Words have become tricky these days! During the election the situation reached nearly intolerable levels, but, letâ€™s face it, itâ€™s a general epidemic. For example, in the months leading up to the election, if I looked at how bad things are and said I wanted to see a â€œchangeâ€, it was no longer considered a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Itâ€™s certainly become more difficult to keep treading water when itâ€™s rising everywhere. Financial worries, too few jobs, constant fear â€“ these days itâ€™s a flood of epic proportions! But while Iâ€™ve talked about stress before, this time I think we need to deal with discouragement and despair. Itâ€™s seems that just plain â€œgiving upâ€ [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once asked a pessimist friend of mine why he persisted in expecting the worst of every situation. He responded with a variation of an old proverb: &#8220;They told me to cheer up; things could get worse! So I cheered up. And they were right, things got worse!&#8221;
I have to admit he touched upon the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people accept that there is room for improvement in their lives and their behavior. Nobody&#8217;s life is perfect, and every unpleasant feeling or uncomfortable situation is a motivation for change. Why then do we often find it difficult to change?
Everybody who has tried to break a habit like smoking or chewing their fingernails knows [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Writing regularly gives me a chance to explore many different thoughts and feelings. Sometimes I&#8217;m very serious, but other times I can&#8217;t help laughing as I write. Erma Bombeck I&#8217;m not, but I enjoy sharing my light-hearted moods with you, the reader.
Without humor, life would be unbearably flat, and our conversations exceedingly dull. Our lack [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the ironies of life is that when we most need help, it&#8217;s often hard to know where to go to get it! As a psychologist, I am often faced with clients who are afraid to tell anyone that they are getting professional help. It&#8217;s a variation of the belief that &#8216;anyone who goes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have You Been Less Than Perfect Today?
A lot of readers found a chord touched by the book excerpt on Self-Fulfilling Prophecies (SFP). But I wrote that book from the perspective of a manager working with other people. Being a business manual, it was focused on the Other rather than the Self. It&#8217;s important to look [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unless you&#8217;re exceptionally lucky, you know what it&#8217;s like when the proverbial bottom falls out of things. It&#8217;s such an epidemic that we have lots of words to describe it: the pits, the dumps, so far down it feels like up, on our knees, flat on our back. Okay, okay, you get the picture, and [...]]]></description>

Medication may be of little use in some cases. Just lying down and doing nothing is often the only treatment that brings any relief. Some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There seems to be a fine line between acknowledging that old age has some inherent characteristics, and assuming that being old is a problem in itself. Lumping all older people together into a category is unfair. Assuming they all have the same problems is also unfair. It&#8217;s a form of discrimination.

It&#8217;s easy to do this [...]]]></description>
