Don't allow others to consume you. If they don't call, go to sleep. If they don't message you, put away your phone & have a good day. If they are distant and refuse to tell you what's wrong, go home and do something fun. You live for yourself first. They are secondary.
The 9 'clairs' are different types of intuitive ability - like a sixth sense.
Some refer to these as psychic abilities, others as intuition presenting itself using different senses.
Clairvoyance (clear seeing)
People with this intuitive ability often visualise images and pictures, possibly during sleep with vivid dreams, meditation or daydreaming with mental images or mini-movies.
Clairaudience (clear hearing)
People with this intuitive ability may hear voices or messages, songs, sounds, audio signals more than just inner dialogue.
Claircognizance (clear knowing)
Claircognizance is a sudden knowing of something to be true, like an instant insight or mental download.
Clairintellect (clear intellect)
Clairintellect is thoughts that can manifest as your intuition - epiphanies.
Clairempathy (clear emotion)
Clairempathy is sensing other people's emotions, thoughts or symptoms - and awareness of emotional energy.
Clairsentience (clear physical feeling)
Clairsentience is similar to Clairempathy, but more physical. It's actually feeling in your body that others are experiencing, like the pain or sensations of others.
Clairtangecy (clear touching)
Clairtangency is brought about by touch. Touching certain objects or people might conjure images, perceptions and insights about them.
Clairalience (clear smelling)
Clairalience is insight through the perception of smell, although not necessarily the actual smell of something.
Clairgustance (clear tasting)
Clairgustance is a strange one - sensing things through taste without having that physical source in your mouth.
At times when you’re sad, the answer isn’t always a cry or a conversation with a loved one. Sometimes...sometimes it’s just a glass of wine, your favourite scented candles, strawberry waffles, and a book of quotes from the Bhagavad Gita.
This particular bottle of white wine was something I came across at the NYE celebration this time and the person to bring it was my textbook arch nemesis from high school. The last lot of French vanilla candles were bought using my credit card reward points because after you spend 10,000 bucks, capitalism will reward you with 100. And as for the waffles, wait, let me take a bite.
Fucking delicious.
Made me moan the way the last guy I was with could not. And the quotes from the Gita! Want to go through some with me?
Information makes our mind fat, application makes it fit. Be mentally fit, not fat.
Don’t care so much for the desire that it doesn’t care for the desirer.
Information does not have to be new to be helpful - it just has to be timely.
These are mostly interpretations of the author of the verses from the Gita. Oh, did I mention that I ordered strawberry waffles with nutella ones? Because the combination is to die for. No, I am not satisfied by a little. I want more and I want to mix and match to suit my taste. Maybe that’s why I fail with people; I cannot mix and match people’s hearts, skills, and smiles.
When I was moving into this apartment, my first, I told you I can’t wait to buy wine glasses. How that would be so adult. I said I’d like to get two. And you told me at least get four. wouldn’t you want to entertain multiple friends at once?
You were just getting to know me then so you didn’t know that I didn’t do groups; that I was a one-on-one let’s see into each other souls and comfort each other as the world burns kind of person. Intense, yes. I am intense. And a lot of the times I am upset that people cannot deal with this intensity and leave or cannot match this intensity and I have to leave. But can I?
Am I not feeling so miserable and having such a hard time because I too have not learned how to deal with my intensity? Or the fluctuations in the same? From 100 to zero without a warning, no foretelling, no twitching of the eyebrow. Shouldn’t I, out of anyone else, out of everyone else, shouldn’t I first learn to manage my intensity? Yes, yes, yes. But how?
By doing this. By spending time by myself without the urge to reach out to someone, or scroll on my phone, or binge watch something, or step out of my house for any kind of distraction to come occupy me. Mindfulness, essentially. It all feels messed up, like the odds are stacked against me. Like no matter how hard I try, this life is nothing but a Sisyphean task. A Sisyphean task with a twist.
There is not just one boulder that I have to roll up the hill. There are half a dozen. And once I reach the top, there is no telling which one is going to roll down the next. There is this continuous shifting and configuring to enable the rolling up of one specific type of boulder. It’s exhausting yes, but also so very confusing.
I’ll end this now. Go work on my website or maybe lie down for some time. But here’s another quote from the book that may make you feel slightly better like I do perhaps feel:
Whenever things seem to fall apart, calm yourself by remembering times when things have fallen in place — destiny is not against you.
How you live is your choice. Sure, you cannot control the circumstances of your life but never forget; you decide your response to the happenings in your life. Life continues unabated whether you live it or just endure it. Have you grown comfortable in your discontent, trapped by the dark details of your life? Focus on Seeing the big picture of your potential life rather than getting stuck in the details of insignificant disjointed pieces. What is your inner wisdom telling you? Recognize that the mind is your magic wand. It is a truth many fail to grasp, that is, your thoughts are the building blocks of creation. This is why it is so important to cultivate a positive mindset that sees opportunities where a negative mindset sees obstacles.
Mastering the art of policing your thoughts frees you from the bondage of being a slave to the dictates of your emotions and others. Know for sure that when you live and move in love you surrender to the universal flow of life. Know that by rooting yourself in love will give you the wisdom and the power to ‘Let Go and let God.’ for you understand that your hurt acts as a furnace that burns away the dross allowing you to love again and again, with generous abandonment.

Everyday life presents us with many opportunities for learning & growth. Each day we all accomplish something. These opportunities begin the moment we get up to start a new day.
Living each day mindfully & taking time to be aware of our accomplishments - no matter how small they may seem - gives meaning to our lives.
Whether it’s getting up in the morning, taking the kids to school, going to work, attending classes, making or sharing a meal with a friend or loved one, listening to understand someone instead of listening to respond, identifying an A.N.T. (Automatic Negative Thought) to restructure, or smiling at someone you encountered on your daily journey, it’s important to recognize these accomplishments.
Taking time to acknowledge our “weekly wins” as we call them here at the TherapyBites™ A.R.T. (Accurate, Realistic Thoughts) L.A.B. (Life Affirming Beliefs), promotes a healthy mindset and is an important part of practicing A.R.T. in our own lives.
We invite you to share something you accomplished today in the comments below. We all benefit from reading one another’s comments!
every time i get a big feeling, like big joy or big excitement, I try to really really feel it - like name it and where i feel it in my body - so I can be fully present with my experience of goodness in this lifetime
