Download or read book THE DANCE OF OUR EMOTIONS IS A NONSENSE BUT A MAIN PART OF OUR LIVES written by Adrian Gabriel Dumitru and published by Adrian G Dumitru. This book was released on with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is difficult to understand the human being ... but even worst ... it is even more difficult to understand our own souls. ... our habits. ... our desires. ... our tendencies ... the ones we follow. Everything defines us ... from the past ... present and ... a possible future ... one that might appear in the way we want it to be. And when we start to analyze what is really going on with us ... but also understand that life is ... not just a collection of perceptions and emotions ... we start to keep wondering why the soul is always following so many contradictory directions. Why today we feel joy inside of the soul ... but tomorrow we feel so damm overwhelm by many negative energies ... from all around us ... that in the end makes us feel miserable … and the beautiful vibe is disappearing ... and never come back for long, long time. It’s funny cause the Universe does not want us to be unhappy, but to understand the illusion of life .... with everything that means ... problems, difficulties, hard situations etc ... but to realize that always ... at the end of the storm ... a beautiful sunny day is appearing. ... and we should learn to enjoy it ... but we remain focused on the storm ... not seeing the beauty of the new sunny day. I smile seeing in the timeline of my life ... a dear friend that is keep repeating me everyday, almost as a mantra ... “It’s a new day! Let’s enjoy it!” ... and i am wondering is he smokes marihuana ... or i am totally blind ... not seeing the same reality he is watching at. Today ... what i know for sure is that my friend is not smoking anything ... but i haven’t the guts to accept my blindness ... and start treating myself. I see no difference between me and my friend ... but looking at him ... i can’t understand yet if he is still suffering of disease that i suffer by such a long time ... the dance of my emotions. I realized about this illness i have ... and i also realized ... studying the statistic that defines my life ... that my reality is just a reflection of all those feelings i carry in my soul. The short story is ... amazing vibes .... amazing life ... negative vibes ... a reality painted just in grey colors ... and nothing more. It’s quite a simple concept! But i continue staring at this silly dance of such contradictory emotions ... going to the left, then to the right ... then to the left again. The music itself ... is so damm boring ... but instead of pushing the stop button ... and end this dance forever ... i believe is a natural fact for the human being. And i accept it ... even if i should take the decision of creating the habit of connecting just to beautiful vibes ... the ones that makes me feel the joy of being alive. I suddenly realize that what i explained to my friend that it’s a beautiful dance of emotions ... is actually a collection of contradictory feelings that are ruining my life. The message of my friend was quite simple ... “It’s a new day ... let’s enjoy it!”. But maybe it was so damm simple that i did not considered it as being ... a good advise. This dance was controlling my life ... and even if i had the solution ... i was not taking any decision. I preferred to continue my life ... as a journey to lots of pathless paths ... not realizing that it is time to stop ... and ask the inner self ... “ What should i really do?! What is the path destined to me?! Which is the real direction i should follow” .... and maybe pray ... as this silly dance of annoying contradictory feelings to stop. And one day ... i started to finally think at the fact that i am not my emotions or my perceptions. My mind was playing around with me .... cause i never thought i should master my mind ... and not let the mind control myself. And the mind ... keeps generating all types of scenarios ... or perceptions ... then different types of emotions are appearing ... and many times contradictory ones ... amplified in a silly way ... and actually controlling my life. The truth is ... and i accepted that ... i had not become a master of my mind ... at least not yet ... but i started to desire as the dance ... to stop. And not just to stop now ... but stop forever. I don’t want to live like this anymore. I want a life connected ... only at the beauty of what life has to offer. So ... at least ... i have a dream. The one ... of getting rid of the non sense that was defining my life for years. Deep inside myself i realized it is a difficult change ... but once i’ve taken the decision ... and also keep it in mind as a powerful desire ... i am on the right path. I pay attention to everything ... to all the details that are influencing my perceptions and emotions ... analyzing ... defining ... as in the end to always redefine the script of my life ... and keep me connected to amazing vibes.

I became a writer, by writing simple quotes on my phone. Writing on and on and on. I was meditating a lot ... what life is about ... and in fact ... what my life actually means. After almost 3 years i started to look to all those thoughts ... which were simple ideas ... but were mine. There were defining me. And i became deeper and deeper. I was exploring all my thoughts and feelings. Today ... reading again all those things i wrote ... i just smile. I see the journal of my thinking. Thoughts. ... and feelings. ... thousands of them. Many ... in total contradiction. 1000 versions of myself. And it’s quite difficult to understand many of those versions i was. But all of them ... is me. I read one more time ... and i have moments when i start even to laugh. So many thoughts and feelings. Such a large spectrum that defines me in so, so many ways ... but still ... it’s just me. I am only one. The one i decide to be each day. At the end ... i realize it all was an interesting exercise .... expressing all i thought or felt. This journal ... is my view over life. Many of the things i wrote ... i find totally ridiculous .... but i just smile ... and don’t judge any version of myself. I would even dare to ask you ... to copy this exercise ... cause might help you a lot. It will help you understand better who you are ... and maybe decide who you want to be tomorrow ... according to the dynamic of your thoughts and feelings. 3 years means ... a little bit more of 1000 days ... and indeed 1000 versions of myself

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human being has always been dominated … by contradictory thoughts and emotions. Maybe one of the worst diseases from the history of the world … worst even as cancer … sometimes without any possible treatment is the … doubt. And is funny, cause the Universe is playing around with us … giving us so, so many contradictory … options. I am laughing … going back in time and seeing myself in this weird situation of not being able to decide what to do … what to choose. Today i somehow believe that it’s better to have … no option …. or just one option, cause each time when i had 2 or more options … everything was too complicated. I had to think too much. … to meditate on and on and on. And when i decided i was still overwhelmed by …. doubt. Instead of being happy for the life i had, i was unhappy …. In fact somehow ruined emotionally and mentally of all what was going on with me. Everything was sometimes so amplified that i could not … continue the life itself. The Universe letted me decide what to do … but i was not capable of seeing the path … the real one. I was hearing into my head all the time … “What to do?! What to decide?! What should be the best?!” But i did not know what to do … what to decide … and instead of being happy for having so many opportunities … my vibe was always fucked up. And everything was like that cause i did not know how to close my eyes and connect to myself … asking to my intuition for guidance. The undecided version of myself, was a result of the fact that i did not know anything about my soul … and how to be in total harmony with this inner self. I did not know how to listen to all those voices … to my intuition … and keep the right balance between the inner and the outer world. And instead of being happy and a soul dominated by joy … i was in this silly emotional balance … dominated by a non ending indecision. I should name it today … the negative amplifier … and all what i want is just get rid of it. Nothing more.

This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not your typical self-help book that tells you how great you are, pats you on the back, and sends you on your way to buy the next book. It is for individuals who desire courageous content, not just audacious titles. Learning to D.A.N.C.E. With Your Demons will challenge you to take a closer and more truthful look at yourself. It will cause you to think critically, confront certain aspects of who you are, and see yourself through a lens of honesty. We cannot become the best version of ourselves until we understand and excavate the darker parts of our human nature. It may touch a nerve, may piss you off, and even cause a defensive, "That's not me,"response. That's okay because it means you're really reading the book. Learning to D.A.N.C.E. With Your Demons offers you an alternative self-transformational guide that asks you to become a better person, and in doing so, become a better member of society. "It is written in such an accessible manner. She definitely has a gift for writing and storytelling. It reminds me of reading Elisabeth Kubler Ross's book in college, and the impact it can have, but with a much more positive approach. It has to be the most interesting approach to factor analysis I have ever seen!!" - Janet Martin, Ph.D. Professor of Government & Legal Studies - Bowdoin College "...the book is grounded in the cognitive behavioral school of counseling which emphasizes the present rather than focusing on peoples' previous experiences,e.g. childhood... The author, in addition to being an academic possessing an Ed.D., is a gifted wordsmith. " -Michael Klausner, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Sociology & Organizational Behavior University of Pittsburgh - Bradford "... it is refreshing to encounter a narrative that is loaded with helpful insights about how to achieve authentic self-discovery and wholesome healing.This book offers helpful tips for deep awakening and realization. D.A.N.C.E.describes this process with eloquence, grace, and candor. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the quest for inner peace, joy, and transformation." - Akintunde E. Akinade, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, Georgetown University in Qatar "We live in a world with scarcity - perceived or real - feeding resentment, explaining caste systems, fostering social divides. This book takes a closer look into the same world and asks us to consider abundance and compassion by finding these qualities within ourselves. LeeAnn Womack sings, "...when you get the choice to sit it out or dance," I join with Ms. Womack and hope you D.A.N.C.E.!" - Judith K. Gwathmey, V.M.D., Ph.D. Professor of Medicine and Physiology - Boston University School of Medicine.

Download or read book Little Panic written by Amanda Stern and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vein of bestselling memoirs about mental illness like Andrew Solomon's Noonday Demon, Sarah Hepola's Blackout, and Daniel Smith's Monkey Mind comes a gorgeously immersive, immediately relatable, and brilliantly funny memoir about living life on the razor's edge of panic. The world never made any sense to Amanda Stern--how could she trust time to keep flowing, the sun to rise, gravity to hold her feet to the ground, or even her own body to work the way it was supposed to? Deep down, she knows that there's something horribly wrong with her, some defect that her siblings and friends don't have to cope with. Growing up in the 1970s and 80s in New York, Amanda experiences the magic and madness of life through the filter of unrelenting panic. Plagued with fear that her friends and family will be taken from her if she's not watching-that her mother will die, or forget she has children and just move away-Amanda treats every parting as her last. Shuttled between a barefoot bohemian life with her mother in Greenwich Village, and a sanitized, stricter world of affluence uptown with her father, Amanda has little she can depend on. And when Etan Patz disappears down the block from their MacDougal Street home, she can't help but believe that all her worst fears are about to come true. Tenderly delivered and expertly structured, Amanda Stern's memoir is a document of the transformation of New York City and a deep, personal, and comedic account of the trials and errors of seeing life through a very unusual lens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you are diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, you could use a coach and all the advantages that you can find. Bipolar is a serious illness that requires an integrated approach to solving the enigma. This is an informal guide that pulls no punches and talks about everything from sexual promiscuity to manic spending to delusions of grandeur. Over twenty years, I have learned to lessen its power over my existence. It can become less of an illness and, over time, more of an opportunity. We need to look at bipolar in new ways to get different results. Having a reassuring friend who’s been there makes the difference. I teach many basic, easy to learn approaches. A recent test reader, who was in the mire of illness, described the book as a bridge out: she returns to The Bipolar Guide to review the principles that helped her to live. I strive in this book to take alternative approaches to work through the negative illness traits to plug into the gift side. I have been through the highs and the lows of manic-depression and have embraced the advantages, and continue to live an enhanced life. I promote responsibility in this book—there are no excuses, just potential. You can harness bipolar to serve you: it is a tough break-in of the wild horse, but it is possible. We need to look at bipolar in new ways. People need friendly assurance and prodding to surmount the challenges of bipolar. This is a bold responsible approach to living successfully with Bipolar Disorder. Two decades of tough manic-depression lessons are passed to you. This informal guide will be your friend and coach to assist you in finding your own way: we need to learn new approaches to attain different results in our lives.

Book excerpt: Have you even asked yourself why so many people in this world are living an unhappy life?! But what about you?! Are you a happy person ... or not?! And if not ... have you ever thought why?! Is just a simple question, same as you would ask yourself why you don’t know skying ... if you never took lessons for that?! You see ... truth be told ... in school we’ve learnt lots of things, including complicated math formulas, languages that we will never use in life, chemistry issues that will not serve us with nothing etc etc ... but no one ever bothered to teach us at least a short list with things to do .. for having a beautiful .. and why not ... an amazing life. I mean .. we can easily understand that we can’t paint if we haven’t learnt the art of painting, we can’t sing piano without a little bit of help came by a piano teacher etc etc ... but when it comes to life ... to our private lives in fact ... we simple can’t find the path for a non ending great story. There is always something that is ruining our vibes. We find ... lots of silly problems ... and we actually allow them to disturb us from staying on the right spiritual frequency ... and in fact ... enjoy life. But ... let me tell you the truth ... i did the same for years ... many, many years in a row. My life was kind of an emotional dance ... between good and bad vibes ... but i could not find a way of stopping it. I even named it ... in a silly way ... the dance of emotions. Until one day when i realized that this nonsense journey back and forth ... from good to bad energies ... was ruining my inner soul. I knew i had to stop it, but i felt i had no control over the process. It all looked like i was in a prison with invisible walls ... and i had no escape at all. I started to meditate. More and more. Understood that i need to look deeper ... why i have this silly balance of duality ... if i want a beautiful life. This is when i started to look deeper and deeper ... analyzing and defining my life from on million perspectives. In the end .. by talking to myself a lot, but also writing my thoughts ... i somehow became my own therapist. I invite you in a journey of discovering the way of thinking deeper ... what life is really about ... and how we can remove the negative elements from our timeline ... but also replace them with beautiful things that might bring us an existance fulfilled with eternal great vibes.

Download or read book Romantic Outlaws written by Charlotte Gordon and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE SEATTLE TIMES This groundbreaking dual biography brings to life a pioneering English feminist and the daughter she never knew. Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley have each been the subject of numerous biographies, yet no one has ever examined their lives in one book—until now. In Romantic Outlaws, Charlotte Gordon reunites the trailblazing author who wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and the Romantic visionary who gave the world Frankenstein—two courageous women who should have shared their lives, but instead shared a powerful literary and feminist legacy. In 1797, less than two weeks after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft died, and a remarkable life spent pushing against the boundaries of society’s expectations for women came to an end. But another was just beginning. Wollstonecraft’s daughter Mary was to follow a similarly audacious path. Both women had passionate relationships with several men, bore children out of wedlock, and chose to live in exile outside their native country. Each in her own time fought against the injustices women faced and wrote books that changed literary history. The private lives of both Marys were nothing less than the stuff of great Romantic drama, providing fabulous material for Charlotte Gordon, an accomplished historian and a gifted storyteller. Taking readers on a vivid journey across revolutionary France and Victorian England, she seamlessly interweaves the lives of her two protagonists in alternating chapters, creating a book that reads like a richly textured historical novel. Gordon also paints unforgettable portraits of the men in their lives, including the mercurial genius Percy Shelley, the unbridled libertine Lord Byron, and the brilliant radical William Godwin. “Brave, passionate, and visionary, they broke almost every rule there was to break,” Gordon writes of Wollstonecraft and Shelley. A truly revelatory biography, Romantic Outlaws reveals the defiant, creative lives of this daring mother-daughter pair who refused to be confined by the rigid conventions of their era. Praise for Romantic Outlaws “[An] impassioned dual biography . . . Gordon, alternating between the two chapter by chapter, binds their lives into a fascinating whole. She shows, in vivid detail, how mother influenced daughter, and how the daughter’s struggles mirrored the mother’s.”—The Boston Globe
