*bellaMUMMA {life is beauty-full}: 100 ways to UNCOMPLICATE YOUR LIFE I 'STUMBLED UPON' THIS POST AT 'LIVE THE CHARMED LIFE' AND I LOVED IT SO MUCH, I JUST HAD TO SHARE IT! It begins... You see, when we’re born we see the world in an uncomplicated way. We know what we need, and we ask for it. We like nice people, and we don’t like mean people. As we grow older, we eat and drink to console ourselves, rather than addressing what’s bothering us. Here are 100 ways to uncomplicate it... 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 34. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 56. 58. 59. 60. 61. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 96. 97. 98. 100.

:zenhabits 100 Ways to Simplify Your Life (and Make Yourself Happier) I’ve been striving to simplify my life for many years now, and have recently (through my writing) been advising others how to do the same. In the process, I’ve learned that making little changes in our attitudes, habits, and environment can have a big impact. So today, I thought I’d compile a list of 100 ways to simplify your life – from the practical to the philosophical, and everything in between. Of course, not every item on the list will work for every person reading it. AROUND THE HOUSE1. WARDROBE AND STYLE21. KITCHEN AND DINING36. OFFICE AND TECH46. TIME MANAGEMENT66. ATTITUDE81.

Wildmind Buddhist Meditation - Learn Meditation Online The Thirteen Mindfulness Trainings The Thirteen Mindfulness Trainings form the moral guidelines to develop harmony in any simple community. One of the essential elements of the Mindfulness Trainings is that they are directly applied in our daily lives. Every moment of our lives gives us the chance to put them into practice. The idea is to recite the Mindfulness Trainings regularly so that we can review our behaviour and observe where we have not lived up to our aspirations. Understanding (prajna), concentration (samadhi) and Mindfulness Trainings or ethics (sila) are the threefold trainings that the Buddha passed on to his lay students. The encounter between Eastern philosophies and the West is bringing us something very exciting, very important. The Thirteen Mindfulness Trainings comes from different sources. Tiep and Hien are Vietnamese words of Chinese origin. Tiep means “to be in touch.” Hien means “the present time.” It is important to remember the four faults by the word:

7 Vital Choices for Happy Relationships | Tiny Buddha: Wisdom Quotes, Letting Go, Letting Happiness In - StumbleUpon “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” ~Lao Tzu Ten years ago I thought I was going to marry my college sweetheart and become a young bride, which made it all the more devastating when happily ever after didn’t pan out. When we broke up, I felt literally like I lost a limb, complete with phantom sensations of his hand in mine. It didn’t take long for a dark guilt to bubble up—a constant festering reminder of all the mistakes I’d made. In the ruins of that romance, I didn’t know what scared me more: that someone else might hurt me again or that I might hurt them enough first to deserve it. I simultaneously felt an aching need to fill in the hole where he’d been and an overwhelming sense of nausea at the thought of being with someone else. In each case, I either burdened the guy with a body bag full of my fears and insecurities, or dragged it around myself wondering why dating felt so exhausting. 1. Take it off the page: 2. 3. 4. 5.

8 relationship myths that might surprise you | MNN - Mother Nature Network - StumbleUpon There are hundreds of myths about relationships, according to Terri Orbuch, Ph.D, a Michigan clinical psychologist and author of "5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage from Good to Great" (Delacorte Press, 2009). The problem with persistent myths is that they can erode a relationship's happiness, she said. When you think a relationship should be a certain way, and yours isn't, frustration sets in. And "frustration is the number one thing that eats away at a relationship," Orbuch said, and "it's directly tied to these myths." That's why it's so critical to bust the below misconceptions. 1. Fact: "The strongest most enduring relationships take lots of hard work," said Lisa Blum, Psy.D, a clinical psychologist in Pasadena and Los Angeles, who specializes in emotionally focused therapy with couples. She likened a healthy relationship to a good garden. But how do you know if you're working too hard on a relationship? 2. 3. Daily routines are one of the culprits, Blum said. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Truths That Men Have About Women As promised, like I mentioning in my earlier post on what truths women have about men, this post will be about the truths men have about women. Such as: I look at and am attracted to other women. Everyday.I will never tell you the full details of my past relationship.I sometimes enjoy hanging with my friends more than I do with you.I don’t really know if I’m happy in this relationship or not. So stop asking.I love sex. More than you will ever know.I care about how you look. The ‘men’ list is shorter than the ‘women’ one simply because men think about these things less than women (or maybe men have less to hide in a world where mainly women are pressured to be perfect).

Interactive The World of Seven Billion The map shows population density; the brightest points are the highest densities. Each country is colored according to its average annual gross national income per capita, using categories established by the World Bank (see key below).
