Do you know that milk with honey induces sleep? Just try it when you find it hard to sleep. Another good thing to induce sleep is cucumber. Sliced cucumber over your eyes won't only diminish your eye bags but will also make you...

fclavecillas Hope milk with honey and cucumber work for you. When I find myself awake and don't know any reason why I can't sleep, I do the "inhale-exhale" diaphragmatic breathing and just follow the rhythm of my breath. I just let the distractions that come to my...

I plan to write a book or a short novel or whatever and I really have really good twisted ideas about what the main context of how the story should be. The only problem is, every time I turn on the computer open word, I can't seem...

fclavecillas You're having a writer's block. I have experienced that too. I have talked to friends who are writers and I was told that there's a way to overcome a writer's block. Here's one way: Get a favorite story and copy it manually and savor the flow of the words as...

I really do love writhing. Whatever comes out to my mind, I see to it that i will put it in writing. Sometimes, what I write is a result of my emotions and my moods. Do you love to write?

fclavecillas Yes, I love to write. It's my medium for expressing my thoughts. Writing, for me, is a freeing experience. It helps me let out whatever it is that I want to say without fear at a given moment. It is also a form of therapy for me. When I feel so tired and...

fclavecillas I have developed a grateful attitude to the universe as soon as I get up in the morning and before I sleep at night. I didn't keep a gratitude journal then. But I have started a gratitude journal a couple of days ago. It's a positive leap to something...

fclavecillas Good question! Hmmm, my answer won't be the same as most people. When it comes to the concept of enjoying life, I don't look at it from just the perspective of leisure. I remember Mahatma Gandhi when he said: "You have no right to leisure if all around you...

fclavecillas When I am so tired I take a walk and stop thinking. I go to a beauty parlor and have my nails cleaned. Then I get a good massage from any of the blind masseuse in a given area near a supermarket in our city. It's good to stop all the mental noise that run...

fclavecillas On a Sunday morning, I like fruit juice then, cereals with fresh milk. Because Sunday is supposed to be a leisurely day, I like to have toasts with omelet. I want to eat all these slowly and have brewed coffee while I read the Sunday newspaper.

fclavecillas The idea of a gratitude journal is good. It puts gratitude deliberately in our consciousness. At the moment, I don't have a gratitude journal but every morning and evening I enumerate the things that I am thankful for. There are so many things to be thankful...

fclavecillas I am aligned with your thought that irrespective of who we are, there is always room for a little love. It isn't impossible to make room for a little love for people who don't even love us. Love and tolerance are intertwined attitudes that come from a generous...

What if the beatles are still together and recording albums now, would you still love them? Would they still be a great band? Would you still listen to their music? Would their music be as timeless as it is today? Your thoughts.

fclavecillas I love the Beatles' songs until today and all the more so that I'd love their songs if they were still a complete band. Last Christmas, I visited You Tube and found John Lennon's "The War is Over". The You Tube material is a video of John Lennon about World...
