  Going around in circles or a defined objective/s?

  by Celtic in

  does this community just keep going around in circles, stuck in its rut or is there an objective to this site, if so, what is it and what are any future intended plans for objectivity?.

  peace.

  I believe both answers are correct.

  This is why, I do see the board going around in repetitive circles but with different people as the players each time.

  I also believe there is an objective or I should say objectives.
  We come here for support,friendship,understanding,knowledge,belonging,
  release.
  I'm sure there are more but all thes things are accompolished here and help so many but this is all done in a natural unorganized way.
  Some things should not be too structured or organized especially when there are so many reasons for being here.

  It's like a merry go round, it can be fun but sometimes you need to get off and go do something else and then when you come back going around in circles is fun again.

  Why do us men do all the bad stuff?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seams to me that through out history men have allways commited the worst crimes against humanity.. from despot rulers to serial killers and petty crime , men do the most.. yet to me it seams that on a personnal level men get on better with each other than women.. women are often very senseitive and take offence much more easily.. they can be very bitchy and manipulative.. often men will have an aurgument with a friend and the next day all will be forgotten , while a women can take years to forgive.. so what is it about mens psychology that makes them commit worse crimes than women?.

  or it there just the fact that they are physicaly stronger?.

  i wonder that if in the future , women are in positions of power more that they will act worse than men have, or if they will show more compassion for others?

  I believe it has much more to do with testostorone and chemicals in the brain than any thing else.

  Men are stronger and naturally more agressive than women because of their differences in physical makeup.Some men have too much.
  Women are usually more gentle and nurturing because of their physical makeup.
  We do see acceptions to this and it is very scary to see a woman act out so unnaturaly!

  I have learned through experience though that women can be very mean but usually in non violent ways.This is also due to hormones but in this case of the female kind.
  Women can have fluctions in their hormones that can have dramatic effects on their temprement.

  Also the chemicals and nuro transmitters in the brain of both sexes can become unbalanced causing violent and unbalanced behavior.

  I know some of you are more knowledgable than me on this so I'll leave it at this.

  How Do You Deal With Stress??

  by JerryTX in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  what do you do when you're being blindsided from seemingly every direction and you're drowning in stress?

  what do you personally do to counteract it?.

  reading joelbear's latest post ("joelbear needs to calm down")reminded me of what it was like when first exiting the watchtower.

  The suggestion to remove stressers if possible is good but is not always possible.

  What I have found is that I don't function well when I am overwhelmed and I doubt anyone else does either.

  Try not to dwell about it all at once because you can't do but one or two things at a time anyway.
  Make a list and handle the most important solvable problem first and work your way down from there.
  Anything you are stressed out or worried about ask your self "Is there any thing I can do about this situation?"
  If you cannot or if it's not your problem to solve anyway push it out of your mind and only deal with the things you have power and control over.
  Also try not think in circles because it drives you crazy and makes things worse.Look for a solution or let it go.

  There is also something to be said for unplugging or escape.
  This is good as long as it is not abused causing your problems to become worse.

  Relaxing music- I like Enya when I am stressed out.
  A walk
  A day off only for yourself so you can regroup and come back more productive.
  A good stiff drink
  read a book

  running your fingers over the perfectly sharp tips, none broken or peeled.

  all 96 colors like flesh (now peach), indian red (now chestnut), periwinkle, goldenrod, green blue (now retired),lemon yellow (now retired), and new colors you may not know about such as macaroni and cheese, purple mountain's majesty, granny smith apple, and pig pink.

  Closer,
  I loved your story especially when you said,

  " She's a genius, of course her creativity cannot be stifled by a box."

  Thanks for sharing the story and the masterpiece.

  I am another adult female who absolutly loves to color.I always will.
  I think it's therapudic.
  I identify with all the excitement.
