The Pause Upon Which All Else Relies
by Leo
9 Feb 2012 at 8:56am
Post written by Leo Babauta. There is one little habit I’ve learned that has changed everything else in my life. The pause. When we fail, it’s because we act on urges without thinking, without realizing it. We have the urge to eat junk, and we do it. We have the urge to check email instead [...]

Post written by Leo Babauta. I’ve trained for marathons, triathlons, 10Ks, a 13.5-hour challenge, Ubanathlons, and more. But my favorite fitness program isn’t one where you train for a major event. It’s where you get fit by a thousand little actions. When the actions are tiny, they are easy. You have no excuse. You can [...]

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
by Leo
23 Jan 2012 at 11:26am
‘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, [...]

by Leo
17 Jan 2012 at 1:49pm
‘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 [...]
Life as a Conscious Practice

‘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 Leo

Post written by Leo Babauta. Every January, people rush out and get a gym membership, set a list of goals or resolutions, and get ready to take on a new year of frenetic activity. Unfortunately, we don’t often clear space to make room for all this new stuff. The beginning of the year is a [...]


Secrets Of Happy Relationships

Here is your Thursday STORY on: ADAPTING TO CHANGE: Some change is forced upon you. Without doubt this is the change you may fear most, and justifiably so. But there is an answer. The answer is trust. You must trust your ability to adapt. Allow yourself to wallow in sadness for a while, perhaps a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks depending on the circumstances. Then time itself will help you adapt to change. (Allow me to excuse one change. If you are faced with bereavement, then this is a change that few can expect. My advice would be to accept counselling from all; that means both the authorities and your family and friends. Cherish the happy memories and allow time to help heal the emptiness). Imagine your very first love, and I beg forgiveness for those who still live their first love, but at the moment the relationship ceases, you'd had thought that the world would end. Your friends and family would have given the appropriate support. For every 5 plus factors in a relationship, there are normally one or two factors that you struggle with. Breaking up from your first love is a big learning process, not that you could see that at the time. Every subsequent relationship is built on a better fundamentals; and so therefore... should every other aspect of your life. Just a little trust and both small and big changes will not become so fearful. The next story confirms if any suspicion exists, that events happen for a reason. Adapting to change following such an event will be done from strength and not from fear and weakness. A DONKEY, A ROOSTER AND A LAMP Rabbi Moshe took a trip to a strange land. He took a donkey, a rooster, and a lamp. Since he was a Jew, he was refused hospitality in the village inns, so he decided to sleep in the woods. He lit his lamp to study the holy books before going to sleep, but a fierce wind came up, knocking over the lamp and breaking it. The rabbi decided to turn in, saying, "All that God does, he does well." During the night some wild animals came along and drove away the rooster and thieves stole the donkey. Moshe wake up, saw the loss, but still proclaimed easily, "All that God does, he does well." The rabbi then went back to the village where he was refused lodging, only to learn that enemy soldiers had invaded it during the night and killed all the inhabitants. He also learned that these soldiers had travelled through the same part of the woods where he lay asleep. Had his lamp not been broken he would have been discovered. Had not the rooster been chased, it would have crowed, giving him away. Had not the donkey been stolen, it would have brayed. So once more Rabbi Moshe declared, "All that God does, he does well!" (Author Unknown) QUOTE: 'Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strength. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is your strength.' (Arnold Schwartzenegger, Actor)
