Thoughts have been swirling around like a sandstorm about work, things I've been reading, household tasks, finances, conce
s about people, a yard that needs mowing, loose ends, projects, etc. etc. The other day I told my wife: "I'm thinking about too many things." Know the feeling?ARTArticleAre You Working Together?[Note: This JOT is adapted from Mother Nurture, a book written for mothers - focusing on typical parenting situations and gender differences that are experienced by many, though not all, mothers and fathers, and by parents in same sex relationships.ARTArticleBest place to buy a used carFor some people, the very idea of a used car brings up images that are inherently negative, and many manufacturers avoid the term nowadays, in favour of terms such as certified pre-owned etc.
Having said that, the used car market is huge, and with a bit of thought and research it is very possible to buy a good car, which has been reliably driven and kept in decent mechanical order at a fair price.
It is in many ways much more possible to do this nowadays given the size and scale of the internet and it was previously.ARTArticleCalifo
ia Poppy for AnxietyIn a world that seems set on winding up our springs and forcing us to scurry about completing our appointed tasks, it would be nice to find an alte
ative therapy that could ease our daily angst without sending us into oblivion or making us feel as we weren’t really there.ARTArticleCan Food Help You Fight Depression?The Link Between Food and Mood
The adage "you are what you eat" may be one of the most profound truths of our existence. So it should come as no small wonder that you experience a palpable sense of euphoria when you devour a decadent dessert or sample a slice of authentic New York from your favorite Brooklyn pizza spot.
The truth is that the foods we eat have an incredibly tremendous effect on our overall well being - and in particular on our mental health. We could even go so far as to say that food = mood.ARTArticleCan You Be With The Whole Of Your Psyche?When you're young, the territory of the psyche is like a vast estate, with rolling hills, forests and plains, swamps and meadows. So many things can be experienced, expressed, wanted, and loved.ARTArticleCan You Come Home To Yourself?Meditation is to the mind what aerobic exercise is to the body.

Whilst a new car generally is very reliable and will have a manufacturer's warranty for a period of years, some people do have problems with new cars, although thankfully it is quite rare.
Other people will buy a new car simply for the thrill of having the latest model, and because of that certain feel that a new car has, that used cars simply lack.ARTArticleCinema Therapy in Counseling and PsychotherapyCinema therapy is a modern therapy technique where therapists use the films as a tool in therapy.

They either see it as a world where literally every person, place and thing can literally talk to each other through sensors and wireless connectivity, and see this as a massive boon for mankind.
Other people see this same world as being quite horrific, and bringing up huge issues in terms of privacy and security, and do not believe it will ever really happen.ARTArticleDetox Cleanse Plans2017 promises to be the year of the detox cleanse. Many people swear by them and more and more health practitioners recommend them, whether it's to eliminate toxins, lose weight, or just get a fresh start. There are a multitude of detox cleanses plans and what follows are a few examples of some of the most popular cleanses:
Colon Cleanse.rARTArticleDid You Truly Choose This Path?The human body has about 100 trillion cells (plus another ten quadrillion microscopic critters hitching a ride, most of them beneficial or harmless). Each one of your cells has aims - goals, in a sense - controlled by its DNA: cells conduct processes aimed at particular functions, like building bones or gobbling up harmful invaders. Cells also work together in larger and larger assemblies in pursuit of broader goals, such as the 100 billion neurons in your brain that run the nervous system, which as a whole is itself the master regulator of the body.ARTArticleDo People Ever Make You Mad?As the most social and loving species on the planet, we have the wonderful ability and inclination to connect with others, be empathic, cooperate, care, and love.ARTArticleDo You Accept The Gift?Life gives to each one of us in so many ways.
For starters, there’s the bounty of the senses – including chocolate chip cookies, jasmine, sunsets, wind singing through pine trees, and just getting your back scratched.
What does life give you?
Consider the kindness of friends and family, made more tangible during a holiday season, but of course continuing throughout the year.ARTArticleDo You Bear a Grudge?Goodwill and ill will are about intention: the will is for good or ill. These intentions are expressed through action and inaction, word and deed, and-especially-thoughts. How do you feel when you sense another person taking potshots at you in her mind? What does it feel like to take potshots of your own? Ill will plays a lot of mini-movies in the simulator, those little grumbling stories about other people. Remember: while the movie is running, your neurons are wiring together.ARTArticleDo You Care?Compassion is essentially the wish that beings not suffer - from subtle physical and emotional discomfort to agony and anguish - combined with feelings of sympathetic concern.
You could have compassion for an individual (a friend in the hospital, a co-worker passed over for a promotion), groups of people (victims of crime, those displaced by a hurricane, refugee children), animals (your pet, livestock heading for the slaughterhouse), and yourself.ARTArticleDo You Got To?We're pulled and prodded by financial pressures, commuter traffic, corporate policies, technology, advertising, politics, and the people we work with and live with. As well, internal forces yank the proverbial chains, including emotional reactions, compelling desires, "shoulds," and internalized "voices" from parents and other authority figures.
Sometimes these pressures are necessary, like a flashing light on your car's dashboard telling you to get gas. Even a broken clock is right two times a day.ARTArticleDoes It Feel Safe With Other People?We all know this fear. You're walking down a street, someone you don't know comes toward you, and there's a second or more of wariness, scanning, apprehension, and tension or bracing in the body: a barely conscious assessment of possible threat. Or you step into a meeting with people you know and still there could be a watchfulness, a restraint, a certain carefulness in how you speak that comes more from subtle anxiety than reasonable prudence.ARTArticleFasting and AsceticismMost of us probably do not realize that when we meditate or fast for a spiritual reason we are partaking in asceticism, one of the oldest known spiritual disciplines. Asceticism is the practice of rigorous self-denial and active self-restraint performed as a spiritual discipline. The origins of asceticism are traced to prehistory, to primitive and archaic society.ARTArticleFasting in JainismAlthough Jainism is one of the smallest organized religions, it has the most pervasive practice of fasting.

Prior to undertaking a fast, the participant makes a vow, considered a formal statement of intent.ARTArticleFruits, Vegetables and Cognitive HealthWhen it comes to what we eat, we tend to worry more about our waistlines than we do our brains. But a diet that contains a wide assortment of healthy fruits and vegetables doesn’t just benefit your body, research indicates it can protect your brain from cognitive decline as you age.
In order to defend against a variety of age-related conditions that can impair your memory and the general functioning of your brain, a good first step is to concentrate on incorporating nutrients into your diet from a variety of fruits and vegetables.ARTArticleGaia's PTSD PleaHave you ever thought about how Mother Earth was feeling? Well, she shows just that through mirroring our negative emotions that have collectively caused all sorts of catastrophic pain. If you visualize connecting to her crystalline core heart deep within the center of her spirit (who is called by Gaia) you may just find out how she is hurting.ARTArticleGuide to Buying a Pickup TruckSales of pickup trucks are for more significant compared to car or auto sales than most people realise. Pickup trucks are a huge part of the auto vehicle industry, and the process of buying or leasing one can in many ways been a lot more expensive than that of simply buying a car.
Anyone looking to buy a pickup truck can easily be overwhelmed by the sheer volume and choice that is available, not simply in terms of manufacturers, but in terms of type of truck and interior features as well.ARTArticleIs It Hard?Sometimes things are difficult. Your legs are tired and you still have to stay on your feet another hour at work. You love a child who's finding her independence through emotional distance from you. A long-term relationship could be losing its spark. It's finals week in college. You're trying to start a business and it's struggling. You've got a chronic health problem or a disability. Sometimes people don't appreciate your work. You're being discriminated against or otherwise treated unjustly. The body ages, sags, and grows weary.
