Hooked On Healing

So just how “moody” are you? After all, we humans are truly creatures of our temperaments and tempers. How often does your mood fluctuate or rise and fall? I’ll bet at times that you can easily forgive yourself for your mistakes. At other times, your frame of mind shifts and you feel shame or undeserving of any love or respect whatsoever.

Do you ever feel guilt or shame without really being able to put your finger on why? You attended a social event and were convinced that people there did not especially like you. Or maybe you were just there for the free food? Speaking of which, I won’t be impressed with technology till I can download food. But seriously, they say: Some people look for a beautiful place. Others make a place beautiful. If you sensed that no one liked you, is there any evidence for what you came to believe?

What does it mean to you to feel utterly happy? What if I told you that you don’t always have to feel as anxious and unsettled as you usually do? The truth is that we humans scarcely appreciate the beauty and wonder that lies all around us.

How often do you find yourself questioning and doubting your own judgment? I used to think I was indecisive, but I’m not too sure anymore. Sheesh. You made a decision, but for some unknown reason it has now come under intense scrutiny and review by none other than you. Don’t let the mixed signals fool you. Indecision is a decision.

Do you keep a tight rein on your impulses and control your intense appetites? What about chances you never took because you were afraid of the risks involved? Have you stayed with a job your whole life due to exaggerated fear of change? You know what they say: If you don’t take risks, you will always work for someone who does.

On any given day, you might be discussing the most profound things with your mate or best friend—the political upheaval in the world or what love language you prefer. As the saying goes: “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.” Perhaps you watch a documentary about the effects of social media on children.
