Post written by Leo Babauta. Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck.

‘Everything you can imagine is real.’ ~Pablo Picasso Post written by Leo Babauta.

‘A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.’ ~Lao Tzu Post written by Leo Babauta. There is something about my mind, and many people’s minds, that is overly optimistic. We think we can do so much each day, and so we overplan. We fill our plans with so much, confident [...]

HAPPINESS:
If you are not happy all of the time, then at least be assured that this is how most people exist. It is how most of us seem to perceive our humdrum existence.
Yet however, we can improve this ratio of understanding with practice. With a steady progress we can also become skilful at being happy for longer and more often.
Let me explain with a story how easy it is to approach life in the wrong manner. If you can raise a smile at this story, you'll be aware that this type of anger exists within your own soul.
REVENGE
...Once upon a time, there was a wise man who insisted that to live well, one had to be positive and thankful for all of life.
One day, a traveller came to him and said, 'How can I be positive? Nothing goes right in life! I've been badly hurt by people I have trusted, and now I want revenge!'
The wise man shook his head. 'What would you do to those that hurt you?' he asked.
'I'd tear them limb from limb... I'd ruin their business... I'd...' and he broke off. 'Can you help me get revenge?' he begged.
'Yes'' said the wise man. 'I'll certainly help you, but first you must do two things for me.'
'I will, ' said the traveller.
'First, ' said the wise man, 'I want you to tear a branch off that tree over there.'
The traveller readily went to the tree and twisted off a large branch. 'There you are! What's the second thing?'
The wise man smiled. 'Now put it back, ' he said.
The traveller stood staring. 'I can't do that, ' he said.
'No, ' said the wise man. 'So remember this; it's very easy to wound and destroy, but it is more difficult to repair the damage that has been done. Note that the tree won't hurt you back. It will go on growing and bearing fruit. It's much better to be creative than destructive - - even to people that have hurt you.'...
For every moment you want revenge, and then realise it is both pitiful and destructive, there is a moment of sweetness soon after; as you settle for a positive attitude instead of a negative.
Rather than wallow in your own sadness, rejoice in the skill you have developed to overcome your revenge.

questions on going to the psychiatrist?
Ok so I have been to a therapist (counseler and she referred me 2 a psychiatrist on my 2nd visit...I went and he said he saw signs of :bipolar, adhd, (already been diagnosed with is so it don't matter) and ocd. But none of the symptoms are pronounced enough to be a single one, and I'm goin back Monday and I have questions: 1st, I was put on tryleptol (highest dosage) for mood swings but had to discontinue due to rash and other side effects. Will he put me on a different meds? Or quit me on them...will he put me on adhd /ocd meds instead? (My main thing is the mood swings having to do with bipolar). Will he make a diagnosas finally? I think they helped (meds) but I had to quit...so what will he do (probable) all in all total? (Personal experience preferred, not required)
Hey! Let's just slap a mental symptom on...?
on whoever we dislike. Call them schitzo, mental, sociopath, bipolar, adhd or any other mental condition and send them away to a mental institution. This way our annoyances will be done away with. It's so popular these days we can do it to politicians, respected scientists, leaders of the country. We longer need people assassinated, we can just have them sent to a psychiatric ward. Does anyone have a better idea with doing away with people?
True love? Or Obsession?
long story short i had this personal train who i called Coach Law. he basically changed my life drasticly. i lost 35 pounds in only 3 months, but i came to the conclusion that i was showing off for him. after a while things got way to personal, incuding the fact i was sent to the mental hospital (i have bipolar, adhd and aspurgers) he was the only one who i wanted to see and he came to visit me! he also signed my up for a college course at my local community college but after that it all fell down hill. he started to kinda not give a crap about me and made me do everything on my own but i didnt really care. i fell in love with him (im 21 hes 37) he basically stole alot of money (in the thousands) due to his no refund policy and the fact that i have a back problem and could no longer do the hardcore workouts as he wanted me to.
but to the chase, i have so many feelings for him and i know for him telling me he has at least an equal amount of feelings for me. i sent him an email about 2 months after not talking trying to just ask to be friends, i get a respose 10 min later stating to never contact him in any way shape or form or to ever come near his gym or his staff because i am so unstable.
i have so many questions i want to ask him but i can not talk to him or see him. i have literally physically hurt myself over this man! what do i do!
A. is there any way to actually talk with him?
B. should i just try harder to let it go?
C. try again to be friends?
