HI all!

I hope you're all doing well. Here's wishing you a happy Summer!

Sometimes even when we finally get good weather it can bring up mixed emotions and we can feel under pressure that we should be happier, or more active or, or, or .....

It's always a good idea to go back to basics and make a list, along the theme of ...

what do I enjoy?
How do I like to spend my time ?
Who do i enjoy spending my time with?
Who do I rarely see that I can take time to see over the summer?
What do I enjoy to do when it's not cold and rainy !?
What would I like for today?
What random act of kindness can i do?
Would I like to take time to acknowledge the gift/fun/support someone else brings to my life?

Or, imagine it's September, the summer is past ... how would you wish you had spent your time?

Another back to basics idea is always to get out the gratitude and self credit or self acknowledgement notebook. Or, the good things that happened today ...

Or, just take a break from it all and listen to some music

Most of us live the majority of our lives in a state of primarily beta brain waves – aroused, alert, concentrated, but also somewhat stressed.

Music can help lower the brain wave frequency to alpha, the ideal condition to learn new information, perform more elaborate tasks, learn languages, analyse complex situations and be in flow.

Part of this is because the slightly decreased electrical activity in the brain can lead to significant increases in feel-good brain chemicals like endorphins, norepinephrine and dopamine!

Here is some music I'd recommend

And apparently this is the most relaxing music . Weightless Personally i prefer the top link there ....though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfcAVejslrU

Have fun building your own brainwaves music list!

See you soon!

Warm wishes,
