“Fight or Flight”

Tuesday, 25 May 2010
I have been a fan of Kung-fu flicks, horror films and high-action packed thrillers. Action inspires us, ‘kicking the anti-hero’ draws us … “danger feels great!” It seems to be the new christening. But this past weekend I came close to acting my own real life thriller; “Fight or Flight” was the question … still dogs me even now….

This past weekend a follower of my posts asked me, “How do you ignite creativity in your mind?” Yep, we are all familiar with this one. Even great writers and ‘creatives’ sometimes battle with it. There is no true formula I guess, but I will give you a head-start.

Many years ago I was fortunate to come across a Hollywood magazine. Not many of them used to find their way into the townships. [Laughs] If you happened to get one it would usually be four months stale. Now that I think over it, I am not even sure of the name of the magazine. But I still have a mental recollection of one particular read.

Tantrums and behavior problems in young children
Columns - Psychology for me
Louise Malan (Clinical Psychologist)   
Wednesday, 12 May 2010
Behaviour problems at home or at school are often reason for concern in young children.  These children are often described as delightful at times and at other times they turn into little monsters.  As parents and caregivers of these children it is important that we think about the causes and meanings of these intense and uncontrollable emotional states that children experience at times.  Young children do not have the ability to think about and understand the meaning of their emotional states.   Parents need to survive the young child’s emotions without the parent becoming as overwhelmed and destructive as the child.  Parents and caregivers also need to think about the meaning and causes of the child’s behaviour.  Cathy Urwin wrote a lovely article (“Where the wild things are”) about this.

Tuesday, 11 May 2010
So this past week my mind drifted towards ‘thoughts’ –‘ideas’ to be more precise. How can a simple ‘thought’ make a big difference in the world? I discovered that a simple change of thought or perspective towards your surroundings can make an enormous difference. Needless to say all of the great civilizations came about because a few men dared to ‘think’ – a simple behaviour we are all familiar with. And they acted on their ‘ideas’.

This week just thought of talking about the things that hold us back. Did I say fear? Someone once said we can only go as far as we dream. And we can. Still most of us are trapped in invisible walls –our fears!

One of our Big 5, a tourist attraction, being slaughtered for profit. You would think conservation agencies would give a damn. Think again.

“I would like to wholeheartedly thank the Port Elizabeth website for launching such a fantastic "Local" website. So many Radio Stations, Businesses etc. Claim that they support Local, but really do not, and for once, here is a site that really promotes our beautiful city. I have lived in Jozi & Cape Town, and always return to my favorite "Lil 'ol PE" No place on earth has the homely feeling of our City. Thanx Folks, well done !”
