Spiral into Control Funny T-shirts

"Spiraling into control" can refer to a situation where one is able to regain control or find a sense of stability after a period of instability or negative spiraling. This can involve regaining control of thoughts, emotions, or actions.

Here's a more detailed explanation of what "spiraling into control" might mean, along with some potential strategies:

Understanding "Spiraling Out of Control"

Negative Cycle: A "mental spiral" or "spiraling out of control" often refers to a situation where negative thoughts, emotions, or circumstances escalate and become overwhelming.

Loss of Control: This can lead to a feeling of being overwhelmed, unable to manage the situation, and potentially worsening the problem.

Mental Health: Such spirals can be linked to mental health issues like anxiety, depression, or stress.

Examples: This could involve a situation where a project becomes increasingly chaotic, a relationship spirals into conflict, or an individual's thoughts become increasingly negative.

"Spiraling Into Control"

Regaining Stability: "Spiraling into control" suggests the opposite: a process of regaining control, stability, and a sense of mastery over a situation.

Taking Action: It implies taking proactive steps to address the problem and move towards a more positive outcome.

Finding Solutions: This could involve identifying the root cause of the spiral, developing strategies to address it, and implementing them. Strategies for "Spiraling Into Control"

Mindfulness and Self-Awareness:

Practice Mindfulness: Pay attention to the present moment, your thoughts, and your emotions without judgment.

Recognize Triggers: Identify the situations, thoughts, or emotions that tend to trigger a spiral.

Challenge Negative Thoughts: Question the validity of negative thoughts and replace them with more realistic and positive ones. Taking Action:

Break Down Tasks: Divide large, overwhelming tasks into smaller, manageable steps.

Set Realistic Goals: Focus on achievable goals and celebrate small successes.

Seek Support: Talk to a friend, family member, or therapist about what you're experiencing. Self-Care:

Prioritize Rest: Ensure you're getting enough sleep and taking breaks when needed.
Engage in Activities You Enjoy:

Make time for hobbies and activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Practice Gratitude: Focus on the positive aspects of your life.

Seek Professional Help: If you are struggling to manage a spiral on your own, consider seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor.

Quotes Are Wind in the Sails

photo from HowZit Hong Kong



As I began my morning at the office, I always, without fail, add my earbuds and engage my ipod to listen to my daily batch of podcasts. One of my favorite is the 48 Days.net podcast with Dan Miller of Franklin Tn. I aways go away with something useful from the podcast. This year, I did not create a list of resolutions. Of course, I am immediately reminded of a quote, "fail to plan and plan to fail." I wondered as I listened to this podcast if I have programmed my year for less than its potential. Luckily as I continued to listen and he illustrates a story concerning sailing, he much like I, had assumed that sailing was relegated only by the direction of the wind; but NO, it is the knowledge of knowing the usage of the wind to go in ANY direction you require….powerful. So many good quotes that are worthless unless engaged. Hope you find some encouragement and spark in just a few of these quotes and incredible podcast.

the mechanics of rage

Reality is pretty simple. Understanding why and accepting it are far more complicated. In fact, its insane. Why should stupid people have more than me. Why did I waste time doing what "the right thing" seemed to be. On the streets, I would have been a ruthless warlord by now. And then they get to be arrogant about it too....really!!!"??

I will not be so sure to be disappointed should I lose the war with my darker side...when is it my time? How many more times do I have to be happy for everybody else. I say my time is overdue! I have no cheeks left to turn.

3 Reasons Zombies Always Win!

Zombie Death

Recently I had one of those nights of sleep that leaves you wondering all day awake. I had a zombie dream. I have never had one of those before now. They were everywhere. Zombies are hard to beat. True to a good action horror flick, there was some major zombie butt-kicking going on. But zombies are no easy opponent. They always win! Sure I was kicking, hitting, slapping, shooting and blowing up some zombies. In fact I was so good at it that I got too comfortable. In the beginning I was only around one other person and we were doing well keeping them away. By the end of the dream, after several good surprise attacks and victories; I found my self surrounded by women. They were all friendly like a cocktail party. I remember one of them licking my wrist while they all laughed. It kind of tickled and I was puzzled by her purpose. Then they all started and all changed into zombies at the same time. Needless-to-say, I didn't make it to the last bite. I fought but the scene faded to black. I don't think I made it. The alarm went off. SO I was ejected from the dream just as I died. I was hoping the next night would be of me as a zombie; but no such luck. No dreams. Zombies always win and here's why:

1) Zombies are persistent! There is no outrunning the zombies. In spite of walking 1 mph; they still manage to catch up with you running at full tilt. Besides, wherever you are going is where they already are. How do you beat that? There is something to be learned from this kind of persistence I suppose. Take a slow steady pace, no speeding!

2) Zombies are focused! There is no mistaking the purpose of zombies. They eat brains of living people. That's their only purpose. They don't want to dance, sing or be friends. They only want your brains. Its that single-mindedness that always sees them through to their goal. Of course, how does something dead digest something living? or why would something dead even need to eat? or why would something dead be living? Ok; it just the movies.

3) Zombies are dead! They have nothing to lose. You cant kill them completely. They always get back up; which is good for all of us to keep in mind. Move over Bob Dole; viagra has a new spokesman. OK; don't know where that came from and wont stop it from going away. The greatest villain is one that has nothing to lose. All the bargaining chips are nullified. You cant buy off a zombie, reason with a zombie or seduce a zombie…just blast 'em.

The Ugly Duck Is BACK!!!

bad duck


I have been floating on a distant pond of wonder and discovery with no words that I have shared outloud. How does a duck become a chicken? How does a duck become a lion? What does that mean for the rest of the world? When a duck's against the wall, he comes out blastin'!!!


Well they say if you stand still long enuf, your whole life comes back around. In the past months I have been reacquainted with old friends from high school. Since I updated my classmates.com site, I have, for whatever reason this month, heard from several folks. The good news is that they have all been folks I actually liked.


relaxing duck


Its easy to wonder where the time went and how everything got so spread apart. The part that is always inescapeble is "change." Isn't it always "you havent changed a bit" or youve changed so much! One might argue that the core never changes. One might argue that the eyes never lie. Well I dont know if either of those statements are ALWAYS true; in fact, I seriously doubt it. There are things behind my eyes that were never there before. There are lines in my face that were never there before. There are thoughts behind these smiles that I would have never conceived of before now. Am I the same...no. Do I look the same....no. Do I feel the same inside or out.......no. Time changes everything and everything changes. I say memories are the "perfect" of our lives. In the mirror of memories we dont argue with ourselves, we dont disagree about the course of action, we dont turn away in modesty or shyness...... In "memories" we did exactly what we ought to have done and the universe was behind us with its unswaying approval. I would rather fight monsters than memories; at least they bleed. But irregardless, lets have a brew and talk about it or better yet, not.

distracter duck


Well this ole duck has seen a few ponds in his day. I suspect he will see plenty more inspite of diving only in his private lake. The world is thirsty even with a full glass in its hand. The disconnect between what is and what must is always held at bay by an elbow. The beauty of being an ugly duckling is that noone sees you coming when its time to quack.
