Episode 138 Being well with Lauren How to find balance in the mayhem Day three of five Control yourself to achieve life balance. The key to balance is to have some control over ourselves. Don't give our power away to forces we cannot control. Maintaining a healthy balance is not only essential for happiness and well-being; it can support productivity, goal achievement and underpin quality relationships We cannot control anybody else and if we wish to change others we give our power and our balance away. What can we control? Our values Our thoughts Our behaviour What issues you can let go: What are some strategies to take back control over your life? Brainstorm: Disconnect for set periods from screens and the internet Ask why and say no Protect & nurture your physical health( For yourself not for others) Develop perspective Over your individual self without too much focus upon ego. Consider alone time relationship time global time

Episode 137 Being well with Lauren How to find balance in the mayhem course Day two Today we explore the relationship between choice and stress. The more we want, wish, and desire the less we feel balance. Now where is my cup of tea.... Resources: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/oct/21/choice-stressing-us-out-dating-partners-monopolies Barry Schwartz in his book The Paradox of Choice. Increased choice can bring us sadness because choice often brings regret, remorse, resentment, self-blame and the possibility of missing possible opportunities. Increased choice also increases desire, wanting searching and longing. What is choice? How does having choice affect your life? What does choice mean to you? What areas of your life feel cluttered due to choice? Do you think that having choices add to meaning in your life? What are some areas of your selections you can simplify? Do you find yourself using words such as wish, should, and want? Do these terms help you think happy thoughts? How does a state of wishing bring you balance or more importantly happiness? What does desire mean to you? Listen to...

Today I ask and explore the following questions: Do you feel comfortable in your body? Why and why not? Do you keep a journal which helps you explore the real you- physically emotionally and spiritually? What is your "by the way exercise"? Is your exercise regime sustainable for 99 years? How can you incorporate more 'by the way exercise' into your life? How important is weight training? What can you do today, this hour, this minute for your body? What consistent rituals do you follow to help you change your body and sustain that body? And yes when we learn the ability to change our mind we can change our body I have a beautiful cup of English breakfast in hand so go and get yourself a hot cuppa and let us have a chat.

Do you put yourself first so that others may benefit? Today we have a chat about how I have been meeting with my friend Erin who used to be a professional organiser. and what we have been chatting about I find Erin so fascinating...In a process of brainstorming my life, Erin pointed out to me that placing myself first means that I am in a better position to help those around me. Don't you find that is is so easy to advise others about how important it is to look after yourself but when it comes down to our own lives we often place others first often to our own detriment. I love meeting with Erin and will be interviewing her during the next show so stay tuned for that. Go and get a cup of tea and let's have a chat. Love Lauren Listen to...

Episode 114 Being well with Lauren The art & practice of noticing happiness Do you feel happy every day? Do you notice truly notice where your thoughts are pointing and how your thoughts effect your happiness? In other words, what you think about reflects how you feel. Today we talk about The ability to quieten your thoughts and to practice the art of noticing what is going on around you and how this directly affects your ability to feel happy. Go and make yourself a nice cup of tea and let's have a lovely chat. You can also Watch and listen on You Tube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMsKm00Xu6A&feature=youtu.be Today I read from my book 'Daily Rituals For Happiness' available on Amazon The art of noticing 'Another important concept, which follows on from ways of seeing, is 'the art of noticing'. This is about paying attention, observing and witnessing every detail of your life in order that is more fully experienced. I have personally found that the more I practice the art of noticing, the more positive and optimistic my way of seeing has become. Why don't you take a moment right now to notice what is going on around you? What sights, sounds and aromas can you detect? How does it feel to breathe the air? Pay attention to your breath and notice the exhilarating gift of inhaling and exhaling. Walk around the area you are in, whether it is your bedroom, the kitchen, your office or the garden. Touch things, feel their texture, and listen to what you can hear. Notice one sense at a time for several moments and then go on to another sense and notice this for several moments too. Listen to sounds, one at a time. Separate out the various aromas and observe them one by one, naming each of them in your mind. Notice how you feel about each sense and try not to let your mind wander or jump forward into the future. As soon as you let your mind leap into the future, you lose this precious moment. You are in charge here. You get to choose where you allow your mind to go. You have the power to keep your mind in the present, in the here and now. The ability to quieten your thoughts and to practice the art of noticing what is going on around you lies within your mind, and the ability to change and modify your behaviour goes hand in hand with it. Throughout this book, we will complete a number exercises to help you practice the art noticing. For now, I just want you to register that 'noticing' is a skill. It is one we can consciously develop and it can help us feel happier.'(Daily Rituals For Happiness' Lauren Ostrowski Fenton) Topics covered happiness practicing happiness Listen to...

Episode 113 Being well with Lauren Life source breathing a simple exercise in happiness Hello, Lauren here. I am a mum of four incredibly awesome, amazing children including twins. I am a passionate blogger, podcaster, writer, personal trainer, and You Tuber. My podcast is about spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. Welcome to my podcast Today I read from my book 'Daily Rituals For Happiness' a simple exercise I call 'life source breathing.... "This idea of space is a really important to me because for much of my life, I simply did not allow myself any room for happiness. I was too busy rushing around, keeping fit for my next triathlon, trying to find or keep a relationship, seeking approval from others, gaining another qualification, holding onto the past, and worrying obsessively about the future. Does this sound like you? So many of us have lives like this. We are busy, distracted and bouncing around without any true focus or clarity. We keep looking towards a brighter future that never seems to arrive, rather than experiencing happiness in the now. We allow ourselves to be drawn into other people's stories. We ruminate, we obsess and we overthink our lives. On top of that, will fill our physical environment with all kinds of possessions. We fill our bodies with junk. We try to cram so much into every single day that our lives end up being overcrowded. It is no wonder we lack the space to be happy. Space can be defined as being a continuous area or expanse which is free and available. Just think about those words 'free' and 'available' for a moment. What do they mean to you? How do you feel when you say them out loud? What images appear in your mind? For me, I imagine feeling free to love, free to run, free to be myself, and free to be available to possibility and opportunity. I visualise myself walking along the beach, holding hands with a friend, playing with my children, or laughing with friends. I also imagine a spacious room with natural light streaming in as I meditate in contentment. You might like to write about your responses to these words or draw images of them in your journal. Ask yourself if you have a sense of freedom and availability in your life. Often we end up being distracted and cluttered by habits, objects, people and places that take us away from ourselves and our happiness. So how do we get this back? How do we get back to our true selves? When we create space, it is like pruning back an overgrown tree and seeing the sun shine through the branches. When we clear away the physical and emotional clutter in our lives, we are making room to focus upon one sensation at a time. We allow ourselves the calmness and clarity to practice the art of noticing and to become fully aware of ourselves and our surroundings. We also rediscover what really matters to us and can begin to see who we really are. As I went through the process of grieving after my marriage ended, there were several stages when I needed to create space in order to heal and be happy. I kept so much stuff from my marriage. I had in a treasured box every card and letter my ex-husband ever sent me, along with gifts and other things which reminded me of my married life. And yes, at times I would look inside this box and reminisce. Sometimes it is positive to hold on to memories, but in this situation, all this stuff was taking up space and keeping me stuck in the past. It was cluttering up my mind and stopping me from moving on. On one occasion, one of my friends pointed in frustration at a wedding picture still displayed on the kitchen buffet and said, "For heaven's sake, get that dinosaur out!" After a while, my girlfriends began coming over to my house and to help me declutter. With their assistance, I cleared out the house and let go of the things I no longer needed. The funny thing was that as much as I felt better when I decluttered and gave things away, it was still hard for me to let go. I think this is because we sometimes allow our emotional baggage to define us so much that we almost become attached to it. I think that's what it was like for me. Life-source breathing exercise This is a pranayamic inspired breathing exercise to help you create the space to be in the moment. I find pranayamic breathing to be incredibly healing in my own journey, especially when I feel overwhelmed or a lack of balance. Prana is a Sanskrit (ancient language of India) word for 'life force', and yama means 'to control'. Pranayama therefore means regulating the breath or respiration. The way we do this is through the formal practice of exercises that control the breath in order that we may feel aware, in the present moment, and vital. Prana or life force enters the body through the action of breathing. Likewise, breath is life – not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well. According to ancient Indian belief, if the prana level is high and its flow is continuous and unencumbered, the mind remains calm, positive and m

Podcast Being well with Lauren Episode 112 Where we choose to look illustrates who we are as individuals, as a community & as a world. Where do you decide to look? Hello, Lauren here. I am a mum of four incredibly awesome, amazing children including twins. I am a passionate blogger, podcaster, writer, personal trainer, and You Tuber. My podcast is about spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. Welcome to my podcast Being well with Lauren. How do you spend your time? Where do your thoughts wander? What are you searching for on the internet? After all, we are where we choose to look, search, think and direct our attention. Our bodies eventually age, but it is our thoughts and our perceptions which give us meaning and make us who we are. Today I look at the top trending search topics on Google and discuss What this says about us as individuals, as a community, and as a world. In the top, Google searches the trending topics today are Sports, Cosmetics, Social media, terrorism, politics, and celebrities. What we search for reflects not only our core values and who we are ... BUT what we teach our children. Where are you directing your mind? How do we spend our lives? What are we thinking about? What are we looking for? What do we search for? ...Because that is who we inherently are. That is the meaning of our lives, and that is what we impart to those around us. Go and make yourself a nice cup of tea and let's have a lovely chat. Today the roads are wet, and it is cold; a great day to snuggle up with a cup of tea in the company of a friend.

Episode 110 of podcast Being well with Lauren True strength comes NOT from fighting or flighting BUT from sitting in the silence As a single Mum, age 51, with four kids, life can be challenging. One of the challenges I continue to face is the precarious ever-changing balance between mothering and maintaining my sense of self. How do you keep a sense of calm in the mayhem of your life? It is Sunday morning. I have just got back from basketball practice, and I have tried( emphasis on the word tried) to clean the house. I have picked up banana peels and apple cores. I have cleaned out the garage. I have washed dishes, put a wash on, Put washing away, cooked food for the next three days( I hope the food lasts that long)cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed and somehow the house still looks pretty terrible. Yes, my life with four kids life can be quite challenging. One of the issues which keep coming back to test me is how to be a Mum( I love being a Mum) without it becoming my only label. After all, Mothering is one of the labels I wear among of so many labels. I am not one story I am many stories. Sometimes in life parenting can tend to dominate our sense of self and like a tsunami drown out everything else. Thats why It is important to find ways to always maintain a sense of self, but this is easier than it sounds. How do you so it? How do you define the balance? How to plan around the mayhem of life without placing yourself under too much pressure? And let's face it Panic just doesn't help but staying calm in the chaos of life is hard work. How do you remain calm? Let's talk through these questions and more. Go and get your cup of tea and let's have a friendly chat.

Putting all our values, attitudes, and beliefs to one side for a moment...I ask you 'what unites us?' What unites us as all people? Would your answer be 'forgiveness'? I know mine is. If you had the megaphone to the world and you could say anything at all, what would you say to change the world? Waleed Aly(Australian much loved new presenter) said last night: 'Instead of sending hatred viral, let's send forgiveness viral.' http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2016/07/19/waleed-sonia-kruger-is-not-evil-shes-scared-im-terrified/ What do you think?

Episode 106 Compassion - Does action speak louder than words? Hi there. It's Lauren here and I'm seated at my favourite comfy chair, cup of tea in hand. Today we discuss compassion. Just as there is no love without compassion so there is no compassion without practicing kindness...every single day. What do you think? Do you agree or do you feel differently? Are our very feelings of compassion definitively compassionate if there is no ensuring compassionate action? Is the feeling of compassion enough in itself?...or is more required? And what is the purpose fo feelings if we are not going to act on the virtuous ones? Let's explore compassion over a cup of tea. xx Lauren ( the whispering mother) Listen to...

Today we're going to talk about one of my formulas to happiness. The acronym for this formula is I V D; a way to remember this is with the words 'I value decisions'.

Episode 102 Plans, goals, parenting & happy mayhem 'Planning to fail is failing to plan' Listen to this podcast on Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/being-well-with-lauren/id1030685050?mt=2 On Stitcher http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/being-well-with-lauren Today I have a mishmash of thoughts to chat about. Have you heard that quote 'planning to fail is failing to plan' ? Today we chat about the importance of planning each and every day in order to feel happy. We talk about balancing roles, multitasking and fulfilling responsibilities. We also explore planning, journaling, and practicing your core values. And of course, we also chat about finding happiness every single day. It is the school holidays here and as you know I have for beautiful ( and young)children home from school. My gratitude for my four beautiful children is one amazing story in my life. However, four beautiful children also bring with it many stories; stories which need to be heard each day. Each day I listen to and process my children's stories of experience, learning, growth, development. Of course, I love to be a mother but I am not only a mother. Mothering is something that I do; a behavior rather than a label. I am so many things and I have many stories which make up the person that I am. So what is the formula to multitasking and still finding happiness? What are your stories? How are you finding and exploring happiness each day? How are you honoring all the stories which make up the amazing person that you are? Do you have your cup of tea ready? Mine is in hand. Let's have a lovely chat.

Episode 101 THE MYTH OF HAPPINESS THROUGH BEAUTY, YOUTH & WEALTH Listen to podcast here: My podcast on Itunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/being-well-with-lauren/id1030685050?mt=2 My Podcast on Stitcher http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/being-well-with-lauren Hello Lauren here, Thank you so much for joining me today for my 101st episode of my podcast "Being well with Lauren". I have a cup of tea here in my favorite cup and I am looking forward to sitting down with you and having a nice chat. Today I talk about my upcoming free course about how to be happy every single day( I can't wait to start please do join me). Email me if you would like to be part of this course on [email protected]. Today I also talk about THE MYTH OF HAPPINESS THROUGH BEAUTY, YOUTH & WEALTH. So, without further ado let's have a lovely chat about how to be happy every single day...It has been a few days since we have spoken...too long...too long I feel...I start with a quote today from one of my favourites Leo Tolstoy 'If you want to be happy be" Isn't that lovely? This quote really says so much doesn't ? It is so simple yet there is so much meaning behind these words. Today I talk about current happiness theories. What I found and what I regularly continue to find when combing the internet is that some blogs have pictures of beautiful young people and these people are smiling by a luxurious pool with a tropical backdrop....with the appearance of wealth suggesting that these elements automatically bring happiness. Yes perhaps these elements of youth, wealth, and beauty may help happiness...to be young beautiful with a healthy smoothie in the hand by a scenic outlook may indeed help our state of mind BUT sustainable is so much more than beauty, bliss, and the perfect circumstances. And to believe that these elusive elements come hand in hand with happiness is simply not true and quite misleading. Happiness is not a byproduct of being young, beautiful with wealth. We all have the right to happiness at any age, regardless of aesthetics, and without depending simply on money. What I think is that happiness is a practice. Just like golf, piano and maths times tables requires a devopment of skill so does the learning of how to feel happy. Today I refer to chapter one in my book "Daily Rituals For Happiness". We need to cognitively learn to feel and practice feeling happy every day. Wouldn't life just be a game of russian roulette if our happiness was simply dependent upon such transient states as beauty, wealth and bliss? If we look at Maslow's law.....we know that happiness requires comfort....( Do you want to hear more?

And I welcome you to my 100th episode. Yay yippee. So why don't you get yourself a nice cup of tea and let's have a chat. I have mine already in hand. How are you? How are you feeling?...I mean how are you really feeling at this moment? It is the morning here and people are busily going to work, driving this way and that, harem scarem, and I have just dropped off the kids at school( the boys that is..the girls are SUPPOSED to catch the bus). It is very busy in the streets around my home. There are dogs barking and there is a lot of life happening here....a lot of morning noise. Do you have a lot of noise in your life? Do you have a lot of responsibilities? Do you ever feel like you are drowning under the weight of life without any time to simply feel happy? Well I think that we can do both, we can find a sense of balance and still feel happy. I want you to take a moment to really consider how you are right now...stop what you are doing( safely) and take a moment to be in the present. How are you feeling right now? This morning I woke up to the noise of my girls( teenage girls mind you) arguing about losing shoes....they were screaming....'I can't find my shoes'...they were late for the school bus...( not uncommon I am sorry to add)aah the juggle of life. On this occasion, I hid my head under the covers and imagined myself as a clown juggling balls and trying to keep them in the air. So how do you feel? Now notice your dominant feelings like waves in the ocean and then notice the quieter grains of sand beneath. What feelings forms those grains? The grains are like all those good feelings we have surrounding a dominant emotion which sweeps in at times. Is it the nice cup of tea that you are currently drinking, the comfy chair, or the green plants by your window? Feelings are never simple, there are always layers and ultimately we decide how we feel. Being happy takes practice...lots of practice. Today I talk about 'how to feel happy' while maintaining the juggle of life. Enjoy.

Episode 96 - An awareness exercise to increase happiness & reduce stress Today we are going to do a fun exercise in awareness to help you feel happier every single day...Would you like to try that? Now this is a really simple exercise you can do at any time to help your mind learn to focus, deliberate, and essentially think more clearly ...so it is really super useful and has a range of benefits. I ask you at the beginning of this episode to bring an item or a thing which gives you comfort. We use this for the awareness practice. And yes by practice I mean this is an exercise you repeat regularly. I recommend daily. The more you practice the better you get at it. And the more you practice the happier you get. Sound good doesn't it? Now with your chosen item in your hand I want you to explore, enjoy, and immerse yourself in that item. Today I use a cup of tea( Because I just love tea and find it comforting). Throughout the episode today we notice our chosen item, we touch it, listen to it, look at it...possibly taste it. This exercise is all about really sitting in the present moment enjoying, appreciating, and focusing on what we have right in front of us. In this way we teach our minds to focus deliberately on what we have in this present moment rather than being distracted, ruminating, over thinking or wandering away from the moment. As we do bicep curls in order to increase our bicep strength, or we may run in order to increase our cardio fitness so we do happiness exercises in order to teach our brain to feel familiar with happiness. In other words we train our happiness muscle. So the feeling of happiness becomes more of a 'go- to' emotion for our brain rather than the emotions of anxiety or negative stress. A trained brain is also more resilient and able to think more clearly which helps with problem solving and stress. So go and get yourself an item which brings you comfort and resonates with who you are and come back and sit down and let's do a simple exercise to train our happiness muscle.

Episode 95 Are you just being too nice? Hi everyone Lauren here... How have you been? I have a lovely cup of English Breakfast tea here and I am looking forward to having a nice chat with you. Today I respond to a business letter addressing self-esteem, negative self-talk, internal dialogue, and maintaining a sense of self. Interspersed with these interesting topics we look at setting boundaries. Ah What a lovely mix! So seat yourself down -pour yourself a hot cuppa and let's get chatting. Here is the letter I'm responding to... What would you say if you respond to this letter? And...What would you say if I asked you to respond to this letter? Why don't you respond below? "Well I've had some problems at work. I've started a new job and there's some girls there who are talking bad about me and I usually don't have low self esteem I usually feel pretty good about myself. But I'm starting to feel like a weakling, I feel like I can't stand up for my self in a positive way. I feel like I'm losing my self in a sense like I'm just letting what those people say effect me in a bad way. I want to be strong like proud of myself and it's not only them I feel like my friends even sometimes take advantage of me. I'm "too nice" I guess I should say so when I say I want to be my own hero I just want to know how to get my courage to say "No" or " I don't like that" I feel like I've lost my voice in what I want or don't want in my life because I'm being too gentle and too nice. I would just like some motivation on how to stand up for myself, be positive, and strong like I think a hero would be. Kind of like a super hero. I hope I don't sound crazy lol" So ....what do you think? What would you say if you were this person's confidante? You can listen to my podcast episode 95 'Are you just too nice?' on either stitcher or iTunes. I include the links. And don't forget to buy my book is on pre-order get yourself a copy so we can get chatting about how to be happy. Here is where you can order your paperback or kindle copy.

Episode 94 Using a 'reflections wheel' to learn to feel happiness Hello there, Lauren here...How have you been? Are you well? Have you been exercising? Are you sleeping? Are you taking care of yourself?I do hope so... ...And now a question for you...How have you been reflecting? Yes that's right...How have you been REFLECTING..in other words how have you been perceiving the experiences of your life? Because your ability to reflect is not only a skill but it helps determine your happiness. Yes that's right HOW WE REFLECT HELPS US TO LEARN TO FEEL HAPPY.This is a really important topic......I have my cup of tea in already in hand ...Go and get yourself a nice hot cuppa and let's get going..But be warned you will need to Roll up your sleeves....and let's do some work on our happiness practice...today I have my diary in hand and have taken some notes... we all want to feel happy and feel a sense of well being don't we?...is that what you want? Do you want to feel good? Do you want to feel happy every day? What do you want from your life? How do you want to feel? Reflections are really important...our cognitive ability to reflect determines how we learn to feel now in the present moment and leads us to how we will feel about the future. And one day you will want to look back on your life. I am not ancient I am only 51 but as my dear son says to me "Mum you have only lived half your life"...I wish! Bless him. Our mind is like a horse and we are the riders...we choose whether to use the reins or allow our horse to gallop wantonly without direction or guidance...Is your horse of life all galloping all over the place? We do choose our thoughts. We choose what thoughts to associate with an event in our life. We choose our feelings. We choose our values. And these choices help determine our journey of life. In today's podcast I talk about making yourself a 'Reflections wheel' in order to help you learn how to feel happy. I saw a 'reflections wheel on the hall wall while I was watching my boys play basketball at a local school yesterday. It was a learning tool used by the school and displayed up on the wall to help children learn to feel more resilient, happier, and open to learning. And I thought why don't we do one today together during the podcast episode. So today we discuss the Reflections wheel and how our way of reflecting upon our lives determines our ability to sit in the present and also shapes the person we become in the future. I have really enjoy doing this episode. I do hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It is relevant to parenting, relationships, Career, and simply our sense of self. Why don't you create your own 'reflections wheel' and let me know about it? I would love to hear from you.

Episode 93 Enjoying the arrival at the platform of life Today I talk about not just enjoying the journey of life but noticing truly notice the arrival. And I use the metaphor of travelling on the train of life. And I talk about travelling from station to station or life achievement to achievement. When we travel from station to station in life we arrive at a number of platforms. Often as soon as we reach the platform our mind is already one foot into the next journey. I thought about this and I refer to my own life experience. So today we do some work to help us appreciate and enjoy the arrival. Today we take the time to stand on the platform of life and appreciate the achievement without jumping straight back on the train. I also talk about the pre-order of my book 'daily rituals the happiness' which is currently on pre-order. Please purchase my book the sales of which supports my next book which is about stress management and also supports my podcast and videos. Hope you're well- Love Lauren.

Episode 91 Too detachment makes Jack an antisocial boy- Parenting - the highs and the lows In this episode, I'm recovering off the back of a lost school jumper issue...an ongoing issue I assure you. Today I talk about the careful and sometimes precarious balance we strike between being the parent full of compassion and without expectation and the parent who sets realistic boundaries and requires the child to be responsible. What is the careful line between attachment and attachment? What do you think? And what about relationships, love, and parenting???? Is it really truly about reducing relationship attachment or does it run more deeply than that? What is the answer? I think the answer is about walking the line between attachment and detachment in order that we allow others to grow, we maintain our boundaries, we maintain a healthy sense of self, and we contribute to the world community and environment. What do you think? What are your views on parenting? On relationship? And by the way, it is 10 days to book release date. Paperback out soon...I promise Warm regards Lauren aka the whispering mother.

Episode 90 The art of noticing and how to be happy every day with tulips & blocked sinks Do you want to learn how to feel happy every single day? Hi everyone, my much-loved book( nicknamed Alby after Albatross) is out on pre-order I'm so incredibly infinitely excited. Today with tea in hand I talk about The art of noticing. This is a really important element in our ability to feel happy every single day. I talk about how to practice the art noticing and how this skill can contribute significantly to not only our happiness but a sense of peace. The art of noticing is about experiencing the moment and squeezing the moment dry. It is about smelling the aromas, noticing the textures, embracing the sounds, and being with every sensual moment. The art of noticing requires practice and as with all practices, it requires skill, focus, and repetition. As we repeat the art of noticing over time our brain cognitively learns to feel happy. What don't you give it a try? Lets experience the art of noticing together. Come with me a journey to learn to feel happy every single day. Warm regards Lauren.
