On the path (8/16/21)
I'm sitting in my office and taking a brain break before my next meeting. I keep thinking about my recent discovery in reiki and where my life has gone since I made the decision to accept the light.

5 Lessons I’ve Learned From 4 Years of Procrastination
“You stop procrastinating when the pain of not doing something is greater than the pain of doing it” Tony Robbins. I procrastinated for four precious years of my life. I was always the one who left every single task to the last moment. I would always tell myself that I will start work from tomorrow but that tomorrow never came. It was a never-ending cycle.

Address the Elephant in the Room
It popped up a few times on my Facebook feed that my local division of Mind, a mental health charity, were arranging a campaign during July. This was launched to help raise awareness of mental health, and encourage people to be able to talk about this tricky subject. There were a few ways people can support this campaign: buying a badge, placing an elephant in your window, and also by purchasing a crochet kit to make an elephant. So naturally, I chose to buy a kit!

Extreme Cherophobia
Remember when you were little, and you were able to eat something that gave you comfort, or cuddle in your favorite blankets or with your favorite stuffed animal? No matter how bad things got when you were a child, or how bad things are now that you are an adult, you can always bring up the memory of being safe and comfortable, even if it is only one time in your life? A smell, a taste, the weight of a blanket, will send you back to that time where you were happy and cared for.

Reflection
The pond is frozen solid. The long winter dug her heels in and cursed us with unseasonably cold temperatures. It will take weeks for this ice to thaw. I gingerly sit on the outcropping that hangs over the best fishing spot. The drop is only four feet, but I approach it like it's the Grand Canyon. Old age makes one careful and a fall on ice can easily break a bone.

Psychotherapy - The Right Way of Helping
Any mental health condition not only affects the individual suffering from it but also exerts demands from other people around. Family members and friends face the challenge of caring for and supporting the person through his/her journey towards better psychological well-being. As the burden of mental disorders is increasing globally, I am sure we all must have come across someone, in our family or a friend, who appears to be suffering from a mental health condition.

The End of the World as We Know It
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. So goes the lyric from the alternative rock band, REM’s song by the same name.

The Summer of Not Giving a Crap
So it’s the middle of summer. Here, in Texas, that of course means we’re just in phase 1 of a multi-phase summer process. My personal summer began right at the end of spring, however. When I bought a pair of shorts.

From Cat’s Cradle to Sculpture: The Path to a Peaceful Being
I can date my love of creating through thread-making way back to the playground game of Cat’s Cradle. The game, played by two or more, involves nothing more than taking a piece of string about 40 inches long and winding it into an open formation – the Cat’s Cradle - around both hands. The formation is then taken, and changed in the process, by the next player. The game continues by passing while changing the intricate shapes, needing concentration and collaboration. The game provides both focus and fun.
