Review of a site giving you advice on good habits-Zen habits

Posted by youlki22 on August 14, 2007

I was really impressed by reading whole story of the blogger, and the purpose behind creating this wite. Mainly this blog covers variety of topics including “achieving goals, productivity, being organized, GTD, motivation, eliminating debt, saving, getting a flat stomach, eating healthy, simplifying, living frugal, parenting, happiness, and successfully implementing good habits”.

I could notice a very important fact that the articles on the blog are not only informative ones, but these articles reveal the real life of the blogger, as he first implemented these good habits to achieve goals in life.

About the blogger:

Well in this story he tells himself that he is not a doctor, not a speaker, writer, coach or consultant. He is a freelance writer, father of six kids. His story begins from December 2005 when he began to make changes in his life. Some of the achievements I quote here:

• Quit smoking (on Nov. 18, 2005). Really the change that set all the other changes in motion. Quitting smoking taught me a lot about changing habits and accomplishing goals, and all the elements needed to make this successful. I had tried and failed to quit smoking before, and when I was successful this time, I analyzed it and learned from it and was inspired by my success. Success can breed success, if you take advantage of it.
• Became a runner. In order to relieve stress without smoking, I took up running. I started out by running about half a mile, heavily winded after doing so. I slowly built up my distance and within a month was running my first 5K. Soon after, I was so into running that I decided to run my first marathon.
• Ran a marathon. About a year after I started running, I completed my first marathon. I didn’t do it very fast, but I did it. It had always been one of my lifetime goals, and completing it was one of the very best things I’ve ever done. I hope to run many more, and recommend it to everyone.
• Began waking early. In order to get my running in, I decided to start waking early. I did it slowly, and once I began waking early, I began to discover the joys of the quiet morning hours. I get so much more done in the morning — not work, but working on my goals.
• Became organized. In early 2006, I discovered GTD. It was like waking up after a long sleep. I learned how to keep my files in order, how to stay on top of my paperwork, to be organized at home and work. I’m not perfect, but I’m much, much improved over how I was before.

• Began eating healthy. As a runner, and someone with the goal of losing weight, I decided I needed to eat healthier. I began cutting back on unhealthy things like fried and salty and sweet foods. I ate leaner poultry and fish, more fruits and veggies, more whole grains. It felt great!
For whole story: My story

I give a big hand to blogger (I could not get his name) and suggest my readers to visit his site, if you are also a learner from life.

Review of an interesting and inspirational site “The truth campaign”

Posted by youlki22 on August 13, 2007

I was truly inspired while browsing the site “The truth campaign“, because at this commercial age, every form of media is loaded with propaganda, ads, and campaigns. But it is very hard to find out where lies the truth, as in our fast growing, competetive life we don’t have time to search about the facts behind the load of information bombard at us.

Most of the time when I search for information at the net, most of the sources provide you what you want, but there is always some kind of business behind it. I was amazed that this site is not run for profit, and not politically or religiously aligned.
Purpose of the site:

“As human beings we have an infinite capacity for Love and Creation, but only when presented with the complete picture and all the facts - THE TRUTH - can we make the best choices required for our spiritual evolution. The SEARCH for Truth is the purpose of the Truth Campaign.”

What site does:

* To promote freedom of thought and expression of the individual’s unique creativity by providing, and networking hard to get and suppressed information about essential issues such as: health and disease, conspiracies, new science and technology, alternative views and the so-called ‘paranormal’ etc.
* To promote truth in all aspects of life in the recognition that information is a basic human right and that secrecy and the withholding of information promotes stagnation and corruption among the greedy and power-hungry.

Site was created in 1996 by Ivan Fraser.

Ivan Fraser is an ex-registered nurse with experience in hands-on healing, and now full time researcher into hidden and suppressed knowledge. He has appeared on radio and television talking on the subjects presented by the Truth Campaign.

The site is about their magazine which is published 4 times a year, but you can still get a lot of links to other similar kind of sites and many articles taken from the “Truth magazine”
Articles
A wonderful article at site:
Love Changes Everything
