As the members of my newsletter will already know, recently I made available the first in a series of free meditations. My aim in creating this series is to give you a selection of resources that you can use in your own time, whenever you choose. The first of these is called 5 Minute Mindfulness Meditation and you can get it for free when you join the Mindful Meanings newsletter.

5 Things We All Need To Be Happy

My work as a psychotherapist varies all the time, and it differs with every person who sits in front of me. No two people are the same, and even when two people experience an almost identical set of experiences and difficulties, their journey through that is completely unique.
 
For therapy to be effective then, it has to be fluid and tailored to the individual person. Having said that however, there is something that I keep coming back to time and time again.
 
Everything we do in life is a behaviour, and all of our behaviours are motivated by one of two things. To feel good, or to avoid pain. Whether we realise it or not, in order to feel good we strive to satisfy the basic psychological needs that all of us have. It's not possible to be happy unless we are satisfactorily meeting these needs.

A Bittersweet Parting

I've made the decision to change the comment software of my blog to Disqus. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while now but I've put it off until now. I love how Disqus handles blog comments, but I knew that changing the comments on my blog would mean losing all of the comments and discussions that I've had here to date.

So it is with bittersweet parting that I say goodbye to this blog's old comment format, and welcome in the new. I appreciate each and every one of you that has left me a comment in the past, and I hope that you will  continue to do so with the new format.

I'm sorry to say goodbye to all of the comments this blog has had up until now, but I'm excited to see a smoother, more visually appealing format take over. Goodbye to the old, and roll on the new.

See you in the comments ;)

Namasté,

David

I had the following post originally published as a featured article on The Good Men Project, on 3-12-15
 

What is a good man anyway?
 
I told my young sons the other day that I was going to write an article for the Good Men Project. My eldest, who is eight years old asked me "what is a good man anyway Dad?” Suspecting that this could be one of those moments where what you say to your kids can have a lasting effect, I thought about the question for a moment before I sat down with the three of them and gave them this answer.
