Calm your mind
‘IT’S THE WORRY AND ANXIETY THAT LEADS TO YOUR BATTERY GOING FLAT’
Another day is drawing to a close and you’re pulling back the doona and ready to slip into a deep slumber. But the moment your head sinks into the pillow, suddenly you couldn’t be further from rest. Your mind goes into overdrive, replaying every daft thing you said, speculating about where your life is going, worrying about tomorrow’s meeting and if the children will turn out okay.
It’s a scenario Gwendoline Smith is all too familiar with.
“You’ve been up half the night ruminating and predicting upcoming disasters. You haul yourself out of bed, feeling and looking like a train wreck. You go to the bathroom, look into the mirror and say to yourself: ‘I think positive thoughts about myself and others. I like the person I see in the mirror.’ How’s that going?” she laughs.
An author, speaker and psychologist, this is the colourful, quick-witted woman behind the 2019 runaway bestseller, . This year Gwendoline is – a guide to understanding what’s really going on in your head with strategies to rewire your thinking and improve how you feel.
