The Human Habits That Still Matter
By Leo Babauta These days, you can’t avoid hearing and thinking about AI — it’s all around us, and it’s taking over the world. So much of our lives are being automated … which in some ways is breathtaking. In other ways, I think we can all feel that we’re losing something. This is a moment to stop and reflect: what is important to remain human? What human skills do we want to protect? Let’s explore some of those very human habits that we can’t let fall to the bots. The Habits That Matter While AI can generate a lot of amazing things, and help us in incredible ways … there are some things that

Finding Steadiness When the Ground Feels Shaky
By Leo Babauta These days, the world (and our lives) can feel out of control — alarming news, a wild political situation, global warming and economic markets all in turmoil. When things feel this shaky and out of control, our emotions can spiral and it throws our lives into chaos. What can we do? The practice I’m going to share with you today is how to find internal steadiness, when everything around you is unsteady. The practice is to focus on attending to our internal state. To find calm and peace no matter what’s happening externally. Let’s dive into it! Focusing on What We Can Control We c

The Practice of Doing Less, On Purpose
By Leo Babauta These days, a lot of people I talk to are feeling burnout — exhaustion from endless work that can often feel pointless, overloaded lives with not enough restorative rest, constant replying to messages and overwhelmed by information, drained by social media scrolling, and inundated with stressful world news. If you’re feeling this, I’m going to share a skill that sounds simple, but can be deceptively difficult: doing less, on purpose. What I’m talking about is doing less as a deliberate practice, not because of a failure to keep up. We’re making a deliberate choice to do less, no

Staying Grounded Without Checking Out
By Leo Babauta A lot of people right now are feeling exhaustion from the news, the economy, politics, wars, the AI frenzy … it’s a lot to deal with. People tend to have two responses to feeling like the world is too much: Being over-engaged : Feeling anxious about the world, you can get hooked on following the latest news, doomscrolling through social media and other feeds, and spinning in your head about it all; or Disengaging : It feels like too much, and so you check out. You don’t follow any of the news, you don’t check social media (or only the entertaining parts), you don’t get involved.

Get Support When You’re Stuck in Your Life
By Leo Babauta Most people I know are unwilling to ask for help when they’re stuck, because it’s a bit embarrassing. That’s understandable. But we all get stuck sometimes — we want to get out of a rut, we want to change our lives, we have all the best intentions. And somehow we struggle to make it stick. When this happens, people will often blame themselves, get discouraged, and let the failure become a part of how they see themselves. I encourage you to try something different: get some support. What do I mean by support? In my Fearless Living Academy , we’re offering two free 20-minute coach

How to Be Mentally Flexible
By Leo Babauta A flexible approach to life is far more valuable than most people realize. Our minds can become too rigid. We want to be right, we want to do things a certain way, we want things to go the way we want them to go. This can lead to a whole host of difficulties we’re causing ourselves with this rigidity: Becoming frustrated all the time Getting into unnecessary arguments with people, trying to prove we’re right Not being able to receive feedback, because of defensiveness Disappointment and discouragement when things aren’t going the way we’d hoped Stress when we’re feeling behind S

The Joy of Falling Behind
By Leo Babauta A lot of people right now are feeling like they just can’t keep up with everything — it’s just too much. And it feels like the pace of everything we have to keep up with is accelerating. There’s more and more, and it’s coming at us faster and faster. Technology is like fuel to the fire: more never-ending feeds, and quick replies to messages and emails means there’s too much to reply to. What if we simply refused to try to keep up with it all? What if we rejected the premise that we need to keep up? It’s an impossible game, and we don’t have to play it. Here’s a new game: feel jo
