'Just make a choice.'
'Can't you just be grateful for what you have?' 'Cheer up, it's not that bad!' 'Lots of people have it worse off than you do.' Just some of the things people have said to me, and I'm sure to you if you live with the black dog. People mean well, but end up just making things a lot worse.

So it's my 20 year highschool reunion in three months time, and I really, really want a six pack, mostly to prove to myself that a 38 year dad doesn't need to look like santa, and I only train when I have a goal, however silly.
(Then I just need to figure out a way to take my shirt of at the reunion..., I'll post a pic if I make it. :) Our culture's idea of body beautiful has been a flat tummy for the last, i don't know, century? The ever elusive flat tummy, I'm sure many of you would agree a flat tummy is incredibly hard to achieve (after the age of 12), and even harder to keep. So we all do what I do, you suck it in. (Maybe it's time for corsets again?) Strange title for this week's blog on happiness. Why Sadness is good for you. In our culture being sad has almost become a sin, or shameful. We all have to be happy, all the time, like we're living in a GAP ad or something Sadness plays a very important part in your happiness. Yes, you read that right, sadness is important for your well being.* Emotions are just that, motions.In a chaotic world, we still have choices. In fact, in a chaotic world you may have even more choices than in a stable one. In a chaotic world, the old rules, hierarchies and traditions have little or no authority. You have a choice. |
