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

‘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, [...]

‘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 [...]

‘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.

Post written by Leo Babauta. So you’ve been putting off tackling your clutter for months, maybe even years.

Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Jeff Goins of Goins, Writer. This new year, do something different: stop setting goals.

Happy Single

Here is your Monday STORY on: LOVE: It has been said that to LOVE others you must first be able to love yourself. But how is that achieved? Start small, understand small, then move bigger... If your self esteem is low we need to immediately recognise what is good about ourselves. Our plus points don't just disappear! We may be standing in line at a supermarket and the person behind has only two items. Do we think we are busy or do we let the person through? If we let the person through, we are caring and considerate. If we can see a little of this each hour we have enough to start building a foundation of love. If we catch a bee in the house, do we stamp on it or do we catch it and let it out of the back door? If we let it out of the back door or a window, this is another sign of consideration, love and caring. These small things add up. So... Let's assume we had hit rock bottom; perhaps a few bad days tagged onto each other. It doesn't mean that we loose our character and determination, it just means it isn't engaged that's all. You cannot SEE anything of value when you're at rock bottom; that is when we need to be reminded of the beauty of PAUSING. When you pause you can let go of where you are at. In effect it allows a shift of perspective and you can SEE the light once more. To pause allows you to see the truth and generate energy, allowing you strength to make changes. If you've loved others once you can love others again, but first you must clear the way to LOVE yourself. Take a look back into your past and see a few moments that love was clearly evident. SMILE... You can do it again. You do not need to find new skills, you've had them before, you just need a reminder on how to use them again. Today's excerpt whilst written for women applies to men also. Each line has a major instruction within it. In being able to accept these guidelines is a sign that you have LOVE in your soul. If you can nod in appreciation of the message they give, you'll be oozing love. EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW... How to fall in love without losing herself... How to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship... When to try harder ... and when to walk away... That she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents... That her childhood may not have been perfect... but it's over... What she would and wouldn't do for love or more... How to live alone ... even if she doesn't like it... Whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally... Where to go ... be it to her best friend's kitchen table ... or a charming inn in the woods... when her soul needs soothing... What she can and can't accomplish in a day ... a month ... and a year (Unknown Author) QUOTE: 'Exercise alone provides physical benefits of which we know. However, if you also adopt a strategy that engages your mind while you exercise, you can get a whole host of psychological benefits fairly quickly as well.' (James Rippe, M.D.)


Should I try being hypnotised so that I can have a normal relationship with a man?
I am 33 and have never had a boyfriend. I am happy being single but other people can't accept it. I have had boys as friends before but nothing physical. Although I am happy single, I feel maybe it is better to have a boyfriend and have sex just to shut people up. I HATE people touching me. I never hug anyone, not even my parents (even though I do love them) so I don't know how I could ever hug a man! When I was younger, if my grandmother kissed me, I would HATE it and run away. So my family now all know to never try to hug, kiss me, etc. People have said hurtful comments to me before, telling me that there is something wrong with me and that I'm abnormal, etc, etc. I know I shouldn't listen to them but I can't help feeling upset by their comments. Sometimes I have lied to people and told them I lost my virginity as a teenager and that I've had lots of boyfriends in the past, just to keep them quiet and for them to think I'm 'normal' and not say nasty things to me. I'm worried about bleeding after first sex and I'm sure that would terrify and disgust the hell out of me! I also worry about feeling sore afterwards,getting infections, etc. I've tried getting drunk before in order to 'end up in bed with a man' but the alcohol only made me sick. So is being hypnotised a good idea? I know that really I should tell the people who say horrid comments to me to MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS and SHUT THEIR STUPID, PATHETIC MOUTHS. But I hate having rows. So getting a boyfriend and getting into bed with him, however much I dread it is probably the only way to SHUT THEM UP without having the horrible experience of a row. No answers? Never mind. I suppose I'll have to sort out my problem on my own. I suppose no answers is better than horrible answers

Happy Single Mom Stories?
So! I am 8 weeks pregnant and I will apparently be doing this alone. Sometimes the thought of that can be so scary and it's easy to fall trap to the idea that I will never be able to find a decent guy and get married once I have a kid. I'll just be single forever. I thought it would be nice to hear if any of you had any Happy Single Mom Stories (you or someone you know, not television) as a reminder that things can still work out for me. Thanks so much! =)

Why does the media and society portray women as stronger and more independent than they actually are?
Women buy it, think that they have to be this way and live as someone they don't want to be. Old's Cool even said once said that she only appears strong and independent because that is how she wants people to see her, not really how she is inside: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111109160016AAqNdaM&r=w&pa=EJFyD3bpBV_MdvjDf6rs4yNgUTpEQFDkPYq1DcjRaGbMRHbSSG0AxUM6GQ--&paid=deleted_answer#answers In cartoons and on TV women are constantly portrayed as physically strong as men, or happy single in their 30s. What is this trying to achieve? But do women really want to be equal to men? Or do they just want men to look after them? @ Avery Ahem. I'm actually not a man believe it or not. @ Paul You do recognize that I have said society as well, right? It would be OK if it was just on TV etc but it's not.
