Bad times UK? Lets make good times...

So there's no jobs, no money and we're all in debt
- what exactly are we meant to feel good about?

I believe that because many of us in the UK are dealing with so much stress despite doing our best, we really deserve a time out every now and then when we can sit back and enjoy the feeling of a quiet mind and relaxed body.

Stress isn't good for us.  It makes us ill.  If we make a little time for ourselves to relax and unwind then we will have the capacity to deal with more and face our day with a bit more joy and enthusiasm (yes, really!!)

The mind is busy, all the time, focussing on tasks at hand, worrying about the past, worrying about the future.  It needs a break every now and then for us to be able to function properly.  The problem is, a lot of us don't know how to switch off.  It's not like you can just say to yourself - stop worrying and chill out!  If it was that easy, we would never get stressed.  We are always doing the best we can given the information we have at the time.  So, why not give yourself a break and take some action by signing up to Picture Peace UK and becoming part of a new and exciting community project. 

There are many ways you can join in, and you can choose one or more methods to suit you.  You can click on Follow me on Facebook and then click 'Like', you can also click on Follow me on Twitter, Follow or subscribe to my posts by entering your email on the right hand side of the page.  If you follow me on Facebook and/or Twitter as well as my blog, you will get extra benefits like daily inspirational quotes.  It's all free and it's all for you so sign up now to make sure you don't miss out on being a part of my forthcoming online show. 

Every month, people from all over the UK will be able to join in a guided mediatation at the same time, synchronising their thoughts and intentions on inner and outer peace and learning how to create and maintain peace in their everyday lives.  I wonder if you will be able to feel the energy created from the group mind focussed on the same powerful intention.  As we learnt last week, science has shown that thoughts and feelings carry energy which has the power to affect individuals and their environment, and a group focussing on the same thing at the same time carries more energy and has the power to make a more significant change.

Another aspect of Picture Peace UK is about bringing you information, links, videos and more from people and oganisations that already do great work inspiring others and creating welbeing.  I have started a list below with links and will be talking in more details about them in my forthcoming blog posts.
