Bret Dunlap

“His brain and body shattered in a horrible accident as a young boy, Bret Dunlap thought just being able to hold down a job, keep an apartment, and survive on his own added up to a good enough life. Then he discovered running.

You know what people think. They see jeans too short and winter coat too shiny, too grimy, and think, homeless. They watch a credit card emerge from those jeans and think, grifter. They behold a frozen grin, hear a string of strangled, tortured pauses, and think, slow. Stupid.

You learned too young about cruelty and pity. You learned too young that explaining yourself didn’t help, that it made things worse. People laughed. Made remarks. Backed away. So you stopped explaining. You got a job, got a cat, got an apartment, and people can think what they want to think. You built a life without…

Self-compassion vs. Self-esteem

There is a difference; the first is healthy the second is not…

inspiredaybyday's avatarInspired Blog

A few weeks ago, a friend recommended a book about Self-compassion, so I started to look into this subject and realized that most people, including myself, do not practice Self-compassion very well. However, we live in a culture where Self-esteem is an obsession, so I wanted to look into the differences between these two.

self-compassion

I have always tried to be a better person, a better student, a better daughter, a better wife, a better mother, a better professional, etc. the list goes on and on. I always try to be better, and although there is nothing wrong with trying to be better, I feel like it is a constant source of self-inflicted pressure in my life.

I believe that many people go through the same pattern of trying to always be better in order to feel accepted and loved, yet, somewhere along the way they forget to love themselves

‘The Only Thing I Can Do Is Say I’m Sorry’

Exodus International, widely considered one of the world’s largest “ex-gay” organizations, announced Wednesday night it plans to shut down. For nearly four decades, the organization claimed to offer a “cure” for homosexuality, but recently its leader, Alan Chambers, has been offering a very different message: an apology.

Following his first 2011 interview with Lisa Ling, Chambers once again reached out to Ling for the opportunity to formally apologize to those hurt by Exodus International. In this video from tonight’s “Our America with Lisa Ling — Special Report: God & Gays,” Chambers acknowledges that Exodus has hurt a lot of people with its “reparative therapy” techniques.

“How do you make up for that?” Ling asks Chambers.

“I don’t,” Chambers responds. “There are things that you can’t undo. There are wounds that won’t be healed in this life. And that’s a hard thing. The only thing I can do is say I’m sorry.”

Saying “I’m sorry” is exactly what Chambers plans to do. In Ling’s special report, Chambers meets with a group of “reparative therapy” survivors who confront him with stories of their painful experiences in the “ex-gay” movement. Then, Chambers speaks out with his own message.

We’ve heard of woman soldiers being subjected to sexual harassment, and worse.  Here’s the response to a scandal in his army by the Head of Army for Australia, Chief Lieutenant General David Morrison.  I can’t remember when I was so moved by a 3-minute clip.   No more words.  WATCH.

Big Bad Wolf?

Heh, heh, heh… I see this kind of thing daily with our golden retriever, Jack. Our ram is the alpha male in the pack. Heck, even the Tom Turkey chases him away. I’ll have to show him the video so he knows he’s in good company…

A road in the woods.  Three sheep.  Big Bad Wolf approaches.  Plot for bad outcome.   Or made for TV Grimm’s Fairy Tale.  Watch this short clip.  I actually felt bad for this wolf.  Believe this wolf made need some therapy.

Is Modern Life Making Us Depressed?

Our generation is blessed with the type of opportunities our parents would have only dreamed about.

Technology, for one, is taking us to places and connecting us in ways we wouldn’t have even been able to imagine just a few years ago.

But as a result of these rapid changes, our society is faced with new challenges.

In this 4-minute BigThink video, Dr. Andrew Weil, professor and founder of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, explains how depression rates are much higher in today’s society than what they were even during The Greater Depression and World War II.

Research is pointing to our disconnection with nature and our highly-processed diets as being part of the reason. What other factors do you think are negatively influencing our well-being?

What is happiness? If I may, I will tell you what it is not. Happiness is not external. It is not an object that we must perpetually chase after. The world has often taught us that happiness is in the material.
