A man in a bar sees a friend at a table, drinking by himself.
Approaching the friend, he comments, "You look terrible. Whats the problem?" "My mother died in June, and left me $10,000", said the friend. "Gee, thats tough", he replied. "Then in July", the friend continued, "My father died, leaving me $50,000". The man looking concerned says, "Wow. Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you're depressed". The friend continues, "And last month...

Codependency is an addiction to unhealthy, unproductive relationships. You repeat patterns that cause you pain, yet you feel unable to break them. These relationships have a compulsive quality; you get hurt, but you keep going back for more, in the hope of changing something. In codependent relationships you comply. You adapt to the dysfunction of the relationship and deny your...

emotionally sensitive people tend to use food as self-comfort.
While it’s not true for everyone, many emotionally sensitive people tend to use food as self-comfort. Eating is one of those strategies that works in the short-term but can have long-term consequences that add to your stress level.
When you go into your closet and nothing fits, that’s a miserable feeling. When your chest is tight and you feel so stuffed with food you can’t move, that’s...

finding meaning
Describing the experience of emptiness to individuals who have never experienced it is difficult. How is it that some emotionally sensitive people, who feel so many emotions so intensely, also struggle with emptiness? I asked for wisdom from those who have experienced emptiness*.
Kendra said emptiness feels like a cold shell. Imagine feeling like a shell of a person with no insides,...

Think Outside the Box.
For over a year and a half, the local coffee shop I frequent had an empty black frame hanging on the wall. And for all of that time, I wondered what the owner, Mo, was thinking.
Was he being cheap? Lazy? Maybe he had walked past that frame so many times he simply didn’t see it anymore.
Then last week, I noticed something. The once empty frame now contained the words “Think Outside...

love without exception and without expectations
The concept of loving your neighbor as yourself, as taught by Christ, has nothing to do with the Golden Rule, which implies a transactional expectation of being treated well as a reward for treating others well. Christ told his followers to love without exception and without expectations. In fact, Christ said we should love our enemies and those who hate us. Christianity has been...

Chronic Cocaine Use Rewires the Brain
The chronic use of cocaine can lead to structural changes in the brain that make the user more susceptible to addiction. Researchers at the University of Buffalo and Mount Sinai School of Medicine found that chronic cocaine use reduces the expression of a protein known to regulate brain plasticity in mice, which drives structural changes in the brain, including creating greater sensitivity...

Learning How to Fail
How many of us know how to fail? Failure is a part of succeeding, especially when your goal is a difficult one to achieve. Persistence is said to be the key to success. Persistence means to keep going even when a door closes. So what’s the difference between people who keep going and crave a challenge and those who give up? You may have heard the story of Edison attempting to invent...
Pleasure eating triggers body's reward system and may stimulate overeating
When eating is motivated by pleasure, rather than hunger, endogenous rewarding chemical signals are activated which can lead to overeating, according to a recent study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). The phenomenon ultimately affects body mass and may be a factor in the continuing rise of obesity. See Also:...

LIAR WITHIN
Your words are like quick sand
Empty, hollow, and deceiving
they look warm and inviting
yet provide no ground to stand
The fool who believes
will be sucked in,
under the surface, deep within,
suffocating in your lies,
fighting for sanity…
they are done in, unless they cut all ties
refuse to rely on you for anything.
In your wake, chaos and confusion
broken promises, demise of a union.

I'm putting this on my fridge door
"Be Grateful To Everybody" If we were to make a list of the people we don't like-people we find obnoxious, threatening or worthy of contempt-we would find much about ourselves that we can't face. If we were to come up with one word about each of the troublemakers in our lives, we would find ourselves with a list of descriptions of our own rejected qualities. We project these on the...
