Overcoming


daily stressors
Stress has become a cornerstone of
modern life, so learning to be aware
of the way we deal with stress on a
daily basis is a fundamental aspect of
maintaining our health and happiness.
When we consistently practise deep
belly breathing, yoga and meditation,
we’re more aware of ourselves and our
bodies, and are better equipped to deal
with daily stressors. If stress is a problem
for you, one of the nurturing residential
retreats at Quest For Live can provide
you with valuable life skills and coping
strategies. For more information, visit
questforlife.com or call 1300 941 488 to
speak with a program adviser.

Healing affirmations


Repeating daily affirmations is a
powerful way to transform your
thoughts to positive intentions,
rather than suffering through
negative thought patterns. Every
morning, set an intention such as ‘I
am healthy’ or ‘I am powerful’
and repeat this mantra
throughout the day. As you
focus your mind on positive
ideas and outcomes,
your self-dialogue
begins to shift for the
better, leading to more
positive life experiences.

Invoking purification


Incense has been used for thousands of years to re-establish harmony and balance
in mind and body. The powerful fragrance of sandalwood is particularly useful in
purifying the air and energy of the home. It can be used to cleanse your space and
enhance practices such as yoga, meditation, mindfulness and intention setting.

“Happiness
cannot be travelled
to, owned, earned, worn
or consumed. Happiness is
the spiritual experience of
living every minute with love,
grace and gratitude.”
