I’m not sure if this means anything, or if it does, what it does. But it sure is cool. Behold Le Grand Content, a video comment on the pathetic reduction of human thought to bullet points that will fit in Powerpoint. Is this what we’ve become? Or is this, in fact, everything? :: :: :: :: […]

painless protein

We’re not huge Atkins fans ’round these parts, but we do know that protein is critical for good nutrition, having simultaneously swelled up and slowed down during our own ramen-based days (weeks, months, whatever). Now science is providing some pretty compelling reasons to think about subbing in some protein/carb foods for the carb-heavy foods you might be chowing […]

worrying 101

April 25, 2007

Here’s a nifty suggestion I stole from Self magazine, November 2004. Worriers spend a great deal of time worrying throughout the day, often re-worrying the same worry they’ve already worried earlier. This is inevitable, but exhausting and unproductive as well as rather dull. Suzanne C. Segerstrom PhD of the University of Kentucky, Lexington, suggests that every […]

affirmations for health

Let’s be honest: affirmations are foofy, West Coast mantras that make people nervous. But they just might work. Give them a go and see if they work for you, foofy or not. After all, your bathroom mirror won’t tell on you. Recite the affirmation that you prefer to yourself in the mirror each morning, before you’ve […]

Read the last post. Does this remind you of you? It’s critical to define the changes we want to make in our lives and in ourselves before embarking on the journey of change. The goals may indeed shift while we’re working towards them and become more self-aware, but without a direction to move, we can […]

beginning

Here are some quotes contributed by timethief and defrostindoors in the WordPress.com forums. They all relate to the power inherent in beginning an action, which we can all attest is often the single most difficult time. Inertia is safe in that it’s predictable, but if we were exactly where we wanted to be, we wouldn’t be on […]

Here is Part Two of The Momo Zone‘s three part series of videos on personal empowerment and manifestation. The first, which you can find here, is on determining what really matters to you and what you need to get there. It’s an interesting video, dealing with themes of entitlement, guilt, responsibility, and empowerment, in a […]
