How to Start a Gratitude Practice and Change Your Life “When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” -Lao Tzu Somewhere in the distant past, out here in New Zealand, I recall someone saying to me “Be grateful for small mercies.” Back in the 1950s, when I was a small girl, that meant being grateful for the simple things that made up the better part of my life. As I grew, I forgot that piece of advice that someone, probably my beautiful grandmother, gave me way back then. Like so many people in the world in 2010, troubles were crowding in on me. My American same-sex partner and I had not been able to see each other for over a year, due to both the usual constraints—American immigration law does not recognize our relationship—and the not so usual – the recession, joblessness, bankruptcy, and threatened foreclosure on our American home. In July my father died in New Zealand and it was at that point I threw in the towel. At that moment I fired off an email to the great love of my life in New York. And so we did. 1. 2.
Burn-out : un court métrage qui invite à s’accrocher à ses rêves Proposé par une équipe de l’école des Gobelins, le court-métrage d’animation Burn-out déborde de positivité et de sagesse.

Au fil de la conversation, Stella réalise qu’elle n’a en rien réalisé ses rêves en grandissant. Ce court métrage d’animation touchant nous invite à réfléchir sur notre situation actuelle.

The REAL Death Of The Music Industry What’s On Your Gratitude List Today? We all know how focusing on the things that we’re grateful for can turn around a negative mood but have you made this a daily practice? I started my own version of this years ago in the form of The 10/10 Exercise. Each day I write at least ten things for which I’m grateful. I try to write about ten different things each day so the practice doesn’t become a rote exercise and to ensure that I notice more of the wonderful people and things in my life. After putting myself into a great mood writing about things I’m grateful for, I follow it by writing at least ten things that I want to attract into my life. These can be things I want to accomplish that day or week or bigger picture outcomes that may take longer. Today I thought I would share with you some of the many things that have appeared in my gratitude list. Be grateful if you have eyes to see these things, a nose to smell them, ears to hear them, a mouth to taste them, hands to touch them and a heart to feel them. The smell of a puppy

What Are Affirmations and How to Use Them By Remez Sasson What Are Affirmations Affirmations are sentences aimed to affect the conscious and the subconscious mind. The words composing the affirmation, automatically and involuntarily, bring up related mental images into the mind, which could inspire, energize and motivate. Repeating affirmations, and the resultant mental images, affect the subconscious mind, which in turn, influences the behavior, habits, actions and reactions. What Affirmations Do? They motivate. When and How to Repeat Affirmations 1) Devote some special times during the day for repeating them. 2) Repeat them wherever you are, and whenever you want and have the time. Before starting, ask yourself whether you really want to get what you want to affirm for. Affirm with love, faith, feeling and interest, and feel and believe that your desire has already been fulfilled. Examples Affirmations for success: It is easy and simple to achieve success. Affirmations for happiness: I am letting happiness manifest in my life.

He is best known for his annual trip around the world in which he breaks into homes to leave toys built by slaves.&&(na Just The Facts Santa was based on St. The Original Jolly Fat Man The legend of Santa can be traced back to St. The modern image of Santa was solidified in the pages of history by Thomas Nast, a famous cartoonist who seemed to have a thing for drawing fat men. Oh, we see where he got the fat man thing. In modern times, traditions and customs involving Santa vary from culture to culture. The Santa Proof Many attempts have been made to disprove Santa through science, most probably because physicists need pure children's tears for experimentation. Now do you believe in Santa? These complaints, while commanding a deep understanding of the physical world show a neglectful-at-best understanding of Santology.
