Mind & Spirit

Disinformation works because it has qualities that make it stick in your mind.

I recently read an article on depression being rife in our aged care facilities. The article went on to say how medical researchers found that aged care workers working in the facility were unaware as to the extent that it was happening and that even elderly people are coving it up as they are somewhat embarrassed, feel that it is a part of getting older (which psychologically it is not) and did not want to cause a fuss.

What is it that makes us tell lies?

Expressing your emotions can reduce feelings of fear.

Time flies when you have fun and know we know exactly why.

It’s a fact that the right amount of stress can be healthy. But when good stress turns bad, it’s good to know where you can find stress relief.

People need an apology to truly forgive, even more than they need restitution.

The most famous practitioner of inner-smile meditation is Grand Master Mantak Chia, who operates from the Tao Gardens Resort in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Chia teaches the Universal Healing Tao, a self-help system for curing illness and stress and for enhancing all aspects of life.

Awe inspiring experiences can affect your decision making and general wellbeing.

Willpower, like any muscle of the body, responds to stimuli. Just as bicep curls increase the strength of the biceps, exercising your willpower will result in it becoming stronger. The more you practice self-discipline and control, the easier these behaviours will become, and the less likely you will be to self-sabotage your efforts.

It seems that eyes do not reveal whether a person is lying or telling the truth.

You know what respect means? …it means happiness.
