The Pause Upon Which All Else Relies
by Leo
9 Feb 2012 at 8:56am
Post written by Leo Babauta. There is one little habit I’ve learned that has changed everything else in my life. The pause. When we fail, it’s because we act on urges without thinking, without realizing it. We have the urge to eat junk, and we do it. We have the urge to check email instead [...]
The Thousand Cuts Fitness Program

Post written by Leo Babauta. I’ve trained for marathons, triathlons, 10Ks, a 13.5-hour challenge, Ubanathlons, and more. But my favorite fitness program isn’t one where you train for a major event. It’s where you get fit by a thousand little actions. When the actions are tiny, they are easy. You have no excuse. You can [...]

Creating Silence from Chaos
by Leo
27 Jan 2012 at 3:20pm
Post written by Leo Babauta. We are often afraid of silence, because its emptiness feels idle, boring, unproductive, and scary. And so we fill our lives with chaos, noise, clutter. But silence can be lovely, and therapeutic, and powerful. It can be the remedy for our stress and the habits that crush us. If we [...]
The Habits That Crush Us
by Leo
23 Jan 2012 at 11:26am
‘Don’t panic.’ ~Douglas Adams Post written by Leo Babauta. Why is it that we cannot break the bad habits that stand in our way, crushing our desires to live a healthy life, be fit, simplify, be happier? How is it that our best intentions are nearly always beaten? We want to be focused and productive, [...]
Learning to Sit Alone, in a Quiet Empty Room
by Leo
17 Jan 2012 at 1:49pm
‘All men’s miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.’ ~Blaise Pascal Post written by Leo Babauta. Think about some of the problems of our daily lives, and how many of them would be eased if we could learn to sit alone, in a quiet empty room, with contentment. If [...]
Life as a Conscious Practice
by Leo
13 Jan 2012 at 9:15am
‘Everything is practice.’ ~Pele Post written by Leo Babauta. When we learn a martial art, or ballet, or gymnastics, or soccer ? we consciously practice movements in a deliberate way, repeatedly. By conscious, repeated practice, we become good at those movements. Our entire lives are like this, but we’re often less conscious of the practice. [...]

by Leo
9 Jan 2012 at 12:55pm
Post written by Leo Babauta. Every January, people rush out and get a gym membership, set a list of goals or resolutions, and get ready to take on a new year of frenetic activity. Unfortunately, we don’t often clear space to make room for all this new stuff. The beginning of the year is a [...]


Anxiety Disorder

Here is your Tuesday STORY on: SELF DEVELOPMENT Half the battle is to understand... If we know we can self develop, then the big question is, why don't we? The answer to that would normally consist of excuse after excuse; on the lines of, not enough time, too busy, I lead an active schedule and I can never find the time. So... if half the battle is to understand then a further quarter is to schedule your time. Time seems to drift by too fast and we can never get anything done. I would suggest we waste our time rather than not manage it properly; but that is not the issue at the moment. We can all have good intentions but unless we use our time efficiently we'll never make any actions. In not making actions we don't self develop. Today's story illustrates the crazy world we live in and what we allow to happen. THE PARADOX OF OUR TIME We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too seldom, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom and lie too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space; we've done larger things, but not better things; we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we've split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals; more food but less appeasement; more acquaintances, but fewer friends; more effort but less success. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we've become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the time of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one-night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the show window, and nothing in the stockroom. (Attributed to George Carlin) QUOTE: "Our greatest glory consists not in ever falling... but in rising every time we fall.' (Ralph Waldo Emerson)


16 Year Old Anemic/Tingling In Left Arm?
As of last night I've been experiencing a tingling in my left arm, a slight tingling and a coldness in my right foot, and it's been accompanied by slight lightheaded-ness and nausea when lying on my back. I phoned into my local healthline last night where I was instructed to visit a doctor within the next hour. I made a visit to the emergency room where a nurse dismissed my symptoms as anxiety (I am diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder) I've been awake for just over three hours and am now noticing the tingling again. Anxiety, or related to my anemia?

Do I have an anxiety disorder, or should I check with a doctor?
I've always been an extremely shy, timid, anxious person. I always am worried about lots and assume the worst. In class the other day, I had a point I wanted to bring up, but of course I would never. But I started contemplating it and before I knew it, my heart was beating faster than I've ever experienced and it felt as though my heart would jump out of my chest. I'm sure it was something similar to a fight-or-flight response. This is the first time it's happened to this severity. Usually I'll feel a palpitation or my cheeks will flush hot. I've thought about my anxiety before as being an issue, but should I check with a doctor?

Is biting the skin around your nails a sign of an anxiety disorder?
I've been doing this for as long as i can remember. Along with biting the skin off of my cheeks (inside of my mouth obviously) i've just can't remember when i haven't done this. Does this mean anything bad?
