Christine Sachs: How Keanu Reeves Taught Me ... - Huffington Post

In my pre-coaching days, I remember seeing the trailer for Hardball, a movie starring Keanu Reeves as an inveterate sports gambler who, in order to pay off a loan, is saddled with coaching a corporate-sponsored Little League baseball team for underprivileged youth in a Chicago housing project. The trailer stood out to me because it was the first time I ever heard the old clich? (as uttered by Reeves' character), "One of the most important things in life is showing up." After laughing at Reeves' delivery, I thought, "Oh please. Really? Showing up is one of the most important things??! REALLY?!"

Fast forward 11 years...

I have a very good friend I'll identify here as G. We've known each other for a long time. I consider her one of my best friends. G is one of the most warm-hearted, tough-minded, talented women I know. I would walk through fire for her, and she for me. I know without reservation that I can go to her for anything I need.

Recently, I did turn to her in a moment of need. I made two specific requests of her. G immediately responded "yes" to both.

And then nothing. Radio silence.

Now, my automatic response to this situation is to go away and figure it out on my own. To know and accept that this is where she's at, and realizing that if I am to love her and be friends, it means accepting her where she's at -- at the expense of my own needs. Because I know that she loves me. She wouldn't reject me, unless my need is... completely unreasonable. This thinking, of course, leads me down the path of lessons learned from my adoption: I'm not allowed to have needs because no one will listen to me. Nobody cares.

And, as G has so clearly proven in these instances, I can't count on anyone.

So, from this place -- the place of knowing that I can't count on anyone and being "OK" with it -- I emailed G to hang out socially. She responded with, "I am so humbled that you still want to hang after I prove that I am so unreliable."

And then, again, nothing. Radio silence.

At this point, I'm pissed. I'm beyond pissed. I have taken it all to mean the very worst about her and about me. I don't know how I'm going to talk to G without just exploding or saying something I'm going to regret. Maybe this means the end of our friendship? Maybe it just means I can't rely on her and this is the ceiling in our relationship? Maybe it means I really am unreasonable and asked too much of her?

After a good freak out (and a good cry), I took a breath. I slowed down. I stopped reacting and tried to respond to what is rather than what I was imagining the situation to be. I realized that having needs is not a bad thing. Opening myself up and being with my disappointment and anger and sadness is part of the game I have chosen to play. I also realized that holding people accountable when they've made a commitment is actually in service of their greatness.

So I called G and left a message, telling her how hurt and angry I'd been and how I needed to share it with her because I valued our relationship. We met up, and I felt like I was dying. I felt my chest constrict. I felt shortness of breath. I felt fear so great that I couldn't hear anything. I thought I was going to black out. But I was committed to following through on sharing what was going on with me. I took as deep a breath as I could and shared with her what I needed and how I felt she'd let me down. At first, G responded with a variety of reasons why she didn't follow through, and admitted that I wasn't the only one she'd let down recently. Then, she confessed that she "didn't feel it was my job as your friend" to do the favors which I'd asked of her. A perfectly acceptable response, except that she'd initially said "yes." And because she said "yes," I needed her to show up.

As we spoke, I realized that this was not just about her not showing up in these two instances. This conversation was about me showing up for our relationship. By sharing what I needed in a non-violent manner -- without the intention of changing her or making her better or correcting her behavior -- I gave us the chance to move beyond the limits we were setting in our minds about who and what we are as friends. I put us both at choice to decide who we want to be in all our relationships. To recognize that showing up for ourselves can and will manifest itself in how we show up for each other.

What if -- truly -- one of the most important things in life is showing up? How do you show up for yourself and what you need? How do you show up for others and integrate what you need with where they're at? What might happen if you showed up and shared the scary, messy stuff in service of your relationship?

I invite you to consider possibilities... while I go watch Hardball.

A first? Helicopter gunships bombard Syrian capital

AFP - Getty Images

An image grab taken from a video uploaded on YouTube on Sunday shows smoke billowing a neighborhood inDamascus.

By NBC News staff and wire services

Helicopter gunships bombarded several districts of Syria's capital in an effort to drive out insurgents, as rebels battled President Bashar Assad's forces near the main intelligence base in the northern city of Aleppo on Sunday, witnesses said.

"Helicopters are fiercely shelling the northern quarter of Barzeh with rockets and machine guns," an NBC News contact in Damascus said. "They're flying over my head. The shelling is the first of [its] kind ever witnessed in Damascus."


Residents and opposition activists told Reuters that Syria's elite Fourth Division troops were besieging the northern neighborhood of Barzeh, one of three northern areas hit by helicopter fire. ?Rebels were also driven from Mezze, the diplomatic district of Damascus, they said.?

The eye-witness report came even as Syrian state television quoted a media source denying that helicopters had fired on the capital. "The situation in Damascus is normal, but the security forces are pursuing the remnants of the terrorists in some streets," it said.

The fourth division is run by Assad's younger brother, Maher Assad, 41, who is widely seen as the muscle maintaining the Assad family's four decades of Alawite minority rule.

Government troops launched an offensive against opposition forces in Syria days after rebels killed some of President Assad's top deputies. NBC's Lester Holt reports.

UN extends Syria observer mission as fighting continues

His role has become more crucial since Assad's defense and intelligence ministers, a top general and his powerful brother-in-law were killed by the bomb on Wednesday, part of a "Damascus volcano" by rebels seeking to turn the tables in a revolt inspired by Arab Spring uprisings in Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.

Assad has not spoken in public since the bombing. Diplomats and opposition sources said government forces were focusing on strategic centers, with one Western diplomat comparing Assad to a doctor "abandoning the patient's limbs to save the organs."

Fighting also raged in parts of Aleppo?-- the country's main commercial and industrial hub -- and in Deir al-Zor on the Euprhates river, the largest city in the east. ?

London School of Economics Professor Fawaz Gerges discusses what we know about the bomber who killed seven, including five Israeli tourists and himself, then analyzes whether the fall of Syria's President Assad is close.

Death toll hits 19,000
The news of the worsening violence came as an activist group said the death toll had hit more than 19,000 since anti-Assad protests slid into violent clashes?in March 2011.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says if the current pace of killing continues through the end of July, it will be the deadliest month since the Syrian uprising erupted.

NBC's Ayman Mohyeldin answers your questions about Syria

Observatory chief Rami Abdul-Rahman said Sunday that 2,752 people ? 1,933 civilians, 738 government troops and 81 rebels ? were killed in the first 21 days of July.

The average daily death toll in June was 94, while this month it has increased to an average of 131 a day.?

Chemical weapons
As the violence raged seemingly unabated, the United States said it was closely monitoring Syria's chemical weapons stockpile and is "actively consulting" Damascus's neighbors to stress concerns over the security of those weapons and Syria's responsibility to safeguard them.

"We believe Syria's chemical weapons stockpile remains under Syrian government control," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said on Saturday. "Given the escalation of violence in Syria and the regime's increasing attacks on their people, we remain very concerned about these weapons."

Analysts: Russia will be big loser if Assad falls

That was the White House response to a question about a?Syrian military defector's?claim that Assad's forces were moving chemical weapons across the country for possible use against the opposition in a military retaliation for the killing of four top security officials.

"In addition to monitoring their stockpiles, we are actively consulting with Syria's neighbors -- and our friends in the international community -- to underscore our common concern about the security of these weapons, and the Syrian government's obligation to secure them," Vietor said.?

General Mustafa Sheikh, who defected recently, has?said Assad could now rely only on an inner core of loyal army regiments, saying "the collapse of the regime is accelerating like a snowball."?

Diplomats across the globe voiced their frustrations at the United Nations this morning over the decision by Russia and China to veto a resolution that would have imposed new sanctions on Syria. Amb. Susan Rice discusses.

But Sheikh?also said Assad's forces were transporting chemical weapons across the country for possible use against rebel forces.

"The regime has started moving its chemical stockpile and redistributing it to prepare for its use," said Sheikh, citing rebel intelligence obtained in recent days.

His comments could not be verified, but Israel said on Friday it would consider military action if needed to ensure Syrian missiles or chemical weapons did not reach Assad's allies in Lebanon, the Shiite Islamist movement Hezbollah.

"I have instructed the military to increase its intelligence preparations and prepare what is needed so that ... (if necessary) ... we will be able to consider carrying out an operation," Defense Minister Ehud Barak said.?

Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Star Wars-themed GPS steers Japanese geeks away from the dark side

Dinos Star Warsthemed GPS steers geeks away from the dark side

As if George Lucas wasn't already milking his money-printing franchise for all it's worth, comes this GPS gem out of Japan. To the (presumed) delight of fanboys everywhere, navigation maker Dinos has inked a licensing deal with Lucasfilm that conjures up an all-out, Star Wars-themed car nav system. From the orchestral theme music at startup to the voice guidance performed by the original Japanese VO actors (Darth Vader and C-3P0 only), the 5-inch LCD mount is pretty much the memorabilia stuff of a grown-up, scifi geek's wet dream. There's even a mode selection option to let users pledge their allegiance to either the "Empire" or the "Rebels," in addition to 20 different custom vehicle indicator icons. Sounds fluffy enough, but the unit also does double duty as a OneSeg TV tuner and can even be used as a standalone set. It's on sale now for 39,800Yen (US$507), but unless you're living in the Land of the Rising Sun, this import's just kitsch for kitsch's sake.

5 Benefits of Jogging on Anxiety | Stop Stress and Anxiety

Aerobic activities are a crucial part of
physical fitness. Aerobics are the only effective method of maintaining a
healthy heart, and a great way to improve overall weight loss. There?s a reason
that doctors, fitness experts, and the media all recommend running as a way to
improve your physical health.
But aerobic activities do so much more than
that, and for those suffering from anxiety, a simple activity like jogging can
have a profound effect on your ability to manage your symptoms.
Jogging and Anxiety

Just 30 to 60 minutes of running every day
can have a remarkable effect on your mental health. Just a few of the benefits
of regular running include:

After about 10 to 15 minutes of running,
your body starts to release neurotransmitters known as endorphins. Endorphins
are a type of completely healthy, completely natural mood stabilizer. The more
you run, the more endorphins your body receives. These chemicals also act like
powerful pain killers, relaxing your entire body in a way that is so powerful,
it?s referred to as a ?Runner?s High.?

Weight loss is not just important for your
physical health. Your mental health is affected by it as well. The more
unhealthy weight you gain, the more your body starts to experience stress, and
over time that stress becomes regular and persistent anxiety. Running helps to
burn fat, thus decreasing the amount of stress your body is under regularly.

Much of today?s anxiety is due to reasons
that have nothing to do with anxiety-producing events. One of the primary
reasons that anxiety has been on the rise is because men and women now spend
most of their time inactive. When your body doesn?t use up its energy reserves,
it ends up transferring that energy into negative energy, like anxiety. Jogging
helps deplete this excess energy.

Similarly, inactivity can make it more
difficult to fall asleep. Your body has all of this pent up energy at night,
and it struggles to allow your brain to rest. By using up these energy
reserves, you become more likely to get a better night?s sleep. Indeed, with
the added pain-killer benefits of jogging, you should also have an easier time
finding a comfortable sleeping position. Sleep deprivation is a common anxiety cause, and a tired
brain makes it harder to cope with daily stresses.

Finally, few people spend time in a
relaxing environment, where they can enjoy their own thoughts and distance
themselves from the stresses of the day. Even if you jog with a partner,
jogging represents a time where the technology, people, and situations that
cause you stress are left at home or the office. You?re out on your own,
breathing in fresh air, and becoming healthier in the process.

Yet Another Reason to Start Jogging

Daily jogging is one of those activities
that many people consider, but few people muster up enough motivation to start.
While everyone wants to be healthy, it often takes a while to build up enough
endurance before jogging can have its greatest benefits, and many find that
they quickly lose their will.

But if you also suffer from anxiety, jogging is an activity with some incredible anti-anxiety benefits. Many people
with mild to moderate anxiety need only to start jogging in order to feel like
their anxiety is nearly completely cured. If you have anxiety, you should
strongly consider running regularly in order to improve your overall mental
health.

cure it. He now spends time writing about anxiety and stress at his website, www.calmclinic.com.
