Last weekend I watched a movie that I highly recommend you see:
The Intouchables (2011)
It is funny, emotional, serious, moving and totally enjoyable!
What more can I say apart from: ‘Please watch it!’
Here is the trailer:
Let me get it clear from the very start. Wearing sunglasses and sunblock does not bring on depression!

Today is World Sauntering Day!
Saunter…
I don’t use this word at all, do you?
I prefer to use the word ‘stroll’ instead.
A good stroll for me means no hurry, peace of mind, walking meditation, total relaxation and focus on the beauty around me, while I am gently rocking my body by putting one foot in front of the other.
So simple! So easy! So connecting! So nourishing! So healing!
‘It is a great art to saunter.’ ~ Henry David Thoreau
Autumn is here. The leaves begin to change colour and fall. Nature is performing its ‘Let it go!’ dance once again!
A few more weeks and all the deciduous trees will look pretty much the same, revealing their solid and beautiful structure that we can all admire on a cold and misty day.
It’s seems like the trees need to let go of all the weight they can before the heavy snow and winds hit their magnificent crowns.
The trees have the inner wisdom of adapting themselves to a new season. They don’t resist it!
They have the immense trust to let go easily and effortlessly and just rest, rest, rest, consolidating their strength, until a new powerful transition and transformation takes place in the spring.
Why not be in alignment with Mother Nature and release some thoughts that bring you suffering and prevent you from recovery?
Take a mindful walk in nature this week. Observe the changes. Get inspired by the powerful and effortless transformations and renewals that are taking place around you. Continue Reading »
Before we get into ‘How to lift depression in 80 days of less’, I want to introduce you to my expert: Phileas Fogg*.
On October 2, 1872 (exactly 140 years ago), Phileas Fogg placed a wager:
“I will bet twenty thousand pounds against anyone who wishes, that I will make the tour of the world in eighty days or less… As today is Wednesday, the second of October, I shall be due in London, in this very room of the Reform Club, on Saturday, the twenty-first of December, at a quarter before nine PM; or else the twenty thousand pounds . . . will belong to you.”
Equipped with astonishing determination, commitment and a “no-matter-what” approach, he won that bet, despite all the challenges that stood in his way!
