Do you find it hard to switch off and relax?
Do you find that your mind is full of all your "to do's"?
I don't know about you, but I live in a very busy environment. London is a fast-paced, career-driven city full of pressure and aspirations. I do a few things to stay calm and grounded.
Like Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, I write what she calls my Morning Pages everyday. They don't necessarily have to be written in the morning, but it is important that they are written. They constitute 3 pages of stream of consciousness writing. Just write out whatever is in your mind. I find that once a thought is out, I no longer need to hold on to it. This helps to quieten my mind.
I combine this technique with regular doses of meditation and yoga. I find both extremely calming. Like any habit, it may take some time to make them regular, but with a bit of effort, you will enjoy amazing results!
