America The Beautiful; Part II
Thursday May 12, 2022 by Christopher Jordan

An Abe Lincoln quote I picked out of Adam Goodheart’s book, 1861: “I consider the central idea pervading this struggle is the necessity that is upon us, of proving that popular government is not an absurdity. We must settle this question now, whether in a free government the minority have the right to break up …Read More

Burnout
Thursday January 27, 2022 by Christopher Jordan

While “Burnout” is not a new concept, it is a real phenomenon. As in most conditions, it is best to avoid it rather than recover from it.

America The Beautiful
Monday March 29, 2021 by Christopher Jordan

Our mental health is strongly tied to our feelings about ourselves. How we define ourselves can be quite complex. Part of our identity is associated with the context in which we see ourselves. Some of us may find strength in a strong group identity. There may also be comfort there. The size and composition of …Read More

RENEWAL
Wednesday February 10, 2021 by Christopher Jordan

There are occurrences in our lives that can provide for us an opportunity for a “Second Chance,” a “Do Over.” There are times that when we are dissatisfied with an outcome or our current state, we can reset, we can try another way.

“What Have You Done For Yourself Lately?”
Sunday July 19, 2020 by Christopher Jordan

I think, as adults, we all realize that we are responsible for ourselves, ultimately. Everything that we experience will have a component of our own contribution, or lack there of. In all circumstances of our lives it is imperative that we pay attention to where we can be the primary influence of our experiences or …Read More

“Come on People Now…”
Thursday June 18, 2020 by Christopher Jordan

Bridging the gaps within humanity needs to be our primary goal.  Allowing the co-existence of diverse ideologies must be our greatest concern.  The way is clear.  Look for the common threads.  Focus on where we can meet.  We must purge ourselves of hate and fill ourselves with love.  Stop the language of condemnation, use only …Read More

Wearing Face Protection
Friday May 29, 2020 by Christopher Jordan

An exert from a recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine included: “We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained …Read More

“Imagine”
Sunday May 17, 2020 by Christopher Jordan

Our feelings influence the functions of our nervous and endocrine systems. Our thoughts influence our feelings. Since our nervous and endocrine systems control all of our bodily functions, how we feel is important to assess and manage as it will have a direct effect on our health. If that seems like a big responsibility, that’s …Read More
