What Your Thoughts May Be Telling You
Thinking brings up a powerful body-mind response. Whether you are thinking about the past or the future, what you are seeing in your mind's eye is imaginary. Yet your body is responding as if the event is happening in real time. Let's do a quick experiment: Close your eyes and breathe in and out deeply, clearing your mind. Now, think about some freshly baked bread. Can you smell it? Now, imagine you feel an insect... (posted by Amanda J 308 days 23 hours ago.)

Your Self Improvement Mirror: Where to Start in Personal Development and Self Help
The call to action Mahatma Gandhi put forth when he said, "Be the change you want to see in the world" is inspiring and uplifting, but how do we actually do it? Does it mean that we need to change our entire life and become a peace activist like Gandhi? Or are smaller actions equally as valid to be counted among being the change? How each person decides to be that change... (posted by Amanda J 310 days 8 hours ago.)

Thoughts: The Real Reality TV?
The 'reality' that we live in is made up of many different parts. There is the physical environment that surrounds us, the people we interact with, the relationships we have with those people and our environment, and of course there is ourselves. The emotions we feel when we respond to other people or our surroundings colours our reality. Our body and how it interacts with our environment, such... (posted by Amanda J 315 days 22 hours ago.)

Living a Life of Purpose: Making a Difference with a Fulfilling Life
How does this statement make you feel: at the end of the day, we are all going to make an impact on the world, whether we want to or not. Do we have any influence over what that impact will be? Of course! We have control over every decision, action and thought every moment we are alive. How we make our decisions, carry out our actions, and the quality of our thoughts are what...

Get Grounded: How to Center and Ground Yourself
Have you ever finished doing something and realized that while it normally takes you twenty minutes, today it took you two hours? For some reason you could not stay focused on the task; you ended up getting sidetracked about ten times for no particular reason. Perhaps you feel like the world has started spinning faster and you might fly off? Maybe you have so much going on each day that when you get into... (posted by Amanda J 318 days 5 hours ago.)

How often I'd walk a mile for this.
I'd walk a mile for a hot fudge, caramel sundae. In today's world of focusing on improved health and fitness, how can I walk a mile for something that I know is so bad for me? The more important question is this: when would I walk a mile for said sundae? Would I walk that mile every day? Nope. Every week? Nope again. Once a month? Hmm...I might consider it. Once a quarter? Possibly. Once a year? Probably. A long... (posted by Amanda J 318 days 6 hours ago.)
