<<< "Wellness sets in?" with lotsa practice...
> How did you come by this theory? science has found the opposite to be true, and well most people women especially, innately know the importance of being able to speak about their troubles, gather, and gossip a little.>
><<< Ask a "well" person if gossipping and griping is part of what they now know as wellness.
<<< The major breakthroughs in science seems to be coming from the neuroscientists. If they state that grumblig and complaining and griping and gossipping as habituation of continued pandering to the whims of the four core organs managed by the visceral cortex, the gut, I'll eat another hat. (Bullwinckle Moose: "No doubt about it. I gotta get another hat....") Please re-read that book I suggested, "The Second Brain".

Rod, I think what we're talking about is a matter of degree, and I'll never quite know what degree of gossiping or griping you're talking about. It's not really news that if your life is founded on negativity, fault finding, and the petty judgement of others that it's not healthy. However, having someone to share your troubles with can be invaluable, literally life saving. Conversely, clinical depression can make it very difficult if not impossible for someone to see the positive in anything, and insisting that they do is like asking someone to think their way out of a broken leg.
I've never been much of a gossip, at work I was known as the anti-gossip. However that didn't prevent depression.
I think these things can be helpful suggestions, but I don't believe anything "set's in" I think what concentrating less on others faults can do is can do is free your mind to see the positive, and there's nothing wrong with that. Clinical depression however, requires much more complex solutions. Rod I simply don't think these are unusual solutions to a bad period in someone's life, I think they may be helpful for
someone who is lonely or finding social interaction difficult, or who has a case of the blues, but that's not to be confused with depression.

If they state that[did you mean do *not* state? that grumbling and complaining is pandering to the whims of the gut?" Judging from your use of the word pander, your sentence makes more sense to me that way]
grumblig and complaining and griping and gossipping as habituation of continued pandering to the whims of the four core organs managed by the visceral cortex, the gut, I'll eat another hat.

Gabbi,
If not, join me and the billions of other people who make this mistake. Once you tune in to that sneaky collection of core organs that appropriately served us well as children, but blackmail us mercilessly as adults, we say, "uh, uh! Not me! Not today! Not ever (again)!
I apologize for my snotty "re-read" comment. Just go to Border's or Barnes'n'Noble, and take the time to read "The Second Brain". Please do it for yourself and your future.
You mentioned that you could evaluate what I was saying better if you could just hear my voice. What would be different then? I submit that behavior and intent wouldn't change much, but your feelings would. Feelings are the stuff of life managed by the gut. If the gut is not in concert with the other eight senses, you can find your life spinning out of control, like a child's toy top. If guiding feelings that are stored in childhood in the gut, are based on false beliefs and faulty opinion, there will be no concert, because reallity will never match up with the image stored in the gut.
We aren't crazy! We just feel like we are!
Rod
