Walking . Thinking . Learning

I have also been thinking allot about mind control. I [...]

 
Today is my 50th birthday and I choose to celebrate my own survival and prosperity this day. I claim every good thing for myself. I look forward to a whole new decade of discovery and growth. I thank the universe for helping me to get over my self [self and negative perceptions of my personality [...]

Today as I took my 5 mile walk I had to clear allot of fallen branches along the path as we have had a lot of heavy winds in the last couple of days. It reminded me that this journal hopefully performs the same purpose in some way. I hope that in relating my own experiences [...]

 
My Depression preceded the Worldwide Economic Crisis of 2008 by a few months and for that I am grateful. I don’t think I could have taken the entire planet writhing in pain at the same time that I was. It would have made “my world” even darker.

 I am amazed that many of the people that I have been closest to in my life have had a history of suicide attempts. I guess it was just something in me that gave me some sort of understanding of these souls or maybe it was for my own understanding and protection because I was [...]

Sometimes when I read Deepak Chopra, I am reminded of the old saying: vanity, vanity, all is vanity. If everything around us is simply perception, why then do we even bother doing anything, why did he bother to write the book. If there is nothing that exists outside of us, then why go on? Is everything [...]

I first have to state a disclaimer. I am not a psychiatrist or a psychologist or a mental health professional. I am a man recovering from a serious depression and I offer my story as one of a simple example of what has worked for me. I am recovering from depression without using any prescription [...]

Following up on yesterday’s post on “Letting Go Of Hurts”, I had some more thoughts. While on my walk I realized that part of my problem is that I am hording my pain like it’s a treasure. I am giving it more life by picking it up and examining and analyzing it way too much. I have done enough releasing of these [...]
