Take Stock of Your Life

by Alison Nancye
The more I read, listen to and observe the world around me, the more I realise what an incredibly achievement focussed world we have become. Whilst we have the wonderful Eckhart Tolles of the world promoting the notion of 'being' - quite hard to 'do' but you get there eventually!!! - we are still very focussed on what we need to achieve to afford us the 'luxury' of being.

I'm not saying don't strive for your goals and dreams, I'm just saying take time out along the way to reflect, and recognise what you have already accomplished, experienced and learned about yourself, rather than look at what you haven't accomplished yet.

So with half the year complete I always find this is a wonderful time to take stock of my life so far. Honestly, whenever I do this life-recipe exercise I am blown away what I learn about myself.

Have a go and see how your recipe turns out. And please feel free to post a comment or share this recipe.

Campaign For Real Beauty

If you haven’t seen the ‘Evolution’ commercial now playing as part of Dove’s ‘Campaign for Real Beauty’, you’re missin’ out! Evolution takes an average woman (no make-up or hairstyling) from human to billboard model in just 60 seconds.

The ad uses professional make-up and styling, time lapse photography and photoshop (fotochop) to demonstrate the evolution of beauty we typically see splattered all over billboards and womens magazines.
