The Calamity
If you could come up with a solid mindset test for me the following scenario would be it.
Winter times are somewhat nippy when you live at the foot of Yr Wyddfa aka Snowdon. So there I was, adjusting my heated blanket just moments before joining an online networking meeting, when I brilliantly managed to catch the lead of my stand-up lamp and launch it not only into my head but also directly onto the screen of my perfect TV. My perfect TV screen that now has not one but two inch-long scratches on it.
Now if you know anything about me, you will know that I am not a materialistic kind of girl. However, one of the things that I unapologetically am is a huge film and TV fan. So my television is a pretty decent one and large in size as that quality of watching is all part of the experience for me and for the screen not to have any distracting marks on it is another big part of the deal. So clearly, while there are far bigger problems in the world, this was never going to be my favourite thing that happened that day.
The Silver Lining Within
Seconds after I noted the lamp hitting the screen, I found my mortified self on my knees inspecting the damage. What came next was a shift that was not familiar to one who perhaps only a year ago, would have proceeded to have a somewhat distressed and angry response to this calamity.?
And herein lay the silver lining.................

?? BOOK REVIEW
As you can see from the photo below, I recently found the most perfect spot to read Dr Rebecca Williams ’s book ‘Dealing with Stress: The 'Mind, Body, Spirit' Way’.
领英推荐
I’ve had the very good fortune to have got to know Rebecca through the Federation of Small Businesses #FSB networking meetings this past year or so and full disclaimer, I now feel honoured to call her a friend. She really is a beautiful soul as anyone else who’s had the pleasure of crossing her path will undoubtably agree.
BUT this review is still as legit as they come ?
The health of my mind, body and spirit is very important for me (as I’m sure it is for you too) so I'm always looking for new insights and helpful ways to keep my entire being in tip top happy health and Dr Williams’s book is full of those powerful insights.?
The way she explains everything is so clear and easy to understand for those who are new to learning about mental health and the mind/body connection and for those of us who might be a bit further down that path, it's all a brilliant reminder of just how many wonderful ways we can really take good care of ourselves and just how important it is for us to do that.
She’s also created space within the pages so the reader can write notes and also answer questions she asks so that we can gauge how healthy and strong our mind, body and spirit health is. This is a wonderful way to reflect and I personally found this really useful.
I also find myself so tight on time these days to read all of the books I want to read so the fact that it only takes approx. and hour to read is really helpful
This is one book that I'll be recommending left, right and centre for sure!

1 年Powerful five words Alison Petty - Mindset Coach. I will often use the mantra "nothing matters" which is not dissimilar. Your poor TV though. Was the lamp ok?
