In order to escape from anxiety you need to be ready and willing to change your mind. You may have felt ready and willing for some time, and yet nothing has happened.

Spirit and Science
When I launch into the subject of my spiritual beliefs and past experiences, and how these beliefs saved my sanity, it’s worth noting that for me this is Practical Spirituality for Everyday Living. Simple, straightforward, realistic, and useful in the real world. Science The science part was something that came as a surprise to me,Continue reading “Spirit and Science”

One part of you feeling lousy, the other part not wanting to feel lousy, one feeling weak andContinue reading “Escape Hatch”
Moving On
One of the worst things about stress, anxiety, and depression is that you can become stuck in the trap of a self-fulfilling prophecy. I am anxious, I am depressed, I am a nervous wreck, all become what you are. The I Am. Of course you need to take control of your mind somehow in orderContinue reading “Moving On”
Mental Health Week (UK)
As I’ve mentioned before, one of my concerns around the current mental health initiative is that the words are now synonymous with poor mental health. But what is a positive term?
