despair at all the injustice. We can choose our attitude each day. How can you choose more love and joy in your life today?


LOVE THYSELF It has been repeated throughout the ages, ‘The only true love is self-love’. This of course is not in the egotistical sense, but in the sense that the love of others is really only a reflection of the love we have inside. While connection to others is indeed a powerful medicine, the ancients have declared that loving ourselves is the only love we have complete control over and is what ultimately underpins our emotional state of mind. Loving ourselves regardless of being the right dress size, having the perfect partner or being successful, is the emotional equivalent of eating good quality food. How can you be more self-loving today?


TRANSCEND According to ancient Vedic science, the most profound way to nourish our emotional health is to nourish the level of life that underlies our emotions. This is the non-physical level of life, the level of spirit or consciousness. Enlivening the inner field of consciousness in order to integrate brain activity and culture more balanced and stable emotional functioning is achieved through meditation practices. Cultivate a ‘no worries’ mentality When social researchers analyse the


lives of healthy, long-living people, one of the most consistent findings is that they rarely worry too much about things. Jeanne Calment, the French woman known throughout the world as the longest recorded living Westerner (she died at 122), said ‘If you can’t do anything about it, don’t worry about it’. So simple, so beautiful, yet so fundamentally wise and true. How can you cultivate more of a ‘no


worries’ mentality or an attitude of ‘take it as it comes’?


ASSOCIATE WITH POSITIVE, UPLIFTING PEOPLE Do you have certain people, even friends or family, who always want to bring you down or see the worst in any situation? Do others in your life tend to make you feel better about yourself and have a positive, uplifting view of life? Thoughts have energy and so those you associate with can affect your emotional energy environment. How can you associate more with people


who uplift your spirits and less with negative or critical individuals?


MAKE PEACE WITH THE AGEING PROCESS Trillions of dollars are made each year on cosmetics, cosmetic surgery and anti- ageing pills and potions – all based on the belief and expectation that growing older equals more pain and senility and less beauty and value. While not easy in our ‘youth-obsessed world’, where possible, cultivate the ancient, enlightened way of looking at life as nothing but a never- ending series of cycles, each with its own


beauties and lessons. Refuse to buy into the collective expectation that growing old need be associated with decay or pity. Take inspiration from the long-living people throughout history who have remained purposeful throughout their days and understood that real beauty is found not in how we look but in who we are.


MAKE TIME FOR YOUR PASSIONS At the deepest level, passion and positive emotion are one and the same. Following our passions not only feels good, it is good for us. Mother Nature wants us to be happy and experience joy, and the way she designed us to do this is through our passions. How can you spend more time engaging


in a personal passion or doing something you love?


How To Live Life On Your Own Terms And Assist Others


To Do The Same Australia’s leading life coach reveals how to transform passion into profit


Mother Nature has provided an opportunity for us to receive an abundance of heart medicines within the everyday moments of our lives …


❤ loving hugs, the words ‘I love you’, a simple compliment


❤ a child’s unbridled laughter, a friend’s warm embrace


❤ a mother’s consoling touch, engaging in a personal passion


All we need to do is stop long enough to enjoy them.


THE GOLDEN RULE – NOURISH YOURSELF FIRST While it is great to help others, natural wisdom and commonsense (which are basically the same thing) tell us that unless we are feeling good within ourselves, and our own promotional piggy bank is full, we will not feel naturally inclined to emotional uplift or help others. It is a basic law of life that unless we love and nourish ourselves first, we can’t truly love and nourish others. Nature’s wisdom is not to be martyrs. Nourish your emotional needs first and foremost. This is the ground upon which you can provide the greatest service to others and the world. What is one thing you can do this week to nourish your own emotional wellbeing?
