Seth's Blog Are You An Armchair Creative? I’m from Britain, so the rules of American football are a mystery to me. But even I know “armchair quarterback” is not a compliment. It means someone who sits on the sidelines, watching and criticizing instead of doing.As creative professionals, we pride ourselves on doing — making ideas happen — instead of passively consuming, like the couch potatoes with their remote controls. But there comes a point where leaning further forward won’t get you much further. In my office there are two chairs: my swivel office chair in front of the desk; and the comfy armchair by the window, flanked by my bookshelf and the stereo. But the thing is, the time I spend in the armchair is usually some of the most creative and productive time in my whole week. The armchair takes me into a different space, where my mind can drift and I can see the big picture of the projects I’m working on, notice the patterns that emerge and my gut feeling about the best way forward. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Journeys A key part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience is the leadership journey, a coordinated series of activities grouped around a theme. Each journey is tied to some of Girl Scouts' 15 national outcomes for girls. These outcomes are integral to the three leadership keys : Discover, Connect, and Take Action. Journeys provide "sample sessions" to give girls and volunteers ideas about sequencing experiences, discussions, and earning awards so that the "whole" feels like one big adventure. The journey will be much more fun and relevant as girls make it their own! Coming Soon! Journey Awards In a Girl Scout journey, awards link experiences, discussions and ideas that girls explore together. All the steps girls take toward earning awards are built right into the journey.
Five Ways to Become Happier Today | Tal Ben-Shahar Transcript Question: What can people do each day to be happier?

They are the psychopaths and the dead. So if we experience painful emotions at time, it's actually a good sign. Question: Are there specific things people can do? Tal Ben-Shahar: Then I think -- yeah. Physical exercise contributes a great deal to happiness; in fact, there is research showing that regular exercise, three times a week for 30 to 40 minutes of aerobic exercise, could be jogging or walking or aerobics or dancing, three times a week of 30 to 40 minutes of exercise is equivalent to some of our most powerful psychiatric drugs in dealing with depression or sadness or anxiety.
