Jill Bolte Taylor’s stroke of insight
Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity, few brain scientists would wish for:
She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions, motion, speech, self-awareness, shut down one by one.
Since then Jill has become a powerful voice for brain recovery.
An astonishing story.
We have all tried it. Otherwise we probably will. Having that feeling, that the world is crashing down on us and everything is against us.
Not a very nice feeling, but unfortunately we can’t run away from the fact, that life is both good and bad.
There is a saying, that trouble comes in bunches. And once you think it can’t get any worse, something else happens.
It is a great talent to be able to take a step back, and see the big picture. But sometimes the big picture is just too much, and the result is, that we can’t find our way out of all the problems, and get paralysed. In such a situation, it is better to just see things one thing at a time.
Let me tell you a story. Read more…

No Band Aids
I read a book that told me I can do, have and be whatever I wanted. That all I had to do was think positively. So I tried it. I thought positively. I modified my negative thoughts and dramatic reactions. I told myself the negativity wasn’t productive and no good could come of it. Read more…

In other words, the Noble Eightfold Path, is our path from suffering.

Karma (The Law of Cause and Effect)
Sanskrit; Pāli: kamma. kárma, kárman = act, action, performance.
Everyone have heard the expression, “What you sow is what you reap.” Whether you like it or not, everything that is happening at this moment, is a result of the choices you’ve made in the past. Unfortunately, many of the choices we have taken through life are made unconsciously, and therefore we don’t think they are choices. Read more…

Fear is a basic survival mechanism, that is programmed into our brain for our own protection. This programming make us avoid and escape danger, when we are in a potential dangerous situation. In fact, fear is our friend, but it can be a little too protective sometimes. Warning us of danger’s that are not really there or blow a potential small danger totally out of proportions.

Body language is used as non-verbal communication, and it is well known, that the body language is affected by your mood. This is how you can show your environment (consciously or unconsciously), how you really feel. When we are in a bad mood, we tend to change our body pose, facial expressions, use different gestures, and eye movements. The changes depends on the mood we are in.
But many doesn’t know, that it also works the other way around. That the body language also can help you determine you mood. Read more…

On different pages of this blog, you will find a couple of quotes that fits the subject at hand. A collection of “life laws” with one single purpose. To help reach the level of happiness we all dream about. These quotes have been made into wallpapers, and can be downloaded at will.
You can use these wallpapers on your computer, as little reminders to everyday way of thinking, and if you choose to, you can also use them as your screensaver.
To use these wallpapers as your screensaver, simply put all the wallpapers into your photos folder. Then go to your screensaver settings and choose, that your computer must show your photos from your photos folder instead of an installed screensaver.
I can only recommend to use the wallpapers as screensavers as well, as we need to hear things several times, before it is really stuck in our brain.
Using the wallpapers as a screensaver, helps you remember.
Download all wallpapers from this blog here. More wallpapers will be uploaded in time.
