Constant unwanted thoughts
Nameless asks…
“I’m plagued by unwanted thoughts every day all the time… My brain constantly sees stories and things that never happened but they’re very vivid… like having a movie in the background with the volume way up… I’m constantly in fear of getting hurt and fear of pain. Now I’ll admit this could have to do with some events in my life but long story short I am constantly on a hair trigger to snap because I’m afraid of getting hurt… but this always ends up firing off at the wrong people… Help me.”
Weed your garden
Basic info — you’ve got a weedy garden. Actually it’s well overgrown, more like a jungle :-) The analogy of mind to garden is very accurate. Thoughts are like seeds and you unwittingly plant and nurture weeds, before long you’ve got a jungle. This is the basic problem, good to know… Read more
Fear of change
© wine me up
One of the BIG obstacles to successful change is FEAR.
It’s the fear of being forced into the unknown where there could be misery. Who knows what will happen if you take this path? It can be scary to even look…
We’d often much rather stick with the devil we know. We’d rather stick to our comfort zones where we know what to expect, where there won’t be any unpleasant surprises. We want to stay in control.
We have ideas about what healthy living means… punishing workouts, sweat, toil, denial… Read more
Are humans separate from nature?
© St Stev
Shock horror! Look at the top two definitions for “nature” at dictionary.com;
1. The material world esp. as surrounding humankind and existing independently of human activities.
2. The natural world as it exists without human beings or civilization.
Is it right to think of humans as separate from nature?
Don’t you think it’s interesting that we see nature as being separate? Even so, we put the words “nature” and “mother” together in common language. We know instinctively that our relationship to nature is like that of a child and mother.
A mother nurtures and cares for her child, but also exercises control, influence and authority. A child doesn’t understand the world fully so the mother protects it by means of rules. Nature did that for us. There were definite rules and controls. We had to obey the rules. There was no other way. So, nature is a mother in the sense that there are rules, and that the rules exist to maintain harmony and balance… Read more

I’m scared of zombies and I can’t sleep
Katherine asks…
“It’s almost 12:30am and I can’t fall asleep. It’s a school night and I usually can’t sleep on school night for some reason, and on weekends I can fall asleep. I’ve tried your advice, many other different websites on how to get rid of scary thoughts and how to fall asleep fast. None have really worked. I am scared of zombies, etc. and I know they are not real, but they still freak me out a lot. I usually just close my eyes at night hoping to fall asleep, but I keep thinking there is some kind of demon looking at me. Please help! I’ve slept in my parents bed, but it’s even harder to sleep in there (and they don’t want me to sleep in there, they think I’m annoying lol). HELP!”
No such thing as zombies
You have to know with absolute clarity that you’re in no danger. When you think about zombies and get scared, then you are really seeing them as a threat to you and you will go in a “fight or flight” state, which is to save your life when there’s real danger. You MUST see these thoughts as silly/funny and that will help a lot in getting rid of them.

Exercise if scared
Once you’re in a state of fear, in that fight or flight state, your body is making adrenaline so that you can literally fight or run away. This makes you hyper-alert and makes your thinking illogical and reactive. So if you’re very scared and in a state like this, exercise is the best way to calm down, it’s the natural way to calm down, it’s what your body expects to happen… Read more
