The Antidote to Fear
Fear rules our lives in so many ways and is responsible for so much of our internal misery. When confronted with fear our reaction is either to control the situation or to escape the situation. Both of these are unsatisfactory in the long run. We can’t control everything, and if we are always running, we never fully live and enjoy life. So what is the solution to fear?
The Short Answer
Surrender. This is the antidote to fear.
The Long Answer
Surrender. Choose Joy, Release Fear.
OK, so how do you do this? What does that mean?
When faced with something that you fear, instead of trying to fix and control it, or instead...

What to Do If You Don’t Feel Like Running
Consider not running.
That may not be the answer you were looking for…or maybe it is! Either way, if you are a regular runner and you feel yourself dreading your run each day, you may need a day or even a week break from running.
And here’s the good news: It will likely be good for you to take that break! Here’s why:
Mentally
Like other areas in our life, in our running we can get into a mental rut. Maybe you engage in negative self talk during your run. Maybe your running has become just one more task you must complete on your to-do list. Taking a 1 day, 1 week or whatever length break you need can gi...

Breaking Bad Habits
I’ve been working on breaking a bad habit that snuck up on me over time. The habit has two parts.
First: Chronic self-criticism, to the point of not even realizing it anymore.
Second: Making setbacks and challenges much bigger than they really are.
With each difficulty I would think something like
“Why does th...

Can You Be Productive and Enjoy It?

The Comedian’s Guide for Living Life to its Fullest
This is a guest post by Brook Bridge
At some point, and probably for everybody, we all have that sense that we aren’t doing anything worthwhile. We might get a promotion at work, spend time with our friends, make dinner, see a movie, have hobbies, and yet? It still feels as if something is missing.
My own epiphany that I’d been gliding through life without really experiencing came after I lost someone I really cared about. Suddenly, when the idea of my own mortality was impossible to ignore, I realized I needed to make my life better. I need to figure out how to live it fully, how to make it memorable, and how to spend...

Change Your Problems to Blessings
Does everything seem like a problem to you? Are you sick of it? I have a solution! Read on…
Change Your Problems
If something seems like a problem, you need to change what you are comparing it to.
If your situation seems like a problem, you are likely comparing it to something that is not possible now, impossible, or just unfair to the situation. You may also need some rest!
To turn your situation into a blessing you must look at your gifts in life, and compare the situation against something that could be worse.
Bad things happen, inconvenient things happen, life happens. It’s often messy and difficult. But y...

If you’re sick of getting sick with the flu or bad colds, I have some very good news. There are things you can do to prevent and fight the flu that are very effective. And some of them will likely be things you haven’t heard before.
Each person is different and as such you should only add supplements after checking with your doctor and WebMD to make sure it doesn’t interact with other medicines you take or conditions you have. These remedies are for adults. Check with your pediatrician for safely using any of these suggestions with children.

Have you ever become offended or felt hurt by something someone said to you even though deep down you know that the person didn’t mean to offend you? So why did it offend you or make you feel bad? It’s because you paired their comment with your own deeply rooted self-judgments.
