For the last couple weeks, I have had the opportunity to really slow down my pace. My old self would have judged this time saying something to myself like ?What is wrong with me? I am feeling so unmotivated.? Not this time. Oh no! I am sooooaking it in!
What is so great is that the weather in Wisconsin is totally working with me. This is what I love about nature. If we go along with its messages, we feel even better. Wisconsin is getting clobbered with ridiculous amounts of snow. People are complaining about it left and right, but not me. The weather gives me all the more reason to rest, relax and unwind. I am just loving my bed right now, as I treasure waking up around 6 rather than around 4:30 or 5 when I was in a more motivated state. Read more of A New Perspective to Beat Those Winter Blah

?Girls cannot be trusted? was the message I received over and over from my mom once I hit adolescence. She saw me struggling to understand how I could be invited over to a sleepover with girls one weekend, and by the next weekend the same girls were mad at me. Up until adolescence, I got along with both girls and guys very well but felt closer to my female companions.
Adolescence changed my view of female friendships, and that lasted throughout my twenties. Nothing dramatic happened to me, it was just experience after experience in which I felt betrayed and hurt by girls. By the time I was in high school, I concluded that I got along better with guys. Even though the majority of my time was spent with girl friends, on a deep emotional level, I no longer trusted them. Read more of Women and Friendship, Toxic and Healthy Friendships
Everyone that I interact with these days seems to express concern regarding the challenges facing us. For some it is worries about the economy. Can we continue to afford our house? How high will gas prices go up? Will we be able to afford a vacation next year? What about those struggling to put food on their table? Will I continue to have a job? Will I continue to make ends meet? On top of the economic struggles, people are concerned about the world?s welfare. War and our environment weigh heavy on many people?s minds. Then add to this stress any personal concerns we may be having regarding the physical or emotional health of ourselves and our loved ones and we can begin to sense the weight that many people are carrying.
I?ve been there myself having moments when I am concerned if my family will continue to be able to live in the same manner due to the greater challenges facing our society. My fear, however, lead me back to my truth. How? I was able to realize the message underneath the fear by knowing how to listen to my emotions. Read more of Get Ready to Stress Less
Did you ever play those games when you were a kid to see how far you could bend back your fingers without giving up in pain? How about allowing a relative or friend to keep hitting you harder and harder to see how long you could take it without giving up? In both of these cases, the more pain you could tolerate, the stronger you were viewed. We all tried this at one point or another so that we wouldn?t feel or be called a wimp.
These silly games we play as a kid imprints a lasting message in our psyche. The message is we are somehow better if we are tough and learn to ?suck up? the pain or discomfort that we are feeling. This message has been reiterated by adults as well because of the belief that we need to be able tolerate pain because life is not always fair.
The unfortunate outcome is that most of us have learned how to tolerate our pain too well. We suffer with our careers, our relationships and our sense of self due to our great tolerance of pain. We have learned loud and clear that we are better off sucking it up. We pull ourselves up by the boot straps and try to move forward all the while ignoring the pain the best we can.
What we don?t think about is how this will impact us in the long-term because we have been trained not to. Read more of How High Is Your Pain Tolerance When It Comes to Stress?
As much as some people love the holiday season, most people are increasingly feeling stressed as the holidays approach. Added to the normal list of duties in our everyday lives is the pressure of shopping, spending, and socializing. We pay a high emotional toll to meet the demands and expectations that we place on ourselves throughout the holiday season. We turn to the excess sweets or alcohol available to soothe the inner depletion and exhaustion we feel. Yet in the end, those coping strategies just make us feel even emptier inside.
When we feel depleted from the inside out, we are living our lives from the perspective of ?lack?. In essence, we are creating an internal form of poverty. It is our inner sense of poverty that makes us feel like we have to give of ourselves to a degree in which we do not feel good. We do this by saying ?yes? to more than we can handle, not asking for help and spending more than we can afford. All of this is rooted in an old and familiar internal struggle of trying to be enough to everyone who is a part of our lives. We think that by giving more of ourselves physically, emotionally or financially, we will earn the acceptance and love that we so desire. Read more of The Gift of Authentic Giving By Michelle Bersell
