Paradigm shift

I think I heard it in a song on the radio. "Paradigm shift" was used to indicate a transition. It's a nice way to say it. I think most people realize how difficult transition can be. I tell my clients, it's not easy to make a change, but people do it every day. For example, It's not easy to quit smoking, but people do it every day. How many people do you know who have quit smoking? It seems everyone knows people who have. So it opens up a discussion of how to make the paradigm shift easier for them to become a fresh air breather. The smokers who come to me become "fresh air breathers." Not "non-smokers."

Regurgitate

Seems like I've been gone a long time. I did get to check my email in an Internet Cafe in Cyprus twice in the past 3 weeks.

I actually regurgitated on the way home on the plane during landing. Thank goodness, they still have airsickness bags on the planes. An odd thing to provide for every flyer, since I doubt they are used very often. I guess it used to be common when air travel was new and novel to the general public and many people experienced fear and anxiety. But now we know how safe air travel is compared to other modes of transportation. And if logic doesn't influence the emotional response, hypnosis can be used to reduce anxiety and eliminate fear of flying.

Re gur gi tate-- repeat, throw back, throw up. Re means again, I think gurgi must be Latin. Yes! Gurgitare means to engulf, and gurgit- means whirlpool.
