Beyond Blue

Russell Bishop over at the Huffington Post has an interesting take on multitasking. I like his distinction between multiple goals versus multitasking. He writes: When you take on a goal, figure out what you have to deliver in order to succeed, and then determine the steps necessary, you must manage the process one step at…

I apologize if this post reads like your grandmother’s obituary, but I want to drive home a very important point: STRESS KILLS YOU. I’ve always known that chronic and severe stress can damage your body and mind, blocking the fluid communication to and from most organs-especially in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and in the limbic…

On Mindful Monday, my readers and I practice the art of pausing, TRYING to be still, or considering, ever so briefly, the big picture. We’re hoping this soul time will provide enough peace of mind to get us through the week! As I mentioned on my Ash Wednesday video, I am dedicating each Monday during…

I really liked this passage from Father Bede Jarrett, a Dominican priest from England, because it takes the pressure off of me to figure out my life and calling and therefore loosens the harness of my self-expectations. On the other hand, it makes me a little nervous that Fr. Bede uses the analogy that God…

You all know of my editor, Holly, because I talk about her all the time and because I interviewed her way back. Now she and Valerie Reiss, Beliefnet’s holistic health editor have combined talents and skills in their blog “Fresh Living.” Because I feel like I’m “stale living” so much, with not-so-great smells surrounding me,…

One of my favorite Fresh Living blogs is Valerie’s “Cancer-free-aversary & a Chemo Cocktail Recipe” because she approaches this topic with such humility. I have a good friend who was also was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and I know how much she suffered. To read Valerie on this topic, check out her blog. Here’s an…

You absolutely have to watch this video of Holly chanting. She sent it to me right after she made it with a question mark, just like I did to her after I taped “The 12 Bipolar Days of Christmas.” Actually, though, I think she’s even braver than me on this one. Go check it out…

Check out Holly and Valerie’s “11 Ways to Live Fresh.” After I read it, I started writing out all the names of my friends and finding verbs for each letter. They weren’t as poetic as this Fresh Living post.

This is a very interesting list of videos Psych Central contributor Sandra Klume compiled. She writes, “Cognitive to clinical to social, the many applications of psychology reveal profound thoughts, human frailties and strengths. These are some of the best results, framed in video players.” Click here to view the entire list. I’ve included the first…

I’ve learned in 12-step support groups that if you decide to share something important with a loved one, or try to amend a broken relationships, you should do so without any expectation of a response. I wish I had followed that advice the day I sent a family member an incredibly personal piece that I…
