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 [...]

‘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, [...]

‘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. [...]

Post written by Leo Babauta. So you’ve been putting off tackling your clutter for months, maybe even years. Papers pile up on a counter, shelves are crammed full of books and magazines and other things, closets are stuffed to the point of spillage, clothes pile up on the floor or furniture, boxes and furniture and [...]

by guest
5 Jan 2012 at 9:15am
Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Jeff Goins of Goins, Writer. This new year, do something different: stop setting goals. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, then making resolutions for another year is a sure-fire way to drive yourself crazy.

Relationships

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.)

Middle School relationships?
Why are 11-13 year old middle school kids so eager to start "dating"? They want it to be serious as well. As if they don't have to ask their parents for rides, or pay for everything. What's the point in junior high relationships? None of them last very long anyway, and a lot of them are for social status, because kids seem to think it's "cool" to have a girlfriend.
