Happy Minds Podcast Series With Janet Groom

JOY - THE STEP BEYOND HAPPINESS WHAT IS THE JOY FACTOR? So many people strive for HAPPINESS in their lives, and that is a great thing.   Being Happy is, in my personal opinion, all about finding your BALANCE in LIFE.   It is really knowing who you are and what you need to do and have in your life to enjoy your life, with a sense of contentment.    Whereas, in my personal opinion, JOY is a deeper sense of being totally at ONE with your LIFE PATH - really being in HARMONY with the world around you and knowing at deep level you are following your LIFE MISSION.   HOW TO ACHIEVE JOY IN YOUR LIFE? Wow- this really is the Million Dollar Question.    For me it has been a series of steps:  Self-Love, Your Life Mission, and finally Trust and Faith.   1)  SELF-LOVE The first important step, I believe, is that you need to be able to LOVE YOURSELF.    Not the egotistical self-obsessed "love", but the real feeling that you know who you are and you are c

TUNE IN and Get to Know What Makes You Happy   Do you really know what makes you truly Happy? Ask many people that question and you would be surprised how many people really don't know.   In fact, if we consider how hectic and demanding so many people's lives are today in our modern world - it really is not very surprising.   People are becoming more and more overwhelmed by the pressures on their time and their responsibilities, both at work and at home.   We are living lives where we are constantly being bombarded with information - from social media, television and other media.   Our time is no longer our own, as we juggle work, family and social commitments.   It is totally crazy - and no wonder so many people end up suffering with "Burn Out". We keep pushing to fulfil the demands of our lives - until one day our body, and mind, gives up. Just take a look around you..   when people are sitting on buses and trains, or have a spare moment - out com

Let's Talk About Depression... I suffer with DEPRESSION...    There I am saying it out loud.  I am telling the world. It has taken me decades to put this out there.   It has been my constant companion for a lifetime and it is only now I have the courage to share this with the world. Why is DEPRESSION such a TABOO subject?   Why is there is so much STIGMA associated with it?   Why must we keep it hidden like some terrible secret? Well, I know that for me it felt like a mantel of SHAME I was wearing.   If I dared to admit it, even to myself, I was acknowledging that I was FLAWED and, in my mind, WEAK.  Instead, I tried hard to keep it under tight wraps and worked hard to show the world at large I was a strong and capable woman.    It was so much hard work wearing this mask and trying to control every aspect of my life.   I realise now that I was purely SURVIVING and not really THRIVING.   Of course, there were episodes of

The Power of Being Grateful Gratitude is a major key player to your path to Happiness. In the past, I will admit that I was not always grateful.   Living in the 'Negative Mind' meant that I often only complained about all the things that I felt were wrong in my life.   I had this huge belief that the Universe was often against me and continually "bad" things used to happen to me. Since my 'breakdown' almost 10 years ago, and as I started my journey to self-discovery, growth and development, things started to change for the good.   I was shocked to realise how negative I really was and how ungrateful I was, even for all the good things which certainly were happening on my life journey.   Wow - that was an eye-opener! Now I practice daily GRATITUDE.   I spend about 5-10 mins every day thinking and writing out about all the goods things during my day.   Writing a GRATITUDE JOURNAL has proven to be extremely useful.   Not only do you focus on the good aspects of your day, and t

Random Acts of Kindness KINDNESS is something we are all capable of. How many times has it made your heart sing when a stranger does something KIND for you? I know that in our busy modern society, acts of kindness are becoming noticeable less and less.   I was brought up to give up my seat on the bus or train for someone who needed it more than I did, and to this day I will still do this.   I was taught to hold open a door for someone to allow them to pass through easily, particularly if they are carrying heavy bags or juggling a pram and children.   I will pick up a piece of rubbish/trash and dispose of it in the nearest bin. I personally know that a smile or a thank you, at the right time, truly will make a difference to recipient's day.  How do I know?   Because it really makes me smile and lifts my mood whenever someone has unexpectedly done something kind for me. It is a shame that some people will think you are doing an act of kindness as a ploy to get something in return, when

The Power of Positive Words I love AFFIRMATIONS. Why? Because using Affirmations, Positive Statements, on a daily basis helps to install positive and uplifting beliefs into our UNCONSCIOUS MIND.   The are short positive and powerful statements. If you have paid attention in previous blogs and podcasts, you have heard that it is the role of the UNCONSCIOUS MIND to look after us and keep us on track to achieve our higher purpose.    It has our best interests at heart and endeavours to help us keep safe and achieve success and happiness.   And as you will have also learned that it listened to what we want....  albeit that it doesn't recognise negative statements.   What that means -  when you say "I don't want to be ill", this is translated by your UNCONSCIOUS MIND to mean "I want to be ill"...   So you really need to learn to be careful what you are saying, even to yourself - as WORDS HAVE POWER! That is why using AFFIRMATIONS is a great way to imprint NEW POSITIVE MESSA

Your Perception of the World So, how do you see the World.... How good are you at FILTERING? Do you really see the true world around you, or do you apply your FILTER MODE?   In reality, we all apply our own unique FILTER to make sense of the world around us.    Our brain is inundated with massive amounts of information, and although our brain can process it, it tends to filter out the bits it does not feel are relevant to us based on our BELIEFS and VALUES.    We create a world based on this filtered information - so the big question is -DO WE SEE THE TRUE WORLD? Our filtering system is designed to support us to cope with the world and not to become overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information to assimilate and make sense of.   However, depending on our BELIEFS SYSTEM - we can create a skewed view of the REAL WORLD. I still find it amazing that two, or more, people may have the exact same experience and they will have different stories to tell. If you tend to look at the wor
