\nPat Patterson Hindsight in intelligent and basically nice people leads to the assumption that instead of the fault being the other person’s it must be the party that becomes convinced that they did something wrong. It’s not self-sabotage but hindsight.

\nSandy: hmmm..let me count the ways, but probably mostly by not evenreturning a phone call to someone who stood by you, said only good things about you,dismissed and negated the not such wonderful things some other key people were saying and basically helped keep you at a certain shul when it seemd all but hopeless. yeah,i wouldve written this as a private msg but i know that’s not your style and it wouldve ended up online anyway.<\/p>\n

Socially isolated people are more likely to kick the bucket, push up the daisies, go thru the final check-out, and do the Big Sleep.<\/a><\/p>\n

A new Brigham Young University study adds our social relationships to the \u201cshort list\u201d of factors that predict a person\u2019s odds of living or dying.<\/p>\n

In the journal PLoS Medicine<\/a><\/em>, BYU professors Julianne Holt-Lunstad and Timothy Smith report that social connections \u2013 friends, family, neighbors or colleagues \u2013 improve our odds of survival by 50 percent. Here is how low social interaction compares to more well-known risk factors:<\/p>\n

– Equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day<\/p>\n

– Equivalent to being an alcoholic<\/p>\n

– More harmful than not exercising<\/p>\n

– Twice as harmful as obesity<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea that a lack of social relationships is a risk factor for death is still not widely recognized by health organizations and the public,\u201d write the PLoS Medicine<\/em> editors in a summary of the BYU study and why it was done.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
