From the mind of Tim: Judgementalism
http://fromthemindoftim.blogspot.com/2010/11/judgementalism.html
From the mind of Tim. Monday, November 22, 2010. I've been too judgmental. I want to not be that way. Nothing makes me any more worthy than anyone else. The lines are blurred between enabling, judging negatively and positive regard. I've always believed in the Golden Rule and yet I violate it in my mind. Sometimes I forget the cause and effect of behavior. I'm glad I am thinking about this, now THAT makes me feel better. Rebecca, thanks for the quote. November 30, 2010 at 10:52 PM. I know you are dying t...

From the mind of Tim: Why Do We Keep Falling in the Hole?
http://fromthemindoftim.blogspot.com/2011/04/why-do-we-keep-falling-in-hole.html
From the mind of Tim. Sunday, April 3, 2011. Why Do We Keep Falling in the Hole? I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in this same place. But it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I meant the ...

From the mind of Tim: Analysis or Part 2 of The Hole in the Sidewalk
http://fromthemindoftim.blogspot.com/2011/04/analysis-or-part-2-of-hole-in-sidewalk.html
From the mind of Tim. Sunday, April 3, 2011. Analysis or Part 2 of The Hole in the Sidewalk. In my last blog post I presented the poem, "There's a Hole in My Sidewalk," by Portia Nelson. In this post I will write an analysis of the poem. I have a rather well written analysis with no author cited. Therefore, it will be credited to "Person" I will add my own comments within the context of this post as well and will preface those comments with "Tim". I walk down the street. It isn’t my fault. I fall in again.

From the mind of Tim: March 2011
http://fromthemindoftim.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
From the mind of Tim. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Why Don't People Change? I want happiness. I want everyone to have happiness. I know everyone can have happiness. I have seen people in the worst situations feel and express happiness. But what is it? Is it a feeling, a state of being, a personality type or some altered state? That’s why. It’s much more comfortable. It’s easier. New is always more difficult because it leaves you uneasy from being different. Therefore, if you are not very happy, you are going...

From the mind of Tim. Sunday, November 21, 2010. Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy and Mr REBT. If you are interested in REBT, let's discuss it. It works.

From the mind of Tim: The Big Picture
http://fromthemindoftim.blogspot.com/2011/05/big-picture.html
From the mind of Tim. Sunday, May 8, 2011. Are you part of the big picture? Unequivocally, yes you are! Whether you know it or not, you are. What is the big picture? I have a friend who is into numbers, accounting, banking and such. I said, “What does “the big picture” mean to you? She said she didn’t know. After some discussion, I said, you know micro and macro? She said, “Ohhhh, macro is the big picture! 8221; quite proud of herself for figuring that out. You are just one piece of the puzzle. Thinking ...

From the mind of Tim: December 2010
http://fromthemindoftim.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
From the mind of Tim. Saturday, December 4, 2010. Why can't we talk? It bothers me that we Americans don’t feel comfortable discussing things that we disagree about. Politics, religion, homosexuality, abortion, the list goes on and on. How can we expect our government to work in a bipartisan manner when our society as a whole avoids discussing the “issues”? My beef about it all? No…. Things will not improve until we can be open to discussion of all issues without hate and retaliation. Chapter 1 I walk do...

From the mind of Tim: Analysis - Part 3 I Have Hole in My Sidewalk
http://fromthemindoftim.blogspot.com/2011/04/analysis-part-3-i-have-hole-in-my.html
From the mind of Tim. Monday, April 4, 2011. Analysis - Part 3 I Have Hole in My Sidewalk. This will follow the same format as Part 2. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in. it's a habit. But, my eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. Instead of looking for ways to change others we begin to look for ways to change ourselves. We finally accept personal responsiblity for landing in the hole! I walk around it.

From the mind of Tim: Why Can't I Be Gandhi?
http://fromthemindoftim.blogspot.com/2011/03/why-cant-i-be-gandhi.html
From the mind of Tim. Saturday, March 26, 2011. Why Can't I Be Gandhi? I am a counselor. I asked my group to answer this question: What do you say or believe you can’t do, but in reality, you won’t, for whatever reason. I was amazed at their insightful and thought provoking answers. I can’t forgive my sister. I can’t trust anyone. I can’t change my relationship. I can’t stop judging other people. We discussed how they can do all of the above and it was really rather simple but not easy. Yes, I do. Do...
