Flipside – Flip Your Mood
A ‘bad’ mood? Now where did that come from? Maybe it is that we have too much to do; we have to do something we don’t like; something happens or other people are irritating, frustrating or annoying us? Who likes being in a ‘bad’ mood? Does it seem like there is nothing you can do […]

The Art of Thinking
Pause…. Ask yourself, ‘What sorts of thoughts am I having?’ ‘What are my thoughts like?’ A) See the contrast: negative-positive thoughts and how do I feel? Negative thoughts are like poison.
