In order to do that, we need to break it down and name what is happening. Once we can name it, we can face it, and when we can face it, we can work with it. Here is a 3 step process to breaking through procrastination: Name it Redirect to physical feeling Return to original intention Continue reading the full blog entry about how to break free from procrastination to get the full picture… (Source: World of Psychology) World of Psychology blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3052184 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:20:52 +0100 3052184 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2908663&cid=t_105339_109_f&fid=35088&url=http%3A%2F%2Fqw88nb88.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F10%2F19%2Fwhat-you-want%2F I still feel queasy when I remember the words. Children have a certain disempowerment simply because they are young — they are naïve, less learned, and lack perspective. But this transcended childhood.  It sank past the boundaries of adult to child, or parent to child, and trampled my self-identity and self-determination. My mom had found a way [...] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:) Andrea's Buzzing About: blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2908663 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:48:51 +0100 2908663 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2662538&cid=t_105339_109_f&fid=35088&url=http%3A%2F%2Fqw88nb88.wordpress.com%2F2009%2F08%2F01%2Fwhere-p-0%2F Where P is the momentum, and P = mv.  v = velocity, naturally.  But the m = inertial mass.  As in, if something doesn’t act upon and force the m, then there is no v and no P, and certainly no W of work!

I leave my daughter and her partner to mind Nonna and the three siblings, a two to one ratio, whilst I rush off to the supermarket to feed the hungry hoards. Within 30 minutes I’m back, fully and efficiently re-stocked for possibly another 24 hour period. Predictably enough, the house is in chaos but that does not deflect me from my mission.“Right! I want every one of you out on the drive way to carry in a bag into the kitchen…..except you Nonna, you’re excused.” Three small people blink in disbelief, “you want to eat, right?” I add encouragingly.“I am not liking yur disgustin foods.”“Never mind that, it’s your new job.”�...

Together, the boys had 13 hours of different therapies a week up until the time that I had jaw surgery. At that time we dropped everything except for the two double therapy sessions on a Wednesday afternoon, double occupational therapy and double speech therapy because Wednesdays are a half day at school. Their "father" took them during my period of recouperation. It gave him a far deeper "understanding" and greater "involvement" such that when I had recovered and was ready to take up the reins again, he decided that he’d prefer to keep taking them himself. These days I take them occasionally when his schedule doesn’t allow him to go, like when he is abroad on business. Hence wh...

How difficult is that? You have to cut out the words, that’s why it’s called ‘wordless’ you see?”“Indeed, verily I am on board with the concept.”“Then why do you keep doing it?”“Doing what?”“Putting words in your ‘wordless’ post?”“Ah, well that’s because the photo makes no sense unless there are some words to go with it, by way of explanation you see.”“While we’re on the subject, that photo, the one you choose for today?”“Yes?”“Well, you might try and choose a photo with a little, hmmmm, how can I put it?

It has degenerated from ‘open with a pair of scissors and collapse the box with a cleaver,’ to ‘open box with a chain saw.’ I have struggled to extract the contents for some minutes but avoided drawing blood. My youngest son presents himself before me, amid the carnage of the semi opened packages. He pauses to gain composure and then makes his announcement. “Look mummy! I am choosed my own cloves.”“Indeed! And you put them on your body too!” I cheer, as wonder how he has managed to squeeze himself into clothes put aside for the rag bag. Not only has he physically grown three of four inches since he last wore that ensemble, but it would appear that he also branches out into other pastures new. It is a rare momen...

For us, the issues of time and sequencing are very old friends. This is why we are a household with more timers than the average clock shop. They come in every kind of variety. During the summer holidays I have occasion to use nearly all of them. 8 hours and 55 minutes until bed time. 27 minutes until snack. 8 hours and 25 minutes until electronics. The tick tock of one, fights for attention with the tickety tockety of another one. Once words emerged and were used with greater frequency, we began an exchange.“How many minutes until……..?” fill in the blank. “Look at the timer dear.” Always the same response, for years. Now during the summer, we add an extra line: “which one?”Yes,...
