It can be very hard to concentrate on one thing at a time – yet that is the key to success. Try this practice.
Sit comfortably. Find a spot at eye level in front of you and focus on that spot with a soft gaze.
Now turn your attention to your breathing. Notice the breath coming in and going out. If you are breathing through the mouth, try to breathe through the nose
Now repeat a word or short phrase such as ‘peace’, ‘calm’ or whatever else you need, as you breathe in.
Get up slowly and resume the day!
Om Shantih

I started my first novel, aged 8, in a draughty vicarage, finishing it 14 years later. My first poem emerged on a Sussex beach in 1965, but I didn’t return to poetry until 2007: I’m still trying to find out why.
I have published short stories, poems and reviews and am a recognised performance poet. I’ve been married 21 years and have two children, Holly, 20 and Daniel, 17; but my husband now wants to be known as female. My struggles with this and its effects on my writing, are the springboard for short stories and a radio play.
