25.01.2022 Wow well worth a read

25.01.2022 When they asked her to reveal her beauty secrets, Audrey Hepburn wrote this beautiful text that was later read at her funeral. To have attractive lips, speak... kind words. To have a loving look, look for the good side of people. To look skinny, share your food with the hungry. To have beautiful hair, let a child cross it with his own fingers once a day. To have a beautiful poise, walk knowing youre never alone, because those who love and loved you accompany you. People, even more than objects, need to be fixed, spoiled, awakened, wanted and saved: never give up on anyone. Remember, if you ever need a hand, youll find them at the end of both your arms. When you become old, you will discover that you have two hands, one to help yourself, the second to help others. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, in her face or in her way of fixing her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the door open to her heart, the source of her love. The beauty of a woman doesnt lie in her makeup, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the tenderness that gives love, the passion that it expresses. The beauty of a woman grows over the years See more

20.01.2022 This 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight oclock, with her hair fashionably coiffed and makeup perfectly... applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home yesterday. Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window. I love it, she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. Mrs. Jones, you havent seen the room . just wait. That doesnt have anything to do with it, she replied. Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesnt depend on how the furniture is arranged, its how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. Its a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open Ill focus on the new day and all the happy memories Ive stored away, just for this time in my life. She went on to explain, Old age is like a bank account, you withdraw from what youve put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing. And with a smile, she said: Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1. Free your heart from hatred. 2. Free your mind from worries. 3. Live simply. 4. Give more. 5. Expect less, & enjoy every moment. Photograph by Karsten Thormaehlen

18.01.2022 As was contemplating the end of 2020 and looking to 2021 I came across a great blog by Jeff Harry from Rediscover your Play.

Joy and grief, sadness and gratitude. Just like in Pixar’s Inside Out, emotions are complicated and we must embrace all of them and allow them to flow t...Continue reading

13.01.2022 FYI - News out this morning WARNING On Sunday Night there was a graphic suicide that took place on a TikTok live which has made its way into the feeds of many people. The video is from a Facebook Live recording that a Mississippi man made last week of him killing himself.Trolls are also inserting sections from the video into other seemingly harmless clips in an effort to trick people into watching it. The best thing for families to do is advise their young people to ...stay off Tik Tok for a 24 hour period until they have been able to take this video out of the algorithm as it is very disturbing. This is a very traumatising video that can be quite distressing to watch. Please extend this message to those you know who are on Tik Tok and those who have children that use it. ///// Need to talk to someone? Dont go it alone. Please reach out for help.

12.01.2022 At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married or had children, while walking through a park in Berlin, encountered a girl who was crying because she had los...t her favourite doll. Touched and moved by her disappointment and sadness, he helped her look for her doll. Their search was unsuccessful Kafka told her he would come help her look again the next day, but they still failed to find the girls doll So, he gave her a letter, written by the doll, saying "please dont cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write letters to you about my adventures." Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafkas life During their catch-ups in the park, Kafka read the letters from the doll, carefully written with all of her adventures Finally, after some time, Kafka decided to bring the girls doll back to her (he bought one). Her beloved doll had finally returned to Berlin "This doesnt look like my doll at all!" said the girl Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote, "my travels have changed me." She hugged her new doll, and took her home A year later, Kafka died When the girl had grown to adulthood, she found inside the doll (still a treasured possession) a tiny letter, signed by Kafka... "Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way." Artwork by Isabel Tornet

08.01.2022 " , ." - _____________________________________________... This advice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 101. One of the best books that I've read is : by . , .. Right on the front cover is states, " - ," and it's true. They've actually collected data on this book and it's effectiveness is highly impressive. It was also found in a national survey of mental health professionals, Feeling Good was rated number one, out of a list of 1,000 books, as the most frequently recommended self-help book on depression in the United States. Beyond the collected data and evidence-based approach, my own anecdotal experience with applying the exercises from this book have been an important part in my own Awakening. There are ten major cognitive distortions (distorted thinking patterns) in our regular, but not healthy, way of thinking. These are: . -- : You see things in black-and-white categories. If your performance falls short of perfect, you see yourself as a total failure. . : You see a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat. . : You pick out a single negative detail and dwell on it exclusively so that your vision of all reality becomes darkened, like the drop of ink that covers the entire beaker of water. . : You reject positive experiences by insisting they "don't count" for some reason or other. In this way you can maintain a negative belief that is contradicted by your every everyday experiences. . : You make a negative interpretation even though there are no definite facts that convincingly support your conclusion. - .) : You arbitrarily conclude that someone is reacting negatively to you, and you don't bother to check this out. - .) : You anticipate that things will turn out badly, and you feel convinced that your prediction is an already-established fact. . () : You exaggerate the importance of things (such as your goof-up or someone else's achievement), or you inappropriately shrink things until they appear tiny (your own desirable qualities or the other fellow's imperfections). This is also called the "binocular trick." . : You assume that your negative emotions necessarily reflect the way things really are: "I feel it, therefore it must be true." . : You try to motivate yourself with shoulds and shouldn'ts, as if you had to be whipped and punished before you could be expected to do anything. "Musts" and "oughts" are also offenders. The emotional consequence is guilt. When you direct should statements toward others, you feel anger, frustration, and resentment. . : This is an extreme form of overgeneralization. Instead of describing your error, you attach a negative label to yourself: "I'm a loser." When someone else's behavior rubs you the wrong way, you attach a negative label to him/her: "He's an asshole" or "she's a bitch." Mislabeling involves describing an event with language that is highly colored and emotionally loaded. . : You see yourself as the cause of some negative external event which in fact you were not primarily responsible for. _____________________________________________ : - This really works wonders. All you need is a pen or pencil and a piece of paper. - Create three columns, side by side by side, on a piece of paper, and at the top of each column, from left to right, label the columns "Automatic Thoughts (Self-criticism)," "Cognitive Distortion," and "Rational Response (Self-defense)." - Write out whatever limiting, unwanted, hateful, or fearful thoughts you have in the first column: "Automatic Thoughts." -Write down what the 'cognitive distortions' you discover in this thought are. It may be only one or it may be five or even more. This goes under the second column: "Cognitive Distortion." - Write out a 'rational response', combating the ridiculousness and absurdity of this thought with sound reason, logic, and self-care. This goes under the last column: "Rational Response." An example may be something like this: - Automatic Thought: I'm such a lazy fat-ass! I ate like a slob today and didn't even work out. I should do better. Why do I always fuck up? I'm never going to get to my goal. - Cognitive Distortion: 'All-or-nothing Thinking', 'Should Statement', 'Overgeneralization', 'Labeling and Mislabeling', 'Mental Filter'. - Rational Response: I'm actually at a healthy body weight. I did lay around moreso today than usual, but usually I'm up and moving around. Just this week I went to the gym three times and the park twice! Rest is important too. It's actually essentially! It's absurd to think that I always fuck up. Do I make mistakes? Yes. It's called being human. Reflecting back, I've actually accomplished a lot this week that I wasn't giving myself credit for. Wow, I already feel so much better! _______________________________________________ Here is a link to David Burns' website, which has free resources available for you to use: https://feelinggood.com/

07.01.2022 Perception is not reality! BUT... ...perception can become a persons reality (there is a difference) because perception has a potent influence on how we look at reality.... perception: The way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression. reality: The world or the state of things as they actually exist existence that is absolute, self-sufficient, or objective, and not subject to human decisions or conventions. Helpful tips to ensure that perceptions remain close to reality: The challenge we face with our own thinking, as well as the thinking of others, is how to ensure that perceptions remain close to reality. This alignment is essential for us to live in the real world, find consensus with others, and maintain the individual, governmental, and societal structures that are necessary for life as we know it to exist. - Dont assume that your perceptions are reality (just your reality) - Be respectful of others perceptions (they may be right) - Dont hold your perceptions too tightly; they may be wrong (admitting it takes courage) - Recognise the distortions within you that may warp your perceptions (seeing them will better ground your perceptions in reality rather than the other way around) - Challenge your perceptions (do they hold up under the microscope of reality?) - Seek out validation from experts and credible others (dont just ask your friends because they likely have the same perceptions as you) - Be open to modifying your perceptions if the preponderance of evidence demands it (rigidity of mind is far worse than being wrong) Source: https://www.psychologytoday.com//201908/perception-is-not-

07.01.2022 Emma Thompson reads kindness by Naomi Shihab Nye

06.01.2022 I used to wonder why my mom was always the last one out of the house. I thought for a while it was because she took the longest to get ready. I figured she som...etimes waited until the last minute. I had the suspicion she didn’t want to go out in public without her hair done or lip liner on, even though I couldn’t imagine why a mom would care so much, really. I only recently figured out the answer, having become a mom myself. Because while the rest of us waited outside, all bundled up in the scarves and jackets and hats she had pulled from storage, or smothered in sunscreen she had smeared on our faces while we clutched the flip-flops and swimsuits she had doled out, and rolled our eyes about how long she was taking Mom was filling thermoses with hot chocolate, and packing picnic lunches, and making sure the bathroom light was off, and refilling the dog’s water bowl, and grabbing a spare change of clothes for us just in case, and searching through the junk drawer for a coupon, and taking a hot minute to use the bathroom by herself for a change, and yes, maybe dabbing on a bit of lipstick. And whenever she did finally appear, pulling on her jacket as she locked the front door, she was always met with an exasperated, Come OOOONNN, Mom! To which she would respond by shooting daggers from her eyes. For the longest time, I didn’t get it. She had started at the same time we did! Then I became a mom. And it finally dawned on me that my mom wasn’t the last one out because she was lazy or disorganized or slow or overly concerned about her appearance . . . It was because she took care of absolutely everyone and everything else before she took care of herself. And that's just what moms do.

01.01.2022 Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Marianne Williamson.
