Thank heavens for that!! I've just discovered a great app for meditation and mindfulness recommended to me by a psychologist. It's called Smiling Mind. I'm finding it very helpful.

That book looks wonderful, I have read the reviews on it and have read many similar. If youre into meditation, you should try Deepak chopra's soul of healing meditaion cd's, they are really amazing!!

I'm currently lying in bed with a kidney infection thinking of all the things I 'should' be doing in preparation for Christmas when in fact there's no requirement on me doing any of those things. People that matter should know me well enough to know I love them regardless of the lack of ' perfect' presents, food etc. if they don't get that they're not worth my effort in the first place. I'll get off my soapbox now ;) I hope you manage to declutter your mind this holiday.

Some starting suggestions are:<br />Dashwood novelties vroom- a more sophisticated car print with a 60s feel<br />http://www.thevillagehaberdashery.co.uk/sewing-patchwork/fabric/dashwood-novelties-vroom<br />Asbury Dodgems in red (Thomas Knauer)<br />http://www.thevillagehaberdashery.co.uk/sewing-patchwork/fabric/asbury-dodgems-in-red<br />Asbury icecreams Soft Serve (Thomas Knauer)<br />http://www.thevillagehaberdashery.co.uk/sewing-patchwork/fabric/asbury-soft-serve-in-coral<br />Botanics Crosshatch in tangerine<br />http://www.thevillagehaberdashery.co.uk/sewing-patchwork/fabric/botanics-crosshatch-in-tangerine<br /><br />verykerryberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485169920671733941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-35341661441696500752013-12-18T09:05:01.683+00:002013-12-18T09:05:01.683+00:00The raisin exercise made me giggle :) You might en...The raisin exercise made me giggle :) You might enjoy reading or listening to some of Eckhart Tolle's work, I find that helps me loads to clear the mind.

Same author - different title (International changes?)<br />In my queue.<br /><br />I find it very difficult to be mindful of the moment. There are always too many things in my head. My blog is filled with some really random thoughts sometimes because the blog is one method to extract said thoughts so they don't get caught on the endless loop that exists in my mind.<br /><br />We have just a small family here - we like the slower pace as well. I will get two days off at christmas but I plan on a week off in January before I switch job locations.

But we do make the most of being our little family together, and love playing those board games too - though I haven't heard of Mexican Train - maybe will have to go on my Christmas list :-) Hope you can have a relaxing two weeks and really unwind.DeborahGunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415220048612276494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652190296430922611.post-3828041969505356272013-12-17T23:07:02.859+00:002013-12-17T23:07:02.859+00:00I prefer your reality to be honest!

The reality here is no Christmas decorations yet, no food prepared (apart from a cake in the freezer) and a thought that we might invite my mum and brother for Christmas dinner. I am with you on the no fuss, chilling plan. Have a great time whatever you do. xxmemmenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235923768416526388noreply@blogger.com
