Don’t like to exercise? Try this simple, science-backed trick:

“Fartleks” — meaning “speed play” in Swedish — are an effective way to add intensity to activities, which a growing body of science indicates can make your workouts more beneficial.  Fartleks are an informal version of interval training. To start fartlek training, head outside, warm up for a few minutes at whatever activity you most enjoy — whether it’s walking, running, biking, unicycling or snowshoeing — and then pick a landmark a short distance ahead. It could be a tree, a colorful mailbox or an unusual rock formation. Pick up your pace until you reach it. Then, drop back to your original pace, let your heart rate and breathing slow, and look for another landmark. Vary the distance between these goals, and aim for perhaps 30 minutes of fartleks once a week to start.

"Everything is horrific and along side it is hope.

Everything is dark and along side it there is light.

The question becomes, “How do we cultivate a practice of noticing so that we can also speak into existence the things that are going right?”

When we have algorithms that are so tuned towards catastrophe, brains in fact that are so alarmous, such drama queens…

that we forget the practice of noticing beauty.

To rewire my brain and my heart is to speak aloud the things that I find beautiful.

And that gives me hope. There’s such a smorgasbord of beauty around us, and we often feel guilty in naming it, as if that detracts or cancels out the severity of what we’re facing. I don’t think it does. What the universe is always asking us to do is to become bilingual."

Volume Control: a guidebook for highly sensitive people in a loud & spiky world

by Jen Butler

BOULDER (activity)

Buddha's Five Remembrances, often recited in Buddhist practice, are reflections on the nature of life and human existence. They are:

1. I am of the nature to grow old.
2. Aging is unavoidable.
3. I am of the nature to experience illness.
4. Illness is unavoidable.
5. I am of the nature to die.
6. Death is unavoidable.
7. Everyone and everything I love will change,
8. and I will be separated from them.
9. My actions are my only true belongings.
10. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.
11. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

These remembrances serve as a reminder to live mindfully and ethically, accepting the impermanence of life.

Here's the Dan Harris podcast episode I learned about this from, and here is a simple image of them I made for my iPhone

A. The Sonder of Musings…

I originally came across the word "sonder" in the mesmorizing 10 minute video called SOULFULLY BEAUTIFUL from Reflections of LIfe (who I first learned about from Grateful Living: https://grateful.org). I then learned the term SONDER, defined as "the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it. The word was coined by John Koenig, who compiled a compendium of created words in the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and also created a short video just to unpack his special word Sonder.

B. Dementia is not a Death (Psyche.co article)

Dementia is not a death. For some, it marks a new beginning

2. Recognize that there is lots of both bad and good going on in the world.

3. When you’re struggling, focus more on the good so you can stay hopeful.

4. When you’re shining, focus enough on the bad stuff so you can identify opportunities to be part of the solution (or at least a smaller part of the problem).

Approach life advice not like immutable laws but rather like trying on clothes. Some advice will fit you well and flatter you. Other advice will not. Advice that may work great on one person may work terribly on the next. Pick and choose your advice to suit your personality and the occasion. Feel free to discard old advice any time it stops working for you.

"Ideas & Snippets" document/folder. The idea is that you have a single document (I use Evernote, but you could use any note taking app or even a word processing app like MS Word, Apple Pages, Google Docs, etc.) to create a single repository of all the links, articles, podcasts, and even random ideas you come up with. And then schedule time on your calendar (once a week? month? quarter?) to review the list and ponder, move info to relevant place, send to others, etc.

"I am not the sun at the center of anyone's solar system.

If I keep trying to put myself there, insisting that I am special and my life must have some sort of special meaning, I'll die in despair, or in delusion.

Once I understand that I'm not the sun, I can get out of the sun's way and stop casting shadows."

from On The Brink of Everything: Grace, Gravity, and Getting Old, by Parker Palmer

Meditation Apps

I looked at several "best meditation apps in 2023" and liked this list a lot:

https://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/g25178771/best-meditation-apps/

I'll add that I use Calm daily; there is a lot to like about Insight Timer and I still use that sometimes.

Ten Percent Happier Meditation is from Dan Harris, whose book "Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics" has helped lots of people find their way to mindfulness and meditation.

Several friends tell me they like Headspace and tends to get strong reviews for the number of options and the fun interface.

Daily Photo Cleanup: Open your photo app on your phone or laptop, and from a screen that displays all the photos enter today's date (month and day only: Feb 23) and sift through the photos taken on THIS particular day: reminisce, remove duplicates, and retain the extra precious ones. You'll miss some days, sure, but it's a great habit that will gradually reduce the size of your photo collection, and create a regular habit of gratitude and savoring!

Just for Now, by Danna Faulds (eyes closed?)


Just for now,
and without asking how,
let yourself sink into stillness.

Just for now,
lay down the weight
you so patiently bear upon your shoulders.

Feel the earth receive you,
and the infinite expanse of sky
grow even wider
as your awareness reaches up to meet it.

Just for now,
allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience. Breathe out whatever blocks you from the truth.

Just for now, be boundless, free,
awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet. Drink in the possibility of being
who and what you really are:

so fully alive
that when you open your eyes

the world looks different, newly born and vibrant,.

Just for now.

-Danna Faulds

THINGS I'M REMEMBERING

Five things really helping me right now:

1. PW: It's just a little thing

   CC: Little things add up: colander!

2.   PW: But, I already DID slow down!

   Inner Wise One: Slower, still.

3.   I don't like feeling this way.

   CC: There is value in not feeling good. Can you sit with it for a minute?

4.   PW: I don't know if I can handle it.

   CC: Uhm, you are handling it. You're here.

5.   PW: Once I get past this speed bump, then things should be better/smoother.

   Inner Wise One: There is no pain-free or problem-free life waiting for me, even though I deserve the idea of both.
