When it comes to topics such as free time, those of us who don't work in the traditional sense, i.e. a nine to five job, whether by choice or because we have to due to a medical condition, may find that we are in an unusual position. Of course, if you have "put in your hours," you most definitely deserve some time to yourself; however, what if you haven't?

Well, in my opinion, everybody should take time out to pursue a hobby, interest and definitely something that's not work-related. Don't let society dictate your leisure time; it's more beneficial to your physical and mental well-being to make time for "leisure time."

Welcome back to my guided meditation and affirmation presentation. I assume you are sitting comfortably and ready to begin; this one is called:  I Spice up my life.

You'll start with a simple relaxation exercise, followed by an affirmation, relax deeper by connecting with the sounds of nature, then once again; I'll read you the same affirmation as you started with, followed by some Self-Reflections Questions.

Done right, and repeating the affirmation "I Spice up my Life" several times throughout your day will set you up for a most rewarding and positive experience.

After months of waiting, he finally realized he wanted to be a guard dog.

Hi and welcome back to my How to be Happy series. Today we are discussing "Common Meditation Obstacles, and How to Overcome Them." This article is another chapter taken from my book "Meditation Kickstart." and it is why I think you should give meditation a try, as I genuinely believe it will set you on the road to a happier and more contented lifestyle.

Hi and welcome to my How to be Happy series, and today we are discussing "So, What is Meditation?" as this is one of the five disciplines that you should master on the road to a happier lifestyle, I thought I would introduce it to you.

If there is one skill or practice I advocate, and that's learning how to meditate, the benefits are incredible. The simple fact of keeping you centred and able to deal with life's ups and downs makes it a must. 

But the fact that it also feeds and nourishes your mind, body, and soul is what you need to take on board because, as too often is the case, finding time for ourselves takes second place when it should be a priority. 

So this report is dedicated to helping you have an understanding of this most beneficial of habits.

This is the first chapter taken from my book "Meditation Kickstart." available along with many other meditation resources at: www.BingsBooks.com "give me a visit sometime."

Reclaim Your Life by Living Consciously with Purpose

Do you sometimes feel like you're treading water or just going through the motions? You wake up in the morning, get out of bed, make yourself some breakfast, get ready for work, go to work, come home, make a meal, watch TV, go to bed.

And we probably do all that with not much thought or purpose behind it, but if you want to change your life and become a happier person, which is what this podcast or blog is all about, then now it's time to rethink your strategy for the days and weeks ahead.

Hello and welcome to my guided meditation and affirmation presentation. This one is called: 

I Embrace my Responsibilities with Joy.

My name is Mark. I've designed this, so you get the best of both worlds, an affirmation and a meditation combined experience.

Here are 10 characteristics of happy people. Something for you to aim for and turn things around.

We tend to notice a happy person from a mile away because it’s so rare to find someone who exudes genuine and lasting happiness. It’s just something they give off that makes you think they never let the struggles of life get them.

Is there a secret to happiness? Not likely; however, people who are happier seem to understand that life is what you make it. So, I’m going to share with you what I think are 10 traits or characteristics of happy people, including myself.

Should we let the daily challenges that come our way interfere with the core values that then stop us from being happy with what we have? Absolutely not! It is up to all of us to carve out a life we can be proud to live.

No one enters a relationship expecting to become a negative statistic. Relationships can be hard work, but there are many things you can do to enhance the odds of success. The little things matter. Small gestures and habits lead to success.
