what's in your head, not the mirror

body image
From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia

body image is a term which may refer to the perceptions of a human's own physical appearance,
or the internal sense of having a body which is interpreted by the brain

essentially a person's body image is how they perceive their exterior to look,
and in many cases this can be dramatically different from how they actually appear to others

it's more about what's in your head than what's in the mirror

terrified but optimistic

Investors terrified but also optimistic
a title of a money.cnn article

can we be terrified and optimistic at the same time?

terrified of what's happening, what has yet to happen
optimistic things will be better down the road

is it possible to be hopeful when things around us look bleak?
i think it's possible but often challenging

difficult times can be clarifying
we see what is really important vs. what we thought was important

what are you feeling when you hear the news these days?

the power of apology

why is something so powerful so hard to do?

admitting we're wrong can feel like losing

some people lose their relationships trying to win

sincere heart-felt apologies resolve more than well executed defenses

"i'm sorry" ... how hard is it to say?

hope is possible to be found

when we lose hope ... we have no energy for life


when we find hope ... we can do lots of stuff


sometimes we need help ... finding hope


hope is possible to be found
