Empathy Chameleon

Posted on April 3, 2023

Is it possible to feel someone’s position so fully, to step into it, that you take on the physical characteristics of the person, like a chameleon does?

Not only do you step into their shoes and feel what they are experiencing, but your body transforms and matches that persons symptoms and attributes.

Some babies and mothers can have this, while some women develop a synchronicity with friends or close coworkers. Teammates can be in a state of flow or in sync with one another.

So could a person develop illnesses, in sympathy with a close relationship? Would this be to either minimise the suffering (take some on board/reduce the original) or experience it for greater understanding? And can it be controlled? Can it be stopped before permanent damage is done.

Let me know in the comments, if this has ever happened to you.

Life Like A Holiday

Posted on April 2, 2023

You can plan a great holiday, or not. You could just go where the wind takes you. It could be lavish or frugal. You may never make the time to plan it out as you would like.

But the more you plan the key elements, the more you will enjoy it.

And I’m not sure you will feel differently as you know the holiday is soon coming to an end. You may try to cram it all in in the final days or just let it unfold as it comes. It’s your personal choice. Enjoy it throughout, either way.

Your Highest Desire

Posted on April 1, 2023

Your highest desire is changeable at any moment. Although it can go a long time being the same, it can change rapidly, and numerous times, depending on the situation.

It could be world peace usually. But it could quickly change to simply getting off of an amusement ride without being ill.

Sometimes it will change from wanting to learn or get along with others to wanting to win in a discussion. Be mindful of this often changing value. It guides you and acts as a filter to how you see the world and how you behave.

Ask Experts But Make Your Own Decisions

Posted on March 29, 2023

Experts know a lot about one thing. This is fantastic as they can give you depth on a subject. However, because of the time they’ve spent on one item, they will not be as aware of other subjects.

So understand what the expert has to say and encompass that into your own life. Just don’t let their potential myopia lead you astray.

Play Along

Posted on March 12, 2023

It can be easier to play along with people than to confront or challenge them. Depends what it is about. If it’s something minor, this can be for the best. But as things get progressively worse, you may want to call time on the storyline.

Knock On Effects

Posted on March 11, 2023

Few things happen in isolation. We may only see the initial impact but usually there are other unintended consequences. Many ripples spread from the point of impact. Look forward and consider what else may happen from that point.
