How to Develop an Awesome Sense of Direction

Source: http://zenhabits.net/direction/

By Leo Babauta

It’s strange, but I’ve discovered I have a better sense of direction than many people — when I travel, it doesn’t take that long for me to figure out the lay of the land, and soon I’m walking around almost like a local.

But I’ve also found out that many other people don’t have this good sense of direction, and it can make things difficult for them when they travel to a new place.

I used to think maybe it was something you were born with or not, but I’m now convinced that it’s a set of skills you can learn. For me, it always seemed instinctive, until a friend asked me what i do when I get to a new place. I’ve done a lot of analyzing of what I do since then, and I’ve broken the skill into a series of steps.

I hope this helps those who feel lost.

Here’s what I recommend, whenever you get to a new city or area you’re not totally familiar with:

First, look at a map for a few minutes. I will open Google Maps and look at the city and its major landmarks and features. Is there a river, lake, harbor, sea shore? Is there a big central park, or several big parks? Where is the downtown area? What are the major neighborhoods? Major roads? Famous buildings, like the Sydney Opera house? What’s to the north or south?
Walk around a lot. When I first get to a city, I like to walk around a lot. This is the best way to get to know a city, to wander and start to develop a sense of where things are and how the city look…

Happy International No Diet Day!

Hey friends – happy International No Diet Day! Yes, there really is a day for everything, but this one is especially important to me given the work that I do in my AnneTheRD private practice. It was also aptly timed as my Joyful Eating Program collaborators, fellow intuitive eating dietitians Rachael and Alex, were in town yesterday and today so we could record some audio files and put the finishing touches on our program in person! We got a ton done – and also had fun seeing each other in real life vs. on a computer screen. :)

Motherhood is so full: Full of love. Full of life. Full of responsibilities. Full of demands. Full of all the feels. To be a mindful mama it is necessary to create ways to keep your own cup full. This restorative practice does just that. Spacious, simple, and slow, it provides room to breathe and to listen to your heart. Carve out 10 minutes for you. Ten minutes where no one is asking you for anything, no responsibilities, requirements or demands. Do whatever it takes to keep the little ones at bay whilst you turn down the lights and love yourself up! You’ll be grateful you did.

Breaking Down the Science: Why Creatine is Better Than You Thought

Source: http://www.bornfitness.com/creatine/

Did you hear the one about creatine and steroids? You know, how they’re basically the same thing? Me too, and I can’t think of anything more ridiculous.

Creatine has been studied extensively for 35 years (and counting), and it’s safe to say that it’s much safer than Tylenol. (You won’t find any documented cases of accidental overdose causing death.)

Research on everyone from infants to the elderly should help you feel good about the supplement. Here’s a big roundup of a lot of the research that’s been done on the benefits, if you’re curious and want to look for yourself.

So why the controversy? Because in a supplement market clouded by lots of hype and little noticeable results (“pump” supplements, anyone?), creatine actually works. Really well, actually, and in more ways than you probably imagined.

To calm your uncertainty, we found the people who know best: researchers, scientists, and Ph.D’s, to provide you with the real story — and why creatine is better (and safer) than you might think.


Creatine is all-natural. (Seriously)

You can find creatine in everything from steak to beef, chicken, rabbit, and milk. The problem: the dose is so small you’d have to eat 2-3 pounds of meat per day to experience the same impact of as about 1 teaspoon of the powder form, says Kamal P…
