Have you ever tried to heal yourself from body pain? If so, you know how difficult it is. I suffer from chronic sacral pain, and I can tell you it isn’t easy. Research suggests that mindfulness meditation can help reduce pain intensity and unpleasantness by actually changing the structure of our brain. And it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Maybe We Need More Lazy
In one of the many letters he wrote to his son in the 1740s, Lord Chesterfield offered the following advice: There is time enough for everything, in the course of the day, if you do but one thing at once; but there is not time enough in the year, if you will do two things at a time.

Do You Bully Yourself?
It might sound like this... I hate myself! Why do I always say stupid stuff? I am so fat! I am ugly! I’m lazy! What’s wrong with me? No one likes/loves me. I am not worthy of good things. I should be a better spouse/parent/friend. Own Worst Critic Sound familiar? I bet we have all engaged in this type of behavior against ourselves at some point in our lives. Sometimes it depends on the day. Sometimes we look in the mirror and hate everything about ourselves. We can … [Read more...] about Do You Bully Yourself?
