    What is the Calendar Phenomenon?

    Can someone explain it to me please? I'm reading Skizzik's post in Day 26 of the Structured Education program and he mentions it twice.

    Day 22 What part of the program is most helpful?

    Day 9 Being Overly Critical

    I think I have been overly critical of myself lately - but not just lately, for a long time. The way I do this is by telling myself I'm not good enough at things (guitar, skateboarding, film-making) and telling myself I haven't spent enough time practicing these things or haven't organized my...

    Day 8 Emotions

    Thanks Ellen! That's really great information about the difference between repression/suppression! I actually read something in John Sarno's book The Divided Mind the other day that had me thinking about this and really influenced what I wrote about anger . On page 112 he talks about someone...
