.
I teach you an easy gratitude 'life-hack' to get motivated to exercise in this video.

Notice how your happiness overflows to those around you!
Remember, you always have an impact.
