Plus, I have to admit, sometimes you just can’t decide if you want to wear your hair up or down, so it’s a great option for that dilemma too!...
That led to a new career as a nationally recognized teacher of mindfulness meditation. Along the way, inspired by the work he’d done as an advisor to business leaders, Moffitt founded what’s now called the Institute of Change and Transition, where he and his team train individuals and groups how to tap into their personal values and make major transformations in their lives. I met up with Moffitt recently at his office in Belvedere, California, to discuss the art of reinventing your life from the inside out....
In this video from the PBS science series BrainCraft, creator and host Vanessa Hill explains where jealousy comes from and what we can do to work with this difficult emotion. Why Do I Feel So Jealous? Jealousy often arises when we sense a threat to a relationship, says Hill. As children, we grow jealous of our siblings when they gain our parent’s attention. As adults, we may feel jealous of a new person who captures the interest of our friend or partner....
Do you enjoy being alone? What do you do when you’re by yourself that you wouldn’t do with company? “Raid the fridge and watch trashy TV.” “Talk to myself.” “Kayak.” “Work in my garden and flower beds, walk my dogs, and play with my cats.” “Most of my work is solitary.” “I meditate, do yoga, and curl up to read a great book.” “Cook something wonderful and eat it!” “Wear only my underwear....

What’s your ideal sleeping situation? 64% chose a king-size bed in a luxury hotel, 20% chose the soft sand on the beach, a warm breeze rocking them to sleep (warning: grit in bad places), 10% could sleep on a bed of rocks if they had to, and 6% were adventurous, choosing a tent in the wilderness....

I’m talkin’ no cell phone, no Wi-Fi alone. When was the last time you were by yourself and didn’t try to sweeten, avoid, or supercharge the moment? Were you fearful, anxious, or hungry for something more? We are awash in studies telling us that we need each other to survive and to be happy. And it’s true, we do. But when we lose the ability to be alone with ourselves, our overstimulated nervous systems suffer from no place to rest and recharge....
It’s time once again for our favorite year-end ritual here at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center: Our annual list of the top scientific insights produced by the study of happiness, altruism, mindfulness, gratitude—what we call “the science of a meaningful life.” We found that this year, the science of a meaningful life yielded many new insights about the relationship between our inner and outer lives. Cultivating mindfulness can make us more aware of knee-jerk prejudice against people who are different from us; believing that empathy is a skill helps overcome barriers to taking another person’s perspective; concern for others, even for animals, can move people to action for the greater good more quickly than focusing on ourselves....
I used to very much be a maximalist when it came to packing. This year, I took a different approach.

I picked up a package of these metallic hair ties in a small boutique on the Cape after my one and only hair tie snapped as I was throwing my hair up into a bun before the beach....

The secret is to wash your hair less often and grit your teeth through the transition time while your scalp adjusts. Then you can come out the other side with hair that has been trained to last longer between washes. If you have tried and failed to train your hair in the past, this is the perfect time to try again. Training your hair before the weather gets too warm will allow you to enter the hotter seasons with hair that’s used to putting up with extra greasiness....
But we don’t tend to be rational about these matters. Instead, not only do we suffer, we feel isolated and alone in our suffering. When we remember that pain is part of the shared human experience, however, every moment of suffering is transformed into a moment of connection with others. The pain I feel in difficult times is the same pain you feel in difficult times. The circumstances are different, the degree of pain is different, but the basic experience of human suffering is the same....

This meditation helps you open up, so you can choose whether to engage in a habitual action or simply stay with your feelings....
