‘He who is contented is rich.’ ~Lao Tzu Post written by Leo Babauta. There has been little in my life that has made as much an impact as learning to be content — with my life, where I am, what I’m doing, what I have, who I’m with, who I am. This little trick changes [...]

How to Fail at Habits
by Leo

Post written by Leo Babauta. Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck. I kept trying to change various habits — running, eating healthier, waking earlier, getting out of debt, ending procrastination — and I kept failing. I got very good at failing, in fact. Looking back on those days, given the power [...]

Why We Overplan
by Leo
17 Apr 2012 at 8:40am
‘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.

Here is your Monday STORY on: LOVE: Love is such a complex subject. It is said that before you can love others, you must first love yourself. You must respect and admire your own actions, not to fuel your ego, but to make you credible. When you see this love, you can then offer an equal to others. Upon my study of anger, I found that 95% of the time anger is self inflicted. That is that when you are angry at someone, you were first angry at yourself. Love is exactly the same. If you sense your love is fading, first look at yourself and correct and tweak your own actions. If you could avoid expectations in love, you'll be surprised at how frequent love repays your own endeavours. Imagine a few blissful hours with your children in the park. You've bonded a little more. You walk home alongside the supermarket and seen and old lady struggling with her shopping. You have no hesitation; you tell the children to hold on a moment until you've helped pack the shopping in the car boot for this lady. You return home and your partner has cooked the perfect meal, the house is tidy, the dining table set for a banquet. The children flitter through the house, find a seat to rest their tired body and sit quietly reading or watching television. That may or may not be the perfect ending to a few hours play in the park, but it was if someone was watching. The love you gave your children in the park, made you alert enough to see the lady struggling at the supermarket, whereas another day you'd have missed it. Your partner another day may well have been on the phone when you arrived back and flustered with the daily chores. If you give it, you'll receive it back! If you live in a world of lies, you'll only ever dream of love... Whilst this next story is called 'Great Expectations' it should be called, 'Apply the Truth and Bliss Will Follow...' Great Expectations Pete Rose, the famous baseball player, and I have never met, but he taught me something so valuable that it changed my life. Pete was being interviewed in spring training the year he was about to break Ty Cobb's all time hits record. One reporter blurted out, "Pete, you only need 78 hits to break the record. How many at-bats do you think you'll need to get the 78 hits?" Without hesitation, Pete just stared at the reporter and very matter-of-factly said, "78." The reporter yelled back, "Ah, come on Pete, you don't expect to get 78 hits in 78 at-bats do you?" Mr. Rose calmly shared his philosophy with the throngs of reporters who were anxiously awaiting his reply to this seemingly boastful claim. "Every time I step up to the plate, I expect to get a hit! If I don't expect to get a hit, I have no right to step in the batter's box in the first place!" "If I go up hoping to get a hit, " he continued, "Then I probably don't have a prayer to get a hit. It is a positive expectation that has gotten me all of the hits in the first place." When I thought about Pete Rose's philosophy and how it applied to everyday life, I felt a little embarrassed. As a business person, I was hoping to make my sales quotas. As a father, I was hoping to be a good dad. As a married man, I was hoping to be a good husband. The truth was that I was an adequate salesperson, I was not so bad of a father, and I was an okay husband. I immediately decided that being okay was not enough! I wanted to be a great salesperson, a great father and a great husband. I changed my attitude to one of positive expectation, and the results were amazing. I was fortunate enough to win a few sales trips, I won Coach of the Year in my son's baseball league, and I share a loving relationship with my wife, Karen, with whom I expect to be married to for the rest of my life! Thanks, Mr. Rose! (Barry Spilchuk, Speaker and Author) QUOTE: 'I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling the truth than adore me for telling you lies.'

I need help finding the right medication for bipolar disorder?
Right now I'm on Seroquel, Depakote, and Geodon. I hate the idea of putting drugs and chemicals in my body so I would like a pill that does not require another one to go with it (like Seroquel and Depakote). I need medication that will not cause birth defects and that does not make me sleep because I can't stay awake in my class and at work. I also hear about a bipolar medication taken in shot form that I am interested in because I rather that then taking medication orally. Please give me a list of ideal medications and their side effects with information on them. Thank you :)

Tapering off bipolar medications/ atypicals?
Hello To start I am a grad student who recently had a manic episode caused by untreated bipolar. I was hospitalized and released out on a slew of medications- Lithium and Seroquel and Abilify. However I strongly think that these meds have slowed me down considerably. its taken an unbelievable amount of time to even write this post. My memory feels impaired and i strongly think it has to do with the medications. I am way too slow right now. Will tapering off some of the meds reverse the cognitive impairment and restore my mental faculties?

Red spots on my chin?
Ok so I am a 12 year old female, and I have this red spots on my face. At first I noticed it, and there were only a few of them, and yesterday my mom saw it and told me that there are more spots. I agreed. The spots BARELY have any texture. I went to the dermatologist a month ago and I had nothing. no spots. Then they came. What should I do? It is not an allergy. I have like a routine meal. (monday I eat this, tuesday that...) I should add that I don't eat red meat. No new creams, environments, etc. Same bedding. SAME EVERYTHING!! It seems like every day there is another spot. they are very little. I AM SURE THEY ARE NOT PIMPLES!! I don't have problems with acne. My face DOESN'T hurt itch or anything... Could it be something serious? I NEVER expose myself for TOO much to the sun. I didn't scratch myself or anything. I am currently taking antidepressants, anxiety medication, and bipolar medication. I have been on them for a while now, so it is not them. I dont know if this has anything to do with it but: yesterday I had THE WORSE headache of my life. I could bearly stand. I was also very lazy and sleepy. should i go to the doctor? Thanks, Aurea
