How Self-Reflection Can Help You Heal Deep Inner Wounds My friend came over the other day and started playfully teasing me about my Instagram stories. I laughed along until he said, "You're like a different person. That's not even who you are." Oof. I was sick to my stomach. For the next few hours my mind was playing on a loop: Why does he think he has a right to judge me? I wanted to prove that I am simply who I am. Most of us fixate on things that feel bad. The emotions we don't or can't process get stored in the body. These small criticisms used to sit with me for weeks, sometimes longer. The first step is to become aware that your mind is validating a false belief. In my case, I was allowing someone else's opinion about me to validate the idea that there was something fundamentally wrong with me, that I'm unlovable. Deep down, I believe I am a fraud. The mind craves understanding, but it's not always necessary. I am lovable. Let it go. I know, I know—letting go can seem really abstract when you haven't practiced it.

She Was Called The World's Ugliest Woman, Now She's An Inspiration by Kase Wickman 3/17/2015 Imagine you’re 17 years old. You’re surfing the web, procrastinating. Except, in all likelihood, when you click a video plainly titled “THE WORLD’S UGLIEST WOMAN,” you won’t see your own face looking back at you. This is what happened to Lizzie Velasquez, now 26 years old. While she’s been bullied by forces seen and unseen — cruel playground taunts, strangers sneering on the sidewalk, commenters on that YouTube video telling her to do unspeakable things and calling her unrepeatable names — instead of retreating into herself, Velasquez has taken full ownership of her own story and turned it into a force for good. Embedded from www.youtube.com. And now, at this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival, Velasquez took yet another step forward in her personal journey with the debut of “A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story.” Embedded from www.youtube.com. “I get a lot of it still from my TED Talk, actually,” she said. “I would absolutely say thank you,” she said.

"The Healing Power of a #Meditation Group" #healing #love #mindfulness By Charles A. Francis Helping other people on their spiritual journey is one of the most prominent qualities of an enlightened person. When you begin to see your interconnectedness with the rest of humanity, you will see the suffering in other people, and your compassion for them will naturally grow. One of the ways we can help others is by starting a meditation group. A Meditation Group Can Transform Lives While many of us enjoy meditating alone, meditating with others can enhance our spiritual growth significantly. Spiritual support: There is a synergy that takes place when people meditate together. Avoiding Some of the Pitfalls While starting a meditation group is easy, keeping it growing and thriving can be more of a challenge. Most groups start out with good intentions. What I generally suggest is that you commit to one form of meditation. Exclusivity is another issue to be aware of. The starter kit is based on the 12 Steps of the Mindfulness Meditation Practice.

Start With Stress According to the American Psychological Association (APA), stress is a top health concern, and many psychologists say that if we don’t learn healthy ways to manage that stress now, it could have serious long-term health implications. The United Nations International Labor Organization seconds the APA, now defining stress as a “global epidemic”. Indeed, we now spend more time than ever before trying to manage what for many appears unmanageable. The problem is that stress, like risk, does not follow any predictable pattern. A recent study asked participants to list tasks that took a certain amount of time, and then envision themselves completing those tasks. These findings are supported by a survey completed for the U.S. And that is the problem that stress management presents: we are trying to anticipate things that cannot be anticipated, and in doing so, we are wrestling with competing demands. But let’s consider the problem another way.

The 7 Best Blog Posts on Overcoming FearPick the Brain | Motivation and Self Improvement As we approach Halloween, surrounded by the machinations of fright, the emotion of fear is conjured up in our psyche. There is a voice that babbles on inside our mind, often times stopping us dead in our tracks. This voice is fear. On the one hand it serves as a biochemical response to the danger of life or death threats, allowing us a visceral insight into our prehistoric past. Tiny Buddha’s blog gives 9 concise steps to follow on the path to overcoming fear. This blog post from IQ Matrix helps one define what fear means to us personally, by examining the progression of our own experiences from early childhood to the present. Henri’s blog has a wonderful article on overcoming fear for those really ready to tackle it in a step by step way.

Ten ways talking in English baffles Swedes A Viking - sometimes pronounced 'Wiking', in Sweden. Photo: Shutterstock While Swedes were recently ranked the world's best non-native English speakers, there are a few common - and often charming - mistakes The Local's team has spotted while chatting to them in their second language. 1. Sheep shoes We absolutely adore how ‘ch’ often becomes ‘sh’ in Swedish, but it sometimes baffles us. Sheep and children. 2. Those Swedish Vikings may have braved rough waters and conquered distant lands – but one thing their descendants haven't all managed to do is distinguish between the English letters ‘v’ and ‘w’. We cannot independently verify the authenticity of the Vikings in this photo. 3. The difference between letters 'y' and 'j' may not be as apparent to the native Swedish speaker as it is for those of us for whom English is our mother tongue. Yoolery, also known as jewelery. 4. As opposed to restaurant. What Swedes might refer to as a 'restaurang'. 5. No, not the planet. 6. One foot, two feet.

How to Practice the Art of Being Present I’ve often experimented with ways to weave mindfulness practice into the speed and hubbub of daily life. The premise is simple: mindfulness meets the moment, the result is being present, and that can’t be bad. It also has the benefit of undermining that recurring thought “shouldn’t I be setting aside some more time for my mindfulness practice?” Bringing mindfulness to the activities we already choose to include in our lives is a great way to start. When we bring mindfulness into our daily routines (dishes, laundry, eating) what we’re doing is bringing a bit more focus to each moment. For example, when washing the dishes is just part of “cleaning up the kitchen,” it makes it harder to be with that one moment fully. I especially like the practice of bringing mindfulness into a daily routine when that routine includes other people, like having lunch or holding a meeting. When I’m ready for a bigger challenge, I play with bringing my awareness to those times when I get triggered. Routines.
