Show Every1Counts POSITIVE ADDICTIONS By Cynthia Kimball Humphreys I heard about positive addictions recently. I did some research and it looks like Dr. William Glasser is the father of positive addiction. This was the first time I heard those words used together. But, it not only makes sense; it got me thinking. And, from what I understand, positive addictions are not only good things, but there are plenty of them. This is great news. Especially right now during a depressed economy. Positive addictions could include doing service for others. Or saying affirmations. Mastering a skill. Or even visualizing. It could be making a difference in the life of others. Actually, there are thousands, maybe more. So, what are your positive addictions? One of mine is writing. I also like to help people. So, I put the two together and it’s been good and healthy not only for me, but for some others based on feedback I’ve received. The more we master our positive addictions the better and stronger they become. Yet, as with all things, I’d like to mention moderation. I think that goes for anything we do. For example, exercise can be a positive addiction, but as in my case, when I lived on a military post in Japan a few years back, I worked out in a military gym for three hours a day six days a week! No, I wasn’t an Olympic athlete; I just wanted to be in shape. I look back at the time and wonder how many people I could have been there for instead of being in the gym. Now, please don’t get me wrong. Exercise is good. So is moderation. Just keep that in mind. Positive addictions can become a skill. Like writing or complimenting or even saying thank you. They can become like brushing our teeth or second nature where we do them without thinking. Work to make your positive addictions stronger. Work to make them habit. Don’t let the world or some negative comment or look detract you from mastering them. After all, sometimes comments or looks weren’t even intended the way we took them. Sometimes we make them into mountains when they were merely molehills. According to the Clayton Tucker-Ladd & SelfHelp Foundation William Glasser, M.D.’s positive addiction philosophy, “… Page 3 The Garfield County Insider July 2, 2009 isn’t an easy solution nor is it for everybody. It takes six months to a year of activity (jogging, meditating, etc.) one hour every day to develop a strength-giving addiction. The activity must usually be done alone, with no demands or striving for excellence or self-criticism. There are thousands of joggers, bikers, meditators, relaxers, journal writers, exercisers, and other users of positive addictions, along with Glasser, who claim great benefits. They claim to get more results than just feeling better and getting pleasure; they claim greater self-confidence, more energy, better imagination and ideas, more frustration tolerance and so on,” (2007). We’ve probably all engaged in some form of positive addiction or another unknowingly. Positive addiction has been, well, for me, a positive experience. If it works for you, great. If not, please, at least promise me, you won’t engage in any negative addiction. If you have a choice, and you do, choose positive over negative any day. Even today.

PONDERABLE QUESTIONS 1) Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? 2) Why is it, when a door is open it’s ajar, but when a jar is open, it’s not adoor? 3) Ever wonder what you call a pocket calculator in a nudist camp? 4) Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do . . . write to these men? Why don’t they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they delivered the mail? 5) If a cow laughed real hard, would milk come out her nose? 6) If you’re in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? 7) Why isn’t “palindrome” spelled the same way backwards? 8) What happens if you get scared half-to-death twice? 9) Why is it called a “building” when it is already built? 10) What is another word for “thesaurus”? 11) Why is the word “abbreviate” so long? 12) Does the Little Mermaid wear an algebra? 13) Why is it when two planes almost hit each other it is called a “near miss”? Shouldn’t it be called a “near hit”? 14) Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car is not called a racist? 15) If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?
