A couple months ago I posted about a push up challenge, and at the risk of pushing this blog into a self-help section, I'm going to post something else that I really enjoy that I think might help a reader or two (all two of you!).
Lifehacker.com currently runs what it calls "Mid-Week Meditations," which is a short story on some piece of ancient wisdom. Oooohhhhhhh, its ancient. Just so you know, I'm not one to fall for the whole "ancient" is best meme.
But this is legit good stuff. They take a quote or concept from a philosopher in the past - think Marcus Aurelius - translate what the sometimes mumbo jumboish phrase means, and then kind of detail how you can apply it.
This week, its all about how to train your mind for constructive thinking.
One thing I love about the series is that it doesn't dress up the knowledge too much. It doesn't make it out to be more than it is, or suggest that its great simply because some Greek guy said it 2,000 years ago. Nor does Lifehacker pretend the advice is a cure all - or easy. Instead, it takes what is smart suggestions, and how we can apply it today, in our lives.
Some others I have enjoyed:
On walks and walking.
On change
Check it out!
