Stop Stressing - Don\'t Look Back
Author: Larry Tobin
Abstract:
The past can be a problematic albatross to carry around. We'll forget where we left our keys 20 minutes ago, but ask us to remember an embarrassing moment from our childhood and it will come to mind like a flash. For some reason, we seem incredibly predisposed toward reminiscing over troubling events. We replay and replay them in our minds until we can't focus on anything else but feeling mortified and wondering if we made the right decision.

Author: Lisa Bloom

Researchers have discovered that the average person thinks anywhere between 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts per day.

Author: Kurt Mortensen
Abstract:
Expectation is literally a self-fulfilling prophecy. We do this consciously and subconsciously. Remember the kid in grade school who was always really rowdy and disruptive? Sometimes if people already assume they are perceived a certain way, then that is indeed exactly how they will act, even if they don't mean to. The rowdy kid in grade school knew everyone perceived him as disruptive and so he was. The teacher expected bad behavior and the expectations were fulfilled.
