It’s a wonderful thing to be involved with like-minded friends especially a great team. We found ourselves part of ARFIT this month - a company that focuses so much on mindfulness loving the empowerment of People.

Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.

Do you, like many people, have a mental list of things you think you need in order to be truly happy? There are many externals our society teaches us to chase: success, wealth, fame, power, good looks, romantic love. But are they really the keys to happiness?

Love is the highest of all human motivations. The lower motivations - avoiding punishment/pain, seeking reward/pleasure, and duty - aren’t even comparable to the power of love.

Mindfulness is a buzz word heard in companies from Google to white-shoe law firms. It’s an alluring concept as it promises to bring us back to a relaxed state, wherever we find ourselves.

Reinvention is an art. It is a process. It is not a "quick fix" or an "overnight solution." It is a deliberate practice, day in and day out, until you realize who it is you want to be, you already were all along.

By practicing self-awareness, we give ourselves the opportunity to prioritize our health by giving ourselves what we need. The simple practice of paying attention to ourselves at the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels can - at the risk of sounding dramatic - mean the difference between life and death.

Develop inner consciousness and the ability to successfully resolve conflicts – to truly rise above it all. At this point, you will attain spiritual awakening and unconditional love for all life in all its forms.

Humans are not meant to stop growing. In fact, no living thing on earth is meant to stop growing. We are all alive, reaching for the sun.

Progress in life is all about reinvention. I am going to preface all of this by saying that reinvention is not the same thing as endlessly seeking reward or achievement. There is a difference.

Go through your wardrobe, note what you might need. Is it a replacement? Can it be fixed? Really think about the WHY you want or need to buy something. Also, do you have enough space? And no, buying new shelves is not an option. This is also the time to have a look at what you have, discover forgotten pieces and fall back in love with what you already own.
