Dr. John Grohol - From the Depression category:
There are two dangers in choosing a friend for support rather than a psychologist. I call them the container effect and the birds of a feather effect. (Dr. John Grohol)
Dr. John Grohol - From the Fear category:
Fear of missing out (FOMO) is a very real feeling that's starting to permeate through our social relationships. The question is - will we ever settle for what we have, rather than cling to the fear that we may be missing out on something better? Social media like Facebook and Twitter are making this increasingly more difficult. (Dr. John Grohol)
Dr. John Grohol - From the Guilt category:
It's amazing how quickly guilt can kick in for the smallest, most meaningless things in our lives... Guilt is one of those emotions that we feel is telling us something important. Be aware that not every emotion, and certainly not every guilty feeling, is a rational one that has a purpose. (Dr. John Grohol)
Dr. John Grohol - From the Happiness category:
Happiness is one of those concepts we all seem to love to learn more about, but we are unwilling to take any big steps to increase it in our own lives. What scientific research into happiness has shown us is that it can be increased in many different ways - but you won't find the answer from a pill. (Dr. John Grohol)
Dr. John Grohol - From the Perfection category:
Perfection doesn't exist in anyone. Striving for perfection in any part of our lives is a recipe for failure, since it can never be attained. (Dr. John Grohol)
Dr. John Grohol - From the Quotations category:
But sometimes motivational quotes are really no more than a bunch of words strung together that sound good - but steer you wrong. (Dr. John Grohol)
Dr. John Grohol - From the Technology category:
It's not 'interruption,' it's connection. But wait a minute... it's not really 'connection' either. It's the potential for simply a different connection. It may be better, it may be worse - we just don't know until we check. (Dr. John Grohol)
Dr. John Grohol - From the Thinking category:
Repetitive thinking errors are a major block to learning. When a person's method of assimilating information is faulty, he continues to believe and act on faulty assumptions. We might refer to this as 'selective focus' nowadays - the ability to focus only on the theories and facts that fit one's perspective. (Dr. John Grohol)
