My mom taught me a simple technique that I use to this day, when everything is falling apart and your mind makes you feel like you have no control say these simple words: What is the worse thing that could happen from this event? Of course one would not use this in a life or death situation but most everyday stress' can be dealt with in this manner and it really does calm you when you apply logic...<BR/>I dislike waking up in the middle of the night worried about the state of the world and what can we do? This simple logic doesn't always work but sometimes it helps.valerie walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15680334509469712078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1156946280176794622006-08-30T09:58:00.000-04:002006-08-30T09:58:00.000-04:00interesting post kj. i read something about fear ...interesting post kj. i read something about fear a long time ago that stuck with me. it was a book on buddhism that talked about fear as being intangible. try to put your finger on the exact spot that your fear is--and you can't. the nice thing about trying to find the exact spot where fear is sitting makes it disappear. i don't know if i explained that very well...but your writing reminded me of that. there is so much potential in our lives when we let go of fear.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377814945121401007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1156944367897115072006-08-30T09:26:00.000-04:002006-08-30T09:26:00.000-04:00ces, fear and stress overtake us in our own indivi...ces, fear and stress overtake us in our own individual ways. might be relationships, might be work, might be self-doubt or fear of failure.<BR/><BR/>too many mind games. well said.kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1156938195277334372006-08-30T07:43:00.000-04:002006-08-30T07:43:00.000-04:00Oh great kj.

The heart can only take so much. 2 months in a row, 2 young people we work with have died, while they were asleep. Aged 48 and 33. Looked very healthy, slim, nice looking. What is going on? My heart beats so fast from anxiety. Interviews do not so much bother me. Being nugged, as long as they don't beat you up, is something one can get over with after the shock. Speaking from experience.<BR/><BR/>We play too many mind games, especially women with men. What's up with that? Make up our minds, either it's love or not. If it's not love it's a game, if it's love it's peace.Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.com
