Triggers and Tools

On June 6, 2017 By dancingpalmtreesIn Uncategorized

The Triggers that most affect me are pictures/photos of injured, abused or dead animals especially cats, dogs, & birds. Plus I Don’t Like to be Touched. I particularly Don’t like to be hugged. I have made exceptions for hugging in terms of people I know well who are non-threatening, the very old and the very young. As for everyone else specifically Men: PLEASE DO NOT HUG ME!!
NO PICTURES OR PHOTOS ON YOUR BLOGS OF DEAD, DYING, INJURED OR ABUSED ANIMALS!!!

A Humanitarian Problem
short-sighted at best – unconscionable at worst

This might be the most important post I have ever written
(out of 500+ information-dense articles).
It applies to every single one of us,
so I hope you will take the time to read it all.
A tragic implication of Boiling Frog Syndrome
As I began in an article as part of the Executive Functioning Series, two Mondays ago [How well do you REALLY function?], when things decline gradually we tend to accommodate the accumulation of difficulties until we are struggling to cope and practically desperate for help.

Before I continue with a Series of articles designed to describe and discuss EF struggles, what’s involved, and explain what you can do to mitigate the effects (before, during and after they develop)

Share Your World – June 6, 2017

What’s your strongest sense?

Sense of smell then comes hearing.

Which of Snow White’s 7 dwarfs describes you best? (Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey)

Sleepy. Along with the other little mentioned Dwarfs named Tired and Exhausted.

If you could be one age for the rest of your life, what age would that be?

42. As you can see I was a my Peak Performance. My hair and skin were perfect. My hair as you can see I had Locs was all the way down to my butt. I was pretty. I had plenty of energy. I looked and felt great. No aches, pains or disabilities. Guys liked me. Boy how things have changed!! LOL!!

List of Jobs You Think You Might Enjoy: Even if you aren’t thinking about a career change, it can be fun to think of other jobs you might enjoy. [Remember: This is SYW where even your dreams can become reality.]

I used to wish I could be like the old TV show On the Road with Charles Kuralt with Zora Neale Hurston thrown in for good measure! LOL!!

The only job I want to see or experience is Retirement. The hell with jobs and careers. My whole goal is to disengage and disconnect from society. Made all my contributions when I was a young woman. Now it’s time to be lazy. I wanna Waste Away in Margaritaville as Jimmy Buffet sang!!
