“The public's continuing ambivalence about cultural matters is all the more striking given that the political conversation on these issues has for 30 years been dominated by an aggressive, radical right-wing insurgency that has achieved an influence far out of proportion to its numbers. Its potent secret weapon has been the guilt and anxiety about desire that inform the character of Americans regardless of ideology; appealing to those largely unconscious emotions, the right has disarmed, intimidated, paralyzed its opposition.” YearsHas BeensMatterCharacterPoliticalDesireGivenNumbersSecretEmotionIssuesInfluenceConversationAnxietyWeaponsWingsGuiltIdeologyRadicalProportionUnconsciousOppositionAggressiveContinuingRight WingIntimidatedParalyzedAmbivalenceInsurgency Author:Ellen Willis

“One study on the treatment of asthma patients conducted by researchers John Goyeche, Dr. Ago, and Dr. Ikemi, suggests that any effective treatment should address suppressed emotions-such as anxiety and self-image-as well as the physical dimension. To achieve this, they encourage correction of poor posture, and helping the person relax the irrelevant respiratory muscles while restoring full diaphragmatic breathing. They also recommended finding ways for getting rid of excess mucus. The good news is that a well rounded breath practice will do all these things.” WayShouldWellsPersonsSelfHelpingPoorEmotionPracticeStudyAchieveAnxietyFindingsNewsBreathsPatientBreathingMusclesDimensionsAddressesRelaxTreatmentExcessDrsIrrelevantGood NewsPostureResearchersCorrectionsRestoringAsthmaWell RoundedRespiratory Author:Donna Farhi

“We believe that 95% of your emotions are determined by the way you talk to yourself as you go throughout your day. The sad fact is that if you do not deliberately and consciously talk to yourself in a positive and constructive way, you will, by default, think about things that will make you unhappy or cause you worry and anxiety. Your mind is like a garden. If you do not deliberately plant flowers and tend carefully, weeds will grow without any encouragement at all.” IfsThinkingWayMindBelieveFactsGrowsCausesEmotionWorryFlowerAnxietyGardenEncouragementPlantDeterminedUnhappyWeedConstructiveDefault Author:Brian Tracy
