“Wag more. Bark less.”
Bumpersticker wisdom I saw for the second time yesterday.
And, in general, damn good advice, says he who probably growls, whines and bares his teeth far, far too much.
Over the decades of mind-body research, multiple studies have observed the many physical, emotional and social benefits of behaviors that can be summarized essentially as “wag more; bark less.”
Well-done scientific studies have looked at things like full-hearted laughter, loving attitudes, smiling. And the science is this: Laugh more, love more, smile more and the world laughs, loves and smiles more with you.
Who wouldn’t want that?
So, wag more. Bark less.
Because when you get down to the nitty gritty, wagging is nothing more than a delighfully engaging way of expressing a full-body smile.

Here’s a magical question that changes EVERYTHING! Practice asking it of yourself throughout your day.
Especially ask it when feeling overwhelm, upset, frustration, and so forth. The question:
How would you like to feel right now?
Put it in the first person form, of course. That is:
How would I like to feel right now?
And be perfectly honest — and really, really sure of your answer.
And then: (more…)

Passing on this urgent call to action from Cathy Zoi:
Dear ken winston,
Friday is the last day to voice your opinion on whether the EPA -- the Environmental Protection Agency -- should regulate carbon dioxide pollution, the primary cause of the climate crisis. This is a big deal.
The EPA is taking public comment, before making a ruling.
Of course, special interests -- like the oil and coal lobbies -- are working overtime to defeat a positive ruling and have already gotten thousands of comments submitted in opposition.
Most people don't know about this opportunity for public comment, so your voice can make a real difference. And with a new president in the White House, it's likely that someone will actually be listening. Submit your public comment to the EPA here:
http://www.RepowerAmerica.org/EPA
In April 2007 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide if it is harming our health and welfare. After more than a year of delay, the EPA is finally now requesting public comments on whether carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping pollutants are endangering our health and our climate.
Join us, and send a message about how crucial it is to reduce harmful carbon dioxide pollution. That you expect the EPA to (more...)

Reliable, detailed monographs on medicinal herbs are available free, online, from the North Carolina Consortium on Natural Medicines.
They come in three flavors:
1. For health professionals.
2. For everyone else.
3. For growers.
You can access any of them.
They are limited to herbs that can be grown in North Carolina — so you won’t find an extensive list of medicinal herbs here. But the information you will find is very thorough and well vetted.
Find them here: (more…)

Want to lose 20 pounds in the next 30 days?
Make your diet boring. Boring and simple, says Tim Ferris, best-selling author of The Four-Hour Workweek.
That doesn’t mean no variety or tasteless meals, Ferris explains.
He provides four simple rules for losing weight quickly, while building muscle, and — exercise is NOT one of them. (Click the link below to see all four rules — and the exact diet he is using.)
The rules look nutritionally sound. And they are based on results from scientific studies.
Why make your diet boring? Because it’s easier to follow that way, he says.
“The most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat loss, eat the same few meals over and over again,” he writes in a blog post at (more…)

I’m doing a study of charisma.
Would you help me because I need a wide variety of input and
opinion?
Just two questions:
1. Who are the 4, 5 or 12 most charismatic people you can think
of? (Anyone living or dead; famous or not.)
2. For each person you name, what 1, 2 or 3 key traits contribute
most to your perception of that person as charismatic?
Please respond by clicking on the word ‘Comments’ or the phrase ‘leave a response’ highlighted just below.
