Welcome to the Twenty Third Edition of the Carnival of Improving Life

This was a slow week with a fraction of the normal amount of submissions, I was unable to update the carnival status on blog carnival before I left for a cottage for an extended weekend, this I believe is the reason for the loss of submissions, in any case, the submissions that did go through, contain some must read content. Please enjoy this weeks carnival of Improving Life and make sure to come back often!

CG Walters presents Find Your Center: Find Your Peace posted at Into the Mist. Of all the practices that one can pursue to provide health, clarity, stress reduction, psychological resolution, and emotional and spiritual growth, the most consistently powerful method is that of “centering”—bringing yourself to your true energetic core—to what you are before and beyond your familial, societal, and egoic restructuring and reshaping.

Wally Bock presents To plan or not to plan posted at Momentor.

Daniel Roach presents How to Transform Teasing and Overcome Ridicule posted at Daniel Roach.Org. Ridicule is something we all expected to ditch once we left the playgrounds as children. Adults seemed smarter, more mature, less likely to judge others prematurely. It is frightening at times how little adults have grown away from their more childish tendencies. If anything we’ve gotten smarter and far more dangerous.
