4EFT Life Now
I have changed the title of my blog to Life Now because a blog is just a snapshot of the moment in which is written. So here are some 'now moments' of a therapist/author

I believe we are living in the most exciting of times even though they may not be easiest of days. History is being made like never before. I also believe that mindfulness is going to be imperative to our well being in the turbulent times ahead.
Since 2020 the world has been in a state of anxiety and chaos, I have met a lot of people who have been adversely affected emotionally, spiritually and physically.
It would appear we still have rocky times ahead which will add to the instability many have already experienced. But, if we can stay centred and mindful we can come out the other side of this experience stronger than ever and we might even enjoy the ride.
Living in a mindful way is not difficult, it just requires practice and for us to be kind and patient with ourselves. Every moment is an opportunity to enrich our lives through mindfulness.
My latest book which is a practical guide to everyday mindfulness has just been published on Amazon

Gratitude attracts more good stuff
Being aware of the things for which we are grateful not only helps us have a better frame of mind it also helps us to attract more 'good stuff'. I have posted tow very short videos on YouTube to help you start a life of gratitude

No Anger
NO ANGER
3/18/2022 0 Comments
It feels as if we are looking at a very polarised world right now. This is right, that is wrong. This person is honest that one is a liar. This county is good, that country is bad and on it goes.
If we get drawn into watching 'the news' either on mainstream media outlets or alternative platforms it is very easy to get caught up with anguish and anger. We can get so strung out emotionally about it all that we end up angry with life.
I have posted this short video to demonstrate a simple but very effective method to manage anger. It is not meant to replace anger management therapy just as a tool when anger arises. If we loose our temper we loose control first of ourselves and then the situation.

Amazon and flower meadow
It has been a bit of a mixed day today. Having been puzzled that non of the downloads of my ebook were people in the UK, I discovered that the free offer for my book on Amazon was not showing on the UK site. I contacted Amazon and had a reply almost instantly apologising and sayin that network latency was the problem, that they would rectify the situation and add an extra day to the promotion. Super service thank you Amazon!
Having sorted the Amazon problem I turned my attention to lunch and for some weird reason I thought I might make some German potatoe dumplings. Big mistake they broke up in the water but I am sure all that fine grating of the spuds did me good because it was a chance to concintrate on it being a mindfulness activity (saves one grating ones fingers).
Most of my afternoon was spent playing with iplayer and producing another visualisation to aid relaxation. I am still far from being skilful but I am improving. If you like you can watch/listen by following the link below.
