Slow Down To Experience More in 7 Ways
Do we ever consider slowing down for a fuller experience of life? Do we ever stop to take in the beauty of the moment before us? Do we make it a priority to connect – and truly connect – with someone else? Today’s post is about slowing down to experience more.

How to Handle A Visit From Fear
Fear had been a long time companion of mine. We have had many conversations in the past over coffee chats and meditation sittings. At first, I listened to Fear intently. I observed how Fear was doing a great job in her warnings to me.
My mind went into calculating, analyzing and thinking with all the points raised by Fear. The more issues she brought up, the more she gesticulated; and the more, she spoke with emotion. Soon, Fear found herself in overdrive.
I noted Fear’s good intent. “Fear is telling me to play small so that I will feel safe”, I said to myself. Clearly, she did not want me to fail. I nodded, in acknowledgment of her pledge of support. Her stern advice went in a menacing voice “Surely, you do not want to be embarrassed? Any signs of failure are not going to look good!”
10 Sure-Fire Tips To Making Creative Visualization Fun!
There are several things that you can do to make your creative visualization sessions fun. You already know how important it is to use the power of pictures to assist in manifestations.

I have put together 10 sure-fire tips to help you have lots of fun in your creative visualisation sessions:
Creative Visualization Tip #1: Spark Off From A Single Idea.

Allow your imagination some freedom as you follow your heart. Do not over-think or analyse. Nor feel like you have to restrict yourself when visualising the things you want.
How To Make Peace With Noise
One of the common complaints we surface about our poor ability to meditate is that we get distracted by our surrounding noise. Meditation is supposed to be done in silence, is it not? Since most of us live in close proximity with our neighbors or even our loved ones, whatever noises that others make can well distract us; even whilst we are trying our level best to be in touch with our breath.
Now, here is a story for you to ponder over on how you can make peace with each noisy moment….

What Does Your Inner Money Script Say?
How does your inner money script look like? Does it say: I am a Money Magnet and I attract wealth easily? If it isn’t, let us discuss more about the self talk you have about money today.

A confession. For several years, I have had a poor money script. My script has since gone through many changes. In fact, the more I take on the director role of my life, the more I realize the importance of having excellent positive self talk.

Draw A Creative Mind Map for Self Analysis
Many personal development experts share about the benefits of using mind maps. My post today takes it one step further with how I have used the concept of mind mapping for self analysis. I also share illustrations from my personal art journal that I created some time ago. I drew them as part of my pre-vision board exercises.
The (above) mind map picture that I did for self-analysis was my first. It may look simplistic but it has helped launched a myriad of creative ideas. Regarding self-analysis, awareness of who I am is important to help bring me into alignment with the vision of my future self.

I compiled a list of affirmations for children recently from a wish to help mine with self-mastery and positive programming .

Chinese Tale of the Hidden Treasure Chest
The enveloping air held a hint of ancient chinese mystique. A woman was sitting alone in a rickety wooden boat on a lake. While she would not be considered as beautiful by standards in those times, her features were pleasant enough. Fairly young, she was wearing simple grey robes. Her dressing indicated that she was a novice nun.

All was quiet. She had stopped rowing.
