Depression. One of the most dangerous emotions to experience, especially when times are not good for us. When the going gets tough, some people jump. It’s a sad truth, but sometimes we really need the ability and strategy to eliminate the prescient when we needed most. For instance, some of us turn to solving, groaning, […]
I just read this article about anger management and a few things began to resonate. I find that people often use the phrase “anger management” as if it is a cure, as the author puts it.
I don’t believe that anger is ‘curable’. All of us are human, and we deserve moments of anger as respite. […]

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,

Depression is by far one of the most common emotional states that people will have especially in civilized society. I believe most people have experienced depression one time in their life or other, but at the same time, what happens when it gets out of hand?

I’ve been asked this many times about how to handle anger and it seems that anger management is one of the prime issues faced by many nowadays.

The concept of anger management actually came to public attention only after the show by Ben Stiller of “There’s Something About Mary” fame. It was an infuriating […]
I think many of us constantly find ourselves in moments of fear and anxiety because of the many pressures in life. We obviously need to be constant in our ways to reap the benefits of work and wealth.
But in spite of all that material pursued of success, I think the true meaning is found when […]
Here’s an interesting model for change, which I found after doing some research on the web.
The stages and processes are described by Prochaska, DiClemente and Norcross (1992).
1. Precontemplation: Individual has the problem (whether he/she recognises it or not) and has no intention of changing.
Processes:
Consciousness raising (information and knowledge)
Dramatic relief (role playing)
Environmental reevaluation (how […]
I’m at that moment where the universe seems to have opened up itself to me. The sudden flash of realization.
I’m not sure if you’ve had such a flash of realization before. I do know, however, that the process by which this took place was a combination of patience, confusion, worry and a tinge of frustration. […]
It’s interesting that energy patterns around us have a distinct effect on our physiology. Most of us are not aware of EMF (electromagnetic frequencies) and even thought waves. However, the fact is you can modify the quality of things around you simply by changing your thought patterns.
I find that our own level of thought-toxcity is […]
