Even a decade later, I still can’t think of a single Therapy Thursday session that ended without me feeling as though I was wiser for the experience.
Today’s post is comprised of a few random “nuggets” of information.
CARING is the glue of social fabric.
Caring for others helps us to develop empathy and strengthens our ability to connect with people, even in times of difficulty.
Carin for others allows us to learn (about ourselves, others and the word around us), and in that learning, we grow.
When we care for other people, the experience is both internal and external. Caring for others encourages more self-awareness, and we learn that what we love (or don’t love) about someone else will open our eyes to what we love (or don’t love) about ourselves.
Opening ourselves in this way prevents us from living and thinking in a narrow, restricted capacity Instead, we are encouraged to live in a world of open possibilities.
Your Feelings Matter
Be honest about how you feel, but do not allow your feelings to ‘be the director of the play’.
It is important to acknowledge our feelings- don’t dismiss them. Otherwise, they may respond like a tantruming toddler…
Consider where the feelings are coming from, and why – (The real ‘why’).
Take time to examine whether those feelings and thoughts are based on truth, or whether they are based on our perception of truth.
Brain waves operate on multiple levels
- Alpha – relaxed, resting, daydreaming
- Beta – active thinking, problem-solving
- Delta – Sleep
- Gamma – peak performance
- Theta – deeply relaxed, creative state, drowsiness
It normally takes approximately 90 minutes for the brain waves to change on their own
Common Sense is the least common of all Senses
Don’t confuse common sense and intelligence!
Intelligence is knowledge about something.
Common sense is using that knowledge appropriately.

K needs to come out of retirement and doing TED talks or something. This is very thought-provoking.
