| How Playing "the Blame Game" is really Self-Criticism in its Worst Form | 29 Nov 2023 | 00:10:45 | |
Do you blame others for things going wrong in your life? Be honest. It's a big temptation and we all do it to some degree or another. But we also know: It doesn't feel good.

| Re-Actions | 06 Aug 2023 | 00:03:14 | |
Do you re-act? When we find ourselves instantly & defensively reacting to a comment often this is because we are pulling information from old memory files. Instead of being present in the brand new moment -- that while it may feel familiar, is still actually a wholly new moment -- we "re-act" drawing on unconscious feelings gathered from past situation.

| Friendship Age Gaps: The Benefits of Making Friends with People of All Ages | 15 May 2023 | 00:06:45 | |

| Why You MAY Want to Subscribe to the Silver Disobedience® Podcast | 10 May 2023 | 00:09:33 | |
It seems to me that throughout our lives, we are either told to “act our age” or we spend time worrying about “becoming our age.” What’s up with our cultural issues regarding aging? Why don’t we just relax, welcome and embrace the benefits of the years we have lived? Good question! I think it is due to the socialization processes that we all go through from the day we're born. We're told what to do, how to do it, when to do it and more -- and we're often left doubting ourselves and worrying about if we're doing life right. This leads to all kinds of worries, anxiety & confidence issues. The goal for each of my essays—on this podcast, in my books and on my daily blog—has remained constant: By sharing what my readers view as “practical, relatable yet challenging thoughts,” perhaps others can engage with my musings and find them to be comforting as we explore our connectedness and release many of the feelings of “aloneness” that we all grapple with to one degree or another throughout our lives. This dream has been realized beyond my wildest imaginings, thanks to the willingness of the hundreds of thousands who participate in a daily conversation on my website and social media accounts. The comments following each Silver Disobedience blog are as insightful and honest as I hope each of my essays is. This mutual dialog continues to be immensely heartwarming and underscores the joys of unanticipated “aging” consequences. Clearly, there is a collective desire to understand ourselves, our responsibilities and our relationships—including our desire to confront our differences in constructive ways instead of simply holding on to the need to be “right.” The ongoing conversation confirms that the essence of “Who we are” doesn’t change very much as we age—yet, we appear to believe wholeheartedly that each year has helped us to become better in myriad ways.

| Friendships: The Many Kinds and Value of Each | 08 May 2023 | 00:04:10 | |
There are many kinds of friendships that we will develop throughout our lives -- from acquaintances, casual, work, close, social and besties. All of our friendships are important and they each have the ability to fulfill our different needs for human connection. Yet, it is very important to understand the differences between our varying friendships because much like most relationships, they are rarely one-size-fits all. IF we believe otherwise, we may be putting too much pressure on the relationship which might cause us to lose it or feel otherwise disappointed.
