My Last Year On-Line

In a way, the last month was a milestone for me:

• It has been a year since I started writing my blog (my first post was on the 12^th October of 2009).

• The idea of having a dedicated web site matured and has already been realized to some degree. This is after one year of posting the blog on other web sites (like: e-blogger,  healthyplace.com, social.realmentalhealthsite.com, experienceproject.com).

These are the two reasons why I have decided to give you some feedback about my forty or so posts. I thought it might be interesting to see which posts were most “popular”. Below is a table of 10 posts that you liked most.

You can see the publishing date and the number of views. Please note, that some posts have more views because they have been published sooner than others. In a year time frame, the situation may change. The statistics (the number of views) is taken from healthyplace.com web site.

The following is my view on this list, although my interpretation is not necessarily the same as yours:

The first three blogs probably show how isolated we have become as human beings: we find it hard to trust people (1), we keep competing with others (2) and when something goes wrong, we think it is a punishment from above (3).

Luckily all other blogs are pointing towards possible solutions: humor (4), education (5), using our own capability to think and not waiting for others to tell us what to do (6, 7), working hard to change ourselves not the world around us (8), but also trying to fix our relationships with other people at the same time (9). And last but not least – bringing theory into practice instead of only reading self help books (10).

I would appreciate to hear from you. Thus I can make my blogs even more useful. And thank you again for all your comments that have already been posted!

Take care,

Helena

P.S.: In my last post “Tired, but happy” I said I would write about the Phyllis Krystal seminar in Munich. I will do that next week.
