Pushing the Envelope on Health: Announcing A Raw Vegan Challenge

by

Raw Vegan DietIt’s not what you give up; it’s what you gain that counts!

Just for good measure, I will say it again: It is not about what you give up. It is all about what you gain.

That is how I have been able to take some of the bravest and greatest steps in my life without an ounce of regret anywhere. I am also willing to bet that when you have given things up in your life to take a step toward personal growth and self-evolution, you have been too busy focusing on what you gained to make time missing what you gave up. And today I am experimenting with that all over again with my raw vegan challenge and exploration of raw foods at the exclusion of all else.

Part 1: How to Recognize an Idea Worth Pursuing

Ideas into Action - and writing in the sand

This article is part of a 3-series. Go here for Part 2 and Part 3.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. Everyone has them. Things we should do; things we should stop doing. Or things we could be doing, creating, producing, changing, enhancing, trying, living, or just dreaming. It does not take a special person to think of ideas. Even little kiddies have ideas — mostly bad ones with consequence but they do have ideas.

Shake Up Your Routine

Shake up Your Routine

How often do you completely change the way you do something?

Actually, forget completely. How about partially? Even minimally?

Sometimes, you lose your grip on momentum for those smart habits and ingenious ways of living you had so meticulously planned.

And often times, it is not for lack of trying.

Because plans do not always follow the brilliant paths paved in your mind. Inconvenient as all get out but a fact of life.

You draw up the perfectly logical plan, fine-tune your motivation and re-fuel your inspiration to just the right level. You are ready to go. You know exactly what you want. You know exactly where you are headed. You have the right tools. You took the right classes. You listened to the right people. You adopted the new way of doing things and no one is going to stop you.

A Manifesto for Meditation

by

Meditation in BaliToo many mornings, I chose email over mediation, I chose twitter time over introspection time. Too many nights, I collapsed into deep sleep without taking a moment to quiet the mind and reflect on the day. Too many days in 2010, I chose impulsively rather than consciously.

I love doing – prolific living is the essence of a productive, rich, and creative life. But doing does not complete us without the being. [Read more…] about A Manifesto for Meditation
