The Category Mistake

Teaching and living with Anxiety are very similar. Between adapting to daily challenges and learning that getting 100 percent of what you want for the day will never happen.

Do you struggle to find why you stress over things that people say are normal? Then welcome to my club. Let's talk about it

Have you ever had someone tell you not to stress out? Was I one of those people? Maybe we should start listening instead of controlling what people think and feel? Let's Chat.

I want to explore my anxiety and how my years of denying it and making fun of people with it have made it difficult to deal with it now.

Good versus evil isn't always Sith versus Jedi. We look at our history and believe that we, as a society, can tell the difference between good and evil. The British were evil in 1776, but now they are good, the Germans were evil in 193,0, but today a huge trade partner. China is evil, then good, then evil again. Before we think that our world today is so different from the past, maybe we shoul...

To err is human, to forgive is divine. I also believe learning from your mistakes in actions, thoughts, or beliefs is divine. While I still think that the world needs some drastic changes, change for the sake of change is not what is best for any of us. Common beliefs and sympathy do not make us sheep, they make us humans, and we need more humans in this world than we need people telling us we are...

Are we really in a time and place where we have forgotten who we are and why we are as a people? I am tired of all the dumb things going on in the world that I helped create. I say no more; who is with me?

We need to stop treating our daughters like princesses, instead, treat them like you expect greatness. You cannot get greatness from them if you never expect it. I know that I have a lot of princesses in my life. And for them and all of the rest of you in this world, I want you to know, you are the future and I expect you to change the world, so don't disappoint me. Got it!!!

The statement pride comes before the fall is a good statement at most times. Unless you are in 2025 and you don't have anyone to tell you how proud they are of you and all you do. I have had many people in my life, my wife, my kids, my grandkids, and my siblings have all done amazing things with their lives and I hope they know how amazing they are. Also out there are people who maybe need a r...

Kids these days, boomers, Gen x what do we all have in common? We have feelings and today more then ever our feelings are more important then others. Why, what happened? When did feelings become more important then facts. Let's explore.

Why are you afraid of death, living, and even talking to your family? Why haven't we as human beings evolved past the concept of fear? We have been dying for millions of years right? Why hasn't that changed, why haven't we evolved past the awkward thing called death? Lets talk about it?

In this time of voting for me or not voting for them, remember you are the only person who can improve your life. No candidate can change your life, stop wishing and hoping they can.

Are we going to have a Civil War on November 6, 2024? According to the news and social media we are. Instead of fighting why not just realize the only groups pushing for our divide are the people reporting about that divide? Talk to your family instead of watching groups of people who make more money when we hate each other.

Jesus once told the old cranky people in Isreal that they needed to come into the kingdom of God like little children. There is also a saying out of the mouth of babes. Sometimes we need to listen to the younger people in our lives to get a new perspective, or go back and understand the perspective of 100 years ago and how maybe today's youth just remind us of the values from so long ago. Thank yo...

Who in your life helps you grow? Who do you help grow and change? Is change bad, or is it something that helps you grow and be a better person? Today I talk about how everyday we are around people who can either change us for the good, or the bad. Remember though, you are also changing them for the good and the bad. The question is are they helping you grow and are you helping them?

Sometimes we are grumpy, frustrated, and overall upset with the world. Maybe we should start to be good to one another, not just to the people we must, but to people we see and meet daily. George Bailey once said " Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to ha...

When someone apologizes for wronging you, do you forgive them? When you forgive do you forget? True forgiveness is hard, but we should all try it. If I can do it, you can do it.

Why do we apologize for speaking the truth? Why do we apologize for living in a way that makes us and our family safe and happy? No one should ever apologize for being ourselves and we should also not expect others to apologize to us for doing what is best for them and their families. I'm Sorry is a powerful statement, lets start using it the way it is meant to be used, use it as a statement t...

Every day we have so many options for spending and using our time. Giving five or even ten minutes to a person when they need someone to listen can change not just their world but the world as a whole. The world has pushed us to worry more about me over we, the human race needs more we. And only WE can fix it.

For most of our lives, we are told to go after our dreams and our dream job. If you're like me your dream job ideas have changed a lot since you were 8, 18, and even 28. What we need to understand is it is not just your dreams it's doing something with your life that makes you complete. I have mine, do you have yours?

Every day we get bombarded with the world telling us what to think, how to act, and how to be important enough for the world to care about us. Tell the world and all its negativity that their opinion does not matter. Tell yourself, tell others that you care about that they matter. They matter, You Matter, not just to your friends, not just your family, but to the creator of the Universe. From now...

Sometimes we push ourselves to care for all the people around us instead of thinking about caring for ourselves. Not just our physical well-being, but our mental well-being. Let us explore how my mind deals with the concept of Quality Mental Health.

How have we become so angry that we no longer care about each other? We are so angry that we are now trying to assassinate Presidential candidates. We can no longer have breakfast together without the precursor of no talking politics. We also have stopped caring about people who need compassion and caring. What Are We Doing!!!!!

To Phone or not to Phone? That is the question not just for me but for everyone I know. I struggle with how a small piece of technology can run my life and everyone else around me. From Blackberry to the OG iPhone cellphones have grown not just in power but also in the power to control our everyday life.
