By Leo Babauta I have a friend who doesn’t realize how much he dislikes so many things — much of his life is spent avoiding things he doesn’t like, or trying to rush through things like exercise, or annoyed by people who do things he doesn’t like. We all have aversions to things, more than […]
We’re finally past the halfway mark. It seems like ages ago that we started this experiment, as if we’ve been living at Disneyland for a month already. Astro Blasters I further optimized my Astro Blasters’ strategy, which allowed me to blow away my previous best and score 762,500 points a couple of days ago. When…

By Leo Babauta Whether you’re in the U.S. or not, the results of yesterday’s election can bring up some strong feelings — maybe outrage or depression, maybe elation and shock, maybe contempt for others. In this crazy emotional time, I urge you to try a compassion practice. Perhaps, like some people I know, you are […]
We finished two weeks at Disneyland so far. I certainly feel it in my body with some stiffness due to all the walking and rides, although stretching helps a lot with that. In the past week, we walked more than 75 miles, so we averaged a little more than 10.5 miles per day. We’re still…

The days are starting to blur together, as if it’s one continuous stream of Disneyland that never ends. Sometimes it’s hard to remember what we did for the past week and a half. I think that’s because my focus is so rooted in the present moment. I’m surprised that we haven’t gotten completely bored with…

It’s hard to believe we’ve already finished 10 days in a row at Disneyland. Looking back it seems like such a whirlwind of activity. For the past two days, we spent time hanging out with other people at the park – two people on Wednesday and one on Thursday. The social aspect was a nice…

By Leo Babauta As I write this, I’m sitting in cloud-filled rainforest at a retreat in Ecuador, surrounded by the calls of thousands of tropical birds and creatures, dense lush greenery, and some of the most open-hearted human beings I’ve ever met. Before I came here, I had some anxiety about meeting everyone, worried what […]
Our eighth day at Disneyland yesterday was pleasant and fun, especially because the crowds were much lighter. Around the third or fourth day, I was having doubts about my ability to enjoy this experiment. With so many days left, it seemed like an endurance challenge. I was worried that I’d get bored of it quickly…
