As you have all posted in Mayo Connect's Mental Health Group, I wanted to invite you to join in a program by Dr. Amit Sood, entitled Happiness a One Week Journey. Probably many of you are familiar with Dr. Amit Sood, a psychiatrist at Mayo. This is a free online program that addresses the issue of happiness. Here is what Dr. Sood says about this program.
Dear friends,
You and I face one common enemy – suffering. Pain, physical or emotional, when it becomes unbearable, is experienced as suffering. Pain is unavoidable, but suffering is optional. My goal is to help you find a path so you can bypass suffering in this life. One reward of traversing that journey is finding greater happiness.
Happiness is a habit. Some of us are innately happy. But most others have to choose. We often, however, don’t realize we have that choice. We also don’t know how to exercise that choice. As a result, we push happiness away. Let that not happen to you.
Join me, if you wish, to spend the next week of your life, choosing greater happiness. Each day, you’ll be guided to a practice that can make you happier. To enroll, you’ll need to register with your name and email address to connect with us for the next week. Select ‘Happiness: A One Week Journey,’ below for more information.
Take care.
Amit

Hello everyone sorry for my bad english but i want tell about my odd condition whenever i search for any symptoms or disease it feels like i have those symptoms or disease for example in july i was suffering from fatigue so i searched on Google for cause and i found out that parkinsons and multiple scelrosis are disorder which cause fatigue and there was another symptom for it and that was excessive saliva in mouth like drooling, you will not believe i read that in morning and in evening there was excessive saliva in mouth same condition that i read on the symptoms page and i suffered for almost one month and then it vanished without any medicine and now i checked for clicking jaw but there was no other problem like pain or any other thing but googling it show tmd disorder which cause pain also and after reading all symptoms i start checking my jaw for two days like opening jaw several times without any reason just to check pain and to listen the noise and after two day of foolish jaw checking i developed pain in jaw and when i asked my dentist friend for clicking jaw he said 60 percent people's jaw clicks and its normal and now i dont know how come over anxiety of having tmd
I know of the fasting of old and young store owner's I would make deliveries to. I know think , and say this has been my habits daily for years. No eat till after dark for most of the work week. Does coffee and water contradict the rules? If not I still exist by this habit. I fell blessed to have meet other cultures here living in America. I still feel fear and wonder of the need for a burka (female coverage). I cried and was elevated when President Obama was elected in America, with all the priggishness I witnessed in my younger life. ---- It is a good morning. October the third, twenty seventeen.
Is anyone reading this? Got to do other things. If not important for my comments

@fourtoesbroke112216, your posts are read and we are listening, of that you can be sure on an active community like Connect. I'm thrilled to see you return to this conversation. It's been a little while.
The sun is shining beautiful here today, and in my part of the country cool, crisp air reminds me that season is changing. It feels good to take a big deep breath.
