STRESSED FEELINGS OF PEOPLE, ANXIOUS PEOPLE

Stressed feelings are an overload signal, like a surge protector. If your life is a barrel, it carries everything important inside. We add and subtract, move things around. Now and then it overflows. It’s not a ‘disturbance in the force,’ overflow, not at first. But it is messy. Now what? You need to ask?

EMOTIONAL RESISTANCE TRAINING RESCUE

Emotional resistance training is more than ignoring bad news and waiting for clouds to lift. It takes a little work, a little effort.

BLOG READERS, BOTS, AND WRITERS

Google analytics on blog readers is either the biggest tattletale in history, or an effective research tool. It shows and tells where blog readers like you find boomerpdx. Apparently I’m a big hit in Chicago, at least that’s what the bots say. Bot? What else hits a blogger page fifty times for an average of […]
