Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder
By
Richard LouvHave you noticed that a warm, sunny day in early Spring can bring out droves of people? After a long winter there is a strong urge to get outside. We've been cooped up in our homes and offices for months, away from the sun and the outdoors.

This craving for the outdoors and nature is referred to as biophilia (love of living things). Scientists have theorized that humans have a biological need to bond with and be close to other living systems, including: animals, plants, habitats, objects in nature and even the weather.

The term Nature Deficit Disorder was first coined by author Richard Louv in his book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder. He refers to the biophilia theory and suggests that many of our children are suffering as a result of the disconnect from nature created by our modern lifestyles.

A Tool for the Spirit

Journaling is a remarkable device for easing worry and obsession, for identifying hopes and fears and for allowing your creative self to expand, increasing your level of energy and confidence. It harnesses the power to tap into successively deeper layers of your subconscious mind while it zaps the nervous, passive energy that ties your stomach in knots and leads to more guilt and worry.

Journals are tools to help you discover the wisdom you already possess. Sometimes, this wisdom will surprise you. Other times, it will challenge you. Always, it will come directly from you, empowering you to trust yourself and to take action by giving you the deep-seated knowledge that you know more than you think you do.

Five Ways to Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude

Oprah Winfrey and Sarah Ban Breathnach, author of Simple Abundance, speak often of the importance of a Gratitude Journal, in which, at the end of each day, they record five things that they're grateful for.

Regardless of whether you record these items, spend some time each day to focus on the little things in your life that make each day special. Perhaps it's your child's toothless grin. A warm home. Delicious food enjoyed with family.

Thinking About Moving to a Small Town?

Are you thinking about moving to a small town or to the country? I am. In doing some research, I discovered some assumptions worth checking out. Many people move happily to small towns and are pleased; others are surprised and unhappy. If you do the research, you can avoid being in the latter group! Use your EQ to feel out the situation and make a good decision.

Seven Steps to
Making a Difference in an Indifferent World

We live in troubled times where our peace and safety are often in danger. Most feel helpless and unable to affect the unfolding events in our present world. And yet many are uniting their minds, energy and actions in order to create a peaceful and safe world with dignity for all.

Some groups work politically while others spiritually or socially. Some focus on the poor or refuges, others on human rights, some on the politicians themselves who seem to be making the decisions. During this period of our evolution, it is so important that each of us makes his or her personal statement through thoughts words and actions.

Ten Big Tips For Moving To A Small Town

Imagining Yourself Whole
Reclaiming the Key to
Your Creative Power

From bookstore and library shelves, in personal development seminars and continuing education classes, from websites on the internet, in commercials on television ... in many ways the invitation to improve your life, create work you love, build the relationship you long to have and make your dreams come true calls relentlessly for your attention.

Beneath it all are enticing messages about reclaiming personal power, owning knowledge, skills and talents that are your natural right, that you were born with, that you know how to use naturally and that in a kinder, saner world you would have been taught to use for your own benefit long ago.

Easy, Fun Ways to Feel Prosperous
When the Economy Screams 'Poverty!'

I would start this list with, "Stop watching the news!" but these days that is just about impossible.

Given this daily dosage of fear and poverty consciousness, I want to arm you with some easy, fun ways to guide yourself back to feeling and being prosperous.

The Sacred Heart of the World: Restoring Mystical Devotion to Our Spiritual Life
By
David Richo We all need space, we all need time to ourselves. Indeed, one little corner, a fraction of time that you allow yourself can do wonders to your being, to get in touch with your inner self and give expression to your faith. A space that allows you to reflect on your life, on your day, on what tomorrow may bring. A small place where you can shed a tear, or breathe a sigh of relief, quieten a troubled mind or savor a few victories.

It is a place to reflect and contemplate on what is important to you, to allow you to connect with your inner self, without interference, and in solitude. It could be as simple as a table top, a corner of the bedroom, a place just for you to enjoy few precious moments alone.

No, it does not require a whole room, or many hours. Is there a small table top, a spot on the dresser, an isolated corner, an idle spot that collects clutter and dust? If you are on the road a lot, would you not want to carry something to evoke that feeling of connectedness?

New Year's is traditionally a time for resolutions -- when we vow to live our lives better than we have in the past. Unfortunately, we treat our resolutions as wishes made on stars.

If you want to succeed with your resolutions, you need to attend to 7 basic steps. Follow these guidelines, and you will achieve your dreams.

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

When a farmer wants to eat oranges, he gets himself an orange seed, makes a hole in the ground and plants the seed. Once that is done he adds fertilizer to the ground, waters it regularly and ..., you guessed right, he waits!

However, in contrast, most people in the world, who want to eat oranges would go and buy them. They don't want seeds because that would mean they would have to wait. They would rather have an orange not after a year or two years, but here and now. However the only way you will get oranges that are ripe and ready to eat is if you buy them.

Create the Life of Your Dreams!

Courage & Calling: Embracing Your God-Given Potential
By
Gordon T. Smith Creating a dream-come-true life might sound like a fairy tale; however, it is possible if you go about it in the right way. It takes patience, determination, courage, and an extreme desire to succeed. If you really want to make life-altering changes, there are ten things you must do. Follow these suggestions, and you'll be well on your way to a total transformation.

1. Make yourself a priority in your own life.

If you aren't the star of your own life, then who is? Putting your needs on the backburner while you take care of everyone else is a surefire way to burn out fast. You can't transform your life if you don't make time for yourself, and you won't make time for yourself if you come last on your list. Decide now to treat yourself as well as, if not better than, you do others. Transformation takes time, effort, and the belief that you are worth it!
