Who knew?

Half my life ago, I was a hysterical female and my world didn't make sense. I finally stopped spinning, realizing I was creating my own chaos, I began shifting the gears in the motion I needed to let off all that old steam that had been building from things that were clogging me with an emotional blindness.

I'm calm now. God is my Zen Master. And now, the world, itself, doesn't make any sense.

So, I cut my hair.

(oh, and by the way -- nobody really noticed.)

Self Examination -- from Not A Doctor

Here is a quote from the Thought for Today ~~

If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self pity, these adverse situations that look like they could bury us, have within them the very real potential to make us unshakeable.

Panic will do you in right away. It stops your thinking process. The best thing to do, the very best thing to do, is, as the quote alludes to -- Face whatever problem or situation is giving you the feeling of panic -- it is the only way to stop the process that is going on in your brain.

This morning I found this site - PanicEnd.com. Just reading this entry explains so many things about Feelings of Panic. They do come from somewhere. The brain has hosted them for you at your request and will keep them hostage and keep feeding that inlet of entry to the brain unless we make a conscious effort to stop it.

Your brain is always trying to help you. And, if you think you need to be fearful, your brain will try to keep that feeling going for you. In the end, it is us who is causing all that we feel. Your thoughts make your body react as it does.

Take the time to control your thoughts. Ask yourself questions. --

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates --

That is such a powerful statement. That is self analysis. We all need that. Reflection on our actions, where they come from and the whys; don't be afraid to look at that ! Embrace it. Take a few minutes everyday to reflect. It won't hurt you one little bit.

Learn to know yourself. If you have to Reinvent Yourself - do it.

One of the real sources of a lot of Fear in our lives? -- Change. It is my opinion, that Fear of Change is one of the biggest things to face. People are afraid of the unknown. But every phase of life is unknown!! And Change, in my opinion, Change is gonna come, without a doubt, it's always, always something you can count on. Don't fear it. Live it.

You never experience something until you have gone through it the first time, anyway. You have already been through the unknown if you survived your childhood! It's amazing to me that I fell out of really high trees (I mean I knocked the breath out of myself and couldn't walk!), got hit by a car (Seriously, my bike flew up in the air and so did I!), and never told my parents (at 7 years old!); I faced many dangers that my parents are totally unaware of even at this time in my old age.

It's not that I didn't trust my parents, but I was just so afraid of losing my bike. Now, isn't that just childhood logic? My bike was my freedom, as I saw it then, and I would keep silent to keep my freedom. And I developed that habit of secrecy as I got older.

I keep bad happenings quietly inside for fear of losing something I loved. I fed this without even knowing I was doing it. As I got older, these things I had keep quieted were all connected to fear, making a steady path in my brain. It would probably take a novel to link all those fears to different things in my life that they influenced. I know now, I can just stop them. I won't lose my bike.

I think a lot of our original fears come from childhood...before we were aware that we were aware of our very existence, we were having to deal with things and store them in our brains. *We* store them. The brain just reacts to them as we program it too. *We* can let them go. Release them. They are nothing but electrons and neurons.

It's all a head trip. The rest is just what is going on around you. Don't let it get you down.

One change

Things can look like normal things in a day.
Then, another sun can rise, and another day brings things that causes people nervousness.
Tomorrow is that day. We will see what happens.
And try to pay attention to how much effect the change will cause to the world....our world.
