Desperately racing to a yoga class so you can calm down? How to give yourself a reality check here.
The other day I was headed to a yoga class. I noticed that my watch and the clock in my car were 10 minutes apart, which meant that if my watch was right I might be late, which meant I might not find a place to park, lay my mat in my favorite spot by the door, or even get in class. So what did I do? What any good American chasing the American dream going to a yoga class would do, I sped up!

Enhance your life by using your little-known ability each day
It’s true: a real sixth sense exists. But it might not help you guess lottery ticket numbers, or talk to dead people.
As a matter of fact, you use your real sixth sense every day of your life. It is known, generally, as interoception and it is defined as the ability to know what is happening inside your body.
