It’s almost as if those red marks on our graded assignments as kids stay with us when we become adults. In fact, our fear of impending negative feedback often grows as we grow older. We hold our vulnerabilities even closer, wrapping them up carefully like we would a glass vase or a precious piece of china. We’re fearful of sharing our feelings. We hold back our laughter, forgetting that as kids we let it all out from our bellies to our mouths. And to shield our pain, instead of crying, confronting or expressing ourselves, we avoid loved ones when they’ve hurt us. Yet, in order to fully live, to feel completely alive, we must f...

However through 10 years of our research and evaluation within the  education system, with commendations from OFSTED and an international Award for the empowerment and inspiration of young people, to celebrate  our research, we now know that that this approach is  proven to be consistently more than 86% effective as a natural remedy for ADHD and similar behavioural problems. In fact, there are many natural remedies that work very effectively with ADHD and we have a whole research programme that proves it every step of the way. Not only do they work effectively  on their own but when used in particular sequence they are very powerful in supporting the whole behavioural scene within AD...

The sky is bright blue, the sun is sparkling and the air feels crisp and cool. Maybe you’re walking along the beach, feeling the warm sand on your bare feet. Perhaps you’re riding your bike in a park, surrounded by hundred-year-old trees and singing birds. Or maybe you’re pinching the dirt as you dig through the backyard to plant a few flowers. Being outdoors at a park, the beach or even just a few feet from our doorsteps can feel both relaxing and invigorating. In fact, research has shown that participating in physical activity in the great outdoors can do a world of good for your psyche. When analyzing ten studies with 1,252 participants, UK researchers found that outdoor activities like walking, gardening and bike riding helped boost the mood and self-es...

How I wish she were wrong. Disappointments leave us with the unpleasant task of squashing, crushing, and pinching lemons to extract any and all juice. Here, then, are a few of my techniques to turn sour into sweet, to try my best to overcome disappointment. 1. Throw away the evidence Albert Einstein failed his college entrance exam. Walt Disney was fired from his first media job. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Get it? 2. Stay in the mud “The lotus flower blooms most beautifully from the deepest and thickest mud,” says a Buddhist proverb, just in case you thought all crap was bad. 3.

And I do like flowers. One of the things I like about the place where I work now is the fact that it's filled with plants---I don't know enough about horticulture to say what they are---but I think they are mother-in-law's tongue, ferns, philodendrons and other bushy green things. In front of the hospital there's a bed of tiger lillies and I can't wait for them to start blooming now that it's Spring.Our hospital has a horticulture program. Patients who have worked their way up through the privilege level system and are safe enough to leave the ward are allowed to tend the many green plants lining the hallways and windows of the hos...

There are two tragedies that may befall a commons: The Tragedy of the Commons and The Tragedy of the Anticommons. Paraphrasing Michael Heller (Gridlock Economy): the tragedy of the commons is when too many people share a single resource, we tend to overuse it; and the tragedy of the anticommons is when too many people own a single resource, and anyone can block the use. Modifying this for healthcare, the tragedy of the healthcare anticommons is that too many people own portions of a patient’s health information (HI), and anyone at anytime can block a full rendering of the patient’s HI. A patient’s HI might be charcterized by those that have an interest in the HI, including the patient. This interest extends beyo... symtym blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3224905 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 06:43:32 +0100 3224905 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3208442&cid=t_149874_109_f&fid=34730&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychiatrist-blog.blogspot.com%2F2010%2F01%2Fflower-for-patients-interview-at-noon.html Today (Tue Jan 26) at 12:00 noon Eastern Time, Gregg Masters (@2healthguru) will be interviewing Dirk Stanley, Tim Sturgill, and me about Flower on BlogTalkRadio.  Flower promulgates the message that we should control our health data and have universal standards for sharing it.Here's the blurb about it that Gregg wrote for the hour-long live show on BlogTalkRadio:What is flower?
