Keep Communication Open

If you are always defending your position instead of being open to someone else’s, you may keep yourself from learning new and different ideas.I was at a meeting once listening to a fellow explain what direction a particular magazine should take, when another fellow piped up, “That’s ridiculous. I disagree completely.” Within seconds, the various participants at the meeting took sides, and it became a win-lose situation....

Victim – Maybe Not

Often people feel like victims in life. They think they have no control over what happens to them. But what they don’t think about are all the times they set themselves up to be victims. Here are some of the typical ways you can be sure to bring on some additional problems for yourself: Don’t get out of bed when the alarm goes off....

Let’s Work on Moodiness

This time of year sometimes brings more moodiness. However, when your moodiness is beginning to affect your marriage and family, it’s time to do something about it. In a marriage counseling session, a husband complained that the past weekend had not been good. His wife had been in one of her moods. I asked the wife what the husband meant. She shrugged and looked at him....

Pain and Disappointment

How you deal with the pain makes you who you are.No one escapes life without pain and disappointment. This is the first noble truth Buddha taught. Life is pain. Life is suffering. I look around me. Every person I know has had pain — physical pain and emotional pain. The death of a child. A chronic illness. Loss of a mate....

Embrace Resiliency

With the new year upon us, embrace resiliency, amplify your strengths and believe in yourself.If watching your weight and keeping to an exercise regimen seems a drag, try switching your frame of reference. View weight watching and exercise as a privilege. See it as a way to build stamina, character and resiliency.

Corrector, Corrector

The Corrector is a person whose main focus in life is to find the flaw and then point it out. Correctors think and know that there is a right way to fold socks, a right way to put dishes in the dishwasher, a right way to cut the grass, and a right way to catch a fish. And they are more than happy to tell you how to do it....

The Scorpion and the Horse

According to Aesop, there once was a scorpion who wanted to cross a river. A horse was grazing along a river bank. “Kind horse,” said the scorpion, “Will you take me on your back across the river?” Thinking it over a moment, the horse replied, “Sure. Hop on my back.” When the horse reached the middle of the river, he turned his head to look at the scorpion, and just at that moment the scorpion lifted his tail and stung the horse....

Don’t Attach A String

If you do something for someone else make sure it’s for the right reasons. I spoke to a woman in therapy who is annoyed with her mother. She says her mother volunteers to do things for her church group, such as prepare a meal or drive someone to the doctor’s. Then her mother complains about everything she does for others and that they don’t appreciate it....

Little Irritations

As the holiday season approaches, and the busyness picks up, you may find yourself with more irritations. Instead of letting little irritations become a big issue, best rethink how to deal with them. Some years ago a woman came to me because of her mother-in-law. She and her husband had been married for four years and had two small babies. The problem was that when her mother-in-law came for a visit, she would go through her daughter-in-law’s dresser drawers and medicine cabinet....

Emotional Eating and the Holidays

When picking up something yummy to eat during the holidays, ask yourself first, am I eating to satisfy my hunger or my emotional state? Be careful during the holiday season not to overeat just because you’re stressed. One time, before the holidays, I had a particularly trying week. I had worked way too many hours at the office and had spent too little time resting....

Why are some people so indecisive? Is there a hidden agenda? No matter what, some people can’t seem to make a decision. What’s even more exasperating is that when you try to make the decision, they won’t let you. For example: Sue asks me one day, “Where would you like to go for lunch?”I say, “It’s up to you.”...
