Do You Have A Negative Self-Concept?
SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A NEGATIVE SELF-CONCEPT Knowledge Acquisition and the Social Self Social cognition seeks to explain how people perceive themselves and other people. When one understands that cognition is acquiring knowledge, one can then understand the meaning of social cognition. The most straightforward meaning is acquiring knowledge about one's social environment through the impressions formed based on bias and our subjective impressions. Humans function differently in an ever social setting based on the expectations of others as well as their expectations (Bargh &Williams, 2006).

Working Wordsmiths (Series/2)
What is Writing for Wellbeing? Writing for wellbeing is about exploring and expanding knowledge and understanding of our own health and wellness through the power of words. Too often we dismiss or undervalue our everyday thoughts, feelings and experiences. Yet research has shown that reading and writing activities actively promote health and wellbeing. Writing for wellbeing can even help us manage long-term conditions and can help with a range of issues including mild to moderate depression, isolation, dementia, recovery from stroke and other illnesses that impact on individual identity.

The Wonderful World of Me
Welcome back, now that we have learned that my childhood was one big ass mess of undiagnosed ADD and ADHD with a lot of anxiety thrown in for good measure, let’s talk about what it was like figuring this all out as an adult. When you are a child, you don’t know what is going on with you, you made to believe that it’s typical kid hating school stuff, so they say to focus more and pay attention but that doesn’t help. That is what happened to me, told to focus more and try to pay attention better; meanwhile, I am having the hardest time trying to sit still in class and not wet myself from other issues that I had. When looking back on my childhood and the behavior I showed, the realization that something was wrong comes to mind, but with no idea where to look for answers, a roadblock is hit and a new route must be taken. The real concern is not finding a place to start it’s finding the money to pay for it when the place is found, most places want you to pay for their services and I don’t have the money right now.

Snow In April
Snow on my birthday was the best possible gift Denver could have given me after the past five birthdays here. That is not to say that the others haven’t been beautiful in their own way, but instead to say that now, finally at 32, an age that I never thought I would reach, a blanket of soft, fresh, silent snow, is exactly what I wanted from Mother Nature.

Long Thaw
Everyone has their demons, and everyone's demons mess with their heads in their own special way. With that, everyone also has their own way of fighting those demons. Some turn to creative outlets. Some turn to friends and families as distractions or for guidance. Some have to get outside to stop the turmoil happening inside.

Top Ten Tips for Stalking Synchronicity
As some of you may know, and most of you probably won't know, these top ten tips are included at the beginning of my first lecture on synchronicity, as a little guide to the phenomena. I clarified, in this lecture, that there would be a more extensive explanation of these top ten tips in an appendix of the lecture notes; this is that appendix. If you find these ideas interesting, I recommend you check out my lecture series on my Youtube channel, which I will link at the end of this article. More importantly however, if any of these ideas strikes a deep chord of resonance within you, contact me and let me know how and why. I always love to learn about the experiences of other people who are open to the magic of reality. Enjoy the piece!
