It took me several years to fully understand meditation, but once I did, I realized that it is actually quite simple. In fact, it is so simple that I can teach it in less than an hour. In this article, I’ll cover the “what, why, and how” of mindfulness meditation in its simplest form, so you don’t have to spend years trying to figure it out like I did....

Originating in Southern Asia, traditionally, turmeric root (usually dried and cooked and turned into powder) has been used as a spice for dishes in the traditional cuisine, fabric or food coloring aid, and for medical purposes due to its anti-inflammatory effect and great aid in curing bruises, blood in the urine and toothache. With numerous clinical trials testing its active compound curcumin, turmeric has now been proven to improve brain health, cardiovascular health and tissue health....

What would your response be? This is a question that requires some deep reflection, and it is about the end goal of your life. It is fine to have career goals, financial goals, travel goals, and all that. But to make meaning out of life, there has to be an ultimate goal – a definite purpose around which every other thing revolves. Let’s start with a couple of end goal examples of some of the highly successful people....

Either way, moving out is an exhilarating but painstaking experience. Not only do you have to be ultra careful and pack everything that is important, you also have to be super organized and make optimum use of space. Then again, there’s the headache that comes with mislabelled boxes, poorly packed items and disorganized packaging. Plus, you have to make arrangements for everything that isn’t fitting in or have to be left behind....

The station had been stripped down to the basics in a recent ownership change; no posters taped to the windows for coffee, donuts or some hotdog special, no newspaper racks or ATM signs outside— nothing. The only adornment on the entire building was a large yellow banner with red lettering that said, “UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.” The place was clean and newly painted, but in this case, clean came off as barren....

According to a survey, about 40 percent of mothers are not satisfied with the gift they receive from their love one which translate as 40 percent of the people who buy a gift for their mom on mother’s day often waste money in purchasing things that aren’t valued or appreciated by mothers. This article will expose you to some typical gifts people always buy for their mom on mother’s day without actually helping their mom sustain the gift....

Here I sit, many months later, working hard to fully integrate GTD into my daily life. I’ll admit, it isn’t easy (a notion exemplified by sites like the GTD Mastery 100 and the countless blogs) and can take a good deal of investment. Part of me wishes I had a better idea what I was in for before diving glassy-eyed into the pool of kool-aid. So, with that in mind, I came up with my own list of things I wish I’d known about GTD before I got started (not that I would’ve decided any differently – I’d still be doing it because it’s a fantastic system):...

The Problem of Indecision All of us experience difficulty with making decisions at some point or another. We doubt our abilities and question whether we are making the right choice. An endless procession of what-if questions fill our minds, and sometimes staying stuck in indecision seems safer than making a decision at all. Yet, there are simple ways to become a more confident and efficient decision maker. You Will Never Be 100% Sure When we are making a big decision that will greatly affect our future, we tend to want to be 100% sure that our choice is the “right one....

Let me get you some mind-blowing facts to enlighten you a bit today – The Different Shapes of Poops And What They Mean To You!

By using your difficult situations to refine your desires, the Law of Attraction can then help bring your desires directly to you. Using “Contrast” To Manifest Your Desires The secret to manifesting when facing contrast is to simply acknowledge the contrast. The other secret is to not get caught up in feelings of unworthiness. And also to not take responsibility for what the situation means about you as a person....

Think of confidence as a crude instinct for guessing when you’re going to succeed or fail. It’s exceedingly stupid and makes decisions based entirely on whatever comes to mind first. I call mine Paris Hilton: Paris exists for good reason. Humans evolved in dark and dangerous times. An argument with your tribal leader could get you killed. Being rejected by an influential guy / girl could make you unmateable. Unchecked, your actions could end you....

Features Of Drone Cameras A typical drone camera set is composed of a video capturing camera and a photo snapping one. The cameras have varying capture resolutions with the best quality being a 4K resolution for videos. They also have image stabilization software to make sure that the images captured in the midst of shaky winds are clear enough. The most recent release of a high-resolution drone camera was by the video camera maker company- GoPro....

More than once I noticed that people are eager to define their goals and then just rush towards their accomplishments. Taking action can be a good thing. But what if you’re running in the wrong direction? If you’re not aware of the motivation behind your goals chances are pretty high that you will be chasing your own tail. Achieving one goal after the other, but never feeling satisfied. Does that sound familiar to you?...

Lynn Lyons was the speaker and I highly recommend her book Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents. The evening contained some neuroscience, some personal stories and some practical applications but my biggest take away was this simple sentence: Pretty bold words but shatteringly true. Science has not been able to discover an anxiety gene. What it has discovered is a pattern of anxiety that is somehow passed down from one generation to the next....

While these are mostly true, rural areas around the world have plenty of benefits that some folks fail to acknowledge. Whenever the topic of moving or living there arises, they would usually worry about education, healthcare, and culture. This is especially true for those who want to start a family. Millennials, in particular, have been known to move away from rural areas to urban landscapes. This exodus is mainly driven by the need for further education, employment opportunities, and personal motivations (i....

It’s only natural that two individuals who are in an intimate relationship together, both with their own needs and aspirations, make decisions in life that will affect their partner. Everyone is on their own journey, but when you are in a committed relationship, that journey starts to intersect and life choices are made in synchronicity with that significant other. Often, the pressure to define a relationship or reach particular milestones comes from outside the relationship....
