Fear and Love Cannot Co-Exist

By nature, fear and love act in conflicting ways in our lives. Fear is restrictive, repressive and
limiting. Love is expressive, abundant and free-flowing. Fear contracts, love expands. Fear
retreats, love forges new pathways. Fear is closed off and stagnant, love is open and vibrant.
Because of the reflective nature of our universe, the mindset you most often hold will be
mirrored in your every experience and in every person you encounter.
When you live your life from a mindset of fear, you are bound to see that same quality of
stagnation and repression everywhere. Your opportunities will seem smaller or more restrictive
 (or even non-existent). The people you interact with daily will probably seem more reserved,
less generous, and less caring. Even your work will seem repressed, perhaps boring or
fulfilling; and your income may shrink in proportion too.

On the other hand, when you begin living your life from a mindset of love, everything around
you seems effusive and joyful. The people you meet seem warmer, kinder and jovial.
Opportunities come rushing forth to meet YOU, rather than you having to chase after them, and
your work will probably seem more fulfilling and enjoyable – not to mention more profitable.
Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to be highly spiritual or ―enlightened‖ to live from
love rather than fear. All it takes is a simple shift in mindset to create big changes in your outer
world.  Click Here For 22 Powerful Tools to Transform Your Fear Into Happiness, Peace and Inspiration

Introducing Neuroscience and Relationships

By John M Grohol PsyD

Well, as we say goodbye to another year, I have an early new year’s present for everyone — a new blog! I’m pleased to introduce Neuroscience and Relationships with Dr. Athena Staik.
Dr. Athena Staik has been studying the brain, the neuroscience of attachments, and cutting edge tools for accelerated success and human change for over 10 years. With a Ph.D. in marriage and family therapy, and an MA and BA in psychology, her work is influenced by a wide range of psychological models, with an emphasis on positive, strengths-based approaches.
“On this blog, I’d like to share some of the methods I use, principles, recent findings as it relates to the brain and healthy personal lives and relationships, how understanding how our brain and body are designed is an essential part of self healing processes, understanding self and others, and so on,” notes Dr. Staik.
“More specific topics are how to break free of reactive patterns, defensiveness, and other addictive patterns or compulsions, that erode intimacy, fun and passion — how to successfully break habits and free emotional blocks in general.”
Who couldn’t use a little help grounded in the latest science to better understand their partner and improve their romantic relationship? I’m on board and I hope you will be too in welcoming Athena to the Psych Central family! Please visit Neuroscience and Relationships today, she’s already blogging full steam ahead!

Dr. John Grohol is the CEO and founder of Psych Central. He has been writing about online behavior, mental health and psychology issues, and the intersection of technology and psychology since 1992.

Nature Reducing Stress?

Nature Reduces Anxiety and Sharpens Mental Skills

By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor
Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on May 26, 2010

The tonic of nature for relieving stress and helping to sharpen mental skills may have a scientific basis — research on mice discovers a natural bacterium reduces anxiety and improves mental abilities.
“Mycobacterium vaccae is a natural soil bacterium which people likely ingest or breathe in when they spend time in nature,” says Dorothy Matthews of The Sage Colleges in Troy, N.Y.
Previous research studies on M. vaccae showed that heat-killed bacteria injected into mice stimulated growth of some neurons in the brain that resulted in increased levels of serotonin and decreased anxiety.
“Since serotonin plays a role in learning we wondered if live M. vaccae could improve learning in mice,” says Matthews.
Matthews and Jenks fed live bacteria to mice and assessed their ability to navigate a maze compared to control mice that were not fed the bacteria.
“We found that mice that were fed live M. vaccae navigated the maze twice as fast and with less demonstrated anxiety behaviors as control mice,” says Matthews.
In a second experiment the bacteria were removed from the diet of the experimental mice and they were retested. While the mice ran the maze slower than they did when they were ingesting the bacteria, on average they were still faster than the controls.
A final test was given to the mice after three weeks’ rest. While the experimental mice continued to navigate the maze faster than the controls, the results were no longer statistically significant, suggesting the effect is temporary.
“This research suggests that M. vaccae may play a role in anxiety and learning in mammals,” says Matthews.
“It is interesting to speculate that creating learning environments in schools that include time in the outdoors where M. vaccae is present may decrease anxiety and improve the ability to learn new tasks.”

All That Stand Between You and Success is the Fear of Failure

by Mark Thomas Walters 

Are you the type of person who wins or loses most of the situations that you are involved in? If you feel that you have lost more times than you would have liked in the last year, you need to ask yourself how many times you did everything within your power to win. Most probably, you rarely do everything that you can to maximize your chances of success in the situations then you find yourself in. If that is the case, then you only have yourself to blame for not seeing the success that you desire.
So, what is the biggest thing that is currently holding you back from going all out and playing to win? Your answer is most likely the same as the answer given by the vast majority of people, or at least a variation on it, which is fear of failure. Ask yourself - How many times in your life have you bailed out of a situation, or sat back and been a spectator, just because failure was an unbearable option?
This fear is literally stealing opportunities from you. Opportunities will always continue to present themselves, but whilst you keep on holding back, you will never be able to fully seize them. Even a slight fear of failure is sufficient enough, as not giving everything you have puts you at a serious disadvantage.
Your fortune is sealed the moment that you submit to your fear of failure. By not even trying, how can you ever hope to win? The thing is, by getting involved, you nearly always have a chance of winning, even if it is a small one. You might be the underdog, but how many times have you seen the underdog beat the favorite before? Life is unpredictable, and the underdogs regularly have their days.
The often cited phrase "Aim for the moon, at least if you miss you will be among the stars" is more than just a cliche. Keep it mind always, because there is a lot of truth in it. By chasing the big opportunities that arise, you will be pushing yourself to be the best that you can possibly can be, and by doing that you will be in a better position in failing than you would in if you had done nothing at all. You might not always get exactly what you were aiming for, but the second and third prizes are often worthwhile.
Your self-confidence will improve by following this approach and so will the confidence that others have you in, as they will see you as being someone with a positive, can-do attitude, which is the type of attitude that others like to be around, and like to believe in. Whilst you should not be overly concerned with what others think of you, it is not something to be ignored either. By having support from others, you will have people to lean on and give you a boost the next time that you are aiming for the moon, and that little extra could be just what you need to see you get there.
