There’s a battle of the minds being waged. It’s subtle and easily missed unless we’re tuned in and paying attention to what’s going on. The danger lies in people’s unwillingness to be held accountable for what they do. This has become the norm for society today and has a ripple effect. People routinely commit serious injustices with no remorse. This happens so often that we’ve become numb to it. To describe it, popular culture comes up with sanitized names such as “responsibility deficit disorder” and tries to address the symptoms instead of the root cause, which lies in how we think. Our thoughts influence the direction of our lives. However, what was once right is now considered wrong, and vice versa. The result is that no one knows what to think anymore, which opens the door to an “anything goes” mentality. The cure for this is a return to biblical morality. It’s tempting for some to dodge taking responsibility for their actions, but eventually each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. Every action has a corresponding consequence; this is the missing link in the minds of many. Get your head on straight, before time runs out.?

Every human worries on occasion, but for some of us, the suffering is on a quite different and more life-destroying scale: we are, without wishing to be ungrateful or absurd, more or less permanently anxious.? ? What makes matters so hard for us, the anxious, is that we are unable to maintain a distinction between what objectively deserves terror and what automatically and unthinkingly provokes terror. The quintessential calming question – ‘Is there actually anything to be scared of here?’ – can’t even enter consciousness: there’s no sense that a benign response could even be possible.? Easily terrified people aren’t stupid; they may even be among the brightest. It is just that somewhere in their history, the mental equipment designed to distinguish logically between relative dangers has been destroyed. They have – somewhere along the line – received such a very big fright that pretty much everything has now grown frightening. Every slightly daunting challenge becomes a harbinger of the end; there are no more gradations. The party where one knows no one, the speech to delegates, the tricky conversation at work… these put the whole of existence into question. Pretty much every day is a crisis. So why are we like this? And, more importantly, how do we get better? To find out, click the link. https://lnkd.in/exJU983i

???Anger isn't the enemy—it's the messenger.??? For so long, many of us were taught to suppress our anger. Whether it was in childhood, at work, or in our relationships, we’ve been conditioned to see anger as a "bad" emotion—something to be hidden or managed away. But what if anger was?actually?trying to help us? ? What if it was pointing us to unmet needs, broken boundaries, or unresolved pain? Here’s the truth: anger can be an incredible force for?growth?when we learn to understand it. It’s not about acting out in rage, but about listening to what our anger is really telling us. ???Anger is a compass—a tool for us to advocate for ourselves, to heal, and to step into our power with clarity and confidence. It’s about saying, “This isn’t right for me, and I deserve better.” Instead of pushing it down, we can use it to: Set?healthy boundaries Speak up with our?authentic voice Acknowledge and heal from?past trauma Build stronger?relationships?(with ourselves and others) ??

Awareness is key to understanding and addressing your experiences. ?? Take a moment to reflect. Have you experienced this? Let's support one another in the journey towards healthier lives.

The first Monday of May is Misophonia Awareness Day ?????? Misophonia is a type of neurodiversity which is estimated to affect around 1 in 5 people. A person who has misophonia will experience an extreme emotional response to certain everyday sounds, such as eating sounds, snoring, and repetitive environmental sounds like keyboard tapping and rustling paper. Whilst many people find these noises annoying, individuals with misophonia describe an intense feeling of disgust, anger, distress, or panic that escalates while the sound is still present. They often describe feeling trapped, helpless, and out of control when they can’t get away from these sounds. An individual can be considered to have clinically significant misophonia when it causes frequent distress and has an impact on daily living, work, study and/or relationships. This might include anxious anticipation of sounds before they happen, replaying sounds after the event, feeling guilty or embarrassed about one’s own reactions, thinking a lot about the person making the sound, verbal outbursts, and avoidance of things one would otherwise like to do (for fear of encountering sounds). At the more severe level, individuals may be unable to work or attend school, have trouble maintaining relationships, feel near constant distress, and may contemplate ending their life. It is important to remember that we all experience the world in difference ways and that something as seemingly innocuous as chewing or watching tv may be impacting someone far more seriously than we realise. Let's all try to be more sensitive to the noises we make. Let's all try to think more about those around us and how our noise may be impacting them. Let's all be more empathetic and compassionate to those with misophonia. #MisophoniaAwarenessDay #misophonia #neurodiversity #LNN #LegalNeurodiversityNetwork Misophonia UK

How might you slow down enough to intentionally embrace tenderness in your life? On February 15 at 1 pm ET join Linda Lantieri, Meena Srinivasan & Christa M. Tinari for a discussion on Building Inner & Collective Resilience. We'll explore tools to navigate stress, foster personal renewal, and cultivate resilience in a 'Beloved Community.' You can register now for this transformative virtual session here: https://bit.ly/3tNnFf2 For many of us in human service professions, our work is deeply connected to an inner calling. However, as we continue to serve and lead in various roles, staying connected to this calling and sense of inner purpose can be challenging at times. We will draw on principles derived from modern brain research to strengthen our social, emotional, and spiritual capacities by equipping both adults and young people with contemplative practices that can regulate emotions, increase compassion, and cultivate inner and collective resilience.
