I specifically appreciate your point that "Just because the situation is comfortable for you, doesn't mean it's comfortable for everyone."<br /><br />As someone who deals with anxiety issues, I often realize, on a logical and rational level, that the thing or situation causing me anxiety isn't really dangerous, and "shouldn't" be a big deal. That doesn't change how I feel. Someone telling me, "There's nothing to worry about, everyone else is fine, you should be too" is not helpful. What is helpful is someone acknowledging and respecting how I feel, and asking what they can do to help, even if it doesn't make sense to them.

Simp...Thanks Karin for restating the simple things. Simplistic solutions are almost always the best. <br /><br />I use the HALT acronym for when I am feeling unpeaceful. Most always hungry, angry, lonely, tired are the causes of my discomfort and if I address those in myself I am able to remain peaceful.<br /><br />It is also helpful when dealing with others. I ask myself are they hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. I try to offer them what they need. I overthink things too much and I love reading your articles. They remind me simple is best.Tonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262737950752432240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342227093153401430.post-468494110839601722014-05-29T07:10:48.377-07:002014-05-29T07:10:48.377-07:00Water consumption: take your weight and divide tha...Water consumption: take your weight and divide that in half. Take Half your weight in oz. Example 90 pound kid needs 45 oz. of water.180 pound people need 90 oz of water , ect. The gallon rule is good, and I don't no how your supposed to varry it for elevation, but basically keep hydrated all day with filtered or boiled water if your system is not a hard core mountain body that likes fresh lol!.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342227093153401430.post-42068828063598941632014-05-29T05:18:22.222-07:002014-05-29T05:18:22.222-07:00Hurt people hurt people.

A dehydrated, sleep deprived stranger can cause a bother, and it is true that this type of situation can be resolved by a few kind hearted people with good vibes, some water and a pillow. The problems that are not mentioned here, like revenge violence or domestic violence are more likely to result in actual serious injuries. You assume the reader's intention is to create peace and safety. You are probably correct in this assumption as most perpetrators of violence are not going to be reading this. Some highly esteemed members of the community have histories of violence. So I'm not sure "community" in itself is a solve I hope you can find a way to address things like intentional and reciprocal threats to safety, bulling, and domestic violence in your next chapter. Thank you and keep up the good work Karin!Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021739282338048582noreply@blogger.com
