As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down! I think this just changed my life. Well, my mind has been blown. :D

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”

Why must it be hard?

Seriously, I am asking this question and would love an answer.

Why must the search for that one special person, who can make your heart skip a beat, be so incredibly hard. I really dislike thinking that I will end up alone for the rest of my life and yet it’s a distinct possibility. Yes, I will always have friends and family but they cannot fill the void that is only reserved for only one person.

I’m tired right now so my mind is starting to drift to that strange part of my mind that thinks negatively which is why I’m thinking like this. Having an answer to this question though might keep these thoughts at bay, for a while at least.

Emotions

Sometimes the answer to most of your troubles can be as something as obscure as your own emotions.

I’ve had problems dealing with negativity, pessimistic thoughts and depressive moments and it has occurred while experiencing one of these depressive moods that perhaps the reason why I feel and think these ways is because I don’t have enough control over my emotions.

I’ve basically decided that I am going to train my mind so it knows how to identify and handle the various emotions that affect me in a negative way as well as be more optimistic and positive.

I would have said that I hope this works out but I think I’ll say it will work, that’s me being more optimistic and that’s only the start.

This makes NO sense.

I’m on one of few asexual dating sites and on one of them you can see a bunch of new members at the home page. One of them had a picture of a person who took a photo of their topless body and covered their head…this makes total sense on a F**KING ASEXUAL DATING SITE(!)

If there’s one thing I don’t understand it’s people who take pictures of their bodies but cover their face from the picture, like that’s going to help me understand what kind of person you are.

Annoyed and stuff.

I have been trying to write all day and I all have is a blank page. God f**king damn it.

I have dozens of ideas that would make great stories and I don’t want to write any of them. I am really annoyed and unable to think. Would be nice to bounce ideas off of someone and gain some inspiration.

It’s not just writing, I don’t feel like doing anything, I am amazed that I am even able to type this up write now. Either I’m depressed or seriously lacking enthusiasm or something else.

theveganarchist: odinsblog: Rachel Maddow breaks it down so simply that an 8th grader could understand it: ExxonMobil is more profitable than Walmart, Google, McDonald’s, American Express and Goldman Sachs combined Exxon’s fine for the oil Pegasus Pipeline spill in Arkansas is only a tiny fraction of its daily profit Again, Exxon paid just a tiny fraction of its daily profit for the entire Yellowstone oil spill This begs (at least) three questions: Why does the U.S. Government even subsidize oil companies in the first place? Why doesn’t our government have more serious fines for oil spills? AND ARE WE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE?!? REALLY? NO, REALLY?  The Keystone Pipeline will absolutely, positively spring a leak already has sprung several leaks The oil industry has no clue how to clean up or prevent the leaks and they aren’t even exploring new technologies for oil spill clean ups The KXL Pipeline will go through a MAJOR clean water drinking aquifer. Is America so stupid to “drill baby drill” that we’re willing to endanger our most valuable non-renewable resource —water— for a finite fossil fuel that wind and solar tech will ultimately replace? This needs WAY more notes.
