Its 7am, I’m up and the day begins.

Have breakfast, make the lunches, wake the kids, have a shower, dress, do teeth, do makeup, nag the kids, make the beds, pack the school bags, clean up, pack the dishwasher, nag the kids, pack up the stuff for the day and head out the door. Drive to kinder/crèche, forcibly remove my 4 year old from my leg sobbing, do the school drop off, organize where my eldest will be picked up from, navigate the back streets and try to god knows how get to work on time.

Now the second part of my day begins, answer the phones, do the filing, make brochures/templates, update the data base, attend to inquiries, do property searches, organize the day ahead for the sales guys, check emails, prepare newsletters, organize newsletter distribution, move my car (don’t want another parking ticket), answer the phones, put out fires (yes, sometimes it does feel like literally), grab a bite to eat and if I’m lucky a toilet stop. And god it’s only lunch time. Think about the rest of the day, organize dinner in my head, bed time, the house, the after school activities, the weekend, work, next week, next month, the holidays, the after care, holiday program, the dog, the pickups and alternative night swaps with the kids at my ex-husbands. Now, where was I ah yes at work, okay back to thinking about work again?

My head’s spinning. I try to stop it, I can’t. I want too. I don’t know how. The tension builds up and I can’t seem to settle it down. My head feels like its exploding. More work, more demands, more life commitments, more things to think about. If only I could just get through today, but no, then there is tonight to think about and tomorrow. So much to do, so much to achieve, I need more time, I need more space, I need another me.

Someone please take over some of this craziness called life. Someone please stop the incessant thinking in my head, someone please show me how to stop from thinking and getting anxious. Someone please help me to settle my thoughts and allow myself to instead go calmly about my business.

Someone please show me how to think less and to just be in the moment calm and happy. Someone show me a path, a life where I don’t feel so stressed and anxious with all that I need to get done. Someone please just show me how to give my mind a much needed rest!

I remember that time, it seems so long ago now, a time when I could just switch off and make everything alright. A time when I could turn off my mind and think about life elsewhere, a place, a special place where I use to go where everything was quiet and I was left completely on my own to just bask in the peace and the serenity of life. I think I need to visit that place again.

Meditation takes me there!

Meditation, affirmations, time out and working on my self esteem thats how I get to a better place.

In the pages of this website you also will discover how to calm your mind and a safe and inviting place where you can go to get away from the world and restore your inner peace.  Through the art of meditation and affirmations you will discover so much about yourself and how things in your life just suddenly start falling into place. Problems start to evaporate, solutions appear and that anxiety and agitation is kept at bay.  All the chores, activities and mindless jobs you need to get done suddenly seem so much simpler and life with your kids is so much calmer and in control.

It's not a fool proof system and it's not a quick fix, but if you use the meditation exercise and the affirmations regularly you will start to notice a real difference in your attitude towards yourself and also your life.

For me, it's stopped the agitation, eased the anxiety and just helped me to have a lot more confidence and also calmness inside of me. I am without a doubt a better person and a better Mum when I meditate and do the daily affirmations.  May it help you the way it has helped me!
