Living in a nonsensical life:

  I have contemplated for a while on where I shall begin. However, it has not been effective. Undoubtedly, the reason for this would be the multitude of perceptions I am confronted with. My mind apparently cannot concentrate and focus on one long enough to remember. In turn, if I cannot remember, I am unable to retain any of my thoughts and ideas. I go to the point that I do not remember if I jst asked a question.

Let me just start off by explain who I am and what got me to this point.

I never thought like I thought I should think. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I didn’t know what to do about it.

I was always a though thing to handle, even long before took my first. I am fighter. I was conceived after my mother tried my mom passed on the operating table, if I remember correctly, twice giving birth to me. I was in the hospital for weeks in an incubator before my mother was able to even hold me.

When I was growing up, I would land in the hospital for days.  To this day, I still vividly remember one of the many times that I was omitted for 'double pneumonia'. I was so sick, it was one of only two times I actually miss a few seconds of reality, also known as to having a 'blackout'. Soon after the nursed had me lay on a freezing sheet of gel. A gel so cold, it froze me to the bone and almost forced me to curled up on the floor. In my mind, the floor unquestionably had to be warmer than the gel. I overheard a nurse speaking outside my door about how I was only getting worse. While, at this time, I thought I was getting better. That was moral depressor, needless to say.

I don’t even remember being brought into the hospital. The next morning, a young male nurse was talking to me, asking questions on how I was feeling. He paused, looked at me, perhaps noticing my unmindful reaction to his words, spoke "I asked you that same thing last night. You don’t remember, do you?" I, astonished, shook my head no.

Hospital visits were coming yearly for ear infections also. Every year, almost to the month, I would be admitted for ear infections.

........

This to be cont.


I will, for the lack of direction, write as sporadic as my mind thinks. Forgive me for the disorganization.  However, as a result, I hope to gather it all and provide a ‘path'.  I hope opening my mind to others will help us all focus and connect thoughts and concepts to live in and appreciate ‘the BIG picture.’

Communication = Panic

I have the worst anxiety when ANYONE start a conversation with me. I stumble over my words, lose my thoughts, heart races.

How can I improve communication skills?

~Somehow train my brain to retain information and ideas so I am able to start and maintain a conversation.
~Train myself to use and nonverbal and verbal cues.
~Train myself to interpret nonverbal and verbal cues.
~Elaborate on details.
~Connect with other's feelings and emotions.
~Communicate in a warm, supportive and nurturing behavior.
~Willingness and an ability to bestow your feelings, emotions, thoughts and ideas.
~Set time aside.
~I need to select my words careful and watch my tone of voice.
~Have empathy and understanding of their feelings.
~Always be positive
~Withhold communicating until it is an appropriate time.
~Don't answer without knowing fully what your answering to.
~Always remember there is a third side, you AND their side.
~Focus on ONE thing at a time.
~When arguing, don't focus on the negative reaction of the other person, focus on the hurtful ones
~I am not always right, which in turn means my way is not always right.
~I cannot change others. I cannot change the meaning of their emotions.
~Nonverbal is last resort, communication is my most important tool.

**Improve my capacities and abilities
***Recognize feminine traits, such as sensitivity and caring, are not traits of weakness, they are sources of STRENGTH

My human experience (quotes for improved life-**on running post**)



"The art of listening is based on silence in the mind, so that the mind does not interfere, it simply allows whatever is coming to you."
~OSHO

When every day is a new epiphany!



I am starting this blog, first and foremost, to organize my scattered thoughts and ideas. Amidst every ‘low’ I struggle through, I acquire experience that leads me to an understanding of life. Wisdom one might say. However, despite all of my observations, I am unable to convert any of them into an opportunity of self-improvement.
The reason for the aberration in my mind is that I am unable to focus, assemble, and absorb the journey that I am living. Consequently, I am incapable of remembering, or retaining life situations to enhance my life.
Nevertheless, I am determined to further myself, and bring ALL of my personality, individuality, character and knowledge together and live a fulfilling life. The kind of life that I know I can achieve, if only I could focus, organize, and retain my thoughts and experiences of my life.

I come across quotes, statistics, and knowledge, throughout my personal and academic studies, which I find intriguing. Some, I find it possible type of 'stepping stone' that could lead to a more fulfilled life. I found in my trial and errors, that writing my thoughts, feelings, ideas, and theories down seems to help me gather and connect all of it together. 

I have a very good friend that lifts me up when times are blue. Throughout her busy schedule, she will be adding her own views, points and tips. Her name is Christina Pujals and she has a beautiful mind and heart. I thought it would be a benefit to everyone involved. In the context of everyone, I mean Christina, myself, and all of you that have decided to partake in this adventure of ours.
In the end, I hope to bring understanding and calmness in my mind as well as yours. And perhaps, enlighten all of our lives, one fragment at a time.

Wish me luck, as I wish all of yo
u.
Time heals all; it is what you do within that time that molds your future.
