Ah… inner demons.
I’ve been constantly telling people that there’s no such thing as an external solution. And, of course, the uninitiated will argue with me about it. It’s okay - I understand. You probably think that in order to be vindicated, you have to handle the issue with someone else, just like the way the [...]
I tell people to set motivating targets and goals. In fact, this is a very powerful process that motivates. Unfortunately, because of the bad rep of motivation, it seems like many people who are planing their goals never achieve them, then this leads to them thinking that motivation is a sham.
Motivation is a STATE. You [...]
All right - I know quite a few readers are out of Asia, so you may not understand Chinese (actually I don’t very much ahaha) but this is a very popular reality series in Taiwan, which was heralded in 2007 by a highly popular participant, Yang Zongwei (aka Aska Yang).
[I actually pasted Chinese text, but [...]
Some people think of love as this cycle of romance and stability. It’s pretty amazing what can happen as a result of the way a person thinks, creating a mental match, an illusion of a relationship. Here’s a post written by Kloudiia and her advice, which I think makes perfect sense.

Faltering. That’s a big word for people who have been enjoying success and have been building their businesses, careers, relationships… what happens when we falter?
I’d like to take up the idea that we need to know what to do AFTER we falter. Let’s face it - each time you consider mental detox, you need a [...]
Well, you know life sucks when you’re drenched in the rain waiting for a cab to show up only to know that you are going to have to pay an extra $4 for calls, right? It seems that most cabs aren’t going to wait around for you to call them - they are also in [...]
In most parts of psychotherapy, people believe that the attachment issue creates problems. For instance, if you were a child and you felt too much “attachement” to your mother, it would give rise to problems in school.
But attachment was a natural, God-given instinct.
Somewhere along the line, we got detached. Today, I meet seminar participants who [...]
Geez, I’m glad I’ve been taking my own ‘medicine’ these few years. Over the many past posts, I’d been blogging about anger management and stress relief. Why? Well, mostly because a large number of people are in need of this, based on my contact with them.
Well… more importantly, I knew I needed it - personal [...]
I’ve been going around the web looking at other people’s blogs and every once in a while you find a great story. This one at wadingthroughrecovery.blogspot.com was particularly interesting because it highlights how someone could overcome the problem of binge eating. I think it must have taken great strength to break free from something like [...]
There comes a time in a person’s life where he or she makes a decision. A major decision. It’s a reevaluation of everything that’s happened in life, and the final choice - to keep in that way or change forever.
