It's the end of the year and, for many of us, that means we have a few New Year's resolutions. They might be exercising more often, eating healthier food, spending less time on Facebook and Instagram, or finally starting that meditation practice. But here's the problem. Resolutions quickly fade. By the time February or March comes, we can easily forget all those well-intentioned resolutions. Habits, on the other hand, are sticky. The reason? Habits are automatic. We don't have to think about doing them. They just sort of happen, operating in the background of everyday life. So the key to makin ..read more

Discover Seven Minute Mindfulness
By Greg Thurston
Creator of Seven Minute Mindfulness
"Mindfulness" is a bit of a buzzword right now, but that doesn't mean that you should discredit it. Being mindful is one of the best things you can do for your body and mind!

This is sort of a follow up to a post I wrote in August of 2017. I was born at the very end of the 60's, the Summer of 69 to be exact. A time of transition I'm told from the days of peace and love hippie movement to the Funk of the 70's, LOL.
This past week I have been re-reading a really great book about Jarvis Jay Masters, A Buddhist on Death Row. A lot more on that great book to come in the near future. If you haven't purchased it yet, I highly recommend it.
So in this book, one of the many lessons Mr. Masters learns is about learning to watch his mind and freeing it from ..read more
