'I Loved You'

by Alexander Pushkin, translated by R. Mainwaring-Hewitt:
I loved you; even now I may confess,
Some embers of my love their fire retain;
But do not let it cause you more distress,
I do not want to sadden you again.
Hopeless and tongue-tied, yet I loved you dearly
With pangs the jealous and the timid know,
So tenderly I loved you, so sincerely,
I pray God grant another love you so.

Overcoming Negative Thinking

2010-06-28T10:41:00.001-04:00

Overcoming Negative Thinking

Chris Woolston
CONSUMER HEALTH INTERACTIVE

In the words of psychiatrist David Burns, MD, people who are depressed are often masters of illusion. Their pessimistic outlook -- and some unconscious tricks of the mind -- can turn triumphs into setbacks, and setbacks into personal failings. Those of us prone to depression may be successful and accomplished, but we're often plagued by negative thoughts about ourselves and our future. This thinking distorts our view of the world until everything seems dreary and hopeless.

Burns is among the leading cognitive-behavior therapists, a group of psychiatrists and psychologists who think that changing negative, distorted thinking is crucial to overcoming depression. The tendency toward negative thinking isn't merely a symptom of depression, they say -- it's the root of the disease. Since our thoughts or "cognitions" shape our moods, positive thoughts can translate into an energetic, hopeful mood, while pervasive negative thoughts may cause us to sink into despair.

A study of 349 college students published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology underscores this point. Students with pessimistic outlooks were eight times more likely than others to become depressed in the next two and a half years.

But negative thoughts don't have to be a way of life -- and neither does depression. If you're in the grip of depression, you need to seek professional help for your illness; if the depression is accompanied by mania, hallucinations, or suicidal feelings, you need to get help immediately. Help can be a call to a crisis center, to your local mental health agency, to your primary care physician, or even to 911.

The good news is that with time, effort, and treatment, even a crushing depression can lift. Many people who are depressed find relief through antidepressants or therapy: Interpersonal therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy are two types that have been shown to be effective at dealing with even the most stubborn cases of the illness. But as an adjunct to treatment, therapists have developed a number of "self-care" exercises you can use to help you control your thoughts and moods.

The idea that you can "unlearn" self-defeating ways of thinking that pave the way toward mood disorders is the basis of cognitive therapy, developed by Aaron T. Beck, MD, Burns, and others. In an updated version of his book Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy (Avon Books, 1999), Burns outlines a set of cognitive therapy techniques that people can use at home and at work to help boost their self-confidence and break the cycle of repeated depressions. His first set of exercises has to do with eliminating the distorted, self-defeating, and ultimately destructive thoughts that pave the way to depression.

Negative thinking: The 10 grand illusions

Before you can control destructive thoughts, of course, you have to recognize them. In his book Feeling Good, Burns identifies what he and other cognitive-behavioral therapists view as the 10 major mental or "cognitive" distortions that can open the door to depression. If you suffer from depression -- and you have plenty of company if you do -- some of these are bound to sound familiar.

1. All-or-nothing thinking. In this type of thinking, you're either a hero or a failure. Any small misstep marks you as a failure. This kind of thinking can lead to crippling perfectionism.

2. Overgeneralization. Whenever something bad happens, it's bound to happen again and again. If somebody you've idealized turns you down for a date, for example, you feel certain that the next person will, too.

3. The mental filter. You dwell on the downside of any situation while overlooking anything positive. If you're an editor, you may become obsessed with a typo that escaped into print rather than congratulating yourself for getting out a great issue.

4. Diminishing the positive. In this kind of thinking, you tend to twist positive events into negative ones. If you just got a raise, for example, you may put yourself down for not getting a bigger raise.

5. Jumping to conclusions. You become either a mind reader or a fortune teller -- whatever it takes to see trouble on the horizon. If a friend doesn't return a call, he secretly dislikes you. If you like your job, you'll probably lose it soon.

6. The binocular trick. It's as if you're wearing a special lenses that lets you see everything blown out of proportion. Little problems become monstrous; major victories, trifling.

7. Emotional reasoning. You believe mood reflects your true identity: You feel lousy because you are lousy.

8. 'Should' and 'must' thoughts. You constantly remind yourself of things you should or must do. (One expert calls this "musterbation.") At the end of the day, you feel buried in guilt and shame. You may also dwell on things that other people should or must do, setting yourself up for frustration and bitterness.

9. Labeling and mislabeling. You tend to equate your 'self' with what you do, and since everyone makes mistakes, over time you develop a negative self-image based on errors you've made. If you invested in a high-tech stock deal that blew up in your face, for example, you view yourself as a failure. Failure, loser, dummy: The labels stick. If you tend to label other people as well, you'll reap a lot of hostility.

10. Personalization. You assume responsibility for anything that goes wrong, even when it's not your fault. Burns calls this line of thinking "the mother of guilt."

Writing away depression

You may not be able to eliminate all these self-defeating thoughts, but you can keep them from wrecking your mood. To rid yourself of relentless self-criticism and distorted thoughts, Burns suggests spending 15 minutes every day capturing your thought process on paper. Looking at your thoughts on paper will allow you to search the list above to see what's distorted or "wrong" about them; next, take the time to come up with a fair and rational rebuttal. Whether you're depressed or just a bit down, the exercise may help you feel better within a couple of weeks. Here's his approach:

Start by briefly describing an event that bothered you, perhaps a comment by your spouse or something that went wrong at work. Write down the emotions you felt. Were you mostly sad, mostly angry, a little of both? Record the thoughts that led to those emotions (such as, "My marriage is in deep trouble" or "I'm doing a lousy job"). It's important to write down the thoughts that led to the emotions rather than the emotions themselves, because if you write, "I feel awful," well, that's probably true. Instead, write down the thoughts that are causing you to feel awful, then decide which, if any, of the 10 categories above your thoughts fall into (Overgeneralization? Jumping to conclusions?).

Once you identify the fallacies behind your negative thinking, you're ready to move forward. Look again at your thoughts and try to think of a more rational, optimistic response. For instance, "My marriage is in deep trouble" may give way to "My wife wasn't in a good mood today." You could counter "I'm doing a lousy job" with "I wasn't at my best today, but everyone makes mistakes" or "I still have some room to improve."

You may find that the simple act of writing down your problems gives you some newfound power and control. Things just don't seem so overwhelming on paper. And if the exercise helps break the stream of negative thoughts and mental illusions, you'll have more protection against depression. Now that's a pleasant thought.

Captain Spock: What you want is irrelevant, what you have chosen is at hand.

"Star Trek: The Next Generation" The Best of Both Worlds: Part 1 (1990)

Capt. Picard: We may yet prevail. That's a... a conceit. But... it's a healthy one. I wonder if the Emperor Honorius watching the Visigoths coming over the seventh hill truly realized that the Roman Empire was about to fall. This is just another page in history, isn't it? Will this be the end of *our* civilization? Turn the page.

"Star Trek: The Next Generation" Frame of Mind (1993)
Commander William T. Riker: What I need is to get out of this cell! I've been locked up in here for days. You've controlled my every move, you told me what to eat, what to think, what to say. And when I show a glimmer of independent thought, you strap me down, inject me with drugs and call it a 'treatment'.

Counselor Deanna Troi: Have you ever heard Data define friendship?
Commander William T. Riker: No.
Counselor Deanna Troi: How did he put it? "As I experience certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways become accustomed to them. The inputs eventually are anticipated and even missed when absent."

"Star Trek: The Next Generation" Legacy (1990)

Ishara Yar: Are you able to have friends?
Lt. Commander Data: Yes.
Ishara Yar: But you don't have feelings, do you?
Lt. Commander Data: Not as such. However, even among humans, friendship is sometimes less an emotional response and more a sense of... familiarity.
Ishara Yar: So, you can become used to someone?
Lt. Commander Data: Exactly. As I experience certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways become accustomed to them. The input is eventually anticipated, and even missed when absent.

Commander William T. Riker: In all trust, there is the possibility of betrayal. I'm not sure you were... prepared for that.

Lt. Commander Data: Were you prepared, sir?
Commander William T. Riker: I don't think anybody ever is.
Lt. Commander Data: Hm... Then it is better not to trust?
Commander William T. Riker: Without trust there's no friendship. No closeness. None of the emotional bonds that makes us who we are.
Lt. Commander Data: And yet you put yourself at risk?
Commander William T. Riker: Every single time.
Lt. Commander Data: Perhaps I am fortunate, sir - to be spared the emotional consequences.
Commander William T. Riker: Perhaps...

The Matrix Reloaded

Agent Smith: But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

Neo: No thankyou.
Merovingian: Yes, of course. Who has time? Who has time? But then if we never *take* time, how can we have time?

Merovingian: What is the reason? Soon the why and the reason are gone and all that matters is the feeling. This is the nature of the universe. We struggle against it, we fight to deny it; but it is of course a lie. Beneath our poised appearance we are completely out of control.

Kowtow (simplified Chinese: 叩头; traditional Chinese: 叩頭; pinyin: kòu tóu; Cantonese: kau tàuh, Vietnamese: khấu đầu) is the act of deep respect shown by kneeling and bowing so low as to have one's head touching the ground. An alternative Chinese term is ketou (simplified Chinese: 磕头; traditional Chinese: 磕頭; pinyin: Kētóu); however, the meaning is somewhat altered: kòu originally meant "knock with reverence",[citation needed] whereas kē has the general meaning of "touch upon (a surface)".[citation needed]

In Han Chinese culture, the kowtow is the highest sign of reverence. It was widely used to show reverence for one's elders, superiors, and especially the Emperor, as well as for religious and cultural objects of worship. In modern times, usage of the kowtow has become much reduced.

Windows 7 has arrived...

2009-10-26T10:46:00.004-04:00

I've been using a pre-release version and expect to upgrade to the new version soon. Here are few of my favorite things....

Things I like about Windows 7

1. Peek... Hover over a task bar item and get a preview of each item even if they are stacked...

2. Good multi monitor support

3. Aero Window Manager

4. Customizable Libraries --I've always used a "Stuff" folder for all my "Stuff" = "Movies, MP3, Pictures."

5. Fast boot time.

6. Start button

7. Explorer path

. . . More to come . . .

Happy Halloween & Happy Birthday

2008-10-24T08:26:00.006-04:00

I've always loved Halloween. I liked the parties growing up. It was usually a combination party. I remember the basement decorated all up, the bobbing for apples, and the scary stories. "I'm the ghost of Able Mable. Put you money on the table" "Rap, Rap, Rap." The Chocolate cake with chocolate icing and a black cat drawn on it. Playing football(who knew). Raking leaves(even more so). Scary songs. Carving jack-o-lanterns. The candy. Hope everyone has a great holiday.

Try Chrome

2008-09-03T14:02:00.002-04:00

Just tried a new web browser, Chrome. Built by the minds who know the web oh so well at Google. I really like the interface and so far has been sturdy as I could hope. There are obvious issues with living in an I.E. world, but none that matter. Yes, I was a big proponent of Firefox, but I like this one better. Why? Not for sure. Not just because it's new because I ran as fast as I could away from Apples browser. I'll keep you uptodate and tell what I find.

House sold!

2008-04-22T19:20:00.005-04:00

A week ago today April 15, my house in KY finally sold to a nice young man. Yippee! kinda. Day late and a dollar short, but better things are around the corner..... I can't wait to tell you about it... But more to come...

Also, by "coincidence", those of you who have been to my blog a few times may have noticed my profile icon has changed. The old one was taken off photobucket just today and I had to upload a new one. I had the traveler from the movie intro because I was on a journey to discover something. The journey has come to an end and there is a new sun on the horizon.....

Congratulations to my brother, Justin who just got married this past weekend to his lovely new bride, Shae. I just came back from the wedding last night. I created a memorabilia slide show for the wedding. Thought I'd post it here for those of you who missed it.

I Love My Son, Ricky

2008-01-15T21:33:00.001-05:00

I love Ricky. We are both part of the e-lite club known as middle boys. He is so thoughtful and tenderhearted, but at times can be dunder headed. Sound like anyone else you know of? (Excuse dangling preposition. It bugs me.) I still go back to the day he was born and think if they had lost him.... Sorry, but it was tramatic. It makes him dear to my heart. I saw this picture and thought I'd share him with my blog friend/s.

Home at Last!

2008-01-01T16:14:00.001-05:00

Made it home last night at about 12:30 am. We were very glad to get in the door. There's no place like home. Click. Click. Click. We didn't have much trouble getting home. Monday morning was a bit odd though. It had rained on Sunday and the temperature had dropped a few degrees Sunday night. When I went over bridges Monday morning, I could feel the car lose it's grip. When we got almost to Ashland, the interstate was closed and we were diverted onto a side road. This added a while to our journey. But we made it. Hope all is well with those out there. More to come later.

Contract on My House

2007-11-19T17:23:00.000-05:00

Yes it's true. I have a contract on my house. How great is that?!! Now I'm trying to be reserved in my joyfulness in the possible happenstance that it falls through. Close date is November 29. Wahooo.. Uuhuhmm.. Reserved, man, be reserved...

[Nov. 19, 2007]
NOT!!! What was I thinking of course not. There is no way on this planet that anything would go my way this easy. Ha-ha. Life said, Made ya look. The people's financing fell through. I'm stuck, bad. Oh well life goes on.... Anyone interested in buying a working class person's house, cheap? Didn't think so....

A slow Saturday...Who knew?

2007-10-06T17:13:00.001-04:00

Just thought I'd stop a make a quick post on my blog for the 3 or 4 people who even know about it.

I'm having a slow Saturday. I've been sick since Wednesday evening with a head cold. Lots of ..um ..drainage. Post nasal drip. Oh, you know, the snots. I hung around the house quite a bit. Felt like I've been here enough to say I actually live here. Usually takes a while when you only sleep at a place.

The kids are doing fine is school. Anna doesn't seem to have any problems with 1st grade. It seems like last years work was about the same as this years. She is a smart one.

Ricky is beginning to make friends. He was the one who felt like he lost the most when we left Lexington. He had lots of friends. But initially here he didn't. He's got a good friend named Jacob that he goes over to his house a lot.

Chip has started track this year. It's something new the school is doing this year. Takes a lot of time of his and ours to go back and forth. He seam to enjoy it.

Mary likes her work still. She doesn't like the in house politics that goes with it. But then, who does???

Last week I celebrated me 1 year anniversary with CSC. BIW is going through their end of year processes which always means a lot of hand ringing for budgets and managers bringing pressure on hours. They cut every where and expect you to find you own rock to stand on.

The house is still on the market. I'll post the link to the pictures. Lots better than last time. Let's hope this ends soon.

That's all from Maine. Take care all..

Back from KY

2007-09-03T18:07:00.000-04:00

Just made it back last night from our world wind return to Kentucky. Everyone there is there. I'd like to appologize to those 2 or 3 friends I didn't get to get by to see. You know who you are and I'm sorry. Maybe next time. I plan on returning at Christmas. Hopefully less rushed and less house fixing to do. (please let it sell before then.)

The ride home was a lot better than the one down. Driving all day is much better than driving all night....

We went today, Labor Day, to Walmart and bought the kids their back to school supplies. Wow! I'm broke now.

School starts tomorrow. Mary and I are back to work. Oh, boy.

Happy anniversary to us...

Going camping...

2007-06-07T09:33:00.000-04:00

The whole Glantz clan ia going camping for the whole weekend to Dolly Copp. I've pulled the tent, sleeping bags, and fishing gear out of storage. Should be a great time.

Funny idea hit me last night. I was trying to figure out how to get our air matress blown up. I've asked around to see if anyone has an airpump. Nothing that fits the bill is available. I thought that just before I reached for my breathing machine. Hmm. Breathing Machine. Air pump. Hmm... Maybe...

Mary's trip to Lexington

2007-06-07T09:24:00.002-04:00

I would like to thank all those people who went out of their way to help my wife enjoy her vacation time. She had the time of her life(except the sun burn(ouch!)). Special times like this help unite people's heart and build life long relationships. When we get to busy to enjoy life, what life do we have? I hope to make a journey myself back in the near future. Times are just bit rough right now. We shall see what we shall see.

Special thanks to...

New technology.

2007-05-07T13:37:00.000-04:00

Very few times in recent days have I tried something new in the world of computers and technology. I read an article and tried G.HO.ST. That is something very interesting and I wonder where it is heading. If you wanna try something new, sign up and try it. It's new and full of bugs and not really useful yet, but the possibilities are reall cool.

Rough week

2007-05-07T13:11:00.000-04:00

Last week was really rough. What is the weather saying for March, "In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb". April was the other way, "In Like a Lamb, Out Like a Lion".

More..um..upleasant..um..stuff has happened in the last few weeks.

My grandmother has been very ill and in-and-out of the hospital. The doctors don't know what is wrong. Guesses is about all I'm hearing about. I love her very much. I pray she gets well soon.

My best friend, my nephew-in-law, here in Maine is "probably" moving away. He has a job opportunity in Greenville, SC. Isn't that ironic.

My house hasn't sold yet and my real estate agent in KY has given up the fight. I've not decided on what to do next. My dad is going to try a thing or two. He's the greatest.

Since my house hasn't sold, the people I've rented my house from has decided it's been long enough and has "asked" me to leave at the end of the month. They've not been the most supportive people, but I do understand wanting to get your money out of real estate. I would understand if he had sold the house to someone else. I definitely would be glad for him then, but his daughter has talked him into this so she can have the place.

I've not found a new place yet. I've talked to my nephew-in-law about his place since he will "probably" be leaving at the end of the month. Nothing definite there yet.

One good thing, Mary just got a new job at Intercoast Career Institute. It sounds like great opportunity. This will setup so that even my if house doesn't sell for a while we can get a new home.
