Views: 1089 - Is More Really Better - by Submitted on Jul 28, 2014 from Judy GoldmanIt makes sense to think that the average person believes things they hear and see on television. I’m not referring to the shows that are clearly fictional, but rather commentary-type information whether it is in the form of news, documentary, or even on commercials. And they do. There is ...
Views: 1005 - THE HAPPINESS-SERENITY CONNECTION - by Submitted on Jul 28, 2014 from Judy GoldmanI love the Beatles as much as the next guy; maybe even more. But current research clearly demonstrates that there is quite a bit more to Happiness than a ‘warm gun.’ (For those of you who may not be up on your Beatle trivia, I’m referring to a song, written by John Lennon, off their eponymous ...
Views: 1224 - The Mindfullness, Eating Connection - by Submitted on Nov 23, 2013 from Judy GoldmanOnce more, mindfulness is being totally present and in the moment and avoiding judgment.

Views: 1163 - How Mindfulness Works - by Submitted on Nov 21, 2013 from Judy GoldmanMany years ago, I read a book that spoke about how we need to provide ourselves with self-check ups. It was a strange idea, I thought, because I’m with myself all the time, what on earth do I need to check in about? But I am sure that we can all relate to ‘catching’ ourselves doing certain ...
Views: 1116 - Why Vs. How - by Submitted on Sep 18, 2013 from Judy GoldmanI’ve been doing some more work with emotional awareness and mindfulness. This is quickly becoming something that has a firm grasp on my interest and focus. And one of the things that I am zeroing in on is the difference between : • Thinking about feelings • Feeling the ...
Views: 1100 - Marvelous, Miraculous Mindfulness - by Submitted on Sep 15, 2013 from Judy GoldmanSo, let’s talk a bit more about emotions. It is not a huge leap from understand and accepting physical development taking time to that of our emotional development and growth needing time to develop into maturity as well. That is why as children, we cannot cope with many events in our ...
Views: 1054 - Internal Vs. External - by Submitted on Sep 12, 2013 from Judy GoldmanThere is so much more to be said for the topic of mindfulness.

Views: 1005 - The How Tos of Mindfulness - by Submitted on Sep 12, 2013 from Judy GoldmanIf we wish to learn a new habit, there is much documentation to support that we need to spend approximately a month repeating the new behavior in order to get it to become routine in any way. We learn better slowly, giving our brains time to process and absorb and finally retain important pieces ...
Views: 971 - The Powers of Mindfulness - by Submitted on Sep 12, 2013 from Judy GoldmanIf we were asked where our thoughts come from, most likely every one of us would point to our heads. We know that our brain houses our thoughts and with current research, we understand the process of neurons firing – our ‘brains’ telling us what to do. If we were asked where our movement ...
Views: 886 - More On Mindfulness - by Submitted on Sep 12, 2013 from Judy GoldmanDid you ever make up your mind that you were going to buy a new car? One of the most amazing things happens when that occurs. After painstaking contemplation and consideration, you finally decide on the make and model you are going to get, maybe even the color. It is always right after this ...
Views: 982 - Mindfulness 101 - by Submitted on Jun 02, 2013 from Judy GoldmanHave you ever heard the saying “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present?” Let’s give credit where it is due. That quote belongs to Bill Keane, the creator of the old cartoon Family Circus. Mother Teresa had a very similar one. ...
Views: 1078(2 votes) - Put Positive Psychology to the Test - by Submitted on Apr 14, 2013 from Judy GoldmanPerhaps one of the strongest motivations for the development of the recent branch of psychology known as Positive Psychology, is the desire to move away from viewing the purpose of care as the treatment of mental illness.

Views: 1160(2 votes) - Four Fs To Teenspeak - by Submitted on Apr 14, 2013 from Judy GoldmanAll good counselors and therapists learn early on, possibly the most valuable skill they can develop, is to meet their clients where they are.
