HOW ARE OUR THINK TANKS LIKE MUSCLES ... TENSING OR FLEXING?

“Like a nice, flexible muscle, the more we can be flexible in how we think about — and act in — situations, the less likely they [anxious reactions] are to have an enduring negative impact on our lives. In other words, there are almost always multiple ways to interpret situations with many interpretations generating less negative emotions. Similarly, there are multiple options in how we choose to act in those situations with many behavioral choices bringing about better/most satisfying/less problematic outcomes.”
—Simon Rego, PsyD, chief psychologist at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine

If you see yourself as positively focused but spend too much time feeling anxious (as though waiting for the other shoe to drop), then it’s likely that your subconscious harbors an unidentified fear, which conflicts with your reconsideration of choices, disregarded as dangerous to your personal sense of safety.  As gaining insight into naming this fear serves to lighten the emotional weight that your heart has been lugging around unnecessarily for years, guess what brightens and lifts as naturally as if a magic wand had been waved over your head?  Your spirit!  And mine!  Hooray!  Hooray for what?  Hooray for mind flexibility, which creates change for the better as your intuitive powers—feeling freed to speak as clearly to you as proves true for me—begin to flex for real!

It's no wonder that my spirit delights in the presence of young minds, which naturally engage with the process of learning by building upon whatever their think tanks absorbed the year before ...

Boys will bounce happily along as long as a ball's in the air 

First soccer game ever—first goal scored—Hooray!

Ravi advances from: Gramma, peez take 'picter' of me to
Gramma, I take 'picter' of you!


Can a pair of two year olds, learn to share a toy sweetly?
What do you think makes that rarity possible?





Shoot!  Video won't appear—yet another puzzlement in need of resolution!
I was hoping to demonstrate the fact that generosity of spirit is an attitude in need
Positively focused, calm, conscientious, patient, spot-on role modeling
