I found this URL for how to beat stress. http://www.hopeforlifeministry.com/stress/overcome.html
I am going to mull it over and see if it helps. I already know number 9 doesn’t work for me. I know what some of my anxiety is caused from. But that doesn’t help me fix myself.
Lately, I have felt so overwhelmed with things to worry about. I have decided to put the brakes on and try to put a name on my individual stressors and see if they are worth being stressed about and if I can do something to make things better or accept that some things are beyond my abilities to fix.
The first thing I discovered is that I worry too much about what might or could happen. O.K., I already knew that, but chose not to acknowledge it.
I am going for a scavenger hunt to find greater wisdom on this problem. Check back and see what I find.
BTW, If you have any words of wisdom, I’ll be glad to take them under advisement.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.
My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fibre, and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes.
This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasnt the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
Totally mad. Utter nonsense. But we’ll do it because it’s brilliant nonsense.
- All from Douglas Noel Adams, 1952 - 2001
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools.
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.
Before God we are equally wise - and equally foolish.
Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.
The difference between what the most and the least learned people know is inexpressibly trivial in relation to that which is unknown.
- All from Albert Einstein, 1879 - 1955
This is my BLOG on adding scrapbooking to your journaling as opposed to adding journaling to your scrapbooking. I think that it is more soul baring and therapeutic to journal with the visual aid of photographs or whatever you want to put on a scrap layout.
I have been surfing around and reading some scrap blogs. Most of them say little and give away much. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I thought the purpose of a blog was to say something. If they are used as a diary, some of these people have very dull lives, or are scared to expose themselves.
I can relate to the reluctance to hang it all out on the web, but if that is the case, why not just have a freebie site somewhere?
I would like to see more blogs geared toward teaching people how to get more journaling into their scrap layouts and possibly discussing design principles. Personally, I don’t have time to read alot of stuff going on in other peoples lives. When I do have some free time, I would prefer to be scrapping, reading or writing.
I am constantly seeking information on whatever subject that interests me for the moment.
In other words, I self educate. I have become pretty good at gathering information and putting it in a usable order. I am not sure how I can do this on the blogger system, but I am going to put up journaling promts and links to tutorials. I may still add links for freebies, but that would only be as a secondary purpose.
Since I am preaching journaling, I will upload some of my layouts I have done that are in the form of diary entries over a scrapbook layout, just to prove it can be done. This blog interface isn’t as conducive to photo uploading as Blogger is so to see the Layouts, you will find the link below under Scrap Therapy.
I have Categorised the Quotes below. Since I am working on the Great American Novel, there are some new categories for writers and readers.
