(I don't believe this medical condition is a result of your age.)<br /><br />The sore on your foot is a way your body is getting your attention. With this said, I wonder if you have fears about your future, what's ahead of you? Perhaps feeling stuck or unwilling to let go of? <br /><br />My hunch is you've been hurt, feeling betrayed and you're very angry. <br /><br />Keep in touch,<br />GlendaGlenda Gibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221842123890151159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506915079120624019.post-74488044034148052722012-06-24T10:53:06.555-07:002012-06-24T10:53:06.555-07:00Hello where to find men,

I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and yes you got it. This is really informative and I will for sure refer my friends the same. Thanks.<br /><br /><a href="http://liveandsucceed.com/" rel="nofollow">positive thinking</a>live and succeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333679400735561172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506915079120624019.post-90545752360036817702012-03-29T07:07:36.854-07:002012-03-29T07:07:36.854-07:00Kudo’s to you for helping your friend get a job. I...Kudo’s to you for helping your friend get a job. I’m sure he is most appreciative having your support along with the other board members. <br /><br />This woman’s attempt to make your life miserable is unacceptable; it’s also indicative of how she feels about and treats herself – unwilling to address her issues, she’s projected them onto you. Her behavior is one of a bully and yours is a victim. Her behavior is identified as aggressive as yours is passive. Most of us have experienced both. <br /><br />There is inner work for you to do. I’m guessing she is not the first bully/control freak in your life. She’s triggered / pushed your buttons. It seems it’s time for you to believe in you, love and nurture you, and by doing so, is saying NO to people treating you in this manner.<br /><br />When we have pain we seek out ways to feel better. Many of us seek out methods to numb or ignore the pain, e.g., power in an attorney’s environment, shopping, being a rescuer, over indulging with alcohol, pornography, and gambling … a tip of the iceberg. <br /><br />A metaphor: putting a Band-Aid on a boil, the Band-Aid won’t heal the boil. When the boil is bumped, there is pain; once the boil is lanced and cleaned the healing begins, the Band-Aid then assists the wound from being re-infected providing the wound is treated.<br /> <br />Back to inner work. I am a strong advocate of Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as EFT and Tapping. It looks silly and some would suggest it’s woo woo. Patterned after Chinese Acupuncture, this method (using fingers rather than needles) to collapse negative emotions is cleaning the wound.<br /><br />Go to YouTube and enter Pamela Bruner or Brad Yates, both are excellent EFT Practitioners, select a topic and join them. <br /><br />Get Louise Hay’s “You Can Heal Your Life” – read daily. If you’re not one to sit for long, begin with setting a timer for 5 minutes graduating it to 20. Or get a CD and listen to it to and from work. <br /><br />Breathe!! When we’re upset we forget to breathe. <br /><br />Seriously. Breathe in through your nose filling your belly and exhale through your mouth.<br /><br />Go for a walk, enjoy nature.<br /><br />Exercise - move.<br /><br />Sleep at least 7 hours nightly. Insomnia? Tap yourself back to sleep. <br /><br />Volunteer doing something that makes a difference, you feel happy and your endorphins kick in producing more happy feelings.<br /><br />Find things to laugh about.<br /><br />Quit thinking and over analyzing this situation. (I am not minimizing – redirecting your thought/feelings to a healthier state). Your choices weren’t malicious. Fire any negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts and emotions.<br /><br />Surround yourself with mementos of past successes, e.g., at your desk place add photos, awards, anything shifting your mind from a negative experience to a positive. Be sure to move these around as the mind gets used to the placement and after a while it’s like letting opening a door to the infection. When our mind gets bored it goes looking for something to stimulate it. <br /><br />Meditate – Go to my website, there is a free 5 minute guided meditation available. Do this daily. Do this daily. Yes, meditation is the answer to slowing your brain down and allowing God to answer your prayers. <br /><br />Pray daily. At least once a day, make a conscious choice to pray. <br /><br />Make a Gratitude list. Write on paper, daily prior to sleep all of the things you’re grateful for. Do this daily!<br /><br />Find a group of friends who support you in your greatness – rather than keeping you small and an ongoing victim. Let them love you. <br /><br />A therapist who knows EFT, Hypnosis, NLP and traditional modes of therapy, one who insists you take action and you do. <br /><br />Wishing you much success!<br /><br />Love to you,<br />GlendaGlenda Gibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01221842123890151159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506915079120624019.post-60565370849160379532012-03-28T14:48:35.808-07:002012-03-28T14:48:35.808-07:00I was deeply hurt by someone on the board of trust...I was deeply hurt by someone on the board of trustee's at my church, she was very angry about not having a say who was our night whatchman at our church.

And then I read your blog "Do they understand?" and I can see that I'm way off track here . . . not that what I wrote doesn't have merit, it's just that I'm in a learning process of communication within a mind that is overly analytical, and that's putting my mind's-eye mildly. Since I cannot edit my first comment, I wish to start over again. I actually find myself writing like this all of the time. I usually don't publish things I cannot edit. I do have some blunders out there!! Please bare with me.<br /><br />Communication with other people started becoming important to me around January of 2008. I had served nearly five years of my current sentence clean and sober, yet I was angry and very difficult to communicate with. Other prisoners avoided me . . . literally detouring around me, for fear they would say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing and upset me; creating a confrontation that may become physical which was undesireable to say the least. I had already been in several fights, of which I didn't lose; earning me the coveted reputation of being "dangerous". I was a beast of a man with an ugly disposition. I weighed 260 pounds with very little fat. I had been power lifting for nearly five years now. I would spend 4-6 hours every day lifting weights and exercizing. Everyone was scared to death of me and I liked it that way.<br /><br />But things were about to change and my life would soon take on whole new meaning, that would not only create positive change within myself, but within the majority those who would eventually begin to surround me.<br /><br />Glenda . . . I have the most amazing story to tell, but I need help with communicating it. I'm doing the best that I can on my own, but it doesn't seem to be working, for I am creating unwanted waves in certain peoples lives that connot be brought back. I see these waves as a residual adverse effect of my everyday decision-making process. I seek guidance, for I am about to enter the political world where no one with my criminal history has ever gone before.John Doe Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506915079120624019.post-40183141998525388402012-02-04T09:28:11.615-08:002012-02-04T09:28:11.615-08:00Glenda,
I like your train of thought, however . ....Glenda,<br /><br />I like your train of thought, however . . . "If I don't know you personally, what you think of me is none of my business" is a rule of thumb that I developed and eventually had no other choice but to adhere to while living within the cloaked environment of prison where peer preasure is a powerful and lucrative tool of corruption and deceit. A moving force with a compelling nature . . . that conforming towards the superficial needs, lifestyles and/or loyalties portrayed by those around you, whether in prison or on the streets, brings oneself outside the realm of comfortability (one's own skin).<br /><br />In other words, the quality of a place to make the student (grasshopper) feel perfectly at home or at ease, resides within the ability of the teacher (master) to humble him/herself and not back said grasshopper into a corner --of any measure-- with no other way out but forward. In prison, this is how a coward becomes tough, severly lessening their likelihood of long term survival within the free world. And it is not just fellow convicts that may back you into a corner, but the keeper him/herself may very well cross over to the wrong side of that hard line should s/he smell your fear . . . that which is readily available around every corner, within every heart. Not unlike the masked characters I am having to deal with today firsthand . . . that the hypocrisy hiding behind said mask is not so different, out here, in the free world . . . where *now, I am left with no other choice but to stand my preventive ground in the face of all that matters.<br /><br />*(see Paradoxaldighm Fifteen "Last chance for success")John Doe Joehttp://paradoxaldighm.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
