Is your mind troubling you? I'm happy to help.

Does this resonate? Would you agree that "inner narrative is everything?" I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

On a live call this morning, we were discussing as a group how rarely, if ever, we are at fully at ease with ourselves or with our circumstances. There's always a sense of something lacking, something missing – that things should be different from how they are. Can you relate? Someone in the group described sitting on a beach in beautiful sunshine eating his favourite flavour of ice cream yet still feeling some kind of low level agitation and restlessness.... the sense that, even when all his desires were met, he still didn't feel at ease. And then of course the mind then kicks in with "What's wrong with you? You're never satisfied. You should be more grateful etc etc." compounding the agitation you feel. What to do? Here are a few things that may help: 1. Recognise that the sense of something missing is an old programme that runs in your head. It's part of the human condition. Pretty much everyone experiences it. 2. Recognise there's nothing 'wrong' with it being there. You haven't messed up. There's nothing wrong with you. 3. Observe it with openness and curiosity rather than condemnation... with humour even. See it as a passing cloud that has no bearing on what's actually happening. reflect on how ridiculous we humans are. 4. If you feel agitated and discontent – if you feel judgement towards yourself – let that be OK And here's the real key: choose to make peace with your lack of peace. Suffering doesn't come from your thoughts or mind patterns. It comes from your resistance and belief that there's something wrong with them. Learn to accept whatever arises in the mind – this is the path to peace and inner freedom. Leave your comments below.

Beautiful day today here in Scotland. The sun is shining and nature is in full bloom.The inner weather is good too. Feeling content and grateful to be alive. You?

I’ll be honest — I’ve been wondering about the future of this free group. Not because I don’t care, but because I'm not sure if the group is actually helping anyone. So I'm curious: What would make the group valuable enough for you to keep coming back? More discussions? Q&As? Live calls? Short videos? Support around overthinking? Something else? Let me know. I’d genuinely love to hear from you.
