What Really Drives Your Life? Thoughts, Feeling… Or Wisdom?

Thoughts, Feeling, Wisdom - Michael MamasThe Huffington Post just published one of my latest articles. It begins:

“Einstein had a feeling. He sensed that all things were interconnected. It felt to him they were all coming from the same place. As he reflected upon this further, it made more and more sense to him. It became reasonable. Reason is that level of awareness that has one foot in abstract feeling and the other in concrete thought. Our ability to reason bridges our wise inner feelings with clear substantive thought. Einstein felt, then reasoned, then thought: How could all the laws of physics be brought together into perfect concert with one another? He reasoned that the only way this could be, is if they were all emerging from the same one thing. Finally, he articulated it as a concrete thought: there must be one thing that is the source of all things”…

When Your Relationships Feel Confining

Confining Relationships - Michael MamasHuffingtonPost.com just published another one of my new articles. It begins:

“Can a stranger be the best kind of friend? At first glance, it seems like a rather odd notion. How could anyone even think a stranger could be the best kind of friend? Perhaps it’s just a feeling that’s not really true. But why might one feel that way?

“What can be problematic with friends and loved ones is that the relationships come with a set of preconceived notions and expectations. It’s as if, through the years, you’ve been put into a box”…

Top 5 Psychodynamic Buzzwords for the Business Person

I just published a new article on LinkedIn. It begins:

“Psychodynamics is one of those fields of knowledge that can be illustrated with a handful of buzzwords. Witnessing how people behave in business proves the need to understand and apply some of these buzzwords. Buzzwords help us name what it is we’re experiencing and give us the ability to work with those experiences. The buzzwords help us take a step back and understand how we can improve upon our behavior. After all, admirable behavior is one of our strongest assets in the business world”…

Keys to Being Compassionate – The Strength of Vulnerability

I just posted a new article on Medium.com. It begins:

“Compassion is a place that dwells within all of us. To act compassionately is simply to feel into and speak from that place. Here we will address our resistances to this place within. We will also explore the nature of compassion, which enables us to feel it, within our own self. The more comfortable with that place we become, the more we are able to speak from it and thereby offer compassion to others. I invite you to rest into this place as you read these words”…

Are You Telling Me I’m Not OK?

Health Relationship with Guidance - Michael MamasHuffingtonPost.com just published one of my latest articles. It begins:

“We’ve all been there: hearing or reading about the latest popular diet (Paleo, vegan, Mediterranean, the list goes on and on) that claims to know just what, when, and how we should eat. At some point, I just feel like rebelling and eating whatever I want.

“Or perhaps it’s the latest self-help program, full of guidelines for affirmations, prescribed thought, behavior patterns, and so on. These self-help ‘experts’ seem to say, “This is how I live my life, and if you want to be self-improved, you should do this too.” These days, it seems like almost everybody is a coach, telling me how to live my life. I feel like they want to put me in a box just to remind me that I will never measure up and that I am not okay. Enough is enough, and too much has become way too much!”…
