Self help For DIFFICULT TIMES
During our lives, it’s inevitable that we will experience suffering at some point. Using the principles of Buddhism as a basis, Esther Ekhart shares her insight into how we can work with the mind to enable us to move beyond the stories we create around our suffering

The first of the four noble truths of Buddhism is that ‘Life is suffering’. This doesn’t mean that life is only suffering - there are, of course, many beautiful and wonderful aspects to life - it just means that no one can live their life without facing some amount of suffering. In light of this fact, it’s helpful to take a closer look at what we can do to help ourselves.
