Casual Articles - Connecting the Past and the Present: Healing Abandonment and Abuse Through Awareness
The brightness of the glittering Twin Towers of Malaysia, the one time tallest buildings of the world is telling many success stories of Malaysia how it has been transformed into one of the Asia’s wealthiest nations.The serene beauty of the sky-high towers with a celestial background of shining stars in a clear dark night in the far distance, propelled my thoughts back into the good old Malaysia where, while Dr. Mahathir Mohamad was criticising the western capitalism, how cleverly he applied t

Do the same for your father.

There are two factors at work in a prospect's subconscious mind when he's considering doing business with you: confidence and risk. Your job in advertising is to raise confidence and lower risk. If you successfully do that, you'll sew up all the business. So let's talk first about confidence. The problem is that in today's marketplace, people are more jaded, skeptical, and weary. Weary of getting ripped off. Jaded from bad service. Skeptical of offers that sound too good to be true. In short, people
It has become a clich? to talk about “dysfunctional” relationships and families, but most people do not have perfect families, and many have had to struggle with a range of problems—alcoholism, abuse—physical, sexual, or emotional, eating disorders, and depression, to name a few. No one likes to be reminded of the past but when it keeps coming up, we are pushed to learn new responses as we search for more peace and positivity in our lives.
The past is not dead—it’s not even past. -William Faulkner
Different kinds of abandonment
For people who have been abandoned, either literally by actual physical absence, or emotionally—a parent can be in the home and not there for us—the abandoned child syndrome may remain years later, showing up through insecurities and fears, clinging behaviors or its opposite—walls to intimacy. The abandoned child inside the adult can create havoc such as alcohol abuse, repeating their own abandonment by abandoning children, or refusal to have children out of fear of repetition. Depression, lack of energy and creativity, anger, and trying to fill up the emptiness may be manifestations of these issues.
When the abandoned child is feeling its pain and loss, the rest of the adult person is unable to find emotional balance. New skills are needed to help sort out the confusion, and to create new, healthier patterns. Part of the healing may include grieving and anger, as those repressed feelings are released. But it is equally important to look at strengths: how well you are doing and what you want to contribute to the world as well as the positive side of parents and caretakers. Most people do the best they can.
Healing is a process of peeling the onion, so to speak. Revealing one layer after another, with time for rest and integration, leads to inner peace, resolution, and forgiveness.
Here are some suggestions:
1. Write about parallels between the past and the present. Become more aware of old patterns finding their way into your current life.
2. List all the ways you feel you were abandoned. Don’t worry if the list doesn’t make logical sense or is too long or short. Just write what you feel and remember.
3. Look at photographs of you and your family from those time periods as a way to help you remember details. Becoming more aware of the past can help you sort issues in the present.

Just what does a cow, cash, and internet marketing have in common? Maybe there are a lot more similarities to raising and caring for a cow to your internet marketing business than you thought. Read on to find out . . .I'll admit it, I was a farm boy, born and raised. Got a lot out of it and got out of it a lot. One thing I learned a lot about was milking.

There are many people on this earth who claim that they want to work from home. They make the claim, but have no idea what it really entails. Remember, when you work from home, you still have to WORK. Working from home isn't some sort of license to just sit around in your underwear and have money delivered to you, although it seems as if many people think that’s exactly what working from home means. Please, before you consider the prospect of working from home, consider the five items listed belo

Classified advertising is a form of advertising that is particularly common in newspapers and other periodicals. A classified is usually textually based and can consist of as little as the type of item being sold, and a contact number to call for more information. It can also have much more detail, such as name to contact, address to contact or visit, a detailed description of the product or products. There are generally no pictures or other graphics within the advertisement, although sometimes a log
