Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality. ~John W. Gardner

In my last article I explored the psychology of self-pity. In this article, we’ll delve into 13 of the best ways to nip your moping in the bud.

Just to recap, self-pity is defined by:

• An inability to accept a situation or circumstance in your life.
• Cogitating over your issues and troubles constantly.
• Dejectedness, gloominess and depression.
• The feeling that you’re a victim of something or someone (e.g. the “persecution complex”).
• The unexpressed thirst for the sympathy and affection of others.

As the struggle for GMO labeling rages on, app developers are taking matters into their own hands. By creating apps that allow consumers to determine exactly what is in the products that they buy, these developers are giving you total freedom of choice. These apps all have multiple features for identifying different types of ingredients, which means installing a combination of apps will keep you better informed. These ten apps all identify GMO products, among other ingredients, so you can control exactly what you choose to have in your  diet.

• Non-GMO Project Shopping Guide – As it says on the can, this app provides consumers with a guide to shopping non-GMO. The Non-GMO Project’s Product Verification Program is a collaboration of a number of corporations whose aim is to help consumers make more informed choices in their purchases. The guide is completely free and is periodically updated with new contributions.

Excessive worry can interfere with sleep and inhibit your ability to perform daily tasks and activities. Find out what you can do to minimize your fears.

Fear is a negative emotion, unless you’re facing an actual threat and need to fight or flee. And the usefulness of fear is minimal in daily life, particularly in the form of anxiety. Stressful events can produce short-term anxiety in almost everyone, which disappears after the event. But for an estimated 6.8 million Americans with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), anxiety is a chronic condition they can’t shut off. All of us know people we accept as “born worriers,” but their reality is much more debilitating than that title describes. Being in a state of chronic anxiety can severely limit their daily activity.

You probably know already if you worry excessively. In fact, if you have chronic anxiety, even the smallest thing can trigger it. You find yourself with fearful thoughts about finances, family, your health, and what’s happening at work. Some days you’d rather hide under the covers.

The global food supply is heavily tainted. Even hothouse organics don’t ensure sufficient nutrition, due to the loss of nutrients in our soil and pollutants from our air, rain and water supplies. On top of this, we must consider the daily overload from toxic pesticides, geoengineering particulates, GMO toxins and other pollutants.

So how can we provide our bodies with the nutrition our cells require, while supporting our body’s natural detox processes at the same time?

A scientific development by Dr. Michael Kiriac (Ph.D, ND) from The Moldova Academy of Sciences may offer a solution in the form of four different naturally occurring micro-algae.

The body is equipped with natural self-repair mechanisms that can be flipped on or off with thoughts, beliefs, and feelings that originate in the mind. This is great news, because it means, in essence, that you can heal yourself. But how?

One of the many simple ways you can flip on your body’s self-repair mechanisms is via meditation.

What Does It Mean To Meditate?

Dictionary.com defines meditation as “continued or extended thought; reflection; contemplation,” but I prefer Harvard professor Dr. Herbert Benson’s definition. He defines it as “Repetition of a word, sound, phrase, prayer, or muscular activity while passively disregarding everyday thoughts that inevitably come to mind and returning to your repetition.” With this definition of meditation, anything can be a meditation – not just sitting with your eyes closed in the lotus position, but walking, making art, cooking, shopping, dancing, driving… whatever.

Acceptance is such a vital tool in your enlightenment process. It is through acceptance that you see the divinity in all that occurs. Acceptance allows you to demonstrate your complete faith in the universe. When you are accepting, you are effortlessly aligned with the flow of abundance, ready to move and receive whenever the timing is perfect. But more than anything else, acceptance brings peace with yourself, and with others. You will save yourself much discomfort, indeed, if you start to utilize the power of acceptance to create profound and lasting change in your life. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

No matter how many years ago in Earth time, you may find yourself yearning for parts of your life’s past with all your heart. Alternately, there are other parts of your life that you would undo from the face of the Earth if you could. To make such choices would not be so simple as you may think it is.

Sure, you would keep the nice and exclude the hurtful, yet, in terms of life on Earth, who would you be then? You couldn’t be you. You would be someone else. Who would you be if you weren’t who you turned out to be because of the accumulation of so many others in your life and the century you live in?

If you snipped out one part of your life, how would your life survive such surgery? If you stopped the death of your beloveds for your own sake, what might that mean for your loved ones? What about their lives and their evolution?

Yet you continue to play in this field of imagination year and after year, full knowing that you can’t undo or recast the past. Those dear to you cannot come back in their bodies, nor can you remove those, as you see it, who were blights. You can miss all you miss, and you can withdraw from those you might idly wish never were. You can change yourself, yet you cannot change the minute by minute blow-by-blow aspects of your past as you lived it.

You can change your perception. You can see from a wider vision now.
