Don't Let Toxic People Thrive On You

2008-11-23T10:48:00.004-05:00

I am very careful about who and what I allow into my life. Anyway that you look at it, it is a shield I attempt to build around myself. I am a firm believer, as you well know if you have spent anytime on this site, that like attracts like. We are, and bring into our lives that which we think about. This thought creates the next moment and action, and so on. Every person, and situation creates a

Conflict Addiction Meets Psychological Needs

2008-11-07T13:37:00.004-05:00

Addictions come in many forms, and rarely do we see, or acknowledge them within ourselves. We all know about the usual ones, like drugs, alcohol, eating, etc., but what about the non-visual ones like the addiction to drama, grief, victim hood? Usually we don’t stop to consider that our thoughts can be addictions as well.Addiction is: “anything that compels you, in actions or thoughts, and you don

Simon Says

2008-11-05T12:23:00.008-05:00

If you are human, no matter how self-confident you are, we all have that voice within that gives us varying degrees of doubt. We all feel the need to fit in, and no-one wants to be wrong, because if we are wrong, then we have failed in some way. Even though a mistake is a vital step in learning and becoming better, a mistake is still perceived as a failure.If we fail we may be rejected. There

Confessions, The Notebook, and Journaling to Save My Soul

2008-11-04T10:41:00.003-05:00

Last year I had several drastic things happen in my life. Each one in itself, is hard for anyone to deal with. Before I was able to recover from one, and get my feet planted back firmly underneath of me, another one would hit. The man that I was building a life and home with, and thought I would be spending the rest of my life with, and trusted with my heart, the man who I believed had

The House of 1000 Mirrors

2008-11-03T16:39:00.004-05:00

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000

Only The Shadow Knows

2008-10-28T19:33:00.018-04:00

The Shadows That Lay Within UsMost all of us want to be good people, and to act with wisdom, dignity and integrity…three qualities, I know that, I strive for. Along with honesty, but then, I believe, that is a quality that is only a portion of the other three. But humans, as a whole, are less good than we want to be, or even imagine ourselves to be. I have written several times before about the

Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome Meets The "Wild Divine"

2008-10-22T10:12:00.006-04:00

I was born with mitral valve prolapse syndrome (MVPS (also known as "click murmur syndrome" and "Barlow's syndrome"), which is the most common heart valve abnormality, affecting five to ten percent of the world population.

If You Don't Change Your Mind, Others Will Do It For You

Have you ever really taken the time to think about it? Control and manipulation are at the core of all our inter-personal relationships.Control and manipulation, is a very vast subject. They are such ugly words, but we experience them everyday of our lives. People and institutions use our fears and our needs against us to get us to do what they want. We are being manipulated by our Government,

Communication is the Cornerstone of Our Lives

2008-10-11T08:26:00.005-04:00

As humans communication is the cornerstone of our lives, and we communicate in so many ways, mostly subconsciously. We communicate through words, body language, smell, touch, sound. We use every sense, including our sixth sense, which would be subconscious, to communicate with one another. There is a continuous assortment of energy and signals being transported from each other at all moments in

How Core Beliefs Impact Your Life

2008-09-25T13:02:00.017-04:00

Humans need to feel in control. In control of their lives, emotions, destinies, and many times those around us, in an attempt to achieve their hearts desires. But in order to be in control of these things, we must be in control of ourselves. In order to be in control of ourselves, we must first begin to know ourselves. Why do we behave the way we do, feel the way we do, believe the things we do?

Emotions, The Center of Social Interactions and Communication

2008-09-15T14:10:00.006-04:00

I don’t think that there is any doubt that emotions play an important part in all of our lives. In every moment we experience them, and are faced with a choice as to how we choose to respond to them. Most of us don’t always understand the emotions that we are feeling during certain circumstances. If we want to know more about ourselves, and understand those around us better, we need to understand

There is a lot of speculation about who the terrorists really were and for what purpose, among the American people, and the World, for that matter. The acts of these terrorists, whoever they were, and wherever they came from, and for whatever purpose this act served to create, it caused the American people to unite.

Resentment - What Are The Implications?

2008-08-31T11:50:00.008-04:00

I write and study about relationships, on my blog “Open Your Heart to the Love”, and how the mind works, as I do mostly here on this blog, as a way of learning about myself, and the idiosyncrasies of the thoughts, reactions, and behaviors that make up who I am. Why is it that sometimes I behave in ways that go against my own values, and against whom it is that I desire to be as a person? No one

Doctor, Doctor! What's Wrong With My Eyes?

2008-08-14T14:31:00.005-04:00

Our brain has a way of making shortcuts to process information…an auto-pilot, so to speak, that takes care of so many of our tasks, so that we don’t have to stop and think about it, and process how to react. Driving a car for example; when we are first learning to drive, we have to think about just about every move we make; however, once we have learned this skill, we do it on auto-pilot, pretty

Don't You Dare Yawn

2008-08-03T19:18:00.005-04:00

We all have experienced it. Someone yawns, and you just can’t help yourself, you have to yawn too. Even the sound of someone yawning will cause others to yawn also. Reading about it, and as I am quickly finding, writing about it, causes me to want to yawn. I used to get irritated with my mother, because it seemed that every time that she would call me that she would start yawning (maybe she was

We all feel the need to be in control, or at least have the sense of control, in order to feel safe and secure in the world, and with our relationships with the people that surround us, and we go about this in many different ways. We also have the need to explain to ourselves and others, the things that are happening around us, and we want to know the reasons for not only our actions, but

Congnitive Dissonance One Of Our Ego's Defense Mechanisms

2008-07-30T14:42:00.005-04:00

Ego Defense MechanismsOur ego goes to great lengths to defend itself, with the intent of protecting our mind and ourselves, or egos from anxiety and to provide ourselves with a refuge from a situation where we cannot currently cope.One of the ways it does this is through cognitive dissonance, which is closely related to denial and rationalization, justification, and we do this all the time

We all have our hidden expectations...our own view of the world and how it should be according to our perceptions and beliefs. The 60,000 thoughts that run through our minds each day, are forming what we want to be happening at that moment, what we would like to happen in our future, and either praising events or yearning for how we wish it had played out in the past. We dwell on things that
