Join us for another instalment of our wisdom series, where we delve into "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy. Murphy suggests that the human mind has enormous power and that we can use this power to achieve our goals and improve our lives. According to Murphy, the subconscious mind is like a computer that stores and processes our experiences, thoughts, and beliefs. He argues that by accessing and controlling the power of the subconscious mind, we can overcome negative thoughts and beliefs, achieve success, and improve our physical and mental health.The book provides techniques and exercises for accessing and influencing the subconscious mind, including visualization, affirmations, and autosuggestion. Murphy believes that by consistently using these techniques, we can tap into the vast potential of the subconscious mind to bring about positive change in our lives.Overall, "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" is a self-help book that promotes the idea that we can shape our reality and create the lives we want through the power of our thoughts and beliefs.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: Flow: If you’ve felt hours fly by like moments or marvelled at a sunrise you’ve experienced flow. In fact, it’s a state we experience surprisingly often, at work, at home and at play. Mihaly’s Flow  explores how we can experience enjoyment in our lives by controlling our attention and strengthening our resolve. This is achieved by being immersed in an activity or subject that makes us neither anxious, nor bored. In this “flow state” we lose our self-consciousness, selfishness and sense of time. Using goal-setting and immediate feedback, we can achieve a state of flow that improves our relationship with work, increases our self-worth and gives our lives meaning.“The best moments in our lives occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult or worthwhile.” Mihaly Thanks to our monthly supporters Malcolm Magee Jason Kumagai Natalie Triman Kaur Ryan N.
