Why are we so unhappy?

Why are we so unhappy?

Rates of unhappiness, dissatisfaction with life and suicide are at an all time high.
 
The Australian Unity Wellbeing Index recently conducted a study that showed that here in Australia (where we are based) life satisfaction is at its lowest point in two decades.
 
We have access to more information, more resources and more 'stuff' than ever before. And yet what we see is a decline in happiness and a rise in mental health concerns. 
When times are tough, one of the first things people let go of is wellbeing practices. As though looking after your health both physical and mental is some sort of luxury. 
“We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.”
― ram dass
As the wonderfully wise Ram Das teaches us in the above quote, we are all connected. When the collective mindset shifts to lack and despair the collective action soon follows. 
I know I personally don't want to live in a world of unhappy people! I don't want to suffer through life, struggling each and every day. I'm sure you feel the same!
So, what do we do about it? 
We look after ourselves! We prioritise our mental health and encourage others to do the same. 
Because what's happening around us, does NOT have to dictate our internal experience of life. There's power in the collective consciousness, which means there's power in YOU to help shift it. 
If you're reading this, knowing that you've let your practices slide. That you are neglecting your health and sliding down a slippery slope towards un-happiness this is your call to DO something about it. To take responsibility for the way you experience this life. 
We are here to help in SO many ways. Our Premium Membership offers community AND 1:1 support from us, our Meditation Course gives you a technique you can practice anywhere, anytime and access inner peace PLUS ongoing support from us. 
This is how we believe we change the world. By empowering individuals with the tools and techniques to thrive. So that collectively we can move into a time of abundance, flow and prosperity. No matter what the external environment throws our way. 
We're in it together. You are never alone.
