We often put happiness on hold, telling ourselves, I’ll be happy when… when we have more money, a better job, or the perfect relationship. But the truth is, happiness isn’t something we find in the future; it’s something we can choose in this very moment.

Too often, we press the ‘pause’ button on happiness, believing we need certain conditions to be met before we allow ourselves to feel joy. But life doesn’t pause along with our happiness—time keeps moving, moments pass, and we risk missing out on the beauty of now.

Happiness is not about having more—it’s about shifting our perspective. It’s about recognising that happiness isn’t something we achieve; it’s something we allow. Choosing happiness is an intentional act, one that requires us to stop waiting and start embracing the present.

So, why wait? Happiness is here. Happiness is now. And happiness is yours to choose.

In our fast-paced world, we often overlook the profound depths hidden within the words we use. One such word that holds significant meaning is "Becoming." By breaking it down, we find "Be"—emphasising the importance of living in the present moment—and "Coming"—highlighting the journey of growth and transformation.

In this blog post, we explore how understanding and embracing the deeper meaning of "Becoming" can lead to a more fulfilling and joyful life. We discuss the power of setting intentions rather than rigid goals, practicing mindfulness, and celebrating progress. By focusing on intentions, we align our actions with our true selves and find happiness in both the present moment and the journey ahead. Discover how to "Be the coming happiness now" and unlock a more profound sense of fulfilment on your path of becoming.

Do you ever wake up and feel heavy? I don’t mean weight wise. It has nothing to do with your actual weight, but it can feel like you have a weight on your shoulders or a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, that is weighing you down. It is not the nicest feeling, but that does not make it a bad feeling. Feelings are neither good or bad. They just are. I like to think of feelings as my body’s communication mechanism. It is as if our body has its own secret language which sometimes we do not fully understand. We know something is happening, but we are not sure what or why.

This morning I woke up with such a feeling. My shoulders felt like someone had placed one of those X-ray aprons on me. I could feel the weight on my shoulders. My stomach and pelvic area felt full and weighted. I had a vivid dream last night and that was also fresh in my mind. Sigh. I am processing so many things at the moment. The river of life is flowing fast and thankfully, I have learnt to be more fully present in each moment. Being fully present … even as I write this I am aware of my choice of words.

The Power of Intention

Sometimes we drift through life, without giving much thought to what we are doing or where we are going.  We get stuck in a rut, on autopilot.  Every now and then we express a desire for things to be different, but in the rush to get out the door we do not pause to really give it much thought.  It is either too hard to do or quite simply you do not have time right now.  If you just get through this, then you will have time; then things will be different.

We all know how that ends.  Nothing changes if nothing changes.  But is that really true? Do things stay the same or do we just simply create again the same set of circumstances.  The thought that you create the circumstances in your life may be new to you, but even if you are familiar with concept it is worth revisiting, because speaking from experience, it is easy to fall into bad habits.
