Sandi Atmore: The Fear of Pain
http://sandiatmore.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-fear-of-pain.html
Tuesday, September 9, 2014. The Fear of Pain. The tendency to avoid problems and the emotional suffering inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental illness. Since most of us have this tendency to a greater or lesser degree, most of us are mentally ill to a greater or lesser degree, lacking complete mental health." M. Scott Peck - The Road Less Traveled. One of the biggest fears that I often hear when people are considering Grief Recovery or Life Coaching is "will I make it through?

Friday, January 23, 2015. Is Procrastination Killing Your New Years Resolutions? It's interesting to be writing about the subject of procrastination when I haven't blogged in months. The truth is, I've been working on a book project and I have found that all my writing energies are going in to my book. However, even in writing the book I find that I want to put off the hard work until tomorrow or the next day. So if this is coming up for you, what will you do different on the inside this year?

Sandi Atmore: The Danger of Positive Thinking that Does Not Equal Joy
http://sandiatmore.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-danger-of-positive-thinking-that.html
Monday, October 27, 2014. The Danger of Positive Thinking that Does Not Equal Joy. I was trying to take Philippians 4:8 and make it in to our modern idea of "positive thinking". The idea of positive thinking is that if you just think in a positive nature then everything in your life will work out. The problem comes that if something happens and you have an emotional response that is not positive then what do you do with it? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Do you want to get well?

Sandi Atmore: Do you want to get well?
http://sandiatmore.blogspot.com/2014/10/do-you-want-to-get-well.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Do you want to get well? Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well? 8221; John 5:3-6. One of the best ways to tell if you are looking for a rescuer as opposed to healing is to look at what kind of help do you seek? I'm not talking about some...

Monday, September 22, 2014. Rachel was also on and off drugs during the two years that followed our meeting. I prayed for her so many times.

Sandi Atmore: August 2014
http://sandiatmore.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. What have you learned about love? What have you learned that you must do in order to be seen, heard, accepted or loved? Oftentimes, the answers to those questions will lead us right to the identity or identities that we have taken on in order to get a dire need that we had as a child. Yet, as an adult these identities are merely coping skills and are really no identity at all. They are false selves that we must shed in order to be who we were truly created to be.

Sandi Atmore: Circus Elephants
http://sandiatmore.blogspot.com/2014/09/circus-elephants.html
Tuesday, September 16, 2014. What's strange is that even after the little elephants grow into huge, powerful animals capable of lifting a ton or more with their trunks, they remain restricted by those same miniature stakes in the ground. Even when they are more than strong enough to yank the stake out of the ground and roam free, they don't do it. They don't even try. They remain limited by the old boundaries.". What limiting beliefs are keep you from realizing your potential? The Fear of Pain.

Thursday, September 12, 2013. The Most Powerful Word in the English Language - Part II. Forgiveness is most effective when done at the event level. Meaning that we articulate what happened, what we felt and then that we forgive. Again, I am not suggesting that this be done with the person who hurt you. Most likely, they are not safe enough to hear you. Are there things that you are having a hard time letting go of? Wednesday, September 11, 2013. The Most Powerful Word in the English Language.

Thursday, August 29, 2013. You Just Never Know. I was concerned for her safety. For her she said the hardest part is the looks that people give her when they drive by. Some shake their head at her and she feels humiliated. Some approach her and ask how she got there, yet, she feels overwhelmed and not certain where to start in her story. That bothers her more than feeling unsafe. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. Why am I so ANGRY? I'm traveling to visit my family soon. It didn't seem like a big deal at al...
