Express Your Gratitude Continually
By | On Feb 23, 2011 | CommentsHow seldom we stop to do an inventory of that which we have been endowed. Although our standard of living is very high (by just about any measure) it’s easy to take it for granted. Regardless of how we’ve obtained it, we feel entitled to have it. You get accustomed to having it and it feels like you should have it forever. Fill up your gas tank these days and it’s tempting to whine about the high prices. But when you stop to realize how plentiful and cheap it is compared to other parts of the globe, you realize you’ve got nothing to grouse about. We are fortunate in so many ways, no matter how you slice it.
Maintain A Steady Pace
By | On Feb 23, 2011 | CommentsPeople have different approaches to getting work done. Some prefer to blast through the work at hand. Others take a careful, measured approach. Everyone brings their own style and personality to the task at hand. Ultimately, you should do what works best for you. As for big, long term projects, steadiness almost always
wins. We accomplish little of lasting value by coming out of the gate too quickly.
Feed Your Passion
By | On Feb 23, 2011 | CommentsWe all have a fire within us that burns brightest when we keep it stoked. All too often the fire that originates deep inside, and is sparked by experiences in our formative years, is left to smolder during adulthood as the practical considerations of life get in the way. You know, getting a job, having a family, buying a house, etc.
Learn Improved Breathing Techniques
By | On Dec 13, 2010 | CommentsThey can dramatically increase your energy. We can live without food for a few weeks (not recommended), and without water for a few days (ditto), but deprive yourself of oxygen for just a few short minutes and you may not live to talk about it. Oxygen is so vital to our health and well being that we owe it to ourselves to make a concerted effort to get better at utilizing it. In the past 24 hours you’ve taken as many as 20,000 breaths. Over a lifetime you inhale and exhale 100,000,000 times. That’s a whole lot of breathing, partner. Think about the ramifications. Imagine what a little “breathwork” could do to help your respiratory system function at more of its capacity.
