Cover Photo with thanks to village photographer Paul Tyler It is always a joy to walk along Bath Road on a warm summer evening after a long hot day and actually be able to smell the flowers as well as see them. There is a lot of talk these days about being ‘centred’, and have you noticed a great many people start their answer to interview questions on TV and Radio with, “So”? Do you find it infuriating too? However, it is all part of the ‘being centred’ craze. Rather than just making a big deal out of it with training Guru’s and the like, perhaps we should all just simply be in the moment occasionally. It’s a cliché but do stand back and smell the flowers; let the noise in your brain quieten. Steal 15 minutes to do something you want to do rather than what you should be doing. I recently had a health issue and simply by loading an app onto my phone has made a heck of a difference. It reminds me to stand up and walk around for a minute in every 30 whilst working at my PC, or in my studio. For that minute I’m in the moment and solely aware of me. Perhaps I’m just an old hippy but it certainly works. Health issue improved! Paul Tyler Editor www.atworthvillage.co.uk [email protected] Yer Tiz Atworth Village Magazine—June 2014 Page 3
