WEEKLY RECAP May 5th - 11th 2018 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, May 5th (AM) Don't let anyone else decide whether your experiences have lessons for you or not. You may not be fully in charge of what happens to you...but you are in charge of what those experiences MEAN to you... | | |
|
| | Saturday, May 5th (PM) YYou don't need hope when it's bright out and things are going well. You need hope when it's dark and things are up in the air. Lots of people will be there for you when things are going well. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, May 6th (AM) It's natural to be angry at things that impact our lives that we didn't choose. Be angry at those things if you need to be. For real... | | |
|
| | Sunday, May 6th (PM) It doesn't matter how many people are affected by the same challenges you are. It doesn't matter how they deal... | | |
|
|
| | Monday, May 7th (AM) Play the long game. Your diet's not going to stand or fall based on every little thing that goes in your mouth. It's going to hinge upon the PATTERNS of what you put into your mouth over TIME...Some symptoms you'll see coming and you'll address with your skills. | | |
|
| | Monday, May 7th (PM) Sadly, there are no such manuals with instant, elegant, simple solutions. It's usually us stumbling along, doing the trial and error thing, sometimes getting it right, sometimes getting it very wrong, and often being anxious about the process... | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, May 8th (Blog) "There's no magic to therapist or therapy." It’s important to remember that progress is rarely, if ever, found in momentary flashes of brilliance or insight—but rather in the daily grind of habit and incremental gains. There is a large subset of people who think that therapeutic progress is made in the room with the therapist... | | |
|
| | Tuesday, May 8th (PM) Setting limits with yourself takes practice. It's almost never fun. It almost always feels like a deprivation or punishment. That's why it takes practice. It takes practice to learn to accept the fact that, in order to live well, we need to limit ourselves. We need to be mindful of what we put into our bodies. We need to be mindful of what we put into our minds. We need to set limits on how late we're going to stay up... | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, May 9th (AM) You may or may not have ever used a drug. You may or may not have ever been drunk. But that doesn't mean you've avoided the addiction trap... | | |
|
| | Wednesday, May 9th (PM) Got a goal? Great! What's the plan? What COULD be the plan? What's the smallest possible step that you COULD take toward that goal? | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, May 10th (Blog): “You can afford the luxury of a negative thought. Really.” Negative thoughts” don’t make you a “negative person.” They make you a normal person who has normal thoughts... | | |
|
| | Thursday, May 10th (PM) Other people sometimes don't live up to their part of the bargain. That's a bummer. Being disappointed by people we trust and depend on is a bummer. It's up to us, however, to decide whether it's the kind of bummer that's going to derail us, get us off our life plan... | | |
|
|
| | Friday, May 11th (AM) Hack away. Sometimes you'll be ahead; sometimes you'll be behind. Keep hacking away. Sometimes the solutions you devise will be brilliant and elegant; sometimes they'll be clumsy and makeshift. Hack, hack, hack away. | | |
|
| | Friday, May 11th (PM) If you can read this, you have something to offer the world. If your eyes can take in this post, if your brain can process it, you have value. The voice in your head might be telling you you don't have anything to offer the world. That you don't have value. That voice is a liar. | | |
