SUPPORT

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS SUPPORT.  WHEN WE  GIVE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS THROUGH POSITIVITY WE ARE WORKING ON GOD’S BEHALF.  I DON’T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS BUT DO KNOW THAT WE, AS WRITERS AND LEADERS WAS CALLED UPON TO SET THE STAGE.  SUPPORT IS VERY IMPORTANT FROM OTHERS.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO OURSELVES.  WE ARE AN INDIVIDUAL’S FOR A REASON. 

WE MUST BE STABLE, STANDING ON OUR OWN TWO FEET BEFORE OTHERS CAN BE LEANED ON.  WHEN WE NEED SUPPORT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE THIS TO OUR LOVED ONES.  IT IS OKAY TO NEED OTHERS, WHAT HAPPENS IF WE HAVE AN ISSUE THAT WE SIMPLY CAN’T HANDLE?  WE NEED TO ACCEPT THE FACT THERE ARE TIMES WE WILL NEED ANOTHER PERSON TO LEAN ON.  WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DON’T HAVE A GOOD SUPPORT SYSTEM? 

WE USUALLY ISOLATE AND BECOME DEPRESSED.  SOMETIMES, IT IS SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT IF OR WHEN WE NEED SUPPORT.  THE SUPPORT CAN BE NECESSARY EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY OR PSYCHOLOGICALLY.  I FEEL LOST AT TIMES IN MY LIFE.  BEING PERMANENTLY DISABLED IS DIFFICULT.  WE STOP CARING ABOUT THE THINGS  WE USED TO ENJOY. OUR CHILDREN GROW UP AND LEAVE TO FORM THEIR OWN FAMILIES.  THERE OFTEN ARE OTHERS THAT WE CAN REACH OUT TO. BUT DO NOT. 

IT MAY FEEL LIKE OUR WORLD IS FALLING APART.  HOW DO WE HANDLE THIS?  WE REACH OUT FOR HELP FROM A PROFESSIONAL.  THEY CANNOT FIX US.  WE MUST “FIX OURSELVES”.  WHAT A PROFESSIONAL CAN DO IS PROVIDE CLARITY AND DIRECTION, TEACHING YOU WAYS TO CALM DOWN IF, FOR EXAMPLE YOU SUFFER WITH ANXIETY.  BECAUSE COUNSELORS AND MANY PSYCHOLOGISTS ARE NOT DOCTN AREAS WE MAYORS AND NOT ABLE TO PRESCRIBE ANTIDEPRESSANTS, OR ANTI-ANXIETY MEDICATION, THEY DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO KNOW IF YOU NEED MEDICATION AS PART OF AN OVERALL TREATMENT PLAN.  THEY ALSO CAN PROVIDE EMDR TREATMENT FOR TRAUMA AND NARRATIVE PSYCHOLOGY TO HELP THOSE ISSUES SURFACE SO TOGETHER, YOU CAN DEAL WITH YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES THIS REQUIRES DILIGENCE ON YOUR PART TO GET SUPPORT WHEN IT IS NEEDED.  SOMETIMES, TALKING WITH A FRIEND, JUST ISN’T ENOUGH.

THEY CAN’T FIX ISSUES, BUT TEACH US TO COPE WITH THEM.  COGNITIVE THERAPY, ER THERE ARE TIMES WE MAY NEED SOMEONE TO ADDRESS WITH US WHAT THEY SEE OBJECTIVELY WITHIN US.  WE MAY BE IN DENIAL AND SADLY, THIS IS THE VERY TIME WE NEED SUPPORT. WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SUPPORT IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND THE DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF SUPPORT? 

WEBSTER DEFINITION FOR SUPPORT-1.  GIVE ASSISTANCE TO, ESPECIALLY FINANCIALLY, ENABLE TO FUNCTION OR ACT.  2. GIVE APPROVAL, COMFORT OR ENCOURAGEMENT TO. (PARTIAL).

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF SUPPORT-A PLATFORM OF INDIVIDUALS INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND LOVED ONES WHO HELP YOU IN TIMES OF NEED.  

SUPPORT FROM OTHERS IS NOTHING TO FEEL ASHAMED OF WHEN YOU NEED HELP.  THEY WOULD RATHER HELP YOU THAN SEE YOU COPE WITH YOUR ISSUE ALONE.  THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT.   SUPPORT CAN BE GIVEN LOVINGLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND EVEN PHYSICAL HELP QUALIFIES IN AREAS WE NEED SUPPORT.  IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REACH OUT WHEN WE NEED TO WITH OTHERS.  THANKS FOR READING, SAMANTHA

POSITIVITY

ATTACHMENT

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS ATTACHMENT.  THIS POST FOCUSES ON MATERNAL BONDING BETWEEN CHILD AND CAREGIVER AND THE OUTCOMES OF IMPROPERLY BONDING OR ATTACHING TO  A CAREGIVER.  ATTACHMENT DISORDER IS THE OUTCOME OF UNHEALTHY BONDING AS A BABY WITH A CAREGIVER.  BONDING AND ATTACHMENT ARE CRUCIAL AND NECESSARY FOR ALL SPECIES.  HUMAN BEINGS, ESPECIALLY BABIES NEED ATTACHMENT.  BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, TAKE A LOOK AT THE MEANING OF ATTACHMENT THAT APPLIES IN THE WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF ATTACHMENT-(PARTIAL)  AN EXPERIENCE, FEELING OR EMOTION SHARED WITH ANOTHER HUMAN BEING, PARTICULARLY A CAREGIVER. 

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF ATTACHMENT-A RELATIONSHIP THAT HAPPENS BETWEEN A MOTHER, OR FATHER AND THEIR CHILD.  2.  A RELATIONSHIP OF CONNECTION THAT OCCURS BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE WITH EMOTIONS, LOVE ABLE TO ALSO BE INDEPENDENT OF ONE ANOTHER. 

ATTACHMENT IS NECESSARY, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT BOND OF ALL IS THE ATTACHMENT WHICH EXISTS BETWEEN MOTHER AND BABY.  INFANTS BEGIN BONDING AND ATTACHING IN THE WOMB BEFORE BIRTH .  THIS IS ESPECIALLY STRONG WHEN OXYTOCIN IS PRODUCED.  (BREAST FEEDING BABIES).  THERE ARE MANY OTHER WAYS FOR THE CHILD TO ATTACH EMOTIONALLY, ESPECIALLY IN OUR FORMATIVE YEARS.   OUR FORMATIVE YEARS START FROM BIRTH TO THREE YEARS OLD, AND CONTINUE FROM 3 TO 6 YEARS OLD. 

CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY BABIES INTERACT WITH THEIR CAREGIVER OR MOTHER BY CRYING.  CRYING IS ONE OF THE ONLY WAYS A VERY YOUNG BABY HAS TO ATTACHES BONDING W THEIR CAREGIVER.  IF CRYING IS IGNORED BY A MOTHER OR FATHER FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, THIS CAN BE THE BEGINNING OF WHAT LATER IS KNOWN AS ATTACHMENT DISORDER.  ATTACHMENT DISORDER HAPPENS WHEN BONDING DID NOT OCCUR PROPERLY WHEN A CHILD WAS AT HIS OR HER YOUNGEST AGE, BABYHOOD. 

WHEN A LACK OF MATERNAL BONDING PLAYS ITSELF OUT  FOR AN ADULT,  ONE SUFFERS WITH ATTACHMENT DISORDER.  ATTACHMENT DISORDER WAS DISCOVERED AND LABELED IN 2014.  IT IS SEEN IN ADULTS WHO DID NOT BOND APPROPRIATELY WITH THEIR CAREGIVERS AND IS PLAYED OUT IN THEIR RELATIONSHIPS.  ATTACHMENT DISORDER IS BEST DESCRIBED BY THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES:

EXAMPLE A-  KATIE DID NOT BOND OR ATTACH WITH HER MOTHER PROPERLY AND HER NEEDS WERE IGNORED.  SHE ENTERS INTO A SERIES OF BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS THAT PLAY OUT WITH HER BEING DESPERATELY CLINGY AND INSECURE. 

EXAMPLE B.  SALLY IS NOT ABLE TO SHOW AFFECTION PROPERLY TO HER LOVED ONES AND DOESN’T ALLOW HERSELF TO GET TOO CLOSE IN HER RELATIONSHIPS BECAUSE WHEN SHE HAS DONE THIS, IT CAUSES HER TO RUN HOT OR COLD IN SHOWING EMOTION TO HER PARTNER.  THIS IS ALSO KNOWN AS REACTIVE ATTACHMENT DISORDER.  SALLY HAS A HARD TIME SHOWING ANY EMOTION AND INTERACTION WITH SOMEONE SHE LOVES. THIS AFFECTS HER WHEN THERE IN HER ABILITY TO MAKE  EYE CONTACT.  CONNECTION EQUALS PAIN.  THEREFORE IT IS SO HARD FOR SALLY TO CONNECT AND BOND WITH ANY PARTNER. 

SPECIFIC SIGNS OF ATTACHMENT DISORDER INCLUDE FEELING EMPTY INSIDE, FEELINGS OF WORTHLESSNESS, FEELING JOYLESS, APPEARING LISTLESS, COGNITIVE AND LANGUAGE DELAYS IN CHILDHOOD, IN CAPACITY TO DISPLAY EMOTIONS IN A HEALTHY, LOVING WAY  CAUSING ONE TO SELF COMFORT THROUGH ROCKING BACK AND FORTH, STROKING ONE’S ARM AND OTHER SELF COMFORTING MEASURES.  

ULTIMATELY, ATTACHMENT DISORDER, OR A CHILD TO ATTACHING PROPERLY, RESULTS IN ONE’S OWN INABILITY TO COMMUNICATE THEIR NEEDS, SHOW EMOTION, CONTROL ANGER WHICH IS DISPROPORTIONATE TO A SITUATION, AVERSION TO HUMAN TOUCH AND APPEARING COLD OR UNEMOTIONAL.   

ATTACHMENT IS NECESSARY IN ALL MANKIND, AND A PERSON WHO SUFFERS FROM A LACK OF  ATTACHMENT AND BONDING WITH THEIR CAREGIVER HAS DIFFICULTY FORMING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS. FORTUNATELY, MOST CHILDREN SEEM TO OVERCOME ISSUES OF ATTACHMENT AND ONLY 10% OF CHILDREN WHO ARE EMOTIONALLY ABUSED END UP SUFFERING WITH ATTACHMENT DISORDER.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING TODAY.  T

THIS IS A WIDELY UNTOUCHED  AND UNKNOWN PROBLEM TO MANY MAKING RESEARCH FOR IT RARE.

PRINCIPLES DO WE COMPROMISE THEM?

by

DO WE COMPROMISE OUR PRINCIPLES?  WHAT EXACTLY DO THEY MEAN AND HOW IMPORTANT ARE THEY TO US?  SOMETIMES, HOW IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES ARE TO US, DETERMINE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS WE TO US TO HAVE OUR OWN VALUES.  PRINCIPLES ARE THE WHOLE BASIS OF WHO WE ARE AND WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US IN OUR OWN LIVES.  “PRINCIPLES ARE SOMETHING WE SHOULD NEVER COMPROMISE.”  I  FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I KNOW IN MY PAST WHENEVER I HAVE COME EVEN CLOSE TO COMPROMISING MY OWN PRINCIPLES, OR, IN SOME CASES, DECIDED TO IGNORE THEM COMPLETELY IS WHEN I HAVE FELT THE WORST ABOUT MYSELF. 

I FELT FULL OF GUILT AND BETRAYAL NOT TOWARDS OTHERS BUT TOWARDS MYSELF.  THE PRINCIPLES WE GROW UP FORMING,  ARE WHAT THIS REGIMENTATION IS PARTLY BASED ON. ANOTHER REASON WHICH WE DEVELOP PRINCIPLES COMES FROM WHAT WE ARE TAUGHT IS RIGHT OR WRONG AND IF WE SAW OUR PARENTAL FIGURE FOLLOWING THE RULES THEY ARE TEACHING.   

WHAT WE LEARN FROM THE LEADERS IN OUR CHILDHOOD ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS IF IT IS NOT JUST WORDS, BUT THE ACTIONS OF THE PARENTS REFLECT WHAT THEY WANT OUR PRINCIPLES TO BE. IS ONE PART OF HOW OUR PRINCIPLES ARE DETERMINED.  THE OTHER HALF OF WHAT DETERMINES OUR PERSONAL PRINCIPLES IS OUR PERSONALITY STAMPED IN WHO WE ARE.  I HAVE HAD FRIENDS THAT HAVE ALSO INFLUENCED MY PRINCIPLES.  SOME FRIENDS, THE FRIENDS I ADMIRED, SET SOME OF THE EXAMPLES I PERCEIVED POSITIVELY.  THOSE PRINCIPLES SHAPED MY PRINCIPLES  THAT STUCK MORE SO IN MY TEENAGE YEARS.  I WOULD OFTEN FIND MYSELF CONSCIOUSLY JUDGING THESE INDIVIDUALS AFTER ANALYZING THEIR PRINCIPLES. 

I  SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE INDEPENDENT DEVELOPING MY PRINCIPLES IN MY TEENAGE YEARS WHICH ARE THE FORMATIVE YEARS I BELIEVE OUR PRINCIPLES STICK.  I FOUND MYSELF INSTEAD,  ASSESSING OTHERS TO DETERMINE WHAT I LIKED OR DID NOT LIKE ABOUT MY BELIEFS INCLUDING LOOKING AT MY OLDER SIBLINGS.  JUDGEMENT SHOULD BE THEIR OWN  FOR THEIR MORALS AND VALUES WHICH I BELIEVE ULTIMATELY FORM OUR PRINCIPLES. I PERSONALLY HOWEVER, DETERMINED WHAT I BELIEVED IN BY WATCHING OTHERS, WHAT THEY DID WRONG OR RIGHT IN MY BOOK AND LOOKED AT THEIR MISTAKES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS INSTEAD OF MY OWN.  I THINK THIS IS BECAUSE I LACKED SELF-CONFIDENCE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND MY TEENAGE YEARS GROWING UP.  IF MY FRIENDS WERE SOMEONE WHO EXERCISED BEHAVIOR THAT I JUDGED AS RIGHT OR WRONG, I DEVELOPED A PRINCIPLE FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE.  MY PERSPECTIVE WAS DETERMINED THROUGH THE PEOPLE I ADMIRED.  I COULD SEE HOWEVER, THEIR PRINCIPLES WERE DEVELOPED FROM THEIR OWN MISTAKES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS, NOT BY WATCHING ANOTHER PERSON DECIDE THEIR PRINCIPLES WERE FROM WHAT THEY EXPERIENCED.  I LATER IN LIFE IN MY COLLEGE YEARS GAINED ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO DECIDE MY BELIEF SYSTEM THROUGH MY OWN MISTAKES.  IT IS OUR BELIEF SYSTEM THAT ULTIMATELY DETERMINES OUR PERSONAL PRINCIPLES.  A BELIEF SYSTEM CAN BE SO STRONG, IT CAN CAUSE SOME INDIVIDUALS TO SEARCH FOR THE SAME BELIEF SYSTEM IN OTHERS, AND UNTIL THEY FIND OTHERS WHOSE BELIEFS ARE SIMILAR, THEY CONTINUE TO BE LONERS.  WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT EITHER THROUGH OUR BELIEF SYSTEMS AND EXPERIENCES AND OUR PRINCIPLES.  I THINK WHEN WE FIND OURSELVES COMPROMISING THOSE BELIEFS AND PRINCIPLES, WE BEGIN TO COMPROMISE OUR OWN BELIEFS.  WHEN WE COMPROMISE OUR OWN BELIEVES, WE ARE ULTIMATELY NOT HAPPY WITH WHAT WE ARE DOING AND HOW THIS BEHAVIOR REFLECTS ON US.  WE WEAR OUR NEW ACTIONS LIKE WRINKLED CLOTHES, CHANGE US TEMPORARILY BUT NOT PERMANENTLY.  TO END WITH, WHAT DO I THINK ABOUT THE ORIGINAL QUESTION WHICH WAS, “DO WE COMPROMISE OUR PRINCIPLES?”  WE ARE ULTIMATELY UNHAPPY WITH WHO WE START TO BECOME.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING!  SAMANTHA/DAILYWISDOMWORDS.COM

WOUNDS (WHAT DO PHYSICAL WOUNDS AND EMOTIONAL WOUNDS HAVE IN COMMON?)

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS “WOUNDS”.  I AM NOT REFERRING TO A PHYSICAL WOUND, BUT THE SAME STEPS TO HEAL ONE, DO APPLY TO OUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS.  IF A WOUND IS BLEEDING, AND THE BLEEDING DOESN’T STOP, IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS WE NEED TO TAKE ADDITIONAL STEPS TO GET THAT BLEEDING TO STOP SUCH AS STITCHES AT AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.  IT IS NO DIFFERENT WHEN WE HAVE PSYCHOLOGICAL WOUNDS.  IF THEY ARE NOT TREATED FIRST BY ACKNOWLEDGING THEM, THEN TAKING STEPS TO HEAL THEM THEY WILL TAINT OUR PERCEPTION OF OTHERS, LEVEL OF TRUST, AND ABILITY TO HAVE SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS OF ANY KIND. 

LET ME WALK THIS THROUGH.  FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED AS A CHILD.  I NEVER TELL ANYONE MY SECRET BECAUSE OF SHAME AND HUMILIATION.  I ACTUALLY PUSH IT OUT OF MY MIND EVERY TIME IT SURFACES IN MY MIND.  I CAN’T BRING MYSELF TO THINK ABOUT IT, MUST LESS GET HELP TO HEAL THIS WOUND.  IT LITERALLY BEGINS TO BLEED INTO OTHER AREAS OF MY LIFE.  I AM NOW IN MY FIRST SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP.  HOWEVER, SOME PART OF ME “HOLDS BACK”, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO SEXUAL INTIMACY. 

I HAD HELD INSIDE WHAT HAPPENED  TO ME AND BURIED IT, AND YEARS LATER, BECAUSE I DIDN’T TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO HEAL THE WOUNDS THAT REMAINED, THEY WERE STILL RAW AND OPEN. 

WHAT STEPS SHOULD I HAVE TAKEN?  THE FIRST STEP WOULD HAVE BEEN TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED AT THE TIME. THE NEXT STEP WOULD HAVE BEEN TO TELL A PARENT OR ADULT I TRUSTED.  THE NEXT STEP WOULD HAVE BEEN TO TALK ABOUT IT WITH A TRUSTED ADULT AND THEN GET TO A PROFESSIONAL EQUIPPED TO GIVE ME THE PROPER HELP I NEEDED.  WOUNDS THAT ARE DEEP AND EMOTIONAL END UP BEING “REPRESSED MEMORIES” OFTEN WHEN NOT ADDRESSED ESPECIALLY AS A CHILD. DO YOU SEE THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL WOUNDS WE GET?  WE CAN’T LEAVE EMOTIONAL WOUNDS TO FESTER IN OUR MINDS EVEN WHEN WE PUSH THEM BACK TO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS BECAUSE THEY DON’T EVER JUST “GO AWAY”. 

I FINALLY SAW A THERAPIST AS AN ADULT FOR SOMETHING THAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME AS A CHILD, IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO DRAG THE MEMORIES UP.  MANY DETAILS OF THIS SEXUAL ABUSE CAME OUT I HAD BLOCKED OUT OR FORGOTTEN OVER THE YEARS.  I LEARNED BECAUSE I HAD TOLD NO ONE AND THE EMOTIONAL WOUND CONTINUED TO FESTER, I WAS EMOTIONALLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ANY RELATIONSHIP.  THE SEXUAL ABUSE WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO ME “HOLDING BACK” EMOTIONALLY.  IF YOU KEEP A SECRET TO YOURSELF, BE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH WHATEVER IT IS AT YOUR OWN CONSEQUENCES.  THE SECRETS WE KEEP ARE EVENTUALLY THE DETRIMENTS WE EXPERIENCE OFTEN WITHOUT CORRELATING THE TWO.  THAT IS WHY EMOTIONAL WOUNDS AS DEEP AS THE EXAMPLE I GAVE, NEED TO BE DEALT WITH BEST WITH A PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST OR THERAPIST. 

IN TIME, WE DO HEAL.  WE RECOGNIZE DANGEROUS PATTERNS BEFORE THEY AFFECT OUR RELATIONSHIPS.  WE THEN FIND STRENGTH WITHIN BECAUSE WE ARE GIVEN TOOLS AND SKILLS TO COPE WITH OUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS. 

THERE ARE MANY OTHER EXAMPLES I COULD USE, BUT I THINK YOU ALL GET THE GIST OF THIS.  WE MUST NOT STUFF IN OUR EMOTIONAL ABUSES OR PSYCHOLOGICAL OR PHYSICAL ABUSE.  ONCE WE DEAL WITH THESE TRAGEDIES THROUGH WHATEVER STEPS NECESSARY TO LEARN COPING SKILLS, UNHEALTHY PATTERN RECOGNITION, AND WORK TOWARDS HEALING, WE GO FROM “VICTIM TO SURVIVOR”!  IN THE END, WE WIN.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING.   SAMANTHA/DAILYWISDOMWORDS.COM. 

 

LIFE CAN BE FULL OF HAPPINESS OR TRAGEDY.  IT IS UP TO US TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES TO HEAL OUR EMOTIONAL WOUNDS.  BENEATH THIS POST, THERE IS A PLACE TO “JOIN THE DISCUSSION”.  THE EXAMPLE I GAVE IS TRUE, BY THE WAY.  IF I CAN SHARE MY STORY, YOU CAN AS WELL.  I AM NO STRONGER, BIGGER, BETTER, OR SMARTER THAN YOU.  I JUST CHOSE TO FIND A SOLUTION.  PLEASE BE AWARE OF OUR “WISE ADVICE” WEBPAGE AS PART OF YOUR OVERALL MEMBERSHIP TO OUR WRITING COMMUNITY OF AUTHORS, POETS, AND OTHER CREATIVES.  NOT ONLY WILL WE HELP YOU BECOME THE WRITER YOU WANT TO BE, BUT WE ALSO DO IT BY OFFERING MANY OPTIONS INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATES WHO VOLUNTEER WITH 100 % CONFIDENTIALITY.

VULNERABILITY- IS IT A STRENGTH OR WEAKNESS?”

by
vulnerability

VULNERABILITY IS A DEEPLY SEEDED EMOTIONAL RESPONSE WE ALL EXPERIENCE IF WE ALLOW OURSELF TO BE IN TOUCH WITH OUR AUTHENTICITY.  THE BIGGEST MISNOMER ABOUT VULNERABILITY IS IT IS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR WEAKNESS.  IN FACT, PEOPLE THAT ALLOW THEMSELVES TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS AND FEELING IT ARE VERY COURAGEOUS. IT ISN’T ALWAYS  EASY TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO BE EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY VULNE RABLE TO OTHERS CLOSE TO OUR HEART.  WE ARE SHARING OUR VERY ESSENCE OF BEING, NOT OUR IDEAL SELF THE EGO PERCEIVES BUT OUR AUTHENTIC SELF.  OUR “AUTHENTIC SELF IS SIMPLY WHO WE REALLY ARE WHEN WE STRIP AWAY FAKE PERSONA.  WE SHARE FULLY WITH A LOVED ONE(S) WHO WE ARE, BOTH STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. 

VULNERABILITY IS A SIGN OF SELF-CONFIDENCE AND FEELING SAFE TO SHARE YOUR AUTHENTICITY WITH ANOTHER.  THOSE OF US CAPABLE OF BEING MOST VULNERABLE ARE ACTUALLY IN BETTER EMOTIONAL HEALTH THAN THOSE WHO ARE FEARFUL TO SHARE AN END UP SHARING IT IN ANOTHER WAY WHICH ISN’T BEST FOR OUR HIGHEST SELF.  UNDERNEATH THE FEAR WE CREATE WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW US TO FEEL SAFE TO SHARE OUR AUTHENTIC SELVES IS PAIN AND BETRAYAL IN PAST RELATIONSHIPS.  IF WE HAD HEALED FROM THIS TRAUMA, WE WOULD BE CAPABLE ENOUGH TO SHARE, ALLOWING  OURSELVES TO SHARE THIS VULNERABILITY AND LOVE FULLY AGAIN.   

BABIES ARE EXTREMELY VULNERABLE WHEN THEY ARE BORN RELYING ON A CARE-GIVER TO FEED THEM, CLOTHE AND LOVE THEM.  WE NEED TO BE HEALTHY INSIDE TO SHARE WHO WE ARE AND TRUST ANOTHER TO SHARE WHO WE ARE.  IN ORDER TO GROW. IF WE HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED OR ABANDONED IN SOME WAY DURING OUR FORMATIVE YEARS, (0-3 YEARS OLD), THE EFFECTS CAN BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR PERSONALITY AND ABILITY TO BE INTIMATE AND SHARE VULNERABILITIES WITH TRUSTED INDIVIDUALS.   “TO SHARE OURSELF INTIMATELY WITH ANOTHER, TAKES COURAGE AND STRENGTH.” 

IF WE HAVE BEEN  HURT IN A PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP IN SOME WAY, OR WE WERE NEVER EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE OURSELVES, THEN WE NEVER REALLY ALLOWED OURSELVES THE ABILITY TO TRULY LOVE SOMEONE.  ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT REASONS WE SHOULD NOT JUMP FROM ONE RELATIONSHIP WHERE SOMEONE HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF US OR OUR TRUST WITH THEM WAS COMPROMISED, WITHOUT TIME TO HEAL, WE WILL SIMPLY CARRY THIS INTO THE NEXT RELATIONSHIP.  IF WE BLAME OURSELVES FOR BROKEN TRUST, WE ARE MORE LIKELY TO FIND SOMEONE WHO ENDS UP BEING EMOTIONALLY  UNSTABLE OR ABUSIVE.  THIS IS BECAUSE WE DID NOT GIVE OURSELF PERMISSION TO HEAL OR DIDN’T TAKE THE NECESSARY TIME ALONE WE NEEDED TO RECOVER.  VULNERABILITY IS AN EXPRESSION OF WEAKNESS TO SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT HEALTHY EMOTIONALLY.  WHY WOULD WE CHOOSE THIS KIND OF PERSON?  WHY WOULD WE FIND IT NECESSARY TO SET OURSELVES UP FOR PAIN IN THE NEXT RELATIONSHIP?   

IF WE HURT ANOTHER PERSON BY BETRAYING THEIR TRUST IT MANIFESTS IN SOME WAY WITHIN US.  SOMETIMES, WHEN WE DON’T MAKE AMENDS WBY FORGIVING OTHERS FOR MAKING MISTAKES, WE WILL END UP HURTING OURSELF.  THE UNRESOLVED ISSUES ARE CARRIED FORWARD AND MANIFEST THEMSELVES IN VARIOUS WAYS.  THE MOST COMMON WAY WE EXPRESS OURSELVES, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS OURSELVES WHO WE NEED TO FORGIVE IS EXHIBITED IN OUR NEXT RELATIONSHIP AS “ROLE SWITCHING”.  INSTEAD OF BEING THE ONE WHO HURTS THE OTHER PERSON IN OUR NEXT RELATIONSHIP, WE END UP PICKING SOMEONE WHO WILL  HURT US. WE WILL BECOME THE VICTIM INSTEAD OF THE TRANSGRESSOR.  THIS IS WHY TAKING TIME TO HEAL AND FORGIVE THE ONES WHO HURT US OR FORGIVE OURSELVES IS CRUCIAL TO BECOME EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY.  WITHOUT DOING THIS WORK AND MENDING OURSELVES EMOTIONALLY, AS WELL AS  TIME TO HEAL  BEFORE JUMPING INTO ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP, WE SIMPLY CARRY OUR PAST PROBLEMS INTO OUR PRESENT  RETIONSHIP REPEATING THE SAME PATTERN OVER AND OVER.  THERE IS ALMOST A GAURANTEE WE WILL NOT CHOOSE SOMEONE WHO TREATS US PROPERLY, OR WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO  FULLY LOVE AND CARE ABOUT THEM.

AS MENTIONED, WE DO NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TIME TO HEAL OR FORGIVE OURSELVES FOR PAST TRANSGRESSIONS  BEFORE MOVING INTO ANOTHER EMOTIONAL RELATIONSHIP.  WE CAN THEN BE VULNERABLE WITH SOMEONE WE TRUST ONCE AGAIN.  WHEN WE TO ANOTHER IS WE DON’T ALLOW OURSELVES TO HEAL EMOTIONALLY. THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER IF OUR TRUST HAS BEEN VIOLATED IN SOME WAY.  AFTER GETTING OUT OF A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS UNSTABLE OR A RELATIONSHIP WHICH WE DON’T FEEL SAFE BEING VULNERABLE,   WE EVENTUALLY BUILD WALLS AROUND OUR DEEPEST EMOTIONS.  VULNERABILITY IS COURAGEOUS, BUT IF SOMEONE WE LOVE USES OUR VULNERABILITY TO HURT US, WE WILL NOT BE SO EASY TO SHARE THIS VULNERABILITY  IN OUR  RELATIONSHIP,  VULNERABILITY IS ABOUT SHARING OUR AUTHENTIC SELF.  IF YOU WISH TO BE WHO YOU PICTURE YOUR IDEAL SELF, IT TAKES WORK, CONFIDENCE AND AUTHENTICITY.  “TODAY YOU MAY FEEL BROKEN BUT WITH TIME AND EMOTIONAL HEALING, WILL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO HEAL, REPAIRING THE FULL PICTURE”.  SL

IMPRINTING “DO YOU KNOW HOW TO IMPRINT?”

by

WHAT IS “IMPRINTING”?  IMPRINTING IS PART OF AN OVERALL PLAN THAT LEADS US TO SUCCESS, STEP FOUR OF THE AFFIRMATION PROCESS.  WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I TOOK A SUMMER JOB SELLING TIMESHARE.  TIMESHARE IS SOLD BY SENDING MAIL TO A PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE OFFERING THEM SOMETHING OF VALUE (GIFT) TO LISTEN TO A TWO HOUR PRESENTATION.   IT WAS THE SUMMER AFTER MY SECOND YEAR OF COLLEGE. 

I LEARNED MORE FROM A TRAINING COURSE THE TIMESHARE OWNERS INSISTED ALL SALESPEOPLE TAKE.  I UTILIZED THIS KNOWLEDGE OFF AND ON THROUGHOUT MY SALES CAREER LEARNING MORE IN THOSE THREE DAYS THAN THE PREVIOUS TWO YEARS OF FULL-TIME COLLEGE. BETTER YET, IT APPLIED TO MY LIFE AND PROVIDED ACTION TOOLS TOWARDS REACHING MY GOALS IN SALES AND MY PERSONAL LIFE.  AFFIRMATIONS ARE VERY POWERFUL.  THERE ARE FOUR STEPS TO THEM WITH THE LAST ONE BEING “IMPRINTING” GOALS BY FEELING THE EMOTIONS YOU’D FEEL WHEN YOU REACHED YOUR GOALS, (STEP ONE) IN THE AFFIRMATION PROCESS. 

LOU TICE AND THE “PACIFIC INSTITUTE” TAUGHT TECHNIQUES SUCH AS IMPRINTING AS A PART OF A PROCESS TO ACHIEVE GOALS MAKING THEM MY REALITY.  GOAL SETTING, WRITTEN AFFIRMATIONS, VISUALIZATION FOLLOWED BY IMPRINTING WERE NECESSARY STEPS TOWARD MY OVERALL SUCCESS ACCORDING TO THE SPEAKER’S TEACHING THE COURSE.   HONESTLY, THE FIRST DAY OF THE COURSE I THOUGHT THESE FOLKS WERE A LITTLE “OFF THE WALL”.  AS EACH SPEAKER TALKED, I REALIZED THERE WAS SOMETHING AMAZING IN THEIR EYES.  THEY BELIEVED IN WHAT THEY SPOKE ABOUT AND HAD ACHIEVED THEIR OWN PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL GOALS. 

AFTER THREE DAYS OF TRAINING, I PUT THEIR TECHNIQUES TO THE TEST.  MY SALES DOUBLED BY FOLLOWING THESE COURSES AS I USED THE POWER OF SUGGESTION AND REPETITION.  I FOUND THAT UTILIZING THESE FOUR STEPS ALONG WITH REPETITION OF THESE STEPS DAILY HELPED ME CULTIVATE A WINNING ATTITUDE, REACHING MY OWN GOALS.  WHAT SOME OF US DON’T KNOW IS THAT THE SUBCONSCIOUS IS MORE POWERFUL TO SUGGESTION BY FAR THAN THE CONSCIOUS MIND. FOR EXAMPLE, LOOK AT THE POWER OF HYPNOSIS.  WHEN WE ARE HYPNOTIZED, THE TARGET IS TO PUT US IN A RELAXED STATE TO REACH THE SUBCONSCIOUS WHICH FEEDS ON SUGGESTIONS. STEP FOUR,  IMPRINTIJNG ALLOWS OUR SUBCONSCIOUS TO WORK IN OUR FAVOR.  TO IMPRINT IS TO FEED THE SUBCONSCIOUS WITH THE EMOTIONS WE WOULD FEEL AFTER ACHIEVING OUR GOAL USING  AFFIRMATIONS, VISUALIZATION AND YES, IMPRINTING.  

SKEPTICAL?  I THOUGHT THE FIRST DAY OF THE THREE DAYS LISTENING TO SPEAKERS REPRESENTING THE “PACIFIC INSTITUTE” TAUGHT HOW POWERFUL A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE WAS AND THE SUCCESSFUL LIFE THESE LIVED DUE TO THE AFFIRMATION PROCESS AND ACHIEVING ONE’S GOALS. TO SUCCEED WE MUST FIRST HAVE A CLEAR AND CONCISE GOAL WRITTEN DOWN.  THE SECOND STEP IS TO WRITE IT AGAIN AS PART OF YOUR PRESENT LIFE AS IF IT IS A PART OF YOUR LIFE TODAY.  3.  THE THIRD STEP IS VISUALIZATION.  WE VISUALIZE OUR AFFIRMATION.  WE DO THIS BY FEELING THE EMOTIONS WE FEEL AFTER ACHIEVING THE GOAL, SPECIFIC MENTAL PICTURE OF HOW THIS AFFIRMATION INTEGRATES  ITSELF INTO EVERYDAY  AND VISUALIZING OUR SPECIFIC SUCCESS WITH THIS AFFIRMATION.  IMPRINTING IS THE FINAL STEP, ACTUALLY PICTURING AND FEELING THE RESULTS OF YOUR SUCCESS.  THIS ALLOWS THE AFFIRMATION TO IMPRINT INTO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS AND IS VITAL TO ACHIEVE OUR AFFIRMATION.  WE TAKE AND DO THESE FOR STEPS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. 

THESE STEPS ARE BEST PRACTICED  EARLY IN THE MORNING OR RIGHT BEFORE WE GO TO BED WHEN OUR MIND IS RELAXED ENOUGH FOR THE SUBCONSCIOUS TO RECEIVE THE INFORMATION.  THIS  IS  BASED ON FEELING THE EMOTIONS YOU WOULD FEEL HAD YOU ALREADY ACHIEVED A GOAL.  WE ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO SUGGESTION TO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS  BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP OR WHEN WE FIRST WAKE UP IN THE MORNING  WE WANT TO BE IN A RELAXED  MINDSET TO RECEIVE THE INFORMATION THROUGH EMOTION AND OUR OWN SUGGESTIVE PICTURES CREATED WHEN VISUALIZING INTO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS.  IN OTHER WORDS, WE IMPRINT OUR SUCCESS INTO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS AND CONSCIOUS MIND.  THIS IS VERY POWERFUL AND THE SPECIFIC TECHNIQUE WORKS WHEN PRACTICED WITH AN OPEN MIND WITH VIGILANCE.  “I DO THIS AND I ALREADY AM THIS”. 

AFFIRMATIONS ARE JUST ONE STEP OF AN OVERALL PROCESS.  IF YOU WANT TO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE GOALS, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE TRYING THIS DAILY OVER TIME?  SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR ADVOCATE COUNSELORS FOR MEMBERS ONLY,

DETOURS “GETTING BACK ON TRACK AFTER UNANTICIPATED LIFE EVENTS”

by

ONE OF THE EASIEST THINGS IN LIFE IS TO SET GOALS.  ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS IN LIFE IS TO FOLLOW THEM WITHOUT A DETOUR OF SOME KIND.  WHAT CAUSES US TO “TAKE A DETOUR” FROM REACHING OUR DREAMS AND GOALS?  IT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU TO KNOW DETOURS ARE VERY COMMON, AND WHEN THEY OCCUR, (detours) THEY ARE ALWAYS WITHIN OUR POWER TO CHANGE. GETTING BACK ON TRACK IS WITHIN OUR POWER TO CHANGE.  HOWEVER, SOME DETOURS ARE HARDER TO GET NEW DIRECTION TOWARDS. 

REMEMBER, IN LIFE WE ALWAYS HAVE THE POWER OF CHOICE.  HOWEVER, TO MAKE CHOICES IDEAL TO REACH OUR GOALS AND FOLLOW THE PERFECT PLAN HAVE DETOURS ALONG THE WAY THAT WE AREN’T IN CONTROL OF.  THE KEY IS HOW QUICKLY WE GET “BACK ON TRACK”.  FOR EXAMPLE, LET’S SAY OUR GOAL IS TO BUILD A BUSINESS.  THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN DECIDE TO DO, BUT LIFE EVENTS SUCH AS JOB LOSS, LACK OF CAPITAL, POOR BUSINESS  PLANNING, ECONOMY, AND PERSONAL TRAGEDY CAUSE DETOURS IN OUR PLANS. 

WE MAY FEEL WE ARE IN CONTROL OF ALL OF OUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS AND YES, GOALS.  WE HAVE A HUGE SAY IN THIS BUT WE ARE ALSO HUMAN BEINGS AND ARE NOT PERFECT.  “PERFECT CHOICES AND PERFECTION IN HUMANS DO NOT EXIST.”  LUCK, EDUCATION, GOAL SETTING, AND ABILITY TO AVOID DETOURS OR TO FIND ANOTHER DIRECTION IN OUR LIFE DOES.  THIS IS A BLOG, WHICH I OFTEN DO RESEARCH FOR BEFORE WRITING ON THE TOPIC.  TODAY, THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS AS TO WHAT CREATES SUCCESS AND ABILITY TO GET BACK ON TRACK WHEN A DETOUR IN OUR LIFE HAS OCCURRED. 

EVERYONE THAT READS THIS OR FOLLOWS ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA IS AWARE I LOST MY SISTER ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS AGO.  UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY HAVE LOST SOMEONE WHO YOU LOVED DEEPLY AND GREW UP WITH OR WATCHED GROW UP, IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NOT JUST GRIEVE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME RESOLVING OUR PAIN AND MOVE ON. WE ALL GRIEVE DIFFERENTLY.  ONE THING THAT LEADS US ON A DETOUR FROM OUR ASPIRATIONS ARE LIFE EVENTS IS DEATH OF A LOVED ONE AND UNEXPECTED TRAGEDY. 

SOMETIMES WE DO NOT REALIZE THE IMPACT THESE KINDS OF LIFE EVENTS HAVE ON US.  LONG TERM TRAUMA AND GRIEVING OF A LOVED ONE SUCH AS A SISTER, MOTHER, WIDOW OR WIDOWER, A CHILD LOSING A MOTHER, OR A MOTHER LOSING A CHILD, FINANCIAL TRAGEDY, ALONG WITH UNEXPECTED HEALTH ISSUES AND MENTAL HEALTH ARE ALL PART OF TRAGEDIES WHICH OPEN THE DOOR FOR DETOURS IN OUR GOALS AND PLANS.  BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEBSTER AND DAILY WISDOM WORD MEANING OF DETOURS. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF DETOUR-1.  A LONG OR ROUNDABOUT ROUTE THAT IS TAKEN TO AVOID SOMETHING OR TO VISIT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY.  2.  AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE FOR US TO USE TO AVOID TRAFFIC. 

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION-EVENTS OR ROADBLOCKS IN LIFES PLANS. 

SOMETIMES IN LIFE, WE MUST TAKE A DETOUR TO GET OURSELVES TOGETHER AND IT MAY NOT BE EASY.  HOWEVER, DETOURS ARE ALSO A PART OF LIFE.  HOW WE DEAL WITH THEM IS A CHOICE.  WE MAY FIND OUR GOALS AND DREAMS CHANGE WITH OUR EXPERIENCES.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE CLEAR WHEN WE FIND OURSELVES MAKING CHANGES SO WE CAN DECIDE IF WE WANT TO PURSUE ANOTHER ROUTE IN LIFE.  THANKS FOR READING.  SAMANTHA

CONFUSION “MEDICAL REASONS WE FEEL CONFUSED, A SYMPTOM OF DEMENTIA”

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS CONFUSION.  WHY DO WE FEEL CONFUSED, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT INVOLVES MAKING A DECISION?  IS EXPERIENCING CONFUSION OFTEN, A SIGN OF AN UNDERLYING CONDITION MEDICALLY OR PSYCHOLOGICALLY?  SOMETIMES, EXPERIENCING CONFUSION IS PERFECTLY NORMAL, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE TO MAKE A TOUGH CHOICE!  THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT ANSWERS TO A PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING, AND WE CAN’T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT OUR ANSWER.  ONE REASON WE MAY BE CONFUSED IS  OUT OF “FEAR” MAKING THE WRONG DECISION. THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE THE DECISION CAUSING CONFUSION IS TO MAKE A LIST OF THE POSITIVES FOR US BASED ON WHICH DECISION WE PICK. 

LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEFINITION OF CONFUSION IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND THE DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION.  WEBSTER DEFINITION OF CONFUSION-1.LACK OF UNDERSTANDING;  UNCERTAINTY  2.  THE STATE OF BEWILDERNENT OR BEING UNCLEAR IN ONE’S MIND. 

DAILY  WISDOM WORD DEFINITION-FEELING MENTALLY DISCOMBBULATED.  THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS WE MAY FEEL CONFUSED WHICH ARE CAUSED MEDICALLY OR MENTALLY.

BEFORE GOING INTO DEMENTIA AND CONFUSION FURTHER, IT IS NORMAL TO FEEL SOME CONFUSION AS I MENTIONED ABOVE.   HOWEVER, WHEN CONFUSION OF THE MIND HAPPENS TOO OFTEN, THERE IS USUALLY AN UNDERLYING REASON SUCH AS PSYCHOLOGICAL OR A MEDICAL REASON.

BEFORE I COVER JUST SOME OF THESE REASONS, RECENTLY, HARVARD UNIVERSITY COMPLETED A STUDY OF OLD AGE IN RELATION TO DEMENTIA  WHICH IS ONE OF THE MAJOR CAUSES OF CONFUSION AND FOUND THAT THE HUMAN BRAIN WITHSTANDS HUMAN AGING BETTER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.  A TERM CALLED “SUPERAGING”, IS COMMON WITH SOME CHANGES IF YOUR CONFUSION AND DEMENTIA IS NOT PHYSICAL OR MENTAL.  HERE ARE JUST A FEW REASONS WE MAY EXPERIENCE DEMENTIA. 

1. OUR DIET.  WE SHOULD BE EATING SIX LEAFY GREEN SERVINGS OF VEGETABLES PER DAY.   TWO SERVINGS FOR THE BODY AND MIND OF MIXED BERRIES ARE NEEDED TO FEEL LESS CONFUSED AND AVOID THE SYMPTOMS OF DEMENTIA AND CONFUSION FOR OUR BRAIN AS WELL.  FISH AND POULTRY, TWO SERVINGS PER DAY ARE ALSO RECOMMENDED AS WELL AS ONE SERVING OF NUTS PER DAY.   

2.  DEPRESSION-WHAT MANY DON’T REALIZE IS WHEN WE ARE DEPRESSED, IT OFTEN CAUSES CONFUSION.  USUALLY, DEPRESSION IS EITHER CAUSED BY SITUATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES OR IS AN IMBALANCE OF CERTAIN CHEMICALS IN THE BRAIN  

3.  CERTAIN DISEASES SUCH AS ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND PARKINSONS DISEASE CAUSE DEMENTIA AND CONFUSION IS THE MAJOR SYMPTOM.  THE DIET WE FOLLOW CAN HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON OUR DEMENTIA EVEN IF CAUSED BY THESE DISEASES ADDING CONFUSION  

4.  LACK OF SLEEP ON A REGULAR BASIS. 5.  DEHYDRATION.  MANY STUDIES HAVE SHOWN NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER EVERY DAY CAN HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR OVERALL HEALTH AND BRAIN CAUSING CONFUSION.  DRINK 64  OUNCES OF LIQUID PER DAY

5.  OTHER MENTAL ILLNESSES SUCH AS SCHIZOPHRENIA AND PHYSICAL PAIN.

6.  LACK OF MENTAL STIMULATION CAN CAUSE CONFUSION. 7.  LIFESTYLE CHOICE TO BE ACTIVE

8. HEREDITY

CONFUSION AND DEMENTIA SOMETIMES HAPPEN WHEN WE GET OLDER AND ARE ONE OF THE CAUSES OF DEMENTIA/FORGETFULNESS AND CONFUSION RATHER THAN THE AGING ITSELF. 

WHAT CAN WE DO TO IMPROVE DEMENTIA?  AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, FORGETFULNESS AND DEPRESSION CAN HAVE A LARGE EFFECT IN CAUSING DEMENTIA IE., CONFUSION.  I ALSO MENTIONED THAT SOME CONFUSION IS NORMAL AND CAN SIMPLY BE WE HAVE TOO MUCH ON OUR MINDS.  OUR DIETS, HEREDITY, DEHYDRATION, CERTAIN MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ILLNESSES CAUSE DEMENTIA AND CONFUSION.  PLEASE SHARE WITH ME IF THIS ARTICLE WAS HELPFUL TO YOU IN SOME WAY OR YOU HAVE A COMMENT OR QUESTION AND LEAVE IT BENEATH THIS POST IN THE “JOIN THE DISCUSSION AREA.”  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING.

COINCIDENCES

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS “COINCIDENCES.”  THE FIRST THING THAT I ALWAYS LIKE TO ASK SOMEONE WHEN HEADED IN THIS DIRECTION, IS, “DO YOU BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES”?  THERE ARE TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT ON THIS SO THE BEST THING I CAN DO IS PRESENT YOU WITH THESE THOUGHT PROCESSES ABOUT COINCIDENCES AND SEE WHICH ONE YOU AGREE WITH OR WHAT EXPLANATION SOUNDS CLOSEST TO YOUR HEART.  BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEBSTER DEFINITION OF COINCIDENCES AND THE DAILY WISDOM WORD MEANING. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF COINCIDENCE-1.  A REMARKABLE CONCURRENCE OF EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES WITHOUT APPARENT CAUSAL CONNECTION.   2.   CORRESPONDENCE IN NATURE OR TIME OF OCCURENCE.   

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF COINCIDENCE-TWO THINGS THAT HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON HAPPENING SO CLOSE IN TIME-LAPSE THAT THE MATHEMATICAL PROBABILITY OF THESE TWO THINGS REALISTICALLY HAPPENING ARE NEARLY NUMERICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. 

COINCIDENCE APPEARS TO BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU THINK ABOUT TWO SUCH SIMILARLY RELATED THINGS HAPPENING SO CLOSE TOGETHER. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING MORE BEHIND IT WHICH GOES AGAINST COINCIDENCE.  MY THOUGHTS ON COINCIDENCE VARY DEPENDING ON WHERE OR WHAT I GO THROUGH IN LIFE.  ON ONE HAND, I DO BELIEVE THAT WHEN SOMETHING VERY STRANGE AND OUT OF THE ORDINARY HAPPENS, IT MUST BE ENERGY ATTRACTING LIKE-KIND ENERGY WHETHER THAT ENERGY IS POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.   

I LOOK AT THE UNRELATED CONNECTIONS I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE AND THE NUMBER OF THINGS WE’VE HAD IN COMMON SEEM ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE,  COINCIDENCE SEEM POSSIBLE BECAUSE I CAN’T EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCES.  I CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER IF COINCIDENCE DOESN’T HAVE MORE TO DO WITH ENERGY AND THESE ENERGIES WORKING AS LARGE MAGNETS SO LIKE CAN ATTRACT LIKE AND SO ON.  I DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE GOING ANY FURTHER WITH ANY ACTUAL  KNOWLEDGE I WOULD BE ABLE TO  OFFER ON COINCIDENCE RIGHT NOW. I  DID SOME BASIC RESEARCH AND DID COME UP WITH A FEW THINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN OPINION.  CARL JUNG, A VERY FAMOUS PSYCHIATRIST, DEVELOPED A THEORY WHICH STATES THAT REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE OCCURS BECAUSE OF WHAT HE CALLED, “SYNCHRONICITY” WHICH HE DEFINED AS AN A CAUSAL CONNECTING PRINCIPLE WITH NO OTHER CAUSAL REASON TWO THINGS WOULD BE CONNECTED OTHER THAN THROUGH SYNCHRONICITY. 

WHEN WE LOOK BACK IN HISTORY, MOST PSYCHIATRISTS OR SOCIOLOGISTS DID NOT BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES.  FINALLY, THERE WAS A GENIUS AUSTRIAN PSYCHIATRIST WHO KILLED HIMSELF AT FORTY YEARS OLD, MAINLY SEEING HIMSELF AS A FAILURE.   HE ACTUALLY WASN’T, JUST WAY AHEAD OF HIS TIME.  HE PERFORMED THE FIRST KIND OF GENETIC CROSS-BREEDING THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL BUT DID NOT PINPOINT THE SPECIFIC EVIDENCE THE AUSTRIAN WAS LOOKING FOR. 

THE BELIEF IN COINCIDENCE AND WHAT THE WORD ACTUALLY DEFINES IS A GREAT EXPLANATION  TODAY IN THE YEAR 2027.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT COINCIDENCES!  BELOW THIS ARTICLE, YOU WILL SEE AN AREA TO “JOIN THE DISCUSSION”.   I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU WOULD SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON COINCIDENCES.

RESPONSIBILITY

by

TODAY’S DAILY WISDOM WORD IS RESPONSIBILITY.  AT WHAT POINT DO WE AS MATURE ADULTS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ACTIONS?  AT WHAT POINT DO WE BECOME THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT IS WRONG? 

YOU MAY FIND IT FASCINATING TO LEARN THAT THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE INCAPABLE OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS.  THESE INDIVIDUALS SIMPLY CAN’T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WRONGDOING.   

THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE WAY THEY VIEW WHO THEY ARE.  TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING, WOULD ALSO MEAN TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR OURSELVES AND USING OUR INTERNAL  “TRUTH CHECKER”.   THESE INDIVIDUALS  WOULD HAVE TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OR RESPONSIBILITY AND BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR ACTIONS THEY SIMPLY CAN’T ACCEPT THEMSELVES CAPABLE OF BEING ACCOUNTABLE FOR.  THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS TRUTH AS THEY VIEW IT AS A REFLECTION UPON WHO THEY ARE INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING OUR HUMAN SIDE AND OUR CAPABILITY TO MAKE A MISTAKE. 

TO SEE THEMSELVES IN THE KIND OF LIGHT TRUTH WOULD REVEAL IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH FOR THEIR EGO AND PRIDE. SADLY, TAKING RESPONSIBILITY WHEN WE ARE IN THE WRONG IS PART OF BEING AN ADULT.  TAKING RESPONSIBILITY MEANS THESE INDIVIDUALS WILL HAVE TO SEE THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR FLAWS AS HUMAN BEINGS AND THEY SIMPLY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF DOING THIS. WHY?  FIRST, IT REQUIRES RIGOROUS HONESTY ABOUT WHO WE ARE AS INDIVIDUALS AND THESE PERSONALITIES ARE INCAPABLE OF LOOKING AT THE TRUTH REGARDING THEIR CHARACTER WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO LIE TO THEMSELVES ABOUT WHO THEY ARE AND OTHERS AS WELL.  WHO THEY ARE IS NOT WHO THEY SEE THEMSELVES AS AND THE IMAGE THEY DO SEE, IS DISTORTED.  BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, LET US TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE WORD RESPONSIBILITY ACTUALLY MEANS IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF RESPONSIBILITY-1.   THE STATE OR FACT OF BEING ACCOUNTABLE OR TO BLAME FOR SOMETHING.  2.  A THING THAT ONE IS REQUIRED TO DO AS PART OF A JOB, ROLE, OR LEGAL OBLIGATION.  3.  A MORAL OBLIGATION TO BEHAVE CORRECTLY TOWARD OR IN RESPECT OF.

DAILY WISDOM WORD MEANING OF RESPONSIBILITY-1.  BEING ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH MATURITY NO MATTER HOW BAD FACING THE TRUTH ABOUT THEMSELVES  IS IF THEY ARE CAPABLE OF ACCOUNTABILITY DOING SO AND HAVING ENOUGH RESPECT FOR ANOTHER TO ACCEPT AND FACE THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITY THEY HAD FOR SOMETHING GONE WRONG.  WHEN ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A WRONGDOING TO OTHERS OR WRONGDOING HURTING THEMSELVES.   NOONE HAS EVER SAID TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND OWNERSHIP FOR WHAT HAS GONE WRONG IF YOU CREATED THIS PROBLEM INTENTIONALLY OR UNINTENTIONALLY WOULD BE EASY.  PART OF BEING AN ADULT IS BEING ABLE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR WRONGDOING WHEN THEY ARE AT FAULT.  IT IS DIFFICULT TO DO THIS.  IT IS SO DIFFICULT IN FACT, PEOPLE GO TO MANY LENGTHS TO COVER UP THEIR PART IN WHATEVER THE WRONGDOING WAS ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ROLE THEY PLAYED MADE THEM FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ISSUE.  THEY WILL LIE, CREATE STORIES OF FALSEHOOD, CHEAT, STEAL, LIE TO THEMSELVES, DECEIVE, AND GO TO EXTREME LENGTHS TO AVOID THE TRUTH ABOUT WHO THEY ARE AS PEOPLE. 

WHAT THEY DO NOT REALIZE IS THEY MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK WORSE TO OTHERS AS THE TRUTH IS USUALLY REVEALED. THEY END UP THINKING EVEN LESS OF THEMSELVES WITH THE LIES THEY  TELL TO AVOID THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE ISSUE THEY CAUSED COME TO LIGHT.  THEY LOOK WORSE THAN THEY WOULD HAVE IF THEY HAD ASSUMED RIGHTFUL OWNERSHIP OF WHAT THEY ARE ACCOUNTABLE FOR AT THE ONSET OF THEIR MISTAKE WHICH BECOMES INTENTIONAL WHEN THEY LIE ABOUT IT. 

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY TODAY AND WHAT IT REALLY MEANS.  ONE LAST THING I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IS IF A PERSON IS WILLING TO LIE INTENTIONALLY TO THEMSELVES THIS MEANS THEY ARE CAPABLE OF MANY OTHER THINGS THAT CAN BE FAR WORSE THAN DENIABILITY.  DON’T BE ANGRY WITH THEM IF YOU ARE A VICTIM OF THEIR LIES.  PRAY THEY GET HELP.  SAMANTHA LEBOEUF/DWW

SENSITIVITY

by

OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS SENSITIVITY.  “BEING SENSITIVE” CAN BE BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE.  WHEN I THINK OF SENSITIVITY, I DO THINK OF MYSELF BEING OVERLY SENSITIVE.  IT IS HARD WHEN YOU ARE SENSITIVE AS A CHILD, AND PERHAPS YOU GREW UP WITH A PARENT WHO WAS NOT SENSITIVE BY NATURE.  THIS DESCRIBES MY STEP-FATHER WHO WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED AS A SENSITIVE PERSON.  WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD WHO IS OVERLY-SENSITIVE, AND A PARENT WHO IS NOT THOUGHT OF AS BEING SENSITIVE, A PROBLEM DEVELOPS.  THIS STARTS OFF WITH FRUSTRATION ON THE PARENT’S PART AND PAIN ON THE CHILD’S BEHALF.  BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND DAILY WISDOM WORDS DEFINITION OF SENSITIVITY.  

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF SENSITIVITY-1.  A PERSON’S FEELINGS WHICH MIGHT BE EASILY OFFENDED OR HURT;  SENSITIVITIES

DAILY WISDOM WORDS DEFINITION OF SENSITIVITY-BEING IN TUNE WITH YOUR OWN FEELINGS AND 

 

IRONICALLY, AS I GOT OLDER, MY DAD BECAME MORE SENSITIVE.  HOWEVER, SOME OF THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN DONE.  MY BROTHER WAS ALSO A PERSON WHO APPEARED TO BE INSENSITIVE.  LOOKING BACK, I SEE HE USED THIS TOUGH GUY ATTITUDE TO APPEAR TO BE “STRONG”.  PART OF THIS HAD TO DO WITH MY STEP-DAD BEING SUCH A TOUGH PERSON TO DEAL WITH.  HE WAS A LONG-DISTANCE TRUCKER AND USED TO HARD WORK.  HE RAISED HIMSELF FROM THE AGE OF ELEVEN YEARS OLD ON BY BUILDING A VERY PRIMITIVE CABIN IN THE WOODS OF TENNESSEE.  IF YOU LOOK BEHIND A CHILD HAVING TO GET HIS OWN FOOD, CREATE HIS OWN SHELTER AND GROW UP THIS PRIMITIVE, YOU CAN SEE WHY MY DAD WAS THE WAY HE WAS. THE LAST THING HE COULD AFFORD TO BE WAS “SENSITIVE”.

BEING OVERLY-SENSITIVE PRESENTS ISSUES.  THE WORLD IS NOT FULL OF SENSITIVE PEOPLE AND I GET MY FEELINGS HURT EASILY.  I ALSO CRY EASILY.  HOWEVER, TO BE A SENSITIVE INDIVIDUAL IS A GREAT THING.  IT IS WONDERFUL WHEN YOU ARE NOT TOO SENSITIVE TO CRY AT THE DROP OF A HAT, BUT SENSITIVE ENOUGH TO TUNE INTO OTHER’S FEELINGS AND BE CONSCIOUS OF THEM.  LIFE IS A MYRIAD OF EMOTIONS BUT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE LOGICAL HALF THE TIME IN ORDER TO LEARN FROM OTHERS WITHOUT GETTING OUR FEELINGS HURT.  BEFORE WRITING MORE ABOUT THIS, LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE MEANING OF SENSITIVITY IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION.  

WEBSTER DICTIONARY MEANING OF SENSITIVITY-1.  THE QUALITY OR CONDITION OF BEING SENSITIVE. 2.  A PERSON’S FEELINGS WHICH MIGHT BE EASILY OFFENDED OR HURT.  SENSITIVITIES.  

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF SENSITIVITY- A PERSONALITY TRAIT THAT IS STRONGER IN SOME INDIVIDUAL’S PERSONALITY THAN THEMSELVES.  PEOPLE WHO ARE “SENSITIVE” TEND TO BE MORE EMOTIONAL AND ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ANOTHER’S FEELINGS.  THEY TEND TO EMPATHIZE OR SYMPATHIZE MORE OFTEN THEN A PERSON WHO IS NOT SENSIBLE OR INSENSITIVE.  

THE BEST THING WE CAN DO, WHEN WE HAVE A PERSONALITY TRAIT THAT CAN BE EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE IS FILL OUR LIVES WITH THINGS AND INDIVIDUALS THAT UNDERSTAND US AND THIS QUALITY, AS WELL AS FIND A CAREER THAT WILL ENHANCE THIS QUALITY AND USE IT FOR GOOD THINGS.  FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED LISTENING AND WORKING WITH KIDS.  

MY POSTS, YOU WILL NOTICE SHOW A CONTROVERSIAL PERSONALITY OR TWO SIDES OF MYSELF.  I THINK THE HARDEST PART I MISS SINCE BEING FORCED TO RETIRE.  THERE AGAIN ARE TWO SIDES OF MY PERSONALITY.  I DON’T NECESSARILY THINK THIS IS UNIQUE.  I MISS SO MUCH THE SOCIAL SIDE OF WHO I AM.  YES, EVEN THOUGH MY CURRENT LIFESTYLE IS REMOTE AND QUIET I AM STILL OVERLY-SENSITIVE.  THIS IS THE ONE QUALITY THAT BOTH SIDES OF WHO I AM, AN INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT.  SENSITIVITY IS A FEELING.  SOMETIMES, THINGS ARE SAID FROM OTHERS AND CAN BE TAKEN TWO WAYS.  MY TENDENCY IS TO TAKE WHATEVER HAS BEEN SAID AND TAKE IT PERSONALLY.  THIS IS THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF MY SENSITIVITY.  

MY POINT IS ANY QUALITY, ESPECIALLY SENSITIVITY, CAN BE TAKEN TO AN EXTREME.  MODERATION IS THE KEY TO ALL QUALITIES WE HAVE, AND IT IS UP TO US TO DO AN HONEST ASSESSMENT ON OURSELVES TO FIGURE OUT IF WE ARE HEALTHY, MENTALLY, AND PHYSICALLY AND ANY QUALITY, ESPECIALLY SENSITIVITY TAKEN TO AN EXTREME, CAN BE A GOOD OR BAD THING DEPENDING ON HOW EXTREME WE TAKE ANY QUALITY TO.  WE NEED TO POLISH OUR PERSONALITY TRAITS TO BE BALANCED AND HEALTHY.  MY QUALITY IS SENSITIVITY WHICH CAN BE BAD OR GOOD DEPENDING ON HOW WE USE IT AND WHAT CAPACITY WE USE IT IN.  

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT SENSITIVITY TODAY.  HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED DAY. SAMANTHA LEBOEUF
