Apparently this week is World Wellbeing Week. I
wonder what comes to mind when you read that?
Dusting off the walking boots maybe, heading out for a bike ride perhaps, or
finally returning to that gym you signed up for way back in January? Or perhaps
some nice relaxation is more your thing?
All
of those are good and healthy pursuits - and, go for it if you feel so inclined
- but what about your inner world? What about the niggling emotions you keep
trying to ignore? The hurts that still fester and the old wounds that still
keep surfacing, still affect your behaviour?
We
all have a tendency to try to power on regardless when our inner world isn’t
feeling too good. It can seem selfish, and a bit scary too, to set aside time
to stop and really face those feelings. Who knows what can of worms we might
open up.
But
it’s not selfish. It really isn’t. In fact it might just be the very best thing
you can do for your wellbeing. A mind at peace can find a way through all sorts
of external pressures. As I quote in my book, a wise friend of mine says,
‘As
long as I’m alright on the inside,
everything’s alright on the outside,
even
when it isn’t.”
If
you want to begin to feel ‘alright on the inside’, this book’s for you -
