love your blog by the way

Remember too the wonderful observation by author Mark Twain: “I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened”.

Jeff Sokol February 17, 2008 at 12:26 pm: I recommend daily meditation in whichever capacity suits you the best. Simply sitting on a park bench relaxing watching people can be meditation, you don’t have to say “om” or anything.

Personally, I use “The Secret” and the law of attraction each morning. It gets me ready for the day, feels good, and has worked absolute wonders in my life. Have a good one guys.

Crystal Woods February 24, 2008 at 11:27 am: I agree with Jeff. I’ve been doing a 30 day Manifestation trial and learnt that the mind will spend as much time as possible in the future, CREATING anxieties. Way nicer to spend time just experiencing the moment and appreciating all the joys that are around us in the here and now… and way more effective from a LoA point of view too!
