Having trouble sleeping ?

Can’t concentrate for long ?

Becoming forgetful ?

Generally anxious and depressed ?

All of these are symptoms of a mind which is not quiet.

We live in a 21st century world which could truly be called the information age.  We are bombarded from morning until night (and all through the night) with information. We get it from newspapers, magazines, television, books, films, the radio, the internet, shops, libraries, education.  Additionally, our lives have become vastly more complex and complicated than they would have been say a hundred years ago. There are more forms to fill in, more techniques to master, more knowledge to acquire, more changes. Relationships can no longer be taken for granted.

We cannot escape. No wonder our minds become clogged as we struggle to assimilate this unprecedented flood of information.  They are constantly in react mode. The mind which is constantly busy is responsible or partly responsible for the above symptoms. They are signs of an internal disorder, brought about by our way of living.

If we could only quieten our minds, we would lead happier, more contented lives. Our lives would take on new meaning. Our health, our relationships, our happiness would all change for the better. The question is, how on earth can we still our inner turmoil ?  I believe there is a workable solution to this, but it will require effort and persistency.

We shall need to take action in the following areas of our lives:

This is not as difficult as it sounds. I shall shortly be publishing a book on this very topic – watch this space  !

Bailey’s Buddy: Molly on Monday 

http://baileysbuddy.blogspot.com/

He was grey and had long hair. He was rather rambunctious. Things made me a little nervous. I didn’t like it when he got playful and started barking. I don’t mind when he wants to play but I don’t like the barking. I am a quiet lady after all.
