Why do people obsess over things ?

Posted on Monday, 11 June 2012 by Punjabi Articles

‘Why did she say this to me, how dare she insult me like this?’ My younger sister who is visiting from the US was busy complaining about a cousin who came to visit her. She was replaying a stressful conversation she had hours ago. Even the next day over dinner this conversation seemed to be the only topic of discussion.


Why do people obsess over things?

Different people obsess over things in different ways and for different reasons. Some people are more prone to stress than others and it shows in different ways in their behaviour.
Many times people want to get rid of a situation but due to a habitual thought pattern they are unable to do so and keep on replaying it.

Keep a time limit

If you are seeking support from friends in getting rid of your obsessive habit then set yourself a time limit. Decide on how much time you are willing to give this problem, on talking about it. Keep your focus on a solution. 

Expressive writing


This helps in breaking the habit pf stressing. Research has also shown that expressive writing was effective in reducing the symptoms of depression amongst those with a tendency towards 
brooding.

Change your behaviour

You can also change your feelings by changing your behaviour.

Take the ‘Fake it till you make it’ approach. Do this by making a few conscious choices to add some new stress management activities to your lives.

Getting regular exercise, practicing meditation and a few days in the week and indulging yourself in your favourite hobby, these are some of the techniques you can use to relieve stress.

Simple Relationship Truths We Often Forget

Posted on Wednesday, 4 April 2012 by Punjabi Articles

All successful relationships require some work. – They don’t just happen, or maintain themselves.  They exist and thrive when the parties involved take the risk of sharing.

Most of the time you get what you put in. – If you want love, give love. 

You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot in someone’s life. – Never force someone to make a space in their life for you.

There is a purpose for everyone you meet:- Some people will test you, some will use you, and some will teach you; but most importantly some will bring out the best in you. 

You are in full control of your own happiness. – If your relationship with yourself isn’t working, don’t expect your other relationships to be any different.  

Forgiving others helps YOU. – Forgiveness is not saying, “What you did to me is okay.” 

You can’t change people; they can only change themselves. – Instead of trying to change others, give them your support and lead by example.

Heated arguments are a waste of time. – The less time you spend arguing with the people who hurt you, the more time you’ll have to love the people who love you. 

You are better off without some people. – When you have to start compromising yourself and your morals for the people around you, it’s probably time to change the people around you. 

Small gestures of kindness go a long way. – Honor your important relationships in some way every chance you get.

Even the best relationships don’t last forever. – People don’t live forever.

Hang on to your sweat Studies have found that being sweaty helps attract lovers

Posted on Tuesday, 28 February 2012 by Punjabi Articles


MEN and women should hang on to their sweat so as to attract new lovers, and also to sustain the interest of their current ones, a new book has claimed. Although sweat is often linked with uncleanliness and leaves many of us left feeling embarrassed when it appears but according to scientists, a bit of sweat may not be a bad thing.

"Pheromones are what we call here in Germany Sexuallockstoffe, which work on men and on women alike," the Daily Mail quoted Gabriele Frobose, who co-authored the Royal Society of Chemistry book Lust and Love, Is it More Than Chemistry — with her husband, as saying.

"Those pheromones are included in the sweat. This is why some girls like to wear the T-shirts of their boyfriend and vice versa. When I was young my boyfriend and I changed T-shirts without thinking about what we were doing. I discovered recently that my 19-year-old son is now doing this with his girlfriend." "This is obviously because there is still some smell of your partner left in the clothes which you like."

According to the book, an example of the appeal of sweat to lovers was highlighted by Napoleon Bonaparte.
He once wrote to his wife Joséphine, while he was campaigning, and said: "Please don’t wash, will arrive in three days." "This confidential note was transferred by a messenger, and in this specific case, even historians do agree that Napoleon didn’t mean that Josephine shouldn’t do the laundry. He meant something else," Frobose said.

FEELING

Posted on Wednesday, 31 August 2011 by Punjabi Articles


The word was first used in the English language to describe the physical sensation of touch through either experience or perception. The word is also used to describe experiences, other than the physical sensation of touch, such as "a feeling of warmth".


 In psychology, the word is usually reserved for the conscious subjective experience of emotion. Phenomenology and heterophenomenology are philosophical approaches that provide some basis for knowledge of feelings. Many schools of psychotherapy depend on the therapist achieving some kind of understanding of the client's feelings, for which methodologies exist. Some theories of interpersonal relationships also have a role for shared feelings or understanding of another person's feelings.[citation needed]

Sensitive, sculpture by Miquel Blay (1910)

Perception of the physical world does not necessarily result in a universal reaction among receivers (see emotions), but varies depending on one's tendency to handle the situation, how the situation relates to the receiver's past experiences, and any number of other factors. Feelings are also known as a state of consciousness, such as that resulting from emotions, sentiments or desires.
