202. Do you know WHAT MAKES ME MAD?? It makes me SO MAD I just want to... By David Thomas
     Sound familiar? If you want to manage anger, the only way of doing so is to listen to your self-talk. This doesn’t mean listening to yourself talk. It means listening to your SELF-TALK.It’s quite true that anger is created from within. No matter how much you say—“She made me mad!” “It makes me so mad when…”—the anger comes from YOU, not it or she.Our thoughts about “it” or “she” is actually where the anger comes from. And by changing our thinking we can change the way we feel (for example,…



203. What The Buddha Says About Coaches By Andrea Lee

     Suppose that the human mind is nothing more than a bio-computer and that the function of this computer is to get its owner exactly what he says he wants.. The computer mind takes what you say very literally. So, if you say you cannot do something, the mind interprets that as a command and makes sure you cannot do it. If you say you are confused and don't know what you want, the mind makes sure you have that experience.That is why the harder we try to change, the very things we want to change p…
