Take yesterday, for example. I was peering into my nightly stack of “I’m-going-to-eventually-get-to-these-books,” when I came across the yellow covered copy of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden. The only reason why I hadn’t finished yet, is that I did what I normally do when I’m infatuated with a book. I read it slowly as if each word were being analyzed with a microscope. I would ponder over an author’s choice of one word over another, for example or got lost in why a particular passage was so magical, so descriptively perfect. When I picked up where I left off, I was enchanted by the beginning of the last chapter, which started with this: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “[...

Instead of completing a big project, have you started organizing your files? Have you forgotten an important engagement altogether? For someone with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), these are typical occurrences. Some of the most common symptoms of ADHD are being forgetful and having a tough time concentrating. These moments tend to happen regularly and affect all areas of people’s lives. It doesn’t matter if it’s something small, such as misplacing your keys, or something big, such as forgetting to finish a work project or research paper. “After a while, it can look and feel a lot like Groundhog Day,” ADHD coach Cynthia Hammer, MSW, wrote in the Fall 2010 issue...

My name is Summer. How can I help you?” Wait, it’s after 5 pm. And this is the internet, not a phone. And I’m at my kitchen table, not in my drab fabric-walled cubicle. And I’m not wearing a headset. Let me switch hats for a moment and return to being a writer for the next few minutes. Tomorrow, I celebrate my last day of working in a customer service call center. (Despite the rumors, it’s not an easy gig.) Over the past few years, I’ve been called some less-than-savory names through the phone lines. A few customers have threatened me. Even more have called me a liar, played psychological games with me, and screamed words that their grandmothers would be ashamed to hear. Lesson learned: contacting a customer...

It is always up to you how you feel. Stephen Covey puts it well “There is a gap between stimuli and response where self awareness and the ability to chose reside.”. Whenever something happens it is your decision if you are going to let it get you down or if you are going to turn it into something positive.

Is it really the end of September? According to our Twitter followers, I might not be the only one feeling the swiftness of September. It’s funny how no matter how hard we try to pay attention to every moment, the days and moments still fly by. And here we are again, another month is gone. Soon it will be winter and then 2011! The good news is that the rapidity of time makes it all the more valuable and a worthy cause to find the goodness in all situations. Like how Mindfulness & Psychotherapy is showing us how to do it this week and kind of like how Mentoring & Recovery is teaching us how to be more of a inner coach rather than an inner critic. It’s all of these things that show us how to live life more meaningfully that helps the moments go by just a little...

Actually, it was a terrible day. Every piece of news I got was disappointing. Did it affect me? I still have bruises from the rock I tried to hide under. Guess what? In the coming weeks you will have a bad day, too. Whether you are an entrepreneur launching a new product, an employee aiming for a promotion, or simply someone going after a big goal in your other 8 hours, you will experience disappointment and setback. How you respond to disappointment could determine your eventual success or failure. Why? A really bad day can, at best, cause you to lose momentum, and at worst, cause you to lose your will to continue. Here are five tips to survive a bad day: Don’t add more pressure.

That’s life, is it not? Anyone who tells you they’re always fine, well, they’re definitely suspect.  Among all of us who live with chronic pain, each day of our lives, there are numerous personalities, reactions and mindsets. We all, eventually, learn to cope with this “thing” that we carry around like a filthy habit we can’t shake. We’re old, we’re young; we’re fat, we’re thin and we come from all types of backgrounds and ethnicities. We have differences and we have similarities. The big chunk of trouble we have in common which is with us at all times is the challenge of living with pain. Some days it’s like having a tiny man sitting on your head while holding a large hammer. He just keeps swinging away. On other days, it feels l...

REALLY bad. It wasn’t that I ate poorly or failed to exercise, but I still had a hard time controlling my blood sugar. I got up and my blood sugar was 150. I took the proper insulin dosage, didn’t eat any breakfast, and then went to work. A couple hours later I worked out. When I tested after my workout, my blood sugar was 250! Frustrating. But it didn’t end there. After my workout I was hungry finally, and now my blood sugar is high. I took my insulin, waited, and then ate lunch. A very healthy and sensible lunch. When I tested after that, my blood sugar was 228. Now here&... Diabetes Notes blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2078318 Sat, 03 Jan 2009 20:38:42 +0100 2078318
