Are You Aware of Your Self-Defeating Habits?
The practice of mindfulness opens up the mental space that allows us to see our self-defeating habits as such rather than having them control what we say and do – and how we say it and do it – again and again and again.

At the very least, it’s a useful life skill.

In a world that’s often filled with noise, you’ve been given quiet. This is a time to reaffirm the path that your life is on.
Being alone and happy doesn’t mean sequestering yourself from the world. It means being confident enough to know that you can surround yourself with people, but not depend on them for your own happiness.

Dream about it, write about it, visualise it – and most of all feel it; feel what it would be like to live your life this way.
It was about small steps: reading and researching to work out what I wanted to do, industry investigation, job searching, working out a budget, revamping my CV, applying for jobs (and getting plenty of rejections), going for interviews, thinking about where I wanted to live, taking trips up to check out areas…the list goes on.
