Why is change so difficult?
Our thinking patterns are effected by genetics, education, conditioning….
We may experience “automized” thinking and feeling reactions that seem out of our control.
We attract what we are used to. We expect situations, things, emotions to happen the way we have experienced before.
To “change your mind” means to continuously be aware of what and how you think and willingly jettison thinking patterns that no longer serve you. Especially the way you think and feel about yourself.
Train yourself to consciously decide to think what fits for you today!

Get your i-pod ready with inspirational audio programmes and uplifting music that makes your heart beat higher and put your sneakers right next to the door. Whenever you realize some negative thoughts or feelings related to lack of light, cold weather, lows take a quick decision: Just do it without thinking twice: out there and move your body!!! You may jog or walk, as long and intense as you feel like, just do it!
This is how I do it: winter in Mallorca is smooth and yet humid. Those days I felt uncomfortable – bones feel humidity, circulation slow, cold hands, thinking: gosh, winter is coming! So I take my i-pod, put my jogging shoes on and go out there – what counts is that I do it today, no matter how long, intense, walk or jog.
In case you don’t manage yet, no problem!! You have just realized that your mind is sabotaging you by finding excuses.
And that is a great step!!!

Spirituality and personal well-being
Many cultures practice prayer and spiritual rituals and believe it affects their health (for example Christianity).
Spirituality plays a central role in self-help movements such as Alcoholics Anonymous: “…if an alcoholic failed to perfect and enlarge his spiritual life through work and self-sacrifice for others, he could not survive the certain trials and low spots ahead….”
If spirituality is understood as the search for or the development of inner peace or the foundations of happiness, then spiritual practice of some kind is essential for personal well being. This activity may or may not include belief in supernatural beings. If one has such a belief and feels that relationship to such beings is the foundation of happiness then spiritual practice will be pursued on that basis: if one has no such belief spiritual practice is still essential for the management and understanding of thoughts and emotions which otherwise prevent happiness. Many techniques and practices developed and explored in religious contexts, such as meditation, are immensely valuable in themselves as skills for managing health and aspects of the inner life.

You know this feeling: you are absolutely mad about so many things, that don’t work right and you feel, like you are the only one to care. You cannot change the others, but you can change yourself:
Your awareness: become aware of what is actually happening inside of you, your thoughts, your emotions, become conscious of some odd limiting beliefs that are no longer adequate in your today’s life. Next time you feel low, take it as an invitation to look inside and change. And if you don’t see nothing clear, get assistance. We are here to support!

…. an easy thing to do, but hard to remember….
next time when getting into an unpleasant situation that causes stress do this:
Observe your breath, observe your shoulders, muscles all over the body, especially neck area also the mimic…. release all muscles and even if you hate it: put a slight smile on your face
Anything changes???
