Many people ask me about sleep problems...
Do I believe in sleeping pills?
No, not really. Sleep is natural and you don:'t need to take pills even if you have problems sleeping. ıt's all about restoring the balance in your sleep system. Here is a great page I wrote about the connection between depression and sleep. I think you'll find it helpful. Comment below and tell me what you think...

How to help someone with depression...
I've written quite a lot about depression and what to do if you're suffering from the pain it causes. Today I'd like to take a slightly different slant on this and talk about what you can do to help someone who has depression.
Do you know someone who is suffering from depression?
What can you do to support them and help them?
I've put together a list of things you can try and which will work.

A Special Milestone...
This week I reached a milestone - I published and sent out my 100th. newsletter!
The newsletter started in 2002 and is still going strong helping my readers to build their self esteem.
In between the monthly newsletters I send out a weekly inspirational message covering many self help topics which always gets a fabulous response:
"Thank you so much, Karl for all your inspiring and encouraging mails." - Grace
And this comment that makes me feel very humble:
"I am extremely touched by message on MISTAKES, the message was timely and equally encouraging. I thank Jehovah for creating people like you. You are a light, to illuminate lives."

How to Master Self Esteem...
"To master self esteem one has to know God gave you a unique identity that comes with authority.Look at every one who lives and walks confidently,they understand their uniqueness and for one i have began my great walk of confidence and self esteem.I have to let everyone know that there's no one like me.I am here,if anyone doesn't like it its their problem.
This is what you should say to yourselves to attain a strength beyond your imagination.
One last thing,walk with your head up high,it helps you adapt to the confident walk."
This came from Edwin and I publish it here because I think the comments are so true!
Be back soon with more inspiration,

A Great Peace of Advice...
I received this helpful advice from a reader today and thought I would share it with you. I hope it helps you...
"I can share the advice that a friend gave me and I'm trying to apply:
Always spend time with people that love you, and cut the ones that don't from your time, cause we learn to see ourselves from the eyes of the ones that are around us"
I think that's such a great peace of advice because so often we stick around with those who really hurt us rather than gravitate towards those who love us.
I wish you a wonderful weekend!

An Exciting Announcement and a Personal Ambition Realised..
I'm so excited to tell you that I have just launched my new book on Amazon.com!
It is a paperback version of my e-book which I have updated because I received so many requests for a physical version of the ebook.
You can order a copy here:
"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world."
Until next week,
Take care,

How do you think about problems?
When you have a problem to solve or a major challenge in your life, how do you think about it?
Perhaps you have something that you need to do but inside you think that it's very difficult.
I found myself making challenges even worse by focusing on the problem and not on the solution.
Our brains look for problems to solve. There are many around but what do you do when you run into a problem or challenge you need to face?
Sometimes thinking about the problem can make it worse. How?
By focusing on the difficulties and obstacles that lie ahead. If you do this you magnify the problems in your mind and paralyze yourself. You are most likely to take action when you feel you can succeed but focusing on the obstacles and difficulties destroys action.
Are you spending your energy building up your problems until they seem like huge unbreakable walls in front of you?
I have done this to myself many times but now I am convinced that those with vision and a will to succeed are those who can look beyond the problems and difficulties and begin to break down the fear by focusing their energy on solutions.
Think of a challenge you face in your life. Maybe a change you need to make. How have you been thinking about it? Isn't it about time you began to channel your thought and energy into how to move forward and stop focusing on how difficult it all looks?
I'll be back with more very soon...
Take care,
Karl Perera
