From Volume 17, Issue 11: The recent U.S. national election, like any significant political event, has clearly stirred strong emotions and prompted big questions about the future. These reactions are natural, but they don’t have to dictate my mental and emotional state. By choosing to stay present, I can navigate this period with greater calm and purpose.
From Volume 17, Issue 8: Trigger events are situations that evoke intense emotional responses, often leading to impulsive or less-than-productive behaviors.
From Volume 17, Issue 6: I’ve heard the phrase “being the adult in the room” to describe someone who exhibits leadership, responsibility, and emotional maturity in a situation.
From Volume 16, Issue 1: “We are completely insignificant in the universe—except to each other, now.” (Borrowed from a movie and revised slightly by me.)
We may look at the smallest creatures—insects, perhaps—as insignificant. I can either assertively or accidentally step on one, thus disrupting a genetic chain. He or she will have no prodigy, and I did that!
From Volume 16, Issue 1:
From Volume 16, Issue 7: Most of us can be and have been both Jekyll and Hyde. But why do we present ourselves so differently at different times? And so extremely?
From Volume 16, Issue 5:What’s the best thing to do? What’s right? Or what’s kind? It depends on your goal, I suppose. If I’m in a contest that I really want to win… or perhaps must win (to relieve financial stress), then I will definitely put all my efforts into being right.
From Volume 16, Issue 3: It’s virtually impossible for me to learn something (add or change a belief, initiate or learn a skill, etc.) when I believe I know the subject matter. Almost inevitably I will take the information that someone is trying to teach me and compare it against what I already know. And then, with no motivation to do otherwise, I’ll discount it, or even argue with it either covertly or overtly.
From Volume 16, Issue 2:Every one of us owns a pool of knowledge. It’s the sum and total of everything we’ve learned to date. We probably know hundreds of thousands of….things. Not only things, but how these things interact. And what they mean to us
From Volume 16, Issue 1:So your New Years’ resolution didn’t work? Want to know why?
There are two schools of thought about how we act in such situations.
