In fact, I am notorious for deflecting compliments; cancelling out anything positive with something negative.

Learning to accept compliments means setting aside those encrusted beliefs of unworthiness and replacing them with thoughts of value; believing I deserve credit for my strengths and achievements.

We all need recognition and praise.

Accepting a compliment does not mean I am conceited. It means I have a healthy self image.

I can feel proud of my achievements without broadcasting them.

A compliment is a gift.

Simply smile and say Thank You.

It seems that becoming a hypochondriac is much easier than it used to be. The medical community has even gone so far as to coin a fancy schmancy new name for this latest calamity—cyberchondria.

Back in the olden days, a hypochondriac would have to make a search or examination of medical books and journals, as well as call upon various health practitioners for an answer or information pertaining to any number of diseases, disorders, and conditions. No doubt a painstaking task back in the day!

Today, there is an abundance of health information available on the internet.

Most cyberchondriacs are often not particularly careful about where they get their health information—and that can lead to serious misinformation.

For many hypochondriacs, before the advent of the internet, a half-remembered harrowing health stories in a movie of the week about someone with a lengthy illness is considered legitimate and reliable source.

But this new breed of hypochondriac—the cyberchondriac—is using the vast and unregulated health information available on the internet, and that can lead to serious trouble.

When the moon is in the Seventh House,
And Jupiter aligns with Mars;
Then peace will guide the planets,
And love will steer the stars.

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius—
The Age of Aquarius;
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

The Age of Aquarius signals the end of an era, and the beginning of another.

Its arrival and meaning are marked with mystery, and opinions differ widely in the Astrology community. Its estimated time of arrival is thought to have been sometime around the year 2000. Its exact start date is still being debated by experts and laypeople alike.

Harmony and understanding,
Sympathy and trust abounding;
No more falsehoods or derisions—
Golden living dreams of visions.
Mystic crystal revelation,
And the mind’s true liberation.
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

There is no way to know where the Age of Aquarius will lead us, but we have an opportunity to apply the most positive qualities of Aquarius: compassion, open-mindedness, and philanthropy, etc. toward everyone and everything… to make this world a more accepting, charitable, and intrepid world.

Let the sun shine, Let the sun shine in—
The sun shine in!
Let the sun shine, Let the sun shine in—
The sun shine in!
Let the sun shine, Let the sun shine in—
The sun shine in!
