I changed my mind regarding watching television shows and playing video games. If they bring joy into your life and help you to alleviate your stress and anxiety, go ahead and consume them in moderation to get that boost of energy that you need to keep working on your dream life. I hardly ever play video games and rarely watch television programs. I don't have any video games on my computer, nor do I have a game console at home. About five years ago, I deleted any video game from my smart phone. This all changed this past Saturday January 25, 2020 when my 9-year-old second cousin E showed me how much he loves the video game "The Battle Cats"...
Why be in the thick of craziness, stressed by busyness and a wide range of people and their demands when you can find a way to create greater success within yourself and among a few nurturing people. Your quality of life is the most important. You can choose your path of purpose and define your success. You can reinvent yourself and stack new skills, knowledge, and relationships on top of your existing ones. You can create value for others by yourself or with a few positive people.

None of us can predict when and how we will die. If you can fully embrace the unpredictability of your death, you will truly live in the present and appreciate every moment before you now. - +positive masters+, Jon Riki Karamatsu, 1/20/2020 - On Thursday, January 17, 2020, my mom called my cell phone.

My younger sister Mia is a trauma care doctor, a partner of a group of medical doctors at California Pacific Medical Center at San Francisco, California. "Oh man, I'm so happy! I'm so happy for her! This is awesome!" My voiced cracked with joyful laughter. My mom continued, "Earlier, I heard dad cheer, 'Wohoo!'...
Cognitive Distortions - Part 2When something bad happens to you, don't conclude that it'll happen to you over and over again. This is what mental health professionals call "overgeneralization." Stay positive!For example, you break up with someone and you believe that no one will ever love you.

Cognitive Distortions - Part 1 Don't have an all or nothing thinking. Stay positive! The following are a couple of examples of an all or nothing mindset: "I didn't get accepted into the university that I wanted so I'm a failure" or "I lost my election because people don't like me."

If you force your experiences into absolute categories, you'll always be depressed because whatever you do will never measure up to your exaggerated expectations.
