Have you turned away from anything that used the word 'visualisation' fearing that you would not be 'able' to do it? It is a common misconception that you need to see in vivid pictures. You really don't. This can apply to any meditation we are following or anything like that. I can't see in pictures. I am not sure where I go, in fact, when participating in these activities but I still experience it. And that is the key, just how you experience it.

With no expectations on yourself, have a go, I have just published this over at Substack, it is about taking a visit to a wise old man! Don't forget to subscribe over there (it is free) to get more like this.

We all compare ourselves to others. It is part of being human. We can learn from others, think about things in different ways and enjoy listening to others views and opinions. This is all healthy and helpful to us. That connection with others is something that lots of us value.

This podcast is about when we start comparing ourselves to others and it becomes something that harms us. Makes us feel bad, inadequate and not good enough. In other words, damages our self-esteem. There are a couple of ideas, as well, about how to get out of the ‘comparison trap’.

Enjoy my free podcast, over at Substack.
