If we choose not to be insulted, we won't be...



So much anguish and discomfort can be traced to what others say and do. People insult us, they demean us, they make us feel uncomfortable. Well, that last point is debatable; I think we make us feel the way we do, but you'll be able to identify with the concept as we've all felt that way at some time. Difficult customers, bullies at work, partners and spouses, friends and acquaintances. We've all been on the receiving end of verbal nastiness from people with whom we spend time.
How much more enjoyable would life be if it to recognise that we are not obliged to accept what people throw our way? 
Eleanor Roosevelt put it well when she said that no-one can make us feel inferior without our consent. 

This cartoon offers us a brilliant visual insight that many will, I hope, find invaluable and apply.

Nike is right. Just do ...

We’ve all been there: in a state of sadness. Sometimes it’s despair. The next day we might get over it, particularly if the sun is shining. But sometimes it doesn’t just go away. And when it persists, low mood can become deeply depressing. Perhaps the most debilitating effect of pathological worry, deep anxiety and the pit of cerebral despair itself – depression – is that soulless, cheerless feeling of anger without enthusiasm, leading the mind to stay firmly focused on ‘what’s wrong’. This cognitive version of tunnel-vision literally loses sight of ‘what’s right’. But not only is it an imbalance; it’s highly resistant to any remotely positive perspectives. When challenged by any optimistic attempts to diminish the insidious feeling of mental angst and gloom, the mind can be downright bigoted. Persistent low mood inexorably takes root within the deepest recesses of our mind, from when it becomes a gloomy-grey filter, literally clouding out all other perspectives. Most sufferers wi...

Why is our self-esteem like the fuel level in our car?

Q: Besides temperature and the fuel level in the car, what else fluctuates? A: Our self esteem! Sometimes it's up and sometimes it drops. When it's low it can be harder to get motivated; when it's high we can be unstoppable. Self-esteem is simply a measure of how we rate ourselves. It is not fixed and it's not "real" — it’s just a feeling about how we feel about ourselves. It varies from day to day, sometimes hourly. If we don't value ourselves we deny ourselves so much of what life has to offer. Just as training is necessary for sporting performance, and diet and exercise underpin physical health, effort is needed to bring about desirable outcomes. And that effort WILL pay off in helping to feel better IF you believe the effort needed will pay off. Too many people refuse to believe they deserve to feel better about themselves. So they don't try. To raise self-esteem we have two options: lower our expectations of ourselves or increase our ach...

World Mental Health Day 2018

Today is World Mental Health day 2018. There are 4,500 deaths from suicide in the UK annually, and 800,00 worldwide. That should be a massive wake-up call for us all. The UK government now has a minister for suicide prevention (https://www.bbc.com/news/health-45804225) with a brief that covers mental health, inequalities and suicide prevention. Will she succeed? If more resources are provided then this will be a good start. Particularly as mental health has long been the poor relation of physical medicine. But tempting though it might be to delegate responsibility to a person or a group and welcome improvements in the provision of resources, good mental health is something that should engage each and every one of us each and every hour of every day. A great deal of mental angst may have an external trigger such as a traumatic event. But how we think during the course of our day may also be just as important. If we allow continually f...
