]]> Comment on William Glasser’s Five Basic Needs by CJ http://heroesnotzombies.wordpress.com/2008/03/25/william-glassers-five-basic-needs/#comment-4209 CJ Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:06:02 +0000 http://heroesnotzombies.wordpress.com/?p=482#comment-4209 I used to use Glasser's theories to run a Time-Out room in a public middle school. I agree with Glasser's list of needs, but I would add one more: hope. We all need to think the future (short or long-term) will be different or better. Those who have no hope become the misfits of society, gang members, criminals, terrorists, addicts, people out to destroy rather than create. The people I know who suffer depression may not be fulfilling one or more of their motivating needs, but when they have no hope that things will improve, they sink into debilitating despair.

My contributions to the world of photographic art haven't amounted to much. Don't know if you remember the time, as teenagers, we were walking between the youth hostels in Brig o'Turk and Balquhidder and I dropped my dad's expensive camera in a burn. I've come on a bit with cameras since then, but my pictures are nothing like yours. Amazed as ever by your photos, Bob – how on earth do you do it?

Since then I have read all of the articles and have thoroughly enjoyed them (and all of your associated photographs) From what I know of the holistic nature of homeopathy from Mary there is much that we all can learn from this as a discipline and I have to admit that it makes me view medicine in a much more favourable light - the only alarm bells that ring for me are around the economics of homeopathic treatment as perceived by the accountants and senior management in the NHS - and it would be interesting to hear their views? Inspired by your writings I have created my blog now (mittecltd) and it is embryonic, however any views on the topics welcome. Thanks Bob and I look forward to reading your next post and perhaps bumping into you to say hello in person next time I am dropping off or picking up Mary. ps as to how I start my day, well coffee and radio 5 are a must to catch up on the overnight madness, followed my much tutting and head shaking as appropriate!!

He greets me with enthusiasm as he knows I have the key to his desire (the cat food). Its great to see his salute to the sun......each limb stretched , his back moving in the instinctive 'cat and camel' movements. So he is teaching me to be more conscious . When I can cycle to work -- I really enjoy the first uphill stretch as it really clears the lungs and then the whizz down hill through the woods is a delight. The woodland path first thing at 7.30 is often the highlight of the day ---the speed, the cold air at this time and sometimes a deer startled. Driving never feels like this but when I remember to listen to Terry Wogan his familiar jovial tones and earthy realism (that seem to have been around for ever) remind me of so many past times and make me more conscious.....
