One of the most important tasks of early recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction is learning to replace the chemical with health living skills.

Do You Take Things Too Literally

Spiritual seekers and budding entrepreneurs alike are faced with a terrible dilemma, knowing the true meaning of what is really being said. Be it a conversation or reading an inspirational or apparently humorous story, knowing the real meaning determines the value gained and the outcome. If you try to find a hidden meaning to everything, then you will get lost in your imagination and create ideas that have little relation to the reality of the situation. This will keep you living in illusions and banging your head on the wall far too often trying to find out where you went wrong.

Meth Myths - Can Meth Addicts Really Recover?

Methamphetamine is much different from regular amphetamine pills. Without going into a chemistry lesson, meth is simply a more refined or condensed form of amphetamine. It is much more powerful than what some people might think of as diet pills or speed. It produces both an intense feeling of energy and strong euphoric pleasure at the same time. Some of the intensity depends on how quickly it gets into the system. This drug in pill form, taken orally, is slow to produce this effect. Injecting it or smoking it is a completely different experience.

***Self-Validation - How to Validate Yourself

From the time we are born, we need validation. Loving parents offer consistent validation to their children, validating their feelings, their perceptions, their gifts and talents, their particular form of intelligence, their interests, their kindness, caring, and intuition. You are very fortunate if you received this kind of validation from your parents. If your parents also validated their own feelings, perceptions, and so on, then you are extremely fortunate, as you likely learned to do this for yourself from their role modeling.

It is not possible to live in fear and at the same time realize God. As a matter of fact, every time you give into fear, in that very moment you are losing awareness of God’s presence in your mind.

***Get Your Voice Out of Your Nose -- It Doesn't Belong There!

Nothing is more frustrating for me than listening to those who talk through their nose. And, you don’t have to be from New York to speak with excessive nasality. There are various pockets both in the United States and Canada where nasal talk is the norm. If you are plagued by too much nose, consider changing that habit because it is irritating for your listeners. Learning to speak with less nasal ‘qualities’ is easier than you may think. It requires retraining your inner ear to recognize the excess and enunciating your words lower in your mouth.
