How to Overcome Your Fear of the Unknown

For many of us, uncertainty can be nerve-racking. That reaction, however, obscures a crucial fact: Uncertainty and possibility are two sides of the same coin.

Develop Your Spiritual Resources

Meditation: Why You Should Do It

Why anyone and everyone can benefit from a simple meditation practice. Take a moment. Breathe. Focus your mind. Slow down and read each word. Become aware of yourself reading this sentence, this paragraph. You, sitting there, focusing on each word, one by one. Become aware of each sound as it echoes in your mind, the one you’re hearing right now, and this one, and again and again and again. The voice in your mind reading this to you, is that you? If so, then who is doing the listening?

Forgiveness:

Your Health Depends on It

Whether it’s a simple spat with your spouse or long-held resentment toward a family member or friend, unresolved conflict can go deeper than you may realize—it may be affecting your physical health.

What is natural awareness

Awareness is a capacity of the human mind. As we ordinarily understand it, it’s the ability to directly know and to perceive, sense, feel, or be cognizant of experience

What Is the Meaning of Life?

To wonder too insistently what ‘the meaning of life‘ might be marks you out as being somewhat heavy, weird or just naïve. People nowadays often say – sometimes in a sad way, other times more aggressively and cynically – that ‘life just has no meaning.’ Here we want to argue as follows: to wonder about the meaning of life is an extremely important activity, life does have substantial meaning – and there are, in fact, a range of practical steps we can take to ensure we end up leading lives of maximal meaningfulness.

Is That All There Is?

There’s More To Life Than Revenue And Stock Prices

As leaders, we are tasked with running organizations, managing the big picture, which includes the numbers: revenue, growth, stock prices and more. And when we are successful, we are applauded. Most people appreciate what we do. But, if you are like many other leaders, you often wonder, “Is that all there is?”

The Meaning of Life Is Surprisingly Simple

People who believe that they know their life’s meaning enjoy greater well-being than those who don’t. One 2019 study found that agreeing with the statement “I have a philosophy of life that helps me understand who I am” was associated with fewer symptoms of depression and higher positive affect. Throwing up your hands and concluding that the question of the meaning of life is simply unanswerable—by you, at least—is the easy response. But you can make your quest for meaning manageable by breaking it down into three bite-size dimensions, and then considering each one in turn.

Can’t seem to meditate? 7 joyful activities for you to try instead

I don’t meditate. It’s a simple fact that often feels like a confession. After all, meditation is hailed as an almost magical cure in self-help circles, and the list of benefits it offers is undeniably impressive. Meditation promotes calm and compassion, decreases stress, and improves attention and concentration. Avid meditators won’t hesitate to point out, breathlessly, that it can actually change your brain. It is one of the most studied non-pharmacologic mental health interventions in the world, and most of the data is overwhelmingly positive. So why don’t I do it?

Feel like you’re lost or your life has gotten off track? How to begin again

I want you to stop reading for a second, close your eyes, and listen to the story going on in your head. It’s the story you tell others when you first meet them; it’s the story you tell yourself every day. It’s the story of who you are, where you came from, where you’re going. It’s the story of your life. What scientists have learned from a generation of brain research is: That story isn’t just part of you; it is you in a fundamental way. But there are questions that research hasn’t really answered. What happens when we misplace the plot of that story, when we get sidetracked by a pitfall, a pothole, a pandemic? What happens when we feel burned out and want a fresh start? What happens when our fairy tales go awry and we get lost? That’s what happened to my dad that year, to me around that same time, and to every one of us at one time or another: We get stuck in the woods and can’t get out. This time, though, I wanted to learn how to get unstuck.

The Other Side of Languishing Is Flourishing. Here’s How to Get There.

The malaise brought on by the pandemic can be cured. Here are seven study-backed tips that can help you feel better.
