I find it really heart warming that someone takes the time to not only read my blog, but to give me some feedback - and really interesting feedback at that. You are so correct about the way we direct our energy. I am trying so very hard to re-direct mine!

This is a good book and another is "Who...Yes! This is a good book and another is "Who moved my Cheese"<br /><br />I did a philosophy course for about 3 yrs and we studied many aspects of human nature, the one thing that was central to the course was that everyone has a limited amount of emotional energy and in general we apply this energy to things that were beyond our control such as being stuck in traffic, a computer not working and so on, so by the time we reach the end of the day we are emotionally drained for our loved ones. So we strived to apply very little emotion or no emotion to things which are beyond our control (including my ex partners behaviour) and looked to really caring about the things that matter.<br />As a practical example of this our tutor told us once there is no such thing as a boring job!! Of course this set the class off listing jobs that were really boring, but he kept countering with people who loved doing those jobs. So the job themselves were not boring, we applied emotion to them by winging, complaining and so forth, the emotion we attached to them making them boring to us, so if we changed our attitude we could save that emotion for the good stuff and be much calmer in life. I try to practise everyday, with varying successful.<br /><br />Still love visiting your site for a glimpse of the other half of humanity now and then. Keep up the postings and your beautiful writing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14270570482309076421noreply@blogger.com
