BREATHE: ESCAPE JOURNAL

It is possible to reframe obstacles or limitations and turn them into strengths. Think of something you want to achieve. Now think of all the obstacles getting in your way and go through each one by one, for example lack of knowledge and what action you could take to turn this into a strength, a learning opportunity, and how could you document your progress? This guided notebook offers advice, techniques and exercises and is a science-backed guide to help readers bring balance to their lives. Journal sections include finding peace in a chaotic world, outdoor meditation practise, discovering a secret place, the art of noticing and trying not to skip ahead. Why do we have emotional triggers? How do we break free from the past? How do we learn to touch and be touched? Eat yourself into a higher zone at mealtimes with your favourites fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, chew slowly, and set the table with your favourite crockery so you can look forward to the experience. Have a boogie and move your body, and feel vibrations, rhythmic movements for a powerful mood-enhancing effect on emotions. There are quotes from books, a beautiful satin pagemarker, big illustrations in colour and nicely designed diagrams like a flow chart of Trigger, Thought, Feelings, Behaviour, Physical Reaction. Making small aesthetic changes to a living space in line with the seasons can breathe fresh life into any home. Learn about healing hands and hand gestures alongside meditation and ritual, escaping alone whether to the garden at night or a museum, and even in the middle of a busy day you can find a quick getaway within these pages. Filled with simple exercises, prompts and inspiring affirmations and beautiful illustrations. 128pp.
