Just sayin'
My mind is so absent these days, I spend half my day standing one place or another and wondering why I'm there! The other half looking for my mind! I'd be interested to know where it goes and what it gets up to. I keep finding blogs on her I didn't know I wrote. So that's where it goes! If you find it up here please send it home!
Focussing on hate only brings more of what you hate, and is usually a reflection of what one hates in themselves. A very wise counsellor once told me, what people say and do is about them and only them. I learned that she was absolutely correct.
I hope I haven't attracted one of those! Maybe she'll tell me where my mind went. Should I tell her it wanders off? Should I tell her I have a criminal record? Hmmmmm
I don't understand this, but will check tomorrow. Best of luck anyway.
Any sane, rational, moments will then be received with gratitude
I might dislike something or someone but I've never shown hate.
I suppose it is the persons total disregard, disrespect for others and their sense of entitlement that annoys me.
It is my pet hate and people being rude and loud in public would be the next.
Acknowledge it! Embrace it! Let it out!
If you internalize it, you'll deveop an ulcer and your stomach will be decimated.
I have nothing to acknowledge or embrace or do I have anything to let out.
I'm a pretty clam person and I listen to calming music which keeps me calm. I've never needed blood pressure pills.I look for the humor in things.
It is nice to be nice, and easy too.
My pet dislike is people telling me hate is a very strong word and I should not use it.
Let it out & beat 'em to within an inch of their miserable worthless lives.
Queue maintained. No ulcer. No worries!
I suppose that option isn't as viable for a gentle strawberry blonde.
Deal with it as best you can
Doorway
We’ve all experienced it: The frustration of entering a room and forgetting what we were going to do. Or get. Or find.
New research from University of Notre Dame Psychology Professor Gabriel Radvansky suggests that passing through doorways is the cause of these memory lapses.
“Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind, which separates episodes of activity and files them away,” Radvansky explains.
“Recalling the decision or activity that was made in a different room is difficult because it has been compartmentalized.”
The study was published recently in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.
Conducting three experiments in both real and virtual environments, Radvansky’s subjects – all college students – performed memory tasks while crossing a room and while exiting a doorway.
In the first experiment, subjects used a virtual environment and moved from one room to another, selecting an object on a table and exchanging it for an object at a different table. They did the same thing while simply moving across a room but not crossing through a doorway.
Radvansky found that the subjects forgot more after walking through a doorway compared to moving the same distance across a room, suggesting that the doorway or “event boundary” impedes one’s ability to retrieve thoughts or decisions made in a different room.
The second experiment in a real-world setting required subjects to conceal in boxes the objects chosen from the table and move either across a room or travel the same distance and walk through a doorway. The results in the real-world environment replicated those in the virtual world: walking through a doorway diminished subjects’ memories.
The final experiment was designed to test whether doorways actually served as event boundaries or if one’s ability to remember is linked to the environment in which a decision – in this case, the selection of an object – was created. Previous research has shown that environmental factors affect memory and that information learned in one environment is retrieved better when the retrieval occurs in the same context. Subjects in this leg of the study passed through several doorways, leading back to the room in which they started. The results showed no improvements in memory, suggesting that the act of passing through a doorway serves as a way the mind files away memories.
Very funny. I don't see a tongue sticking out emoji so here:
