MY-tunes


101 Recovery Spots from Dr. Abraham A. Low - great mental health tips.

  • "I can not" means "I care not".
  • All I know is that I don't know.
  • Angry temper is temper turned outward toward another.
  • Anticipation of an event is usually worse than the realization of that event.
  • Approval of others is a want, not a need.
  • Avoid self importance. Others don't sit around and think about what I did or said.
  • Be group minded.
  • Be self led, not symptom lead.
  • Calm begets calm, temper begets temper.
  • Change your thoughts and impulses and your feeling and sensations will follow suit.
  • Choose peace over power. Don't go for the "symbolic victory"! (See, I told you so.)
  • Choose to hope rather than "gloom, doom and despair."
  • Comfort is a want, not a need.
  • Comparison temper is a form of fear temper.
  • Decide, plan and act.
  • Discomfort can be patiently borne, bravely faced and humbly tolerated.
  • Don't blame, complain or explain.
  • Don't give outer expression to my inner envirornment when temper is involved.
  • Don't let the trivialities of everyday life work me up.
  • Don't take your own dear selves too seriously.
  • Drop the danger, diagnosing and judgement.
  • Drop the excessive need to control outer environment.
  • Drop the judgement on others and myself.
  • Drop the need to be exceptional.
  • Drop the use of tempermental lingo.
  • Drop the vanity of always knowing better and best.
  • ENDORSE for the effort, not the outcome.
  • Endorse like an ever flowing river...
  • Every measure of self control, brings a measure of self respect.
  • Everyday is full of frustration and disappointment. That's average.
  • Everyone is entitled to their initial flare, (reaction). Like when a dog jumps out of a bush.
  • Excuse yourself and others, don't accuse.
  • Failure to practice spotting is Sabatoge and so is failure to practice muscle control.
  • Fear is a belief and beliefs can be changed.
  • Fearful temper is temper turned inward, toward ourselves: self disgust, embarrasment...
  • Feelings are NOT facts.
  • Feelings call for expression, temper for suppression.
  • Feelings rise and feelings fall.
  • Feelings should be expressed and temper suppressed.
  • Focus on what you Can do, Do have and Do know, not the opposite.
  • Get out of duality. A firm decision will steady you.
  • Go about my mental health with a strong aim, not a lose wish.
  • Have I endorsed today?
  • Have the courage to be wrong in the trivialities of everyday life.
  • Have the courage to make a mistake.
  • Have the will to "humility".
  • Helplessness is not hopelessness. There is no hopeless case.
  • Humor is our best friend, temper our worst enemy.
  • I can act my way into right thinking. (Action produces motivation.)
  • I can always share my feelings with an understanding party, without using "tempermental lingo".
  • I can bear discomfort and do hard things.
  • I can command my muscles to move.
  • I can control my speech muscles.
  • I can do the things I fear and hate to do.
  • I can do things in part acts, (baby steps) and then endorse for each act.
  • I can feel guilty without being guilty.
  • I can move my muscles as needed. Then endorse.
  • I cannot control outer environment, only my inner environment.
  • I don't need to be a saint, hero or angel.
  • I have choices. (agency)
  • If you can't change an event, change your attitude towards it.
  • Interpret securely, don't exaggerate insecurely.
  • It's okay to be average.
  • Lower your expections and your performance will rise.
  • Mistakes are a healthy and valuable part of life.
  • Most symptoms are NOT dangerous, only distressing.
  • Nervous people have a passion for self distrust.
  • NEVER INDICT, ONLY ENDORSE!
  • Objectivity terminates panic.
  • Our feelings and thoughts can lie to us.
  • Our self worth does not depend on our performance.
  • Outer environment can be rude, crude and indifferent.
  • Peace from outer environment is temporary and isn't really peace.
  • People do things that annoy us, not to annoy us.
  • Refuse to sacrifice inner peace for trivialities.

  • Thoughts produce symptoms & thoughts let them go.
  • To be simple is to be great.
  • Treat your mental health like a business, not a game.
  • Trust in your own validity.
  • Unrealistic expectations bring disappointment.
  • We feel better in proportion to the amount of discomfort we are willing to bear.
  • We want to be exceptional, but fear we aren't even average.
  • Wear the mask.
  • When we express ourselves in temper we end up with self disgust.
