But, it doesn't need to be like that. With the help of The Practice, Barb Schmidt's three-point plan to personal happiness, you can train your brain to dismiss ill-founded worries and cultivate a happy, purposeful life. All it takes is just a few minutes of your day!  Specifically designed for those who live busy lives, The Practice guides you through a set of practical tools that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine. The three-steps are: - 1. Waking Up: Meditation - to set a peaceful tone for the day - 2. Living Present: Sacred Mantra, Focussed Attention, Reading for Inspiration - designed to focus your mind on - the moment and provide comfort and support 3. Letting Go: Reflection - a wind-down period to put the events of the day to rest.  We lead busy lives. Lost in a   daily routine of to-do lists and responsibilities is our happiness and peace   of mind. We know that we should live in the present but our minds often take   us on a treadmill of regrets about the past and worries about the future.   Stressed and drained of energy, we focus on outward things that are supposed   to make us happy - but they rarely do. In The Practice you will learn that a   wellspring of inner peace and happiness exists inside each one of us, and   this wellspring is easily accessible with simple techniques that only require   a few minutes a day. Use timeless wisdom from a range of religions and   teachings, Barb Schmidt has constructed an easy-to-implement, three-part   daily routine - Waking Up, Living Present, Letting Go - that will guide you   to deep happiness, help you to find security and confidence, manage the   inevitable daily stresses and live a calmer, more present existence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49603944841489,"sku":"GOR006530887","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49644237226257,"sku":"GOR006643474","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50291356369169,"sku":"GOR011259117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0285642960.jpg?v=1772272223"},{"product_id":"practice-book-barb-schmidt-9780757317989","title":"The Practice","description":"The mind has a way of interfering with personal happiness, often causing stress and doubt.
