quote:
1. VICTORY OVER FEAR/STRESS (Pratipaksha-Bhavana-Method)
Sit with closed eyes in the early morning. Meditate on courage, the opposite of fear, for half an hour. Think of the advantages of courage and the disadvantages of fear. Practice the virtue during the day. Feel that you actually possess courage to an enormous degree. Manifest it in your daily life. In some weeks or months fear will be replaced by courage. Repeat the formula mentally, several times daily.
2. FEELING THE PRESENCE OF POSITIVE VIBES
Try to get alone for a few minutes every day. If you cannot afford this, utilize every scrap of leisure you presume to enjoy. Select a lonely place, a river bank, the top of a mount, the open terrace of your house, a sea shore, a simple pleasant meadow, a corner in a temple, church or a private room. Purge all your wavering thoughts. This will be quite easy in any of the above localities as all the senses will be drawn by the exquisite, beauty of the spot or landscape or by the deep silence pervading from all-round. If necessary, burn incense or scented sticks, which will always keep you alert.
Here is something to make you laugh.... at least if you are a cat person.

Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary:
Day 683 of my captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and myself are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.
Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this act would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. The audacity!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released --and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded!
The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. The captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe ... for now.

This is Sleazy...
He's a cat who basically hangs around, sponges food, sleeps where he wants and I don't know where he came from or if he's got an 'owner' as such. Sort of like one of your dope fiend friends you 'kind of know' and they basically glue their arse to the couch and never move watching TV and sleeping all day and night.
Only active about 2 hours a day for defecating, eating and if he could talk, would probably complain bitterly about the station being changed.

Yes for awhile I was worried he was sick and took him to vet to get checked out just in case something was broken. $70 and half an hour later I get the results back that he's perfectly fine, just bone lazy and about as useless as a rock.
If there was a mouse in the house he'd probably let it sleep next to him.
