About

Mindful BLISS

Read full description

Receive a daily notification at a time to suit your schedule. A calming thought may uplift your mood at the start or end of your busy day. BLISS displays just one calming thought and image each day. This is deliberate to allow your mind to focus on the meaning of the message for you and to digest it. After 3 months the thoughts will start to repeat. Like a chant this helps to affirm the meaning of the message in your mind. Embrace mindful sayings, proverbs and quotes from the likes of the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Vera Brittain, Oscar Wilde, Mark Twain and others.
