Comparison
I’d like to continue a little on the burnout theme…and meld it with another one of my pet subjects, comparisons. One of the most exhausting things I see is how we compare ourselves to others. We look to see what others are wearing, buying, saying, reading, and where they are going…in work or in travel.…

Burnout!
This word is used a lot…our society seems to admire people that burn themselves out with work and responsibility. Well, these last few months I think that I burned myself out.

The Blame Game
The other day I was feeling overwhelmed and tired. There was a heaviness on my shoulders that I was blaming someone else for. How could they not see what they have done? And how miserable it made me? Why aren’t they saying the right thing to make me feel better? Well, hindsight always has its…

Games
Mind games…many of us are good at them. They are what we play to get our own way and what we want. We use them to manipulate and control…often without realizing it, and without the others realizing it either. Using guilt or flattery…they both work…one just a little more positive in the application, but both…
