| I have been sitting in front of my computer for over an hour now. I first opened a word processing program, and on a blank document, tried to express my current situation and circumstances there, but no words came to me. I then opened a document in which I'd previously compiled several different jou... |

| I can't make sense of what's happening to me. Each day, even having slept ten hours the previous night, getting up and out of bed seems impossible. I often lie there after waking up, thinking about how there's nothing for me to do, and nothing that I'd like to do that day. After this, certain parts ... |

| I have found driving to be a relaxing activity. The space within your car is an extension of your own little world, it's a little bubble that can't be penetrated by others (when driving alone, that is). Having to navigate along a packed five-lane interstate with aggressive, unpredictable drivers asi... |

| For me, the tradition of Spring cleaning is a dull but completely necessary task, often with little this-and-thats (sentimental items tucked away) being discovered during the process, making the activity significantly more bearable, if almost enjoyable. This year's cleaning proved to be anything but... |

| As indicated in the title, I'm looking for some last minute gift ideas for my father for the holidays. I'll have maybe 6 hours maximum to make this happen tomorrow morning and afternoon. I expect the traffic to be horrendous but that is the consequence for waiting so long. I'm fine to spend up to ar... |

| Thanks for your encouraging words of positivity. I've had some experience with hypnotherapy, and found it was not helpful. But, I may not have given it a fair chance. I plan to look into these resources provided above. Another issue quickly making itself known to me, that either of you two first pos... |

| Currently I've completed around 60% of my undergraduate degree, but I'm not sure I have what it takes to finish it entirely, and I don't know what to do. True, I'm feeling more stressed now due to this semester coming to a close, but even during the time periods right after exams have been taken wit... |

Hi Kahlua,
What sort of riding do you do? I'm assuming it's cycling?
Thanks for your response.
Would you mind more specifically describing your daily routine as it applies to eating and exercising?
I'd find that helpful.
Thanks! |

| Do you find your experiences are generally positive or negative when you are the driver with one passenger? I would say that at least 90% of the time when I am driving, it is only myself in the car - inefficiency has never been so peaceful. I rarely have any problems in terms of paying attention to ... |

Sleep in late (into the mid-afternoon) from the previous night, avoid confrontation with anything known to be very disagreeable, placing your attent... |

It was not smart of me to not be considerate of this before beginning the degree. I'm ... |

The important thing though is that I showed up to my class with something ready to turn in, much of the time in the past I would've given up long before then. It is possible ... |
