Negative thoughts that cycle through our head, and are thus referred to as “chatter”, are destructive by nature.In constructive behavior, talking to ourselves can help us process difficult emotions and coach us to achieve our goals.This inner monologue we are having can be either constructive or destructive.However, our inner monologue can pop up while we multitask, making this constant conversation inescapable. Our brain automatically jumps into the “default” state whenever a current activity isn’t engaging enough.As a result, we spend most of our time inside our minds, chasing thoughts.

While much better known artistically for her surrealist paintings, Carrington as a writer merits much more attention than she’s gotten for that creative work. The fact is, Carrington’s literary efforts are reminiscent of Carroll’s in being highly original, wildly imaginative texts that can stretch readers’ minds while providing them with entertainment. Aberth mentions more than once that Carrington treasured Carroll’s written work. ![]() In her superb 2004 book, Leonora Carrington: Surrealism, Alchemy, and Art, author Susan L. Carrington (1917-2011) would have liked to know that her novel The Hearing Trumpet, a collection of her short stories, and a few other of her books exist in such close proximity to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and The Hunting of the Snark.

For years, goods could be bought at small tents outside the stadium (and they still can), but in 2014 the organization built the Tokyo Swallows Official Goods shop for a more extensive collection of Swallows gear that is open year-round. ![]() ![]() Unlike most other stadiums, Jingu Stadium doesn't have its official merchandise shop connected to the same building.

Menzies alleges that the Chinese not only discovered America, but also established colonies here long before Columbus set out to sea. According to Menzies's brazen but dull account of the Middle Kingdom's exploits at sea, Magellan, Dias, da Gama, Cabral and Cook only "discovered" lands the Chinese had already visited, and they sailed with maps drawn from Chinese charts. ![]() ![]() The amateur historian's lightly footnoted, heavily speculative re-creation of little-known voyages made by Chinese ships in the early 1400s goes far beyond what most experts in and outside of China are willing to assert and will surely set tongues wagging.
