Tea for the Body, Mind and Spirit?

My latest article for Life As A Human focuses on the zen practice of drinking tea:

That’s another reason to drink tea: it turns out it’s good for the body, mind and spirit. Tea has played a part in meditation and other spiritual rituals for eons.

Yup, tea doesn’t just nourish the body and treat its ailments; it also affects our mind and spirit through our moods, mindset and meditation.

Your Constant Companion

Barry passed this little gem of a riddle onto me about the constant companion we all have, who can be good or bad to hang around with.

I’ve seen it hold people back far too many times… but as the riddle tells you, this companion can also propel you forward:

GUESS WHO I AM….

I am your constant companion.

I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden.

I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.

I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do might just as well be turned over to me and I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed — you must merely be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great people and, alas, of all failures, as well.

Those who are great, I have made great.

Those who are failures, I have made failures.

I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine plus the intelligence of a person. You may run me for profit or run me for ruin — it makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with me, and I will place the world at your feet. Be easy with me and I will destroy you.

Who am I?

I’ll reveal the answer on this blog in a week… along with some tips on making it work for you instead of blocking your progress.

In the meantime, submit your guess as a comment on this post by clicking here.

Why do you keep telling people this…?

“I don’t have the time!”

Well, if you don’t, in theory, neither do I. You see, time is the one constant that all us human beings have. After all, we each have the same 86,400 seconds per day to do what we need, want, and have to do.

Somebody once said that life gives us only two things: opportunity and time. Now, when you think about the old adage, time is money, can you see how that really means that life gives us money?

If you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth, that might not seem right, but it really is. See, whenever you do something, or get something, you use up one or more of three resources: time, money or energy.

And really, since everything in the Universe is made up of energy at a quantum level, all three of those are energy. So let’s take energy out of the equation and say that you either use (spend) time or money. Always. Every second of the day. All 86,4000 of them.

In return, you get a certain level of value back (another form of energy). You can trade time for sleep (value), trade money for food (value), trade time and money for a date with someone special (value), and on and on.

Now, you know from high school physics class that energy can not be created or destroyed; it can only change forms. So when we say we make money” or “make time” for something, what it really means is that we’ve effectively turned one into the other… or another type of value into one… or one into more of the same.

Huh? If that’s about as clear as mud, just stick with me for a minute (see, I’m asking you to give me some of your time… and I’ll give you value in return, in the form of some thought-provoking information).

Lighting Up Your Life… Literally!

When it’s cloudy or rainy, people describe it as “dreary” or “miserable.”

It seems like giving our power away to let the weather affect our emotions. But in my newest article for the online magazine, Life As A Human, I report:

After a bit of digging, I got confirmation of the fact that light (and, by extension, weather) does indeed impact the way we feel.

Uncovering the Joys of Parenthood

How fulfilling is parenthood? How happy is it supposed to make you?

My latest article for the online magazine, Life As A Human, explores the research, myths and realities.

Some of that research says:

“numerous scholars have found some evidence that, on aggregate, parents often report statistically significantly lower levels of happiness (Alesina et al., 2004), life satisfaction (Di Tella et al., 2003), marital satisfaction (Twenge et al., 2003), and mental well-being (Clark & Oswald, 2002) compared with non-parents.”

What does that mean for you? Finish reading the article here: The Joys — And Disappointments — of Parenthood.

Running Outside Your Comfort Zone

My latest article for the online magazine Life As A Human reads, in part:

Isn’t it interesting that what starts out as a scary new situation soon becomes a new comfort zone? As we all grow and expand, so does our level of what’s comfortable (read: safe).

What’s your comfort zone… and how do you get out of it?

Watch Out for That GIRRRL in the Mirror

I’m also a regular contributor to the new online magazine, Life As A Human. In my latest article, I say:

In this case, that girl in the mirror is a trusted and perfectly matched opponent. I know she won’t hurt me, and I won’t hurt her. She can glare at me, and throw punches my way, but she only does it in reaction to what I do to her.

Sorting It Out: The Mind-Body Connection

I’m a regular contributor to the new online magazine, Life As A Human, and my column looks at mind-body-spirit health. In my latest article, I write:

It kind of reminds me of the way we humans treat illness. Sometimes it’s like we throw our symptoms at a doctor, the way Konan throws his shape sorter at me, and say, “What does it mean? What do I have? What do I do?” (our version of “Ahhh?!”)
