I have learned that Primal Therapy is beneficial for expressing and releasing emotional frustrations, rather than repressing them, and doing or saying certain things to people you may later regret. For example: Since I live alone in a wooded area with alot of animals, I growl, bark, groan, snort, hiss, hoot, whisle, screech, squeak, cluck, click, coo, caw, crawl, walk on all fours, etc. Tonight, it was very windy, and I put on an overcoat with long sleeves, and ran around in the woods flapping my arms like a bird, making bird sounds. I had alot on my mind, but before long, I started laughing at myself, and the way my cats were watching, and it felt great. I do this therapy mainly at night, before dawn, or when no one's around lol.

I've learned not to be judgmental about people.You know,shoot first and ask questions later.I treat everyone with the same respect i'm given but my kindness is NOT my weakness as some so unfortunately find out.As i have grown older and 'evolved' i finally got it that my mouth can be my worse enemy and that if i can keep it shut for the first 5 minutes in any conversation then more the better.I'm talking about relating better with people and it has helped me tremendously not only in my personal life but in the workforce.I still talk a mile a minute(i mean talk not type) the only difference these days is that i'm also listening.

Silly but true ... at least for me...
I have learned that the the hokey pokey was a fun game as a child that was teaching us something much more profound that we realized...
As an adult I must say I have learned to ... SHAKE IT OUT... Do the Hokey pokey and turn your self around .. and THAT'S WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT.... At any moment in your life you get to reflect and get the choice to change things around be it positive or negative it is a choice! Am doing the hokey pokey these days... turning things around... and I get to have fun while embracing these changes! YAY! |

I've learned many things through the years, No one is perfect and that's ok, and that you have to look with both eyes opened and not with your eyes covered while peeking through the cracks of your fingers.

People on the "good" side of things are still capable of being full of bitterness, ignorance and hate.
Extremists exist on both sides of every issue. If anything Bigotry is the true enemy. Ignorance can be fought with education and kindness. Fighting fire with fire just makes things worse. |

I've learned professionally everyone isn't what they seem. The same people who have a stern face and put on that mask of no emotions also have deep feelings and can be easily connected with if you try hard enough.
Also learned people aren't meant to live forever, and those who pass teach us something we wouldn't have learned without their absence. Losing my father to cancer was the most monumental change in my life, but I wouldn't be where I am if it didn't change me. |

I've learned that friendship is precious, and you can't share it with just anyone.
I've learned that it's easy for me to give respect, and just as easy for me to take it back I've learned that helping others as I was taught to do from childhood, is most rewarding, even more rewarding is I was taught to give without expecting or asking for anything in return I've learned that if you don't ever expect anything out of someone, they will never disappoint you. I've learned that there are many things in life that make me happy. Most are the very most simple things in life.
