The Anatomy of Trust by Brene Brown

Brene Brown on Super Soul Sunday
Reliability
- be aware of your limitations, don’t over promise.
Accountability
Vault
- holding the confidences of others
Integrity
- choosing courage over comfort, choosing what’s right over what’s fast fun or easy, practicing your values, not just professing them.
Non-judgment
- when we assign value positively to when we or others need help
Generosity
- take whatever words I say in the most positive kind accepting manner. Learn to make generous positive assumptions about what others say or believe.
Common Enemy to Intimacy
- sharing negative gossip about others.
Self-trust
- Can you count on yourself?
“Follow your curiosity
- This is much easier than following your passion.
Curiosity is always gentle and available.“ – Elizabeth Gilbert

Blueprints for Awakening: Wisdom of the Masters

Blueprints for Awakening: Wisdom of the Masters looks interesting.

How to Tie Thai Fisherman Pants

Here. I didn’t find it obvious. Not that my ignorance says anything about the pants :).

Yoga Pants That Men Will Actually Wear

Men like wearing blue jeans or dress slacks. I do. Do they have them for Hatha Yoga? Probably not. I couldn’t find any. I found the next best thing: Thai Fisherman Pants.

Do Thai fisherman really wear these or not. It doesn’t matter because they work. They work fine for me. I can do Hatha in them. My test subjects: these and these. Not the worlds thickest material but it is still cotton and you can’t see through any of the areas that count. Good for you and everyone else in class.

Are they the same as the $100USD version? Probably not but I don’t care. I’ll worry about that later. You probably can too.

They cost less than $20USD. You don’t have to make any stressful commitments because you spent tons of money on your Yoga clothes. Why wait?

A Himalayan Institute Mission Membership

The Himalayan Institute Mission Membership shares everything that the Institute has got. Astounding. Lectures from Pandiji today and Swamiji from time ago. Workshops. You name it tons of great stuff. It is a way to participate in and mutually support this fine tradition.

A Yoga International Membership is Awesome

It is worth sharing.

The normal membership is free and it gives you limited access to tons of stuff. Great way to figure out whether you want to see more or not.

There is something for everyone from teachers to parents to you name it.

For example the classes on brain health and yoga for TBI recovery are awesome and you might want to watch them more than once :).

Denial is a Powerful Medicine

Denial is a powerful medicine. Maybe your friend is in denial and you don’t like it. Maybe you wanna have a straight talk with them to snap them out of it.

Don’t. Don’t.

When you walk away you just left them with two problems instead of one.

Accepting Your Limitations

I accept my limitations and I forgive myself for them

The First Twenty Four Hours of Recovery

Did you know you can use the first 24 hours after a traumatic or disturbing event to mitigate its long term effects on your mind and body? Here’s how to begin.

The Ultimate Meditation Hack

A lot of us meditators feel like we can’t get our feet off the ground when it comes to our meditative practice. Typically it goes something like this:

Meditate thirty minutes per day
For seven days
Then, never meditate again for six months
Finally, the beginning and try again

Actually, that is fine because practice is practice. There is an easier way though that I call the ultimate meditation hack.
