The Power of Compassion in Upgrading Ourselves

Alister from Dream Big New Zealand

🧠 This is fantastic advice. Dr Joe Dispenza is an expert in this field. “Thoughts are the language of the brain. Feelings are the language of the body”.

🧠 This is fantastic advice. Dr Joe Dispenza is an expert in this field. “Thoughts are the language of the brain. Feelings are the language of the body”.

⚛️ We can reprogram our brains to be a map of the future instead of a record of the past. Actively think about, imagine & feel the future you would love for yourself. Start being that future self now.

💝 A few years back I started giving myself compassion instead of criticism whenever I fell short of what I was aiming for. It sped up my growth enormously - it almost felt miraculous - the old emotions seemed to just float away.

💌 So when I came across the below quote I just HAD to share with you all as I can personally attest to how well this technique works.

🌀 Dr Joe Dispenza: “Once the amplitude of energy of a decision becomes greater than the hardwired programs in your brain & the emotional addiction in your body then you are greater than your past. Your body will respond to a new mind & you will change”.

🆕 “If you want a new outcome you will have to break the habit of being yourself”.

🆒 “Each time you make a new choice that is in alignment with your future you are priming your brain to install the neurological hardware to actually think, act & feel like the person you want to be in your future”.

💭 “Greatness is holding fast to a Dream independent of the environment”.

💡 Hope. You CAN out-create your circumstances.

🚙 We offer a very special opportunity centred around these philosophies.. Personal Development courses to assist life-changing shifts & a vehicle that measures your results in the form of a work from home online business

🌟 Did somebody say I can earn by working on myself / my mindset !? 😁😇🥳.

How has being close to someone who has trained and practises psychotherapy affected you?

Very little research has been conducted into the experiences of people close to psychotherapists and I believe this is an important area of inquiry.

• Have lived with the person practising psychotherapy for a period of more than five years during and/or after their training.
• Are over the age of 18 years

Bold claims: Is Dunedin really New Zealand's 'first city'?

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

Dunedin can lay claim to many of New Zealand’s firsts – it had the country’s first university, first medical and dental schools, first daily newspaper, and first public art gallery.

You might also hear it referred to as New Zealand’s “first city”. But is that really the case?

Dunedin can lay claim to many of New Zealand’s firsts – it had the country’s first university, first medical and dental schools, first daily newspaper, and first public art gallery.

You might also hear it referred to as New Zealand’s “first city”. But is that really the case?

“It’s kind of true, and kind of not true,” says Wellington-based historian Ben Schrader, who specialises in urban history.

“It’s correct in the sense it was the first to have its own city council – that happened in 1865. But in terms of being designated a city, Christchurch took that title in 1856.”

Is that a teahouse on Stewart Island?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Why yes it is, and it's also a man cave, a shed, and a builder/engineer's retirement project. Little wonder Allan Jones' quirky build is a runner-up in the 2021 Resene Shed of the Year competition run by NZ Gardener.
