This week I have had the chance to read a couple of self help books. The first one being Stop Thinking and Start Living by Richard Carlson (Harper Collins 2003).
Some of the gems included: If something doesn't exist in your mind, it doesn't exist in your reality and you are not affected by it. The only way to bring that reality back to yourself is to think about it again.
You can learn a great deal from your past, but you need not suffer because of it.
You don't find the light by studying in the dark.
Pay more attention to living and less to how you are doing.
Enjoy life rather than think about it.
The other book was Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn (Piatkus 2008) which although did not contain the gems as listed above, it did give a few insights into 'living in the moment' i.e. knowing what you are doing as you are actually doing it. Both to be recommended.
