L'important c'est d'avoir le courage d'essayer !

These are always fun... I'm pretty sure Empaths have a better chance of being able to read this easily than many others. Am I right? How did you do?

For all the Idea-Generators out there (and I know you are legion!) ;)

Does this hit the mark for you?

Snow day in Victoria -- wanna meet my new boyfriend! ;) He's a bit cool at the best of times but he has a heart of white gold! And he isn't around very much. ... I only get to see him once or twice a year. But he's still pretty hunky and -- who can disagree -- a snappy dresser, so what are ya gonna do? Did I mention he's the strong, silent type, as well? Could be the perfect man! ;) See more

Found this in my travels and thought you might vibe to it!

RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE. "When I was at one of my lowest (mental) points in life, I couldn’t get out of bed some days. I had no energy or motivation and was b...arely getting by. I had therapy once per week, and on this particular week I didn’t have much to ‘bring’ to the session. He asked how my week was and I really had nothing to say. What are you struggling with? he asked. I gestured around me and said I dunno man. Life. Not satisfied with my answer, he said No, what exactly are you worried about right now? What feels overwhelming? When you go home after this session, what issue will be staring at you? I knew the answer, but it was so ridiculous that I didn’t want to say it. I wanted to have something more substantial. Something more profound. But I didn’t. So I told him, "Honestly? The dishes. It's stupid, I know, but the more I look at them the more I CAN’T do them because I’ll have to scrub them before I put them in the dishwasher, because the dishwasher sucks, and I just can’t stand and scrub the dishes. I felt like an idiot even saying it. What kind of grown-ass woman is undone by a stack of dishes? There are people out there with *actual* problems, and I’m whining to my therapist about dishes? But, my therapist nodded in understanding and then said: RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE. I began to tell him that you’re not supposed to, but he stopped me. Why the hell aren’t you supposed to? If you don’t want to scrub the dishes and your dishwasher sucks, run it twice. Run it three times, who cares?! Rules do not exist, so stop giving yourself rules. It blew my mind in a way that I don’t think I can properly express. That day, I went home and tossed my smelly dishes haphazardly into the dishwasher and ran it three times. I felt like I had conquered a dragon. The next day, I took a shower lying down. A few days later, I folded my laundry and put it wherever the fuck they fit. There were no longer arbitrary rules I had to follow, and it gave me the freedom to make accomplishments again. Now that I’m in a healthier place, I rinse off my dishes and put them in the dishwasher properly. I shower standing up. I sort my laundry. But, at a time when living was a struggle instead of a blessing, I learned an incredibly important lesson: THERE ARE NO RULES. RUN THE DISHWASHER TWICE!!!"

Right or left brain? The first picture you'll see, will show the most requested hemisphere. Look at the picture quickly. Which animal did you see first?... (1) The head of a tiger: The left hemisphere of your brain is more active than the right. You are an analytical person, very focused on the success of your goals and organized. When you face a problem, you tend to be logic, calculator and objective. However, sometimes you think too much about the decisions you make, checking that they are correct, which makes you tend to be firm. Remember that a little humility will help you help away. Your personality features are as follows: Organized: You do all your things in a planned way, like you have a bucket list. Accurate: you have fixed goals and you know the way to achieve them. lucid: emotions and feelings don't prevent you from reaching your goals. Logic: you have good skills for mathematics, science and organization of ideas. Realistic: your world is very real. There is no room for fairy tales and fiction. And anyway, although your goals may seem to be high for others, you know they are real and doable. (2) Hanging monkey: The right hemisphere of your brain is very active. You are a creative person who has a lot of innovative ideas. When you face a difficult situation, you rather trust your intuition (you're almost always right) instead of resting on critical thinking. You know perfectly well that every step you take in your life is a lesson for you and that even if you lose, it means that you are moving towards the success of your goals. For you, travel is more important than the goal. As you are a dreamer, you often get lost in your own paradise. For you, it's essential to keep your feet on Earth from time to time, realize the reality and pay a little more attention to the world around you. Your personality features are as follows: Impulsive: you do things in a spontaneous way. You have the ability to see everything in a different way compared to other people. Sensitive: you worry a lot about everything. You spend a lot of time thinking and acting based on your feelings. Creative and artistic: you are an expert in music, art and other creative disciplines. Intuitive: you don't list the tasks to do and you don't respect the rules. You solve problems in an intuitive way. Dreamer: you have dreams instead of having goals, and you give the best of you to achieve them, and generally, it's a success. Remember that the two hemispheres of the brain don't work in an insulated way, they work together and complete each other. So, although it looks like you have more features from one of the hemispheres, you may also have features from the other hemisphere. So, what did you see first? The tiger's head or the hanging monkey? Do your personality traits match the descriptions given?

I admit I took this from one of the other groups but only because it wouldn't let me "share" it. It so resonated with me (as I sit here surrounded by my 4 fur kids) that I wanted to pass it along to see how many of you LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your pets, critters, wildlife and anything from the animal realms?

This is an interesting test. I had NO idea where it was taking me. And wondered what the result would be. Something that doesn't often happen to me. (Now, I"m also enough of a skeptic to wonder if everyone gets the same result! Cynical, well, yes. I'm an OLDER Empath, so I've learned to be cautious. I hope some of you will try this, as well, then post your results! Curiosity overwhelms everything with me... so looking forward to test this test, with your help!
