In order to succeed in anything we must possess this ability. Otherwise we are living through someone else. When we trust ourselves we are first of all keeping our power, as opposed to giving our power away to outside sources that we look to for the right answer. Then when things don’t go as planned it becomes very easy to play the victim role then blame that source for the circumstances at hand. You can avoid all this overwhelm by going back to the basics. We all have within us the means and know how to do what needs to be done. It all begins with feeling. We all have knee jerk reactions to situations and do or say things we shouldn’t but if you really listened to your body, something inside of you was telling ...

They don’t come from your friend, or even your enemies. They come from inside your own head. Perhaps you’re working towards a big goal: like losing weight and getting fit, or starting up your own business. You might have big ambitions … but you’ve also got to fight a battle against those internal voices. You’re not the only person who feels that way. We all have to struggle against self-doubt. And we can all overcome those negative, destructive thoughts that hold us back from reaching our goals. Here’s how. #1: Remember What You’ve Already Accomplished You’ve managed to achieve lots of amazing things already....

Rows upon rows of homes right up against their neighbor. It's famous for it's beauty. I look up and think of Noah's rainbow, the sign that humans would never be extinguished by God again.En masse that is. Many have been killed since the rainbow, including His own son Jesus Christ, who took our place before the wrath of God.I hear about God - that He is good, that He has overcome eternal death, that He always gives a way of escape. Where is my way of escape? Where is His goodness?Round church in downtown Charleston.How about that He works ALL things for the good of those who diligently seek Him. That God's plan does not always match up with my plan. He seems so very, very far away. I heard something else - something considered a fallacy - that God is a distant cos...

It sets somber white against the cobalt twilight in midwinter. Edging into the long cold night one beautiful moment at a time.The white bleeds blurred brightness onto film as the stars peek through the velvet and the yellow sunlight whispers secrets to the hilltops picketed with naked trees. Ragged horizon like the frayed yarn of a favorite scarf, worn by the harshness of winter and the fingering blaze of the sun as she winks goodbye to our side of the world each afternoon and begins her ascent into the heavens of someone else's morning.I look at the world of color, and it's a warm moon and twilight is a blanket I can wrap my shoulders in, a tangible testimony of Creator God.

It is a component of positive psychology, in that researchers try and figure out what makes resilient people different than others. And then seeks to help others learn some simple skills that may be able to help build resiliency in one’s own life. There are no secret short-cuts to building greater resilience in your life. Most skills you can learn to help build resiliency are things that are going to take lots of time and lots of practice. Practice is one of the things people often forget when it comes to changing one’s behavior or one’s life. You didn’t become this way overnight. It took years — a...

I’m not on call. A flash then a clap of thunder outside. “Your patient from a few days ago is here in the ER.” The mind races. You remember the case clearly. No problem at all. What could be going on? You ask 20 questions, you get 20 answers. All of the bases have been covered. “Doin’ better now,” you’re told. “We’ll just admit ’em and you can see ‘em in the morning.” Hesitantly you return to bed, mind racing.

"That he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end" (Deuteronomy 8:16). ~ John Piper's tweet today at 1:30 p.m.That morning, we watched two friends hands run the length of a tiny casket, draped in a blue knit baby blanket, that final touch symbolic of the life and death the casket held: short and sweet. It's the second time we've watched them walk this road of sorrow, the second baby they lost the same day they met him. Two sons - Josh and Jake - arrows now around God's table in heaven instead of around theirs here on earth. We passed through their darkness on the way to our own. A side trip on the way to Mayo to find out what was wrong with Amelia. The pale turquoise of the spring sunlit sky belied the shadow of the valley we felt deep inside....

Think of some inspiring phrases or statements, write them on sticky notes, and put them in places where you are likely to go to procrastinate, such as on your TV or video game unit. The idea is to activate your inner butt-kicker before your situation reaches a crisis level.   Has there ever been a time when others had doubt but you had faith? What words of encouragement would you have offered at that time? (“You can do it!” “Don’t give up.”) Try to remember a painful time that you thought would never end. Find a word or two that describes how it felt when it was over. (“Victorious.” “I’m a survivor.”) Call to mind one hardship that you have be...

Do you feel confident or do you shrink away from it as soon as you can? Do you experience positive or neutral self-talk or do you start to notice doubt whispering or screaming at you? How you answer those questions helps to determine how you feel about yourself. The key to confidence is believing in you. So what exactly is doubt? Doubt is thinking about yourself in a negative, vulnerable way or thinking you’re not equipped to handle things when the facts show otherwise. Doubt causes you to stop actively participating in life and enjoying the world around you because you get stuck in your own head. You get bogged down internally by self-criticism, second-guessing, and analyzing the unlikely less than favorable outcomes of situa...

That’s the question posed by the settlement of a lawsuit in the great state of New Jersey. Imagine being cleared to be discharged out of an inpatient psychiatric hospital, only you have no place to go. New Jersey, like many states, didn’t really care — you can stay at the hospital for as long as you want. But as anyone who has spent any amount of time in such a facility, you know it’s not really a conducive place for, um, “self-growth” and certainly not for someone trying to get their life and independence back. So four years ago, a group representing 300 patients at inpatient state psychiatric hospitals filed suit to get the state to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1999 Olmstead ...
