I often wonder about this Ruth, but I can't help reading, thinking and navel gazing! Perhaps it's ok to take a tiny bit of everything but keep that "You have all you need" in mind before being a slave to things? Hope so anyway :)
I’ve read a few self help books too but more recently I’ve started to practice and Qi Gong. I now realise that, for me, it’s all about living positively but without effort aka as Wu Wei. Our life essence lives in our bodies not our minds and that’s where my focus is now. If we don’t move it and groove it now- we’ll be in armchairs smelling of wee before we know it! X love your musings
That’s a fascinating perspective Jan. And it makes sense to me. I know I definitely feel better physical and mentally if I’ve been moving, in whatever form. Qi Gong now on my list! Thanks Jan x
Yet again, this really resonated with me. I promised myself that this year I would not take in any new personal development projects and instead focus on using what I already know.
However, the curiosity part of me can’t help myself 😂 so I am now reading Kokora by Beth Kempton which is beautiful and thought provoking about the way we live.
Your walk with friends sounds fabulous and they absolutely had a point about being grateful for that moment. Too many people rush along without the pause necessary for appreciation. Have a good week Ruth x
Thanks Amanda. I so know what you mean. Rarely do I read something ‘new’ however to read great writing is a treat. And a reminder! I don’t know Kokora but I do know of Beth Kempton. I’m resisting saying I’ll check it out…😘
The walk was indeed glorious. It was good to have my friends rein me in !

I think I am firmly in your camp Faith! And I think it's definitely OK...so far so good anyway :-)
