Change Your Entire Life With This Simple Technique From Thich Nhat Hanh. It’s Kind Of Amazing! get elephant's newsletter To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh I was visiting a friend in New York City this past weekend as we discussed various elements of all things spiritual. Discussion of teachers, techniques, paths and so forth culminated into some personal and candid sharing with one another. As I went to sleep in my friends cozy guest bed, I reflected on those dark times and how truly transformative the following technique taught by Thich Nhat Hanh has been in turning my life around. It’s extremely simple and can be done anytime, anywhere and in virtually any circumstance. The following is my translation and is not verbatim. So with that being said, I’ve broken it down to seven simple steps for you. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Through bringing our attention to the image of our painful thoughts and emotions, and tending to it with an open heart, we’re doing the most natural thing we can—expressing love. So that’s the practice.
Tough Choices: The Science Behind Making The Right Call Our lives are filled with one decision after another. Many are trivial but every now and then, a biggie comes along, one where you just know that you’re about to irreversibly shape your own future. The bad news is our decision-making is hampered by the fog of human irrationality. Phone a friend. We’re hopeless at predicting how future circumstances will affect us emotionally – this is what psychologists call “affective forecasting.” If you want to know how you’ll feel if you take a given path, research suggests you should acknowledge your own biases and find out how a friend or neighbor felt after they made the same decision that you are considering. Don’t assume you “know” how things are going to turn out. Be your own devil’s advocate. Psychologists call this process “dialectical bootstrapping” and studies have shown that it can improve a single person’s judgments by encouraging broad-minded thinking and a consideration of all the facts. Squash your biases. Stop thinking about it.
10 EPIC Quotes from “Conversations With God” “Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue” by Neal Walsh is one of my favorite books of all time, hands down. It is written from the point of view of god (but it’s not religion, so don’t scoff quite yet) telling man how he should live his life. I like to think of it as god’s hypothetical edits to the incredibly skewed, modern interpretation of the ‘The Bible.’ 1“Go ahead an do what you really love to do! 2“You are making a mockery of Me. 3“There is no coincidence, and nothing happens ‘by accident.’ 4“The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.” 5“The laws are very simple: 1. 6“Heaven–as you call it–is nowhere. 7“Know and understand that there will be challenges and difficult times. 8“If you want guarantees in life, then you don’t want life. 9“To live your life without expectation–without the need for specific results–that is freedom. 10“Never resist anything.

20 Things I Wish I’d Known at 20 - Mighty Girl A couple weeks ago, in my letter to 20-year-old me, I was congratulating myself on not having been photographed topless. A few days later, I realized that wasn’t strictly true. My roommate Jen Rector was a photographer, and she took a whole book of very reserved pinups. I’m amazed that I lived in an apartment with a photographer and a full bar and we still only managed to do 1940s-style damage. It’s a testimony to how cautious I was, which is a shame because your early twenties is a great time to revel in stupidity. When you’re young; you don’t have to make smart decisions to make sound decisions. These are a few of the lessons I wish I’d started learning a little earlier. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.

Study a person character using his/her body Language in almost any situation Here are some great techniques to Read Body Language to Reveal the Underlying Truth in Almost Any Situation. You've likely heard that body language accounts for up to 55% of how we communicate, but reading non-verbal cues isn't just about broad strokes. The same gesture can indicate a number of different things depending on context. In this post, we're going to take a look at three common situations in which non-verbal cues are especially important—detecting lies, going on a date, and interviewing for a job—then explain how to interpret body language more accurately so that you can read between the lines when a person's words aren't necessarily conveying the way that they honestly feel. We lie a lot. When having a conversation with a stranger, chances are we'll lie in the first ten minutes. First, the basics. Body Language Basics When you're reading body language, your primary goal is to determine whether or not a person is comfortable in their current situation. Positive body language:
You’ve Got Plenty Of Time Yes, you do. I’ve caught myself whispering this in my own ears frequently during the last few days. And it worked. It worked because it is true, despite how everything seems to indicate just the opposite. Let me explain. I am currently in the process of moving and it is amazing to see what little, seemingly unimportant things can trigger stress. I want my new place to be finished as soon as possible. I don’t remember where I read this, or if I made it up myself, but it was something along the lines of ‘the common denominator of stress is the felt experience of not having enough time‘. The more we worry about time, the more time is lost to worrying.Tweet Every single time I got annoyed that something wasn’t going as intended, the will I enforced upon the world seemed to be futile; I felt rushed and powerless. Why? But, I did! Yet, in the midst of this big task I selectively forgot that this was the case. This perspective changed the way I felt immediately.
