The membership is a monthly subscription of $19.99, but really it’s a commitment to changing your life, and the tools needed to [...]
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. 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 [...]

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.

Stress

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.)


Why does my cat nurse on my fuzzy woolrich blanket?
She sucks on it. She always does it when she's about to go to sleep. Could she be stressed (if cats can get stressed)

Medical School Admissions and Disciplinary Record?
I will apply to medical schools in the near future, but I received a minor disciplinary sanction during my undergrad years. Below is a explanation of what happened. "During junior year of college, I would frequently vent my emotions openly on Facebook when I was frustrated or stressed out. I posted Facebook statements that exposed my raw feelings, and many people were concerned about my wellbeing. A dean became aware of these statements, and to help me manage my stress and express my emotions healthfully, she referred me to counseling and required me to maintain a therapeutic relationship with a clinician. Initially, I didn?t take full advantage of this valuable service, and my wellbeing didn?t improve much. At the end of junior year, I slept through a counseling appointment and didn?t reschedule on a timely basis. Consequently, I was found responsible for ?failure to comply? with the university directive that I actively engage with counseling. I received a disciplinary warning for this violation. I took full responsibilities and began to interact more proactively with counseling. As a result, I learned how to effectively manage my stress and greatly improved my emotional health. I also realized that while it is legal to say certain things on Facebook, some statements will invariably cause concern and trigger a response. From this experience, I became a more mature, sensitive, and amiable person." I am asking, will this hurt my chances? Most have been telling me that it wont be anything more than a minor road bump. Thanks!

How can you love someone but not trust them after they haven't done anything to you?
Ive been in a relationship for about 7 months. Me and my lover fell for eachother the moment we met. They had a rough past with people cheating on them though. It's like, I dont know what to do anymore or how to prove myself to them. I'm not a cheater, and I have never cheated on anyone. Im the type of person that will leave if im unhappy instead of hurting you. They work and go to school so we don't realy have a lot of time for eachother. We flirt, talk, say we love eachother and are always caked up. But, whenever I tell them I have to call them back. They ask me "WHY??" Then I have to tell them im going to eat or, whatever else im doing. After I eat, I clean the kitchen. I stay with my mom right now because she got hurt on a job and now she'd on cruches. So I help her out. Maybe a hour would past and my lover would call me tripping out, "WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?? WHY DIDNT YOU CALL BACK! FORGET IT, IM OVER YOU!" Then when I explain I had to clean the kitchen and help my mom in the bed, it's like, they automatically think im acting shady. I don;t want to be in one of those relationships where I have to tell my lover where im at at all times. Then I asked them did they want to skype tonight, and they said yea. But I told them I had to clean the kitchen first before I do that. Then I helped my mom get ready for bed, and then I get a text saying, "FORGET IT! I DONT WANT TO SKYPE ANYMORE! IM GOING TO BED! GOODNIGHT!" I tried to explain to them what I had to do and they didnt want to hear it. Then I just told them if they want to leave then im not going to stop them. I;m not stressing myself out over this. I love you but, if you dont trust me then you can go. Then I left it at that. Then they called me and said, 'SO WHO IS IT?? WHO ARE U TALKING TO??" At this point im just fed up. I dont know what to do, advice please!!
