Something I was totally unequipped for before becoming happily married: understanding the natural differences of men and women in libido. For women, libido so much depends on hormonal cycles, and she becomes most sexually interested during the times she is most fertile. Man, on the other hand, is far more "ready" and consistent. In and out of season, he is open to his wife. Therefore, men must learn to live in natural respect and patience with this difference and not take it personally. Women are beautiful creatures and God's gift to man - the perfect companion. Practice self-control and live with your wife in an understanding way. #Biblestr #Psychology #Christian #Marriage #MasculineFrame

One of the most replicatable phenomenons in the discipline of #psychology is the undeniable effectiveness of prolonged exposure therapy, coming out of the behaviour sciences. If you have conditioned avoidance to a stimulus based on a bad experience with it, the only cure to that fear and subsequent avoidance is a progressive safe re-exposure to that thing again to re-train your brain with a positively different association. This cure applies to developed fear of: • Environments • People • Food • Animals • + more Your mind will tell you to avoid exposure, but if you know better life is on the other side of this barrier, you must cognitively distance from this thought, buckle up, and do what matters. The alternative is watching a better life go by the wayside - your mind will point it out to you, too. In this way, avoiding pain creates a pain feedback loop. ~~~~~ Fascinatingly, we also have pre-conditioned aversion to some things such as spiders, some would-be foods, and snakes. It's not all tabula rasa in the human brain. Some of our responses are innate and usually very beneficial for our survival.

Since I work from home from a computer, Saturday's tasks of cooking, tidying, washing, mowing lawns, and fixing things are a welcome relief. Has anyone else read that physical leisure has high quality of life returns for office workers? Likewise the opposite is true: a man who works hard physically finds it most restful and streas-relievinf to read, study, or otherwise engage his mind as a hobby during his off-hours. T.S. Elliot opined: "variety is the spice of life." #Psychology

Avoidance pays off short-term. It is a pathway to misery and regret. Pursuit, even if it hurts, will yield the outcomes you hope avoidance will bring. Pick your pain

Have you guys seen the new firmware update for the worldcoin orbs? Pretty cool.

Guys, I've been meaning to write this for a bit but I'm coming out as a worldcoiner. The klaus schwaub orbs are just to cool and I love centralization, with so many historical examples of central planning ending in utopia. I don't use my freedom for good anyway and now the WEF in their prophetic wisdom can save the world and look after me too.

Remember, O man, that you are dust, and to dust you will return.

Y'all need more of this in your life.

Do you think that you can think your way out of dysfunctional thinking (anxiety/depressive thought disorders et. al)? 🧠💭 Many people do. ❌ If your thinker is what's broken, thinking it through or even speaking out your thoughts out to a good listener alone won't be enough. Despite popular expectations, your typical therapist who primarily validates and affirms as treatment methods is simply parasitic. They are reinforcing behaviours and thought patterns that produce misery. This approach is lucrative and makes customers for life, but it is sick and hateful. Coming from a therapy insider, if you sincerely want to see positive change in your mental health you need to: • Observe your thoughts as process and assess them flexibly by their helpfulness. Cling to the thoughts that help. Dismiss the merit of, but accept the presence of unhelpful thoughts. You cant change thoughts by wrestling with them. You will probably just amplify them by struggling. • Get out and action behaviours that improve your mood such as getting sunlight, seeing loved ones, lifting weights, kissing your wife, doing what matters. Discover what matters to you, and make daily time for that stuff. • Eat better and master yourself. Get to bed and wake up responsibly; do something meaningful with your life. Stop wasting the day away. Life is short, make it count. 🤙

Don't dismiss the legitimate use of a thing simply because it's commonly misused.
