Give Yourself a Mental Makeover
by palmtree67 ini was just reading an article about how what we think and believe affects our self-esteem and well-being.
the first step is understanding the types of thinking that can hold you back.. twisted thoughts.
1. overgeneralization: we take a one-time occurence and make it the rule of thumb.. 2. blame game: we blame ourselves when we could not possibly bear responsibility.. 3. black & white thinking: we interpret everything as an absolute, with no shades of gray.. backward beliefs.

I'm Still Torn About the Blood Issue
by palmtree67 inwhen i left the org.
the blood issue wasn't an issue for me.
my best friend was on the blood committee for years and i could see many cases where either blood wouldn't have saved the person anyways (like when a person is in a serious car accident and their liver is in pieces), or blood actually killed the person and/or hindered recovery.. then my little nephew got leukemia.

Sleepwalking/Sleeptalking
by palmtree67 inapparently, i am quite the sleepwalker/talker.. i actually walk around the house, and have entire conversations in my sleep.. should i be held accountable for what i do/say?.
i don't know if this means anything, but my dreams are also very vivid.
if i am woken up from the middle of a dream it takes me a long time to get back to reality.
