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 [...]

‘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, [...]

Jealousy

Here is your Thursday STORY on: ADAPTING TO CHANGE: Too much CHANGE in our life can cause health problems; unless we have the skill and strength to deal with it. I have been close to a colleague who has been advised to stop smoking for health reasons. The advice that came back from the clinic was to change your daily routine as habit is a major obstacle that needs to be overcome. Rather than get up in a morning, go downstairs and make yourself a drink and have a cigarette, before you're prepared to have a wash and clean your teeth; is a ritual of routine. Nicotine patches and the varying remedies to inject nicotine into your body are helpful to wean you off the drug, but it is the habit that can be your downfall. The suggestion from the clinic is to move that favourite chair where you sat to have a cigarette, change your daily routine so that you get up in a morning and wash and clean your teeth before you go downstairs. Change your bad habits! I would hope that this instruction from the clinic is clear? But what does it also inform us? That habit can control our life without us knowing. If you had a problem you're going to react the same way you did the last time the situation arose; that is habit, not the lack of knowledge. Today's story is an illustration on how to change the way we perceive. We need to take note, because our habitual reaction to CHANGE can cause anguish and ill-health. I AM GOD Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved... but in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege. Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years. Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return. Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children. Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk. Should you notice a new grey hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine. Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity. Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them! Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you... you may have touched their life in ways you will never know! (Author Unknown) QUOTE: "If you don't like the way things are going, change your perspective.' (Eva Gregory)


Could this turn out to be a toxic situation?
I am dating this guy, we met earlier this month. He is fantastic for the most part. He wants to hang out all the time, and we talk and text all the time. He is very attentive and is already telling me how special i am to him, and how much he cares about me and you know it feels good. Even if we don't hang out for two days he's already telling me he misses me. I came out of a loveless relationship so this kind of attention feels really good. So now on the bad side...i'm getting weird feelings from him. How do i put this....he has got a very dark sense of humor, and is a little harsh sometimes, which i can deal with for the most part. But he'll get in these really high energy moods and he'll joke around and call me names like a f*cking c*nt. Or talk about keeping me in line, or for example i met his one of his family members last nigh brieflyt and i wasnt feeling very talkative, but i was very polite, said a few words. Then when they left he said...."jokingly" Thanks for f*cking humiliating me in front of my family member they're going to think i'm dating a f*cking mute". He laughed after wards, but he said it so seriously and it kind of embarrassed me. He also "pretends" he gets jealousy. Like he;ll ask me if exs were good kissers, or ask why i complimented my guy friends hair in front of him, and then say hes joking and trying to mock those jealous loser boy friends. But on the good side he asked me if he ever offends me because he can get offensive sometimes and he wants to make sure he doesnt hurt my feelings. I also see how he reacts when i return the little snippy comments and he laughs, so i mean its not one way, but being mean like that isnt really in my nature. So he CARES but it's starting to make me uncomfertable. I really really like him BTW and he sends me sweet texts that make me feel really good.

Does my crush have interest in me too or no?! I will answer yours... :)) ik its long.?
So..today this guy that i absolutely hate, and he hates me too, heard me talking on the bus with my friends. They were trying to figure out who i like. My friend said you told me you liked...........before..land i did..(and still do) but then i denied it. The thing is he said ohh you like him and then when he saw him and me he kept on pointing at him and looking at me and nodding. They guy just looked at him all confused..but he didn't look at me. Then at the end of the day i was telling this kid i hate that i don't like who he thinks i like (even though i do) Then he told me then who likes him..i came up with this girls name quickly...(which is bad i know) He was like omg and then he went to his locker which is next to mine..and my crush's too. He told him someone likes you..(and i was right there) he was like who?!? And he was like guess..and the guy was like its (and he said my name) Then i came in and told my crush No Its not!! and he just looked at me in the eyes..with no expression on his face.

And then he guessed someone else...(which is my friend) I told him no its not her she doesn't take choir and she thinks you hideous..and she does. And he just looked at me in the eyes again with no expression. Then the guy that i hate was like i will tell ya later..and then my crush went to his class. Then later at the end of the period..my crush was walking in the hallway and i saw him stare at me smiling.. not a grin but just a i saw on his face while walking and looking at me..and his friend was trying to talk to him..but he didn't do anything he just kept on walking while smiling and looking at me?? I denied that i like him..and i act like i don't..unless i do act like i like him on accident...do you think he thinks i like him, i dont want him telling his friends!! What does that mean..and b4 he did show signs he likes me but then we drifted apart and he started avoiding me..and he says he likes no1 and he is very popular and im average..but he's naturally nice so yea. And i played the jealousy game with him and lately he's been flirty around girls..starting only this week (with my friends) !! I think he may have moved on but liked me b4?!
