Many like the benefits of meditation. Yet, many find meditation challenging - having to sit still, observe thoughts or not, focus on breathing or not…. The objective of meditation is to connect with that space of stillness. How we do it needn’t be confined by “how it should be done” or “meditation 101.” Right way or wrong way, the most important way is the way that works for you, not for others. LIFE TRUTH in small bites Ep 3 - Meditation without meditating explores how we can change the way we think about meditation and do meditation without meditating in our own way. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kitty-yeungdowner/message

In our society, actions are often either named as selfish or selfless. The word SELF often has a negative connotation which doesn't always reflect the truth. As a result, many people (and I know a few mums and dads) feel bad or guilty taking a little me-time even when they are in need of a much-needed break. This episode is made with you in mind, and anyone who needs to take care of others and yet feels guilty taking a little time out. In this episode, I explore why it is more pertinent to look at the intentions behind the actions, selfish or selfless, not the actions alone. When we are clear with our thoughts and the truth behinds them, we can take the much-needed me-time more at ease and in peace. 🙏🏻 Know someone who feels bad about taking metime?

🌈LIFE TRUTH in small bites🌈 The first episode of a new series! I WISH I HAD - many of us have a few “I wish I had” at the back of our mind, wishing we had said or done something differently in our life or with someone, in the past. Yet, “I wish I had” doesn’t serve anyone. It’s all hindsight versus insight. A 5 min video shines a different light on “I wish I had” and why it is important to remove this non-serving thought in our mind and in our life. Tap into our Truth. Create our Legend. 🙏🏻The intention in creating “LIFE TRUTH in small bites” is to break down the complex life truth into easy-to-understand small pieces so that we can understand them better and more importantly explore how best we can apply them to live a soul-fulfilling life. 👇🏻Like the episode?

Last episode this year. We reviewed the topics we covered this year and how we responded to our current environment by sharing insights and secrets to support and sustain our success as defined in #SSKL Ep3. Many things happened this year. Instead of using our mind to review what we have achieved/not achieved or what's gone well or not so well, let's take a moment to just sense how we feel. How do we feel? And what do we feel we need to help us recharge and be ready for the new year? Thank you for joining and supporting us this year. Wishing you all a joyful and tranquil holiday no matter where you are and how you choose to spend your time! #liveourtruthspeakourtruth #lifemessages #wellness #yearend #happyholidays Photo by Denise Karis on Unsplash --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kitty-yeungdowner/message

A great episode as we explored what Winter Solstice means in the West (U.S.) and East (Hong Kong).  Winter Solstice is on 21st Dec. Spend a moment to think about how we can:   🌙 Ride with the energy of wintertime to go IN and WITHIN ourselves.  🌙 Make use of this time to cosy up to heal, nourish and nurture ourselves to get ready to blossom again in Springtime.  🌙 Keep the light within us even though we have less daylight around us    🌙 Recharge, refresh and rejuvenate ourselves (sit in front of a fireplace, breath in the fresh cold air...) with the moonlight and its energy.  🌙 Change our perspective of DOING. Many of us feel we need to be doing something in action. But Being IS doing; it is a passive form of doing. Giving the space for BEING can have more profound results than Doing we are accustomed to.   🤔 How are you going to embrace and make use of this wintertime and its heavier energy to succeed in life?     #liveourtruthspeakourtruth #lifemessages #wintersolstice #cosyup #embracethedark #lifemovingforward #wellness #mindset #foodforthought --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kitty-yeungdowner/message

Thanksgiving is coming up. It provides us with a great opportunity to look at the meaning behind it and also exactly what we are celebrating given our lives are so different from its origin. #SSKL Ep.11 - Thanksgiving - Are we taking Gratitude for Granted, explored Thanksgiving at different angles, including how we can cultivate a practice and be grateful on a daily basis, the importance of having a clean and clear space for Self, questions we can ask to gain clarity and take actions to move forward in our lives. Many origins of our celebrations are no longer aligned with our modern lives. It is our responsibility to look at our actions to traditions, not traditions to actions. To receive is a blessing. To give is a gift. Give thanks to what we have. More importantly, give thanks to our ability to give, be it big or small, no matter how much or little we think we have. Here is the link to the article I wrote on the back of the show.  Happy Thanksgiving! #thoughtleaders #foodforthoughts #selfdevelopment #thanksgiving # #gratitude --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kitty-yeungdowner/message

We're living in a stormy world: Covid, protests, civil unrest, weather-related storms... and the uncertainty of the US election. Lisa and I explored how we could stay calm and grounded in the midst of it all and how we could still move forward with the changes we want to make, win or lose. Here is a recap of the highlights and replay. We may not have control of everything in the world but we certainly have control in how we respond and behave in our world. When done mindfully with intentions, as small as the impacts may be, we are still making history. Have compassion and curiosity when speaking with someone who has an opposing viewpoint from ours. Have "the conversation" only when there is space for it. Like training for a marathon or any competition, we need to train our mind to stay calm and centred. Dwelling on the negative doesn’t help. Pointing the fingers at others only create more negativity. If we focus on Self and take action from there, little by little we can make the shifts we want to see. Collaborations vs competitions. When we work together, not against each other albeit our differences, progresses and changes can still be made. Losing doesn’t mean we lose our say. We only lose our say when we stop speaking and living our truth. The Eye of the storm is where all the calmness and true power is. If we don't want to be swept away by it, we need to learn to be the eye of the storm and ride through it each time we are in one. #liveourtruthspeakourtruth #lifemessages #mindset #USElection #ridethewaves #betheeyeofthestorm  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kitty-yeungdowner/message

From what a cuppa is to a 3-tier high tea set, #SSKL Ep.9 - De-Stress with a Cuppa covered great points on how we can turn our time for a cuppa to an ultimate sanctuary for self-care in our daily life.     Key points:  ☕️ Is our cuppa time a habit or a ritual?  🍵 Habit is something we do regularly with or without awareness. Ritual is something we do with intentions and purposes.  ☕️ We can turn our habit of a cuppa into a ritual that helps us destress and be centred, and then turn that ritual into our habit 🙂  🍵 Choose a place where we can be "alone" and feel centred to tune OUT from the external world in order to tune IN to our internal world.  ☕️ Write a journal, listen to music, watch the world go by or better yet, what our thoughts and let them wander and wonder during our cuppa time. 🍵 The goal isn't to suppress or silent what's in our mind. It is to gain clarity. Anything goes. Any method works. The point is to find the one that works for us.    #liveourtruthspeakourtruth #lifemessages #mindset #mindfullness #selfdevelopment #wellness #cuppa --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kitty-yeungdowner/message

This episode talks about the 6 Ws of eating for nourishment, pleasure and success! Every way of eating is a success if it aligns with our goal and body. The question is, "Do we pay enough attention to Self and how we respond to the food we consume?"

No one was born with fear. Yet, we all have it. Whenever fear turns up, do we ask ourselves, "Is it mine?" We can easily pick up the energy of fear from others and think it is ours. This is more relevant than ever given what is happening globally. Living WITH or IN fear is our choice, a choice that we can make when we are clear about fear - where it comes from, what that fear is and why it is present. Fear has a bad image. But if we choose to embrace it, it gives us an opportunity to grow and transform fear into fuel. Being clear with our "why", passion and desire are paramount. When they are clear and strong, we are more able to move forward, dive into the unknown and embrace life challenges albeit fear. So do the work and be clear with Self. A great deal was explored in this episode of #SSKL. What's your biggest fear? Where does it come from? Why do you have it? And more importantly, what are you doing about it? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kitty-yeungdowner/message
