Hi every one, I hope that you are well. Do you ever have a moment of self realisation? Sometimes we have moments in our life during which we have an epiphany. In the last couple of days I realised I truly realised that when we wish for something we do not have in the present moment we are essentially stealing time from our authentic self and giving this to our egoic self. When we look towards the future rather sit in the present we lose the amazing opportunity to live. And when we wish for tomorrow or next week or next year we steal today and the following days from ourselves. It is so important to walk in each step to breathe in each breath and to notice each sunset. Do you sit in the present? Do you experience each amazing moment that life presents us with? Or do you look back in time or wish forward in time? It's challenging isn't? To truly sit in the present takes dedication and practice. But it's so worth it. Because it is only in the present that we can find happiness. Much love to all Lauren AKA the wh

Episode 62 My beliefs on happiness- taken from my book...to be released so very soon....I will let you know when the pre order date arrives :) Merry Xmas my friends   Quote from my book...   “Here is what I believe   I have touched on some of my ideas about happiness already and we will explore this topic in more depth in the next chapter. What is important for you to know now are some of my beliefs about happiness in general and about your happiness specifically. These beliefs have been distilled in my mind over time. They are the result of hard thinking and hard learning, and they inform my approach to happiness in this book. What I believe is this:   Happiness is a state of mind that you can only feel today, not yesterday nor tomorrow. If you look for happiness in the future, you risk being perpetually unsatisfied, like a donkey forever following an elusive carrot that suspended on a rod from his forehead. 2 Happiness is an individual, subjective experience, which means that only you will know what happi

  Episode 61 How to be happy - the set point theory- Genetics versus experience I explore 'set point theory' in todays podcast. Research shows that people shortly after winning tattslotto go back to the same level of happiness that they experienced before winning the money...why is that? Why doesn't the money make us feel happy? Some happiness philosophers in particular Martin Seligman believe that it is because of set point theory. A theory which proposes that we inherit a set level of happiness which does not have a lot of scope for movement. So how do we change our happiness levels? Not from possessions, money, or status but from experience..... My name is Lauren Ostrowski Fenton. I am a writer, life coach, meditation teacher, & proud mum of four.
