Epictetus was an ancient Greek Philosopher whose teachings are still relevant today. Arguably even MORE relevant in these difficult times we have found ourselves in. To let go of things that are beyond our control and focus what we do have in our control. This especially applies to the mind, one thing we ALWAYS have is our own mind this alone is in our own power.

Conduct ourselves through life fulfilling our duties to our children, parents and fellow citizens and everything else will come do not try to control external influences as they will come.

So your MANTRA today :

“HE IS A WISE MAN WHO DOES NOT GRIEVE FOR THE THINGS WHICH HE HAS NOT, BUT REJOICES FOR THOSE WHICH HE HAS ” – Epictetus

In these PC times and so as not to offend anyone please substitute ‘Man’ with ‘Person’ as this applies to us all. Remember this WAS ancient Greece !!

LAUGH OUT LOUD

Now a new era is dawning it is time to start laughing again.

So today your task is to make a list of the things, places and people that make you laugh then choose at least one to arrange a date with. I promise you even the act of making the list you will have a smile in your face.

When was the last time you really had a good belly laugh. When we are children we do this several times a day but we forget how to do it as we get older and responsibilities take over.

As I have designated this National Laughter Day, even if you don’t feel like laughing try faking it until you make it ! Sound HA HA HA HEE HEE HEE HO HO HO until you break into spontaneous laughter and releases endorphins into your brain and body. Your day will fill lighter. I challenge you to turn around any errors that occur today and see the funny side.

Keep on giggling !

MWAH MWAH

QUIT COMPLAINING !

Never has there been a time when we need to be more positive then after the last year, the light is at the end of the tunnel. Let us stop complaining and moaning and look towards that light and the dawning of the new era.

We probably all find something or someone to complain about every single day. Every time we complain it sows some negativity seeds within us. Even when it is deserved and we feel it is empowering us, it is exhausting to complain. So let us try to avoid it this week or even just for today. One day at a time ……maybe?

So, today when you feel tempted to complain about the weather, a friend, politics your aches and pains. STOP. Instead of giving in to moaning or getting irritated let it pass. See what it does for your mind and spirit to let it go without comment. Also the people around you benefit too ! This can be harder than you think and by recognising your negativity it can highlight just how often you voice it. Replace those words with positive ones or as they say a wise man says nothing at all.

JOJOs STYLELIST TIP: Positivity breeds popularity.
