FEELING UNDER PRESSURE!!
Halloween afternoon on my way to the train station, without thinking I walked out into the traffic and almost met my fate in front of a bus. My mind was full of problematic thoughts. I was distracted to the point that I forgot to be mindful. The truth is that I have been feeling under…
MY SPIRITUAL GROWTH IN THIS BROKEN WORLD
I have been having very strange visions recently and on awakening have recognised that my subconscious is working overtime. I am a different person to who I used to be. I still carry some of the positive qualities that I inherited, but I have left behind a lot of my time-wasting habits that used to…

I went into my first intimate relationship as a good Christian girl with a strict moral upbringing. I had the notion that I would get married and have…

THE MENTAL CLOCK
TIME — the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole When I am doing a task that I am enthusiastic about time tends to fly by quickly. I feel that my day has been productive. I can settle down for the rest of the night. I have…
BEING A PERFECTIONIST!!
A person who refuses to accept any standard short of perfection: What is your definition of perfection? Is it more of the outward appearance than the inner self? Answer: It can be both. If someone asks me to do a task, I will give 100% or will not bother to do the job at all….
