1. The movie Case 39. This topped the list last week but I've since rewatched it, and yes, I find it makes a fine metaphor for not just my experience of 2014 but probably for all of 2010 - 2014 so it is now one of my all time favourite movies. Thank you, makers of Case 39, for helping me make sense of my life. It's set in Vancouver which is cool. Just to be clear I relate to the character played by Renee Zellweger. I think Case 39 is underrated and possibly full of great life lessons if it is true that demons lose their power in the absence of fear from their victims... bringing me to
2. All sorts of songs, lyrics and videos on the AWOLNATION youtube channel. What a lot of great lyrics, like the line "never let your fear decide your fate" from Kill your Heroes, "If you're feeling like I feel then run your life like it's a dance floor" from Burn it Down, and all of Jump On My Shoulders. Plus there are lots more I like, what an awesome band!
3. This TED talk about the Prison of Your Mind by Sean Stephenson which I liked so much I ended up watching his video on How To Create Powerful Connections With Anyone which I really liked as well.
4. Pranayama. Yogic breathing! I'd forgotten I used to do it after learning about it on a trip to India in 2001. It's nice so I've been watching various videos on youtube about the different techniques.
Here's an example for Kapalabhati Pranayama, and here's another video that goes over a few different breaths with a focus on Pranayama for weight loss.
5. Sprouting! I was researching what sort of sprouter to get when I found this video link from the Mumm's Sprouting Seeds Website pointing out that glass jars with screens work just as well. They do. I found a pack of paint strainers that we got a hardware store that are a perfect mesh for cutting up to put over jars.
