How Do I Overcome Anxiety? Part 3 of 4
In last week's installment of the four-part series on anxiety, we talked about getting rid of the "I."
Today, we're going to shift our perspective away from us.
The University of California at Berkley conducted a study where some of the subjects were shown pictures of awe-inspiring, magnificent things like the Grand Canyon or the Taj Mahal. ...
How Do I Overcome Anxiety? Part 2 of 4
Quick question. Don't think too long before you answer this. If you wanted help with a particular problem, where would you first go?
I’ll admit: for me, it’s Google. (Yeah, I know, the right answer is "God" but I am working on that. Or, more specifically, He's working on me on that!)
Back in the day, if ...
How Do I Overcome Anxiety – Part 1 of 4
We had a few friends over for dinner the other day. Admittedly, we are privileged to call some of them “friends” because they are considerably cooler—and younger—than my husband and me. Given that we had a somewhat captive audience we decided to bore them with old pictures of ourselves. As my hubbers showed them pictures ...
A Christmas Lesson From A Coffee Shop
The Toffee Crunch Mocha Latte called my name.
I deliberated over the other options.
The americano with a splash of milk. Way fewer calories.
The cappuccino with a foamy heart. Way more sensible.
The south Indian filter coffee. Way more familiar.
But the Toffee Crunch Mocha Latte was just more… holiday-y. This is the season to indulge, they say. So ...
“Do Not Be Anxious…” But How???
How many times have you shown up embarrassingly early to someone’s birthday party?
For me, the answer to that one would be: Er, too many to count.
I’ve waited in parking lots and entryways to party halls more times than I care to remember. I’ve helped friends haul armfuls of decorations and cakes with way too much ...
These 7 Lessons Can Steer You Through Transitions
Here’s something immigrants do. They immigrate. (What can I say, except that I’m clearly brilliant with definitions??)
As far as the US goes, the ‘American Dream' draws many of us to its shores. It’s the dream of owning your own home with a white picket fence where you can raise your kidlings who will eventually go ...
Do Not Be Anxious? But How??? (Free E-book)
This may be TMI, but recently I found that my hair was falling like crazy. You could literally trace my path through my house because I left a trail behind me like a dystopic Gretel (The one with the breadcrumb trail from the rather disturbing fairytale). My bathroom floor, pillows, the kitchen counter, and every ...
When You Feel Like You’re Not In Control
“What in the world am I doing on this thing?”
That single thought seized me as I found myself suspended from what was essentially a swing on steroids, 40 feet above the ground.
The “thing” was actually called “The Giant Swing” and it was one of the activities at an adventure park we visited over the weekend.
Not ...
The (Surprising) Thing To Do When You’re Overwhelmed
Chances are, you have a lot on your plate at the moment.
Scratch that.
Chances are, you don’t just have one plate with stuff on it, but so many that you could possibly open a crockery store. (Anyone think they have enough inventory to start a Corelle franchise with me?)
Chances are, most of us are overwhelmed by ...
