Thank you all for your #AskRuby questions - fascinating as always.  You can ask me anything with #AskRuby over on twitter.

@Rubywax #AskRuby which book should I start with first Sane New World or mindfulness guide for the Frazzled, in your opinion?
 
If you want to know why you’d need Mindfulness get Sane New World. If you want to learn how to do mindfulness (my much easier to use in everyday life version) go to Frazzled. I’d say get both and cut between the two continuously until you’re finished, then I’ll write you another book.

@Rubywax #askruby How do you stop yourself constantly worrying about things you can't do anything about? X
​
Worrying always means you can’t do anything about something - otherwise you wouldn’t worry. If you recognize this simple truth then start to listen to the worrying as you would a familiar but irritating sound track – eventually you lose interest.

#AskRuby it's hard keeping good routines on bad days but at least I have dark cloud reminding me why needed. On good days I forget. Any tips

If you have a good day, bring out the champagne, blow up the balloons and celebrate. You’re lucky to have one day with no clouds.
