Emotional health is the new sexy

Interesting post from the Elephant Journal on the emerging topic of emotional health.

There is nothing more attractive than a person prepared to own his or her shit. We are all messed up in some way or another; it’s just a matter of how, and to what degree. To accept that fact is to be a real adult in this world—to take responsibility for our own happiness and to stop blaming others when life is hard, or when they don’t meet our expectations.

If a man is willing to face his issues, my god is he a man in my eyes. If he is able to work on himself with the intention of becoming the best version of himself that he can be, for himself, and subsequently for his relationships, that is a serious turn-on. I know that he is going to show up for me, for his family, and he is going to address the issues that he doesn’t want to pass onto his kids

On Learning to Let Go of Controlling Everything

tumblr_ng7pdsyYNh1qaobyto1_1280

The Purpose Fairy has a lovely post this weekend:

More than 2500 years ago, this wise Chinese man called Lao Tzu was trying to teach us a very powerful and valuable lesson: “By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.”

Even though so many people feel the constant need to control everything and everyone. And even though they desperately try to adjust life according to their views and expectations instead of allowing life to unfold naturally, the truth of the matter is that life is a lot wiser than we think. Life knows a lot more than we do…

Believe it or not, there is a natural flow that life has to follow, and by learning to let go of controlling everything and everyone, you give ourselves permission to go with the flow, no longer against it. Allowing life to nurture you, to lead you, to guide you, and to always make sure that you are walking on your right life path. And in this short yet very profound and inspiring video, Alan Watts talks about this so beautifully. Explaining to us that it is in letting go of control that we actually get back in control. Back to living the life we are meant to live and back to being in alignment with who we truly are.

Importance of Human Touch

Few things are more important to mental health and well-being.

Extensive research by the University of Miami’s Touch Research Institute has revealed that human touch has wide-ranging physical and emotional benefits for people of all age groups. In the Institute’s experiments, touch lessened pain, improved pulmonary function, increased growth in infants, lowered blood glucose and improved immune function. Human touch is important for all ages, but by the time children reach their teen years, they receive only half as much touching as they did in the early part of their lives. Adults touch each other even less.

The Art of Awakening

buddha1

Jack Kornfield writes:

A story is told of the Buddha when he was wandering in India shortly after his enlightenment. He was encountered by several men who recognized something quite extraordinary about this handsome prince now robed as a monk. Stopping to inquire, they asked, “Are you a god?” “No,” he answered. “Well, are you a divine being or an angel?” “No,” he replied. “Well, are you some kind of wizard or magician?” “No.” “Are you a man?” “No.” They were perplexed. Finally, they asked, “Then, what are you?” He replied simply, “I am awake.” The word buddha means “one who is awake.” How to awaken is all he taught.

Science Has Great News for People Who Read Actual Books

Like to read? You should. Here’s another reason why…

It’s no secret that reading is good for you. Just six minutes of reading is enough to reduce stress by 68%, and numerous studies have shown that reading keeps your brain functioning effectively as you age. One study even found that elderly individuals who read regularly are 2.5 times less likely to develop Alzheimer’s than their peers. But not all forms of reading are created equal.

The debate between paper books and e-readers has been vicious since the first Kindle came out in 2007. Most arguments have been about the sentimental versus the practical, between people who prefer how paper pages feel in their hands and people who argue for the practicality of e-readers. But now science has weighed in, and the studies are on the side of paper books.

Reading in print helps with comprehension.

A 2014 study found that readers of a short mystery story on a Kindle were significantly worse at remembering the order of events than those who read the same story in paperback. Lead researcher Anne Mangen of Norway’s Stavanger University concluded that “the haptic and tactile feedback of a Kindle does not provide the same support for mental reconstruction of a story as a print pocket book does.”

Interestingly enough, the same benefits were NOT attributed to binge watching on Netflix!

The Drama Triangle

Ever heard of the Karpman Drama Triangle? Best explanation I have seen in a long time…

UnPickled's avatarUnPickled

Recovery from addiction requires more than simply giving up “X”. The most significant changes come from learning why we ever needed “X” in the first place and then rethinking how we operate. This almost always involves addressing interpersonal relationships. For me, one tool that has been extremely useful in changing my approach is the Karpman Drama Triangle.

Dr. Stephen Karpman developed this simple concept in 1968 to illustrate that three types of roles emerge from every conflict: Victim, Persecutor, and Rescuer.

Karpman Drama Triangle

When a situation upsets me, I look at the it with above image in mind and take responsibility for my role.

Do you have a favourite position on the triangle? Saying, “Hey, this isn’t my fault. Don’t blame me” means identifying as a victim. The persecutor role is not necessarily evil; it often the person who says, “I’m just doing what I think is right. Sorry but you will…
