Notice: Function amp_is_available was called incorrectly. `amp_is_available()` (or `amp_is_request()`, formerly `is_amp_endpoint()`) was called too early and so it will not work properly. WordPress is not currently doing any hook. Calling this function before the `wp` action means it will not have access to `WP_Query` and the queried object to determine if it is an AMP response, thus neither the `amp_skip_post()` filter nor the AMP enabled toggle will be considered. The function was called too early (before the plugins_loaded action) to determine the plugin source. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Comments on: Being Out of Control is a Good Thing https://thoughtsfromparis.com/thoughts/being-out-of-control-is-a-good-thing/ Humor blogger D.J. Paris writes about the most interesting subject in the world - himself. It's worth a look if you're cool. And you are! Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:30:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Jess https://thoughtsfromparis.com/thoughts/being-out-of-control-is-a-good-thing/#comment-17794 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 11:27:46 +0000 https://thoughtsfromparis.com/?p=6000#comment-17794 I’ve relegated my OCD to the mugs. The handles must be on the right side, mugs right side up and they must be rotated so they all get fair and equal use. I blame that last one on my days in retail spent facing, blocking and rotating stock. It’s really hard sometimes to not let my control issues spill over into other areas of my life but I swallow it and feed it with Cheetos until the urges die.

My roommate learned very quickly not to fuck with the mugs because that kind of ass fuckery is not funny. Consequences are swift and fit the crime.

It’s not easy admitting to being a control freak. You are courageous. It’s so easy for me to see it in others and not in myself. What is helping me is the Serenity Prayer.: God Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. I find myself running away a lot. If a situation isn’t perfect, I leave. This is really immature. I need to stick it out and accept it. Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today! Simple but powerful!

To me, this is a benefit of your independent lifestyle You have plenty of time (and room) to become more self-aware, and to work on the things that you need to work on.

I’m Christian Life Coach . I am also a totally ‘highly sensitive person.” This is both a blessing and a curse. On the upside, I am VERY in tuned to my clients’ needs and am able to work very effectively to help them move forward towards their goals. On the downside, I, am currently in a coffee shop where the music is driving me crazy (just as you described)! I’m learning that one doesn’t come without the other. Being highly sensitive is a packaged deal…it comes with the great and the annoying. I’m learning to embrace it all! Sometimes, I cater to myself. Sometimes I stretch myself for the benefit of those around me. I look to strike that middle ground of balance. It’s an interesting journey, but a worthwhile one! Happy travels on your way, friend!

Ask any new parents.

No self-respecting homey who takes his folks into a restaurant should be beaten over the head with loud hip-hop and ‘pop a cap in a cop’s ass’ lyrics, lessin there’s a big sign outside shouting ‘We play LOUD music in here motherfucker with FUCKING OFFENSIVE lyrics, OKAY!’. There’s gettin in touch with your femine side, then there’s taking it up the gravy boat, man. But I get the party thing totally. And the person who invented Karaoke should be staked out over an ant’s nest and smeared with high-grade manuka honey.

it is hard to let go of that feeling of control…..i still am trying to get a handle on it
