Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakes.

This one is genuine: Jung wrote it in a letter to Fanny Bowditch dated 22 October 1916, published in C.G. Jung Letters, Volume 1. The contrast is the heart of his method: outward looking produces dreams — fantasy and projection; inward looking is the harder work of waking, meeting one's own motives and shadows without disguise.

The CDC says physical activity can help you feel better, function better and sleep better. Even small movement is not only about weight; it also changes the day you are in.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) is the United States' national public-health agency, founded in 1946 and based in Atlanta. Its physical-activity guidance stresses that movement pays off immediately, not just decades later: a single session of moderate activity can sharpen thinking, ease anxiety, lower blood pressure and improve that night's sleep. The agency recommends about 150 minutes of moderate activity a week — but notes that any amount counts.
