Zen Commuter

The internet is a crazy place, people see something online in more than one place and they believe it wholeheartedly. Take "Don't break the Chain" for instance.  Everything online swears that DBTC is the brainchild of Jerry Seinfeld.  With all due respect to Jerry Seinfeld, the idea and practice of marking things off on a calendar to denote their completion was probably not his.  Regardless of who thought of it, Dont break the chain is a great idea.

Today, I talk about this productivity tip with the help of an article by Ann Kroeker.  It is the perfect way to engrain a habit.

Even if you are not a huge reader, this book is a great read. It manages to be a simple yet profound read for helping each of us work with more focus and intention.  

Our culture makes pariahs out of those who choose to spend some of their time alone.  The fervent need to couple, either romantically or through friendship, is pushed in all aspects of media and marketing. However, those who are unable to find peace with themselves rerely find it anywhere else.

We are real good at weighing the pros and cons of many decisions.  What we aren't so good at is choosing the right selection despite all the intention and data. 

Today I talk about the reasons why you make decisions that don't serve you and how to start making ones that do.

For me, and I would imagine most ZEN commuters, growth is a goal; to become better each day. However, as much as many people want to grow, either spiritually, physically and mentally, it appears that many things get in the way.  It is important to point out though that is the most predominant outcome for the majority of the world.  They get swept up in other people's demands and end up as directionless as a leaf in a river.

To grow everyday, you need to make conscious decisions to stick to your goal.  You have to be resolute in not letting anyone or anything keep you from what you need to do.

Such is the case for all the ingredients that I am sharing with you each day.  Take today for  example, you will not become better if you choose to think the same thoughts each day.  to become better you must encourage yourself to seek out new ideas constantly.  Today I talk about how I do that.

• How the word "why" encourages you to think
• The Importance of reading
• How knowing more makes you more useful to the world

It is no secret that I am a huge believer in the power of meditation.  Heck, I teach people how to become mindful, how to meditate.  Today though I am not going to go over the benefits of meditation.  There is an episode that talks about that very thing; probably more than one of I think about it.  

Since meditation is one of the ingredients for a perfect day it seemed necessary to talk about it this week.  However, I do know that not everyone knows how to meditate so I have come up with non-meditative practices that help you achieve the same goals as meditation.  The best thing is that the methods I discuss don't require any specialized training.

• The process of deep breathing
