That's our internal environment. And the environment that surrounds us -- air, soil, water and ecosystems -- is equally important for our health and the health and well being of others.It is so important that we do our due diligence in helping nature to thrive, however we can. As young people looking towards the future, we can all take responsibility for our planet and environment, making sure that That starts with taking care of the environment so that future generations will be able to enjoy the benefits in years to come.Stand up for what you care forOne of the most difficult things for people to do is to stand up for their beliefs and what they care for. Sticking up for what you believe in and care for builds your self-respect because you're following through with your values.When you stand up for what you believe in, you are your own person. You are in charge of what you do. Stand up for what you believe in and care for, even if it means standing by yourself. Because even if you are standing alone, you'll know for a fact that it was your choice.Fight for what you believe in and care for because if you don’t stand up for them, who will?Try and try againTrying again is important since failures are a part of life and if we stop after failure we allow ourself to accept defeat. We should grow stronger with failure. With determination and perseverance we must keep trying to achieve what we want in life.Trying takes commitment and an intention to give the best of yourself to something without necessarily knowing the outcome. Focus on what can be learnt from a failure and hace a better chance of success the next time around.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

But the truth is, mistakes can be like gifts. Mistakes teach us the importance of staying humble. We learn that we are only human and that mistakes are inevitable. Without making mistakes, we would stay in our comfort zone, which leads us to inflexibility when things don’t work the way we want them to.Avoid judgingJudging a person does not define who they are, it defines who you are.Regardless of the reason, we don't have a right to judge anyone. The least amount of judging we can do, the better off we are. We need to learn to love and accept each other no matter what. When you show people that you accept them and are not judging them it makes them feel so good about themselves.When we stop being judgmental, we start appreciating people and things for what they are; we start living in the present moment and we can simply enjoy life and be happy. So, judge less, accept more, and restore your happiness.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

For the first year, she stayed inside her home trying to get better, and wanted to be the perfect patient. When this did not work, she decided to look into what trees, shrubs, and grass can do for her. When she applied what she found to her own situation, it worked. Then she found the research that was too good not to share.In her book, Take Back Your Outside Mindset: Live Longer, Prevent Dementia, and Control Chronic Illness, Verla shares her findings on exposure to trees, shrubs, plants, and grass as a powerful remedy. With simple directed activities, Verla takes you through the science of improving your health using the great outdoors. If you like alternative approaches, scientific evidence, and naturally occurring free resources, then you’ll love Verla’s liberating book.She also started a podcast called Your Outside Mindset for her to help people recognize that spending time outside is not just a nice thing to do, but it could also save your life.

Besides boosting happiness, positive emotion, and kindness, exposure to nature may also have physical and mental health benefits. Nature helps us cope with pain. Just a walk in the woods or a stroll by the beach on a sunny morning can awaken the innermost feelings of happiness and peace. Time in nature or viewing nature scenes provides a breathing space for our overactive minds, refreshing us moving forward.Staying close to nature, observing all the little and significant elements of it, and appreciating it from the very core, is therapeutic and self-healing.Even by saying and doing nothing, we can learn so much from connecting to our natural surroundings. It gives us the perspective for healthier living, the motivation to carry on, and the energy to keep trying.BooksTry a free Audible trial of any book here (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Free-Trial-Digital-Membership/dp/B00OPA2XFG?tag=samharris48%E2%80%9321)Take Back Your Outside Mindset: Live Longer, Prevent Dementia, and Control Your Chronic Illness (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Take-Back-Your-Outside-Mindset/dp/B083Q4VTX4/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+outside+mindset&qid=1596008309&s=audible&sr=1-1)After a devastating diagnosis, Verlas shares her passion for better living by spending time with trees, being one with nature, and breathing fresh air are the recommended recipes for physical, mental and spiritual healing.

Wake yourself up and reassure yourself that you’re not just here to go through the motions. You’re here for a purpose! If you keep doing things the same way you always have, you will easily find things to be meaningless or even depressing. To feed your creativity, you have to step out and try new things.Don’t be afraid of new experiences. Don’t live your life with regrets. Push your comfort zone and try new things. A better version of yourself starts at the edge of your comfort zone.Be coachableTo be coachable means to lack arrogance and defensiveness and you check your pride and ego at the door. It means you don’t judge your coaches approach but try and adapt to it. When you allow someone to coach you, you allow that person to contribute to the situation, problem or decisions you need to face. It means you allow their point of view to shape the choices you make and actions you take.The best professionals at all levels require coaching to improve and they know it.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

Therefore, we often don’t value the precious benefits of slow growth.We now expect that nearly everything should happen fast and with little or no inconvenience that we forget that slow, imperfect progress is better than none at all. Slow growth can be confusing and frustrating, but, at the end, growth is always good - no matter how slow you progress.Resiliency is key for startupsEntrepreneurship is obviously challenging. To be successful in building your business, you must be resilient. Building a business, managing employees, expanding customer or client bases, developing products and services – these are all the types of responsibilities that can eat away at a founder’s mental and emotional fortitude.Don’t let the threat of failure stop you; instead, be motivated to find solutions and advance toward your goal.

125: How to do relationships - Jonathan Aslay - Relationships coach and author - 'What the heck is self love anyway'

Jonathon AslayThe focus of one of America's Leading Mid-Life Dating Coaches has expanded into a deeper, essential philosophy of what it truly means to LOVE.After losing his 19-year-old son Connor in 2018, Jonathon Aslay’s grief led him on a soul-searching inner journey, where he became aware of an often-overlooked dimension of the dating conversation.Jonathon realized that the process of dating reveals the most common emotional health issue faced by many singles seeking a partner: a distressing lack of self-worth, self-regard, and self-love.Today, Jonathon is on a mission of encouraging both men and women to fully love themselves with a new book, "What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway?"—packed with fun, engaging spiritual and personal growth practices—his dynamic Mid-Life Love Mastery mentorship program, that inspires hundreds of people daily, around the world, and his new podcast, What Would Love Do?Jonathon and What the Heck is Self-Love Anyway?What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway?

This is the smartest investment you would make. You are your most important source of welath, not your business, not your boss, nobody but you. The best way to achieve a better quality life, to be successful, productive, and satisfied is to prioritize on investing in both personal and professional growth.Self-care is a non-negotiable. Investing in self-care is essential because it creates the environment and habits that help you be your best self. Investing in yourself - mind, body and spirit - not only shapes the way you interact with the outside world, it often reflects the opinion you have of yourself.A large part of your future is determined by your willingness and ability to invest in yourself now.

Failing forward means learning from our setbacks and making the necessary adjustments to move on and succeed. The faster and harder you fail, the less afraid you are of it because you have come out on the other side of it and are usually stronger and better equipped for it.Failing is just part of the journey and a step toward figuring things out. It’s not the end of the world if you fail at something. It just means that you're willing enough to do something new. Use failure as an opportunity to be better.Take actionYour life would be better if you took the action you’ve been avoiding - showing your interest in that girl. Actually making a habit of getting exercise. Taking the first step towards starting your business. The only thing that's stopping you is also you.Without action, nothing happens. So when you take action, not only do additional resources come your way, but you get feedback that helps you adjust your course and refine your approach.

123: The Curious Mindset - Tom Davies, GeoWizard

Tom Davies, GeoWizardTom Davies, better known online as GeoWizard, is an English YouTuber who uploads videos based around the online map game GeoGuessr.In early 2019, Tom had felt a craving for an adventure — one that would push him mentally and physically and, with any luck, leave a sense of accomplishment at the end. He attempted to walk across the country of Wales in a completely straight line. He didn't upload the footage until summer of the same year. He attempted to cross from the English border near the town of Oswestry, all the way to Dolgellau on the west coast. He made it just over half way before temporarily giving up, taking a 5 day break, and returning to walk the rest of the distance. Tom split the adventure into five parts, with each episode lasting just over 30 minutes. Each episode is entertaining and humorous as you would expect.Tom has managed to accrue a massive following who is simply amazed at his ability to guess all kinds of random locations on the game GeoGuessr, a game that requires some intermediate travel and geographical knowledge. So gamers will be trying to guess the locations of remote towns or villages, roads, and other areas that might not be obvious at first glance..There are dozens of other videos with Tom making impressive guesses on YouTube.Tom:Connect with Tom on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-davies-982b2a193/)GeoWizard YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/GeoWizard/featured)Support Tom on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/geowizard)ABOUT THE HOSTMy name is Sam Harris.

Being able to enjoy life without technology doesn’t mean getting rid of all your electronic devices. It simply means there are ways you can limit the amount of time and access you have to these devices so that you have more face to face contact with other people and more time for recreation.There is a whole world we are missing out on when we are too concerned with technology. Real time spent with friends, family, and even ourselves is much more rewarding than scrolling mindlessly through your screen. Make the change to enjoy your life without technology, and I doubt you will regret it.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.

No amount of money can buy time and you shouldn’t feel like you’re mindlessly wasting your life awayMany people choose careers that don’t make them happy. For what? For money, for social status. Only to find out that they would all do it differently if they had the chance. You only have one life, so don’t waste it working somewhere you hate just because of the money.Work for something you care of love and see yourself living better. It is more important that you are happy and get to do what you are passionate about every day/Be consciousTo be conscious is being aware of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc. Take a look at your life as if you were somebody else looking inside your brain. Observe what thoughts you entertain and what patterns you do everyday. Notice that some will be positive and some will be negative. These negative thoughts and actions are the ones holding you back and they need to be stopped. The positive thoughts and actions you entertain and do every day need to be magnified and multiplied. Develop and grow your consciousness and be able to improve yourself mentally, physically and spiritually.SyncifyAn app that lets you be social at a distance.
