Us women always have something to complain about on our bodies. When we get on a health kick or roll of eating clean and exercising, it can sometimes turn in to an unhealthy extreme. Believe me, been there, done that! The opposite can happen just as easily. We eat one cookie and suddenly think we’ve messed it all up and continue to eat the rest of the box…..also been there, done that! What we all could benefit from is just listening to our own bodies and truly loving ourselves without worrying about anyone else’s body

Travel is important because it fundamentally transforms us. By taking a break from your daily life, unplugging from the pulls and pushes of technology and engaging in new activities in new places, it is easier release unwanted habits. Also, it is empowering to surround yourself with people who don't know the encyclopedia of your past. It reinforces your willingness to broaden your horizons, to get unstuck and to move in new directions. Choosing to travel alone for pleasure however is not very common since it considered unsafe to do so.

But all of that is changing as more and more people seek to travel alone thereby forcing participants of the travel economy to cater to the growing demand.

What does it take to create a successful organization? Research this topic and the one consistent theme you will come across everywhere is that great talent is essential for building anything noteworthy. However, is it enough to only have smart people who are highly self-motivated onboard. Or is that just one piece of the puzzle that needs to be present on the journey towards creating a lasting enterprise. A ground-breaking research conducted by Nitin Nohria (Harvard Business School), William Joyce (Tuck School Of Business) and Bruce Robertson asked a similar question. Their findings brought to light the fact that companies that outperformed their peers excelled at a finite set of primary and secondary management practices. This winning combination of better management techniques and the recipe of business success is referred to as the "4+2" formula. It states that firms that sustain superior business performance excel at the four primary levers of strategy, execution, culture, and structure.

There is a famous belief in the religion of Hinduism that young children are a reflection of god with each one being born with an extremely pure heart. This fact is often mirrored in the their behavior and natural abilities which are way advanced than adults who often need to train intensively to gain the level of flexibility naturally present in babies. It is true that babies are born as little yogis and yoginis. At every stage in development, babies naturally curl and rest into a variety of asanas that would make any yoga student green with envy. It is for this very natural reason that in a perfect world yoga and young kids would be synonymous with one another.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, How I wonder what you are. The famous nursery rhyme born out of a 19th-century poem, is among the first things that we learn in our lives. It is then fair to assume that from an early age each one of us, male or female is fascinated by the shiny distant objects that sparkle in the night sky. Given this early psychological setting, witnessing a blanket of stars cover the dark sky at night is always breath-taking. And yet, such a sight is as rare as seeing a double rainbow, a shooting star or a frozen waterfall. Why it is becoming increasingly difficult to witness a star studded sky even in moderately populated cities of the world? This feature explains the reason while also telling you about places where one can indulge in the magic of star-gazing.

Sit up straight!, Don't slouch!, admonishing words that many of us have heard from our mother's during our childhood. If you were smart enough to not have ignored them you probably realize it today in your adulthood that mother always knows best because good posture is important. Its important because 1) it sends a message about how you feel about yourself, and 2) good posture can make you appear taller, thinner and more at ease. So what exactly is good posture, lets try to understand this a little more. Think of your body as a building, an architectural marvel designed to work with the force of gravity such that no one structure is over-stressed. In the physical world an architect has to take these same laws of gravity and weight distribution into account when he or she designs a building. And like a building with a poor foundation a body with poor posture is less resistant to the strains and stresses we experience over the months, years and decades of life.

To understand the experience of deep sleep of another person we do not have to ask him. As soon as somebody says that he had a deep sleep we are able to understand his experience, without asking him at all. The reason we have to ask the other person’s waking and dream experiences because we are different from him in these two states. However, if anybody’s deep sleep experience is understood by us even without asking, it automatically shows that during deep sleep there is no difference at all between us; I am himself. In other words, it is clear that I exist in everybody’s deep sleep. In the waking state, we experience the world through our sense organs and mind, which are different for each individual. In dreams however, the sense organs are inactive and only the mind functions.

A study of various religious texts highlights the fact that what they preach are essentially the basic principles of life. One among the various philosophies enshrined in these texts is that of gaining self-discipline and control over our physical senses. Abstinence better understood as the self-enforced restraint from indulging in pleasure giving activities is described in detail in most scriptures. When we think of abstinence in the 21st century, four terms come to mind, namely alcohol, tobacco, coitus and food. Of these four wants only one is a need, as it is required for the basic functioning of all living organisms on earth - FOOD. Abstinence from food is thus seen as the ultimate penance and the only way to overcome the trap of worldly indulgences. It thus comes as no surprise that the act of Fasting is explained in great detail in all faiths, particularly in Islam and Hinduism.
