MDJunction to me

saralaurie"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

a HugA glass of water…

I heard this story a few days ago and want to share it with you…

A psychologist is having a talk about anxiety. She lifts a glass half with water and the audience wonder if she is going to ask if the glass is half full or half empty. She asks:
“ What is the weight of the glass with the water?” The audience answered from 250g up to 1 kg.

Then she started talking…”The weight doesn’t matter…but what matter is how long you hold it in your hand. If you hold it for a few minutes there will be no difference, if you hold it for an hour your arm will get sore and pain a bit and if you hold it for a day…you will have sore shoulders, pain in your back, needles and pins in your arm and a lot more pain. The longer you hold on to this glass the more severe the pain and despair.

This is how anxiety touches our lives. If we think about it a few minutes and not give it much thought it will be OK. Thinking longer and more intense about it, it will have a effect on your life and when we dwell on it, thinking every minute about it, it will consume your day and life. It will consume us and it will eat us bit by bit. It will feel like we don’t know where to go and where to turn…

Now, if you have this feeling of had it before…shift your attention to someone or something that can make you thankful for living. If you fill your heart with sorrow and worries then this feeling of thankfulness will disappear. Be thankful for today and what you have in this day and in the people closest to you. Concentrate on that. It will lift your spirit and shift you focus to a better place.”

ps I found this a few days ago and wat to share it with you. Take care.
