Greetings!  

Everywhere we see the media-message "The Good Life is attainable by means of the GOODS Life". Basically, make money, buy things, be happy, loved and esteemed.

 

However research consistently shows that... the more people value materialistic aspirations and goals the lower their life-satisfaction and the fewer pleasant emotions they experience.

 

This fun 5:37 minute video lays it all out with some strategies on how to build a life worth living.

   

The High Price of Materialism
The High Price of Materialism


Yoga practices re-build self esteem by releasing the grip of thought that defines YOU as not-OK for whatever reason. When one then feels OK nothing is needed to complete the moment. The drive towards the GOODS Life dissipates and a smile comes to your face for no particular reason. 

 

If you are interested in putting a smile on your face - join me in class each week.

Many of you missed viewing the cat video in the top corner of last weeks email (Henri 2, Paw de Deux) so I have kept it once more. Check it out and smile.
"Sometimes the cat-door is closed." LOL
