The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

–\u00a0James Allen<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

I’m sure James Allen believed calmness was as effective for a woman as it is for a man. In fact to be kind, calm and brave are some of the oldest and simplistic goals we should all have.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the majority of us life gets in the way of accomplishing these simple daily goals. \u00a0It might be a heavy deadline, a family crisis or financial woe or any number of inconsequential happenings that occur throughout our day.\u00a0In an ideal world we would be able to control our inner self through a mantra or through a guided meditation phone app ( I have definitely tried the latter). The truth is that we don’t live in an ideal world \u00a0and so anything that can help us to stay focused on staying calm, being kind and brave can only be \u00a0a good thing right?<\/p>\n

The School of Life<\/a> is a cultural enterprise that that aims to develop emotional intelligence. \u00a0I have been to a couple of talks at their HQ in Russell Square and they are interesting, intelligent and unpretentious. \u00a0As well as talks they have published a number of books and now they have collaborated with Momij<\/a>i to create three virtue dolls<\/a> “to remind you of your better self”<\/p>\n

Inside each doll there is a small folded card for your own handwritten message, dream or wish. Once written \u00a0simply place your virtue doll somewhere in clear view to remind you to of the virtue you have chosen. It’s the juxtaposition of ancient virtues in our modern day lives, it’s basically mindfulness packaged up in a cleverly designed bundle of cuteness. They are instant classics and we are channelling our virtues in the .Cent office.<\/p>\n

Here’s our little guy below \u00a0Ommmmmmmmmmmm…. calm calm calm ……<\/p>\n
