Anxiety and Your Job!
Those with a lower tolerance for stimulation (up to 50% of us) would be wise to choose a job that reflects this predisposition. Within this aforementioned 50% there’s another 20% who find themselves “highly sensitive” and do not thrive at all even under moderate stimulation. This is an important personal quality many have that should not be ignored. To find meaning and enjoyment in our lives, it’s important to understand and listen to ourselves… to “know they self” is an important concept worthy of our time.

Dysthymia!
Dysthymia (dis-THIE-me-uh) is a chronic type of mild depression and it’s frequently undiagnosed. Symptoms usually last for at least two years in which a person’s moods are regularly or habitually low; being cynical, critical, apathetic and unable to enjoy life in general. Although symptoms are not as severe as with major depression, this condition interferes with one’s ability to function smoothly and enjoy life; many cope with this condition by using drugs and/or alcohol.
We can work on this here.
Dysthymia symptoms in adults may include:
- Loss of interest in daily activities
- Sadness or feeling down
- Hopelessness
- Tiredness and lack of energy
- Low self-esteem, self-criticism or feeling incapable
- Trouble concentrating and trouble making decisions
- Irritability or excessive anger
- Decreased activity, effectiveness and productivity
- Avoidance of social activities
- Feelings of guilt and worries over the past
- Poor appetite or overeating
- Sleep problems

Choice Theory: A New Psychology of Personal Freedom
Amazon.com Review:
Southern California psychiatrist William Glasser, the author of Reality Therapy, believes that almost all human misery is caused by people trying to control others. In fact, he says, the only behavior we can control is our own; by the same token, no one can make us do anything we don’t want to. It’s only when we give up spending our energy trying to force others to conform to our ideas or to keep them from doing the same to us that we are able to live the way we want to.
Dr. William Glasser offers a new psychology that, if practiced, could reverse our widespread inability to get along with one another, an inability that is the source of almost all unhappiness.

Do I Eat Animal Proteins?
Yes, but sparingly and in small amounts! It’s not a primary part of any single meal. I frequently go days without any animal protein at all. I certainly don’t supplement with it.

Put the Alcohol Down!
Alcohol provides very little nutritional benefit, it’s a tremendous source of calories and weight gain, it’s known as a deconditioner (especially for those already out of shape) and it’s an irritant to the nervous system for many people (leading to anxiety, palpitations and even depression). Want to get healthy and stay healthy? Minimize or even avoid alcohol in all it’s many forms.

Apply Yourself Daily!
Whether it’s weight-loss, increased performance or wisdom, we have to apply ourselves to the objective everyday if we wish to improve. By applying ourselves to the daily tasks, associated with a chosen goal, we make the small improvements necessary to become better at it tomorrow.

Work to Improve!
It’s far more rewarding, and a better use of our time, for us to work on our personal shortcomings, rather than spend time pointing out the shortcomings of others.
