How to Become an Eternal Student

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

By Sarah Boutwell What is the eternal student? Well quite literally it is one who studies forever. You might say that everyone is in fact an eternal student. But I am referring to that type of person who is a permanent resident in a university. The perks of staying in college are numerous– namely you don’t have to pay for your life. Some of the lucky are able to con parents into paying for their stay at institutes of higher education, but one can occasionally trick the government and other scholarship organizations into paying. There are several types of eternal students ranging from the truly dedicated to the wild partier. Most often when one refers to an eternal student the automatic assumption is that of the Truly Dedicated Eternal Student. This is often a student who has chosen random and rather bizarre course work. You most often find these students among Classical Studies or History students. The reason is simple. No one cares about those majors except the people in them. Who really needs to major in Sanskrit anymore? It’s a five thousand year old dead language. So students of these types of majors can always find something old to study and claim the need to study that fully before they move into “the real world”. These students can always find something else to study because the stuff has been around so darn long. Since no one cares about these studies anymore these students are free to hide is the sunlight-deprived coroners of dusty libraries and remain free from responsibility. The major difficulty in being a truly Dedicated Eternal Student is to lie convincingly enough so that the parents, friends, the university, and financial supporters all believe that the student needs to remain ensconced in their studies. The Multiple Degrees Eternal Student is a nefarious schemer. This student is the only eternal student to ever actually earn a degree. And not only do they earn one degree, but they earn several. The primary goal of this type of student is to have more letters after their name than in their name. They will earn a BA and a BS and an MA, MS, MPH, JD, MBA, MD, PhD, DrPH, and on and on and on. In some ways this Eternal Student is the most talented and most conniving of all Eternal Students. Not only must they posses the intelligence and talent for earning these many degrees but they must convince others that they actually need these degrees. The danger, however, in being a Multiple Degrees eternal student is that, unlike other eternal students, these individuals have actually completed acceptable levels of education. At some point their financial support will revolt due to the immense financial burden these multiple degrees impose and the student is generally told to go ahead and utilize their degrees. The best counterattack to this type of difficulty is to be educated out of any possible job and so, after a brief interval, return to higher education. Another study bound eternal student is the Cutting Edge Eternal Student. These students study material on the cutting edge of technology. Often the world assumes these are the students who are first to venture from the confines of college life. In this the world is sorely mistaken. Most major advances in technology are made by doddering old men and women who made the mistake of leaving college and have been trying to keep up ever since. True there are your Walt Disneys and Bill Gate, the rare examples of young people achieving great technological successes. But those individuals are few and far between. The Cutting Edge Eternal Student insists on learning the latest new technology before entering the workforce, so as to be well prepared. Cleverly enough, by the time they finish learning the last skill there will be new material to be studied. The only problem with study bound eternal students is that they almost always have enough or more than enough credits to complete their degree. Parents or government officials who notice this often require the said student to graduate, putting an end to their free ride. The Multiple Minors Eternal Student manages to dodge these questions of graduation by never achieving enough credits to qualify as a major in any given subject. These students cleverly craft their schedules so as to always be without the correct requirements at the appropriate time to have continuous course study. Because of these “scheduling mistakes” the students must then take alternate classes where they “discover” new interests and the same scheduling problem arises. The most common excuse from such students is that they are using college to “expand their horizons”. Despite appearing to have a lack of foresight these students are very conscientious of timing in courses. The only difficulty with The Multiple Minor Eternal Student is that after a period of fifteen or so years lines of study become restricted. So these students can most often be found petitioning for new majors and can be thanked for many of the more curious majors found in colleges today. The Lack of Core Eternal Student is another student who fails to meet the prerequisites of graduation. These students do, however, study all the course work required of their major(s). These students refrain from graduating by failing to meet certain prerequisites of the core curriculum. They are different from The Multiple Minors Eternal Student is that their goal is to receive all credits BUT the core course whereas The Multiple Minor Eternal Student’s goal is to meet ONLY the core course requirements. Obviously The Lack of Core Eternal Student can only be found at schools with a core curriculum, preferably an extensive one. The difficulty with this method of study is that the student must work hard in their major to counter the effects of their “failed” core courses in order to not be kicked out of the school. These students are most easily found supporting the need for a “liberal arts education”; also know as a ridiculously extensive and hardly useful core class requirement. The Eternal Transfer Student also manages their education so as to avoid gaining any real credit form a given school. Often these students take a “leave of absence” to “explore” other schools. In that way they fool the schools that they attend into not giving them credit while still remaining in the college lifestyle. The Eternal Transfer Student must be very astute like The Multiple Minors Eternal Student and plan the course and schools they attend. If they are very good they can successfully fail to obtain a degree from dozens of universities. The key to this failure is choosing courses at a given school that do not transfer to another as anything more than elective credit. A subset of the Eternal Transfer Student is the Eternal Study Abroad Student, who is merely a transfer student of foreign universities. This specialized Eternal Transfer Student is slightly more difficult to maintain, due to the immense expense of foreign travel. Another common pitfall of the Study Abroad Student is to unwisely fall in love with a foreign city or person and to permanently move abroad, therefore putting to end their studies. The last and most infamous Eternal Student is simply called The Eternal Party Animal. The name speaks for itself. These students are the students who always manage to miss class because they are sleeping off a hangover. These students require very gullible PARENTS. The government cannot be conned into supporting The Party Animal’s habits for long. The most common fault among The Party Animal Students is carelessness. They are so busy partying they fail to pass enough classes to remain in school. Therefore a smart Party Animal will only attend a school that is easy and abundant with fraternities and sororities. Schools that provide that atmosphere are more likely to be lenient towards The Party Animal and let him or her thrive. The Greek System is also very supportive of the Party Animal in providing instant friends, abundant booze, and term papers. A warning to those considering The Party Animal life: most former Party Animals die of depression, cirrhosis, or venereal diseases. The privilege of Eternal Studentdom is not to be taken lightly. At no other point in your life is it a) acceptable that you not know what you are doing b) normal for people to give you excessive amounts of money and c) expected that you will do dumb things. If you doubt what I say is true just look at all the adults trying to go back to college- it can’t be done.

Common Marriage Problems - Blame Culture

Friday, March 28th, 2008

By Terry Ross I have found over the years that the blame culture is becoming an increasingly common marriage problem with partners seemingly unable to accept responsibility for anything that goes wrong in their life or their marriage. Its interesting to note that more often than not when things go wrong its always someone elses fault! So many couples seem totally unable to accept that common marriage problems and marriage problems in general are usually as a result of several contributing factors. Common marriage problems rarely occur as a result of the actions of just one person. Its very easy to lay the blame at someone elses door and its easy to see why that might occur when you consider common marriage problems as a result of say adultery but even a cheated spouse often needs to stand back and consider their part in the whole affair. Take for example a person who has lost interest in the intimate side of their marriage. Can you say they are totally blameless if their partner pushes the boundaries of the marriage vows and plays away from home? Some might say yes while others who are able to step back from the situation will see that adulterous behaviour can be as a result of common marriage problems such as lack of intimacy in a marriage. Adultery can be a symptom and not the cause of marriage problems. Following on from the same example you can then work back from the lack of intimacy in a marriage which could be as a result of another common marriage problem such as failing to make time for each other. If you are prepared to take the time to really consider the cause of an action such as adultery you will often find that in a large majority of cases there is an underlying root cause, perhaps a seemingly small common marriage problem that compounded to such a degree as to result in adultery. That doesnt mean that the partner who has committed the infidelity is blameless but what it does mean that they arent necessarily the only one at fault. The action of ignoring less notable common marriage problems is generally a fault from both sides and in such an instance where there was a underlying root cause leading up to the final act the cheated spouse cannot lay all the blame for their marriage problems at their partners door.

How Husbands Love Their Wives by Writing an Affirmative and Effective Note

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

By Dave Pipitone There are many articles that cover the mechanics for writing love letters, like the eight rules for personal love letters or writing to express your love and admiration during treasured moments. But one question is underneath the actually writing, “How do I compose a positive and loving letter to my wife?” Before I share three points of awareness that I have realized, let’s explore the top, current influences and thinking on marriage that can affect our beliefs. Let me rephrase the second half of that last sentence. Let’s examine some of the prevailing ways we think about marriage that can affect how we envision our spouses. We live in a modern society and age that is heavily influenced by a dominant media. While each of us has the power to make our own choices, it is easy to get swept away by group-think that plants weeds contrary to marriage, a husband’s role and what makes an intimate and lasting friendship. The predominant media influence is television. In the United States, movies, sitcoms and reality TV shows attract very large audiences. Whether we personally watch these shows or not, friends regularly talk about what happened on the “show.” Many of these shows depreciate how husbands contribute to a marital relationship and play up to dog fights in a marriage for the sake of amusing humor. There are even cartoon shows in prime time that poke fun at the embattled, selfish husband who has to cover up his scheming to keep his wife from finding out about his adventures, whatever those might be. The second forceful media influence is the popular print publications such as newspapers, tabloids and “relationship” periodicals. Headlines shout throughout our waking moments to sell copies about astounding revelations of celebrity divorces, separations, affairs and more. For those who devour these stories, one’s thinking is cast that this is the way marriage is supposed to be. So, what do these two situations have to do with husbands writings a positive and loving letter to their wives? In the early 1900s, James Allen wrote a very small book, “As a Man Thinketh.” Mr. Allen posed the verifiable truth, “we become what we think about.” If we husbands allow our thinking to get swept away by absorbing the prevailing media messages about husband and wives, it will be very difficult to write a positive and loving letter. The answer is to avoid the negative and create a positive environment that supports uplifting thinking and inspiring values. Where can we men look to do that? First, we need to locate and participate in a network of loving, happily married couples. This could be a marriage support group or enrichment program at church, a Marriage Encounter weekend or continuing dialog group, neighbors or families where marriage is revered.. Second, we need to observe our own thoughts. Absorb praiseworthy thoughts about marriage and about our wives. This can involve recalling the happy times in marriage and reflecting upon the traits admired most about our wives. On the action side, making plans to do more activities together reinforces the positive thinking. In his book, “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work,” Dr. John Gottmann outlines a seven week course in fondness and admiration. For five days a week, a husband considers a positive thought about his wife and then takes action upon it. When I took this course for my wife, I took the exercise to another level by creating cards for each day and then writing a note to my wife that I gave to her. Doing that really put my money on the table when I shared my thoughts like that with her. I declared my intent and was being accountable at the same time. The exercise came at the right time, when my wife’s mother entered a nursing home and our young daughter struggled with a health issue. My wife was overwhelmed by the show of personal support and affirmation. It made a real improvement in how I consciously communicated with my wife. Third, a husband’s ability to write loving words to his wife hinges on vocabulary. It is a well-known fact that women are more adept in relationships than men are. Men need to take acting lessons before they can star in the emotional intelligence theater. One way to develop a love language is to take some time to read love poems, greeting cards and samples of other love letters. It is perfectly acceptable for a husband to ask his wife what she would like him to write to her. If he makes convey to use his own feelings of fondness and admiration, a husband can write a positive and loving letter that will make a powerful impact.

Bad Habits Can Lead To Stress Related Depression

Monday, March 24th, 2008

By Christopher Ruane When a person has bad habits, you can bet that this person will have stress throughout their lifetime. For example, if a person smokes cigarettes it increases the vitals functioning capabilities, which gradually affects the heart, lungs, and other vital organs. An autopsy will tell if a person smoked or not when the person is internally evaluated. If the person was, a smoker it will show on the bodys organs and the persons lungs will be black. Now we know that a persons internal organs are pinkish and when black is current then problems occurred in the persons life. When a person has problems, stress is obviously overwhelming. Likewise, if a person drinks heavily it affects the central nervous system and reduces a persons ability to cope with stress. Heavy drinkers put their self in harms way by destroying the body and potential going to jail in the future. As you can see, bad habits can cause stress and will cause stress. When a person is born, they are often healthy and if this person avoids bad habits that cause harm then the persons life will be rewarding. If you are free of chemicals and substances that can cause you harm you will have the ability to make good decisions that offers you a successful future. Eating too much is also a bad habit that needs modified. If a person overeats regularly and avoiding exercise then this person is subject to obesity, heart failure, strokes, diabetes and so forth. We see this causes problems and problems are one of the elements that cause our stress to increase. One of the obvious bad habits that create potential dangers is stress itself. When a person is lacking the ability to manage his or her life and becomes stress every time an expectation presents itself then this bad habit too can cause harm to the body. Coping means we have the ability to manage our lives successfully without creating stressors that cause our stress to increase. Minimizing stressors can help us to live a more productive lifestyle and provide us hope when times are hard to deal with. It is never easy to eliminate a bad habit since it is obviously a ritual, but it is possible to work toward reducing and finally eliminating the habits that cause us stress. If you are use to smoking a cigarette after each meal then tell your self that today you are going to drink water instead of smoking after a meal. If you drink coffee and it opens your smoking cravings up, then start drinking orange juice, milk or some other healthy beverage. If you are a heavy drinker, tell your self every day that you are worth saving. Sit down and review with your self the many problems you are facing and if some are less severe than others are. If you are often late paying your bills then you know that this is a problem, so you will need to learn and practice paying your bills on time. When you do not pay your bills on time, late charges occur or shut-off notices following. As you can see, we all cause many of our own problems, which initiate stress. Sitting down and evaluating our situation and decisions can help bring forth rewards by seeing the problems we created and learning how to eliminate the problems in our lives. For example if you are often late for work then you know you have a bad habit that can cost you your job. You may think that losing your job is not a problem, since someone else will hire you, but loosing your job is not the only problem in the picture. If you continue to adhere to your behaviors by being late for work, you are going to get a bad repetition with businesses. Business owners talk amongst other owners. Now you can permanent displacement is potential, poverty, potential crime, and so forth. We are adding to the list of problems by ignoring or not accepting that our bad habits are the leading cause of uncontrolled stress. Our decisions are at the top of the list that determines if our stress is overwhelming or not. When behaviors cause stress, it is time to make some changes.

Trust in Intimate Relationship

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

By Karinna Kittles-Karsten It is a probability that most of us have been touched by the hurt of betrayal or abandonment in an intimate relationship, whether by a parent, lover, friend, wife, or husband. On the cover of tabloids we see stories daily of people cheating on one another and leaving long-term relationships for someone new. These popular negative messages and familiar experiences can make anyone feel pessimistic about love and become fearful if there really is a relationship that could be worthy of their trust. Trustworthy relationships do exist and in them we find both individuals and relationships that are thriving. But how does one go about finding and experiencing a trusting, intimate relationship? Creating a trustworthy relationship can be accomplished with the following steps: Piercing Through the Veil of the First Intoxication Our eyes can be blinded by love. In a cloud of initial admiration we can get swept away in just the possibility of love. The intoxication of this experience is powerful, and for the moments we are in it we can feel like life is at its best. In these moments we can project all of our dreams onto the person we desire. And whether this individual is able to or not, they become pinned as the highway to our happiness and fulfillment. Attraction to one or several qualities in another can be immediate; however, it is important to regard what lies beneath the initial appeal. Trust Our Own Knowing Intuition can be one of our greatest allies when seeking an intimate relationship that is worthy of our trust. First intuitions can be right and often we forget them quickly. Trust your own knowing of what feels right to you and what doesnt. Dont be afraid to question your perceptions. You will most often find out that there is validity to your hunches. Present Discernment Seeing clearly what is right in front of us is an important skill for creating an intimate relationship that we can trust. Many of us have found ourselves falling into that well intended pitfall of seeing the potential in someone. Our projections of someone can leave us living in the hope of the future and illusions instead of trusting what is present right now. Figuring out who we can trust can be difficult when we ourselves are challenged with being blind-sighted. For instance, we might be kept from seeing someones potential (or limitations) as an emotionally committed partner if he or she has a hard time communicating their affectionate and love to us or cant keep their eyes and hands off other people. Another example would be banking solely on the potential in an individuals worldly success if he or she were not already committed to a path of success in their lives. People are capable of amazing feats of change, especially when they are committed to self-reflection and growth. However, awareness and discernment of what values, strengths, patterns, pursuits and actions are present within a person in the present moment will more accurately define who that person is and will become. By taking our rose-colored glasses off and taking a good thorough look at what is right in front of us we are more capable of gauging a person we can trust. Act with Integrity If you seek a trustworthy intimate partner, be the person you wish to be in relationship with. Speak honestly, keep your word, and act with integrity with yourself and the person you love as well as with other people. It is important to resource ourselves with real nourishment, self-love, exercise, spiritual wisdom, and also with healthy foods, thoughts, and activities. If we do not fill ourselves with real nourishment we come to a relationship from a place of emptiness. Emptiness produces wanting and neediness that creates a variety of behaviors that push away what we really want in a loving, trusting, healthy relationship. For instance, emotional neediness can alienate a potentially wonderful intimate partner and good friend. Physical wanting can turn into provoking the sexual attention of your coworkers, flirting with your friends partners, and having indiscriminant sex. These behaviors are signs of emptiness and a lack of self-love that produces distrust of your character and the opposite of what you really desire. Take care of yourself so that your inner being is harmonious and integrated. Overcoming Hurt If you have been hurt by an untrustworthy partner it is hard to want to trust again or to fully commit to being trustworthy yourself, however that just creates a pattern of disharmony and untrustworthiness in your life. Even though it may be challenging, create a trustworthy identity through your words and actions that will develop more trust in yourself and draw more trust into your life. Surround Yourself with Trustworthy People Take the time to assess the people in your life and be honest with yourself if each friend and close relationship that you have surrounded yourself with acts with trustworthiness. By analyzing your relationships you will see how much trust is already in your life and where you need to create more. Creating a support system of trustworthy people will help you cultivate better discernment for developing a trustworthy, intimate relationship. Trusting Relationship If you are seeking a loving relationship that you can trust, you must make decisions more thoughtfully, more wisely, with deeper connectivity to your intuition rather than your hormones or mental rational. Be clear about what is present in a prospective partner and relationship, act with trustworthiness and integrity, and surround yourself with people you can trust. Developing trust more fully allows us the opportunity to experience feeling safe in loving relationships. Then we can begin to open our hearts, relax our bodies, and share our dreams to our greatest ability with a partner truly worthy of our trust. Copyright 2005.

Now Tenants Can Also Acquire Personal Loans

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Peter_Taylor]Peter Taylor Personal loans for tenants- it sounds surprising, isnt it? But let me assure you that now not only homeowners but tenants also deserve to acquire personal loans and can fulfill their all personal desires. Now owning a home is not the pre requisite criteria to avail personal loans. Personal tenant loans, a special privilege for tenants, are a sort of unsecured loan. Therefore, you do not need to pledge any property against the loan amount. But, do not forget that lenders will check your credit history before providing a personal tenant loan. In such cases, they may take help of credit rating agencies and lenders will also judge whether you are capable to repay the amount or not. However, to qualify for a personal tenant loan, you will have to meet the following criteria: Full time employment. Your account must have a direct debt card acceptance facility Evidence for your identity and residence A contact number, it could be a mobile or landline number. As a personal tenant loan, you can borrow the amount ranging from 1,000 to 50,000. And the repayment period varies from 1-25 years. At the same time, you should bear in your mind that these loans are offered at high rate of interest due to the absence of collateral. Though, by negotiating with lenders, you can make the interest rate in your favour. You may think that as the risk of collateral repossession is not present with personal tenant loans, thus if you fail to repay the amount then it wont be a big problem. No, this is not true. In that case though your property wont be repossessed by the lender, but the lender will harasses you by taking some legal actions. And, no doubt it will spoil your mental peace. So, be sure at first about your repayment capacity then avail a personal tenant loan. At the time of applying personal tenant loans, few documents are required to submit along with the loan application. These are like, three years accommodation and address details, three years employment history etc. Thus, availing personal tenant loans may be tougher for those who have recently changed address or job. As personal loans have been customized for tenant as well, therefore with these loans, now tenants can transform their dreamy desires in the realm of reality. Some common purposes, where tenants are using personal loans these days are as follows: Arranging a holiday trip Wedding purpose Buying a new car Investing to own their own abode and so on. Personal tenant loan- it is a lucrative opportunity for tenants to shape their personal desires. With these loans now they can fulfill their all personal dreams and for that needless to say that they do not need to pledge any security.

Asthma Treatment and You - Overcome Your Asthma Naturally

Monday, March 17th, 2008

By Foras Aje From my very first Asthma attack at the age of seven till my last one about 5 years ago, Asthma (along with acne in my teenage and early adult years) had been a health problem that I had to deal with. Needless to say, those were some depressing years. Depressing because I had been told my doctors, family and friends that there wasnt a cure for Asthma, heck my pastor even went as far as to say that along with my acne, in every thing give thanks for this is the will of God for you Alas, they were all wrong. Asthma can be cured and naturally at that. My belief is if it worked for me, it can definitely work for anyone plagued by this disease. I was so vulnerable to this respiratory disorder that even the slightest friendly pat on the back would ignite an asthma attack characterized by wheezes, gasps, and cough spells, that could last as long as a week. This went on till I stumbled on Drugless Healing and its abilities to alleviate so-called incurable diseases. This method of healing involves the use of Proper Diet, Exercise and mental attunements and can be applied to an Asthma treatment regimen as well for great benefits. Let me show you how: First of all, lets start with its definition. Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the bronchial tubes (airways) that causes swelling and narrowing (constriction) of the airways. The result is difficulty breathing. The bronchial narrowing is usually either totally or at least partially reversible with treatments. Thats its definition in the medical fraternity, but based on my experiences, I will simply choose to believe that Asthma, like any other disease known to man, is a result of a clogging of the human bodily tissues which is a 99.99% consequence of eating disease/mucus forming foods, which include (but are not limited to) Animal foods such as meat, milk, cheese and eggs, Grains and their by products, processed and junk foods. Abstinence from the products above is a must and a fact that has been in effect in several asthma treatment programs aimed at correcting respiratory health such as the “Breath Retaining Program For Asthmatics” developed by the Russian, Dr. Buteyko. Within weeks of adhering to this advice, many chronic asthmatics have been able to give up the use of ventolin inhalers. Therefore, the first step in achieving a successful asthma treatment will simply be to make a change in your diet by avoiding mucus forming foods and adhering to consuming their direct opposites, the body healing/alkaline forming foods. These include Seasonal, Organic Fruits, Roots and Leafy Vegetables and very little nuts. It may sound boring or unrealistic but, if curing your asthma (or any disease or condition you may have as a matter of fact) is your goal, this sacrifice is well worth it. Besides, with so many fruits and vegetables to choose from, abstinence from Acid-forming foods shouldnt be difficult at all. In addition to all of the facts mentioned above, based on scientific research, the human body goes through a cleansing process from twelve midnight until twelve noon, and a building program from twelve noon to twelve midnight. Therefore, what is eaten during these respective periods must be harmonious with the natural processes. That said a suggested menu plan will be 1. Fresh squeezed Fruit Juice for breakfast. 2. A mono-meal of a juicy, seasonal fruit for lunch 3. A fresh home-made salad, steamed root and/or leafy vegetables or a wise combination of all three for dinner. Also, do not consume liquids of any kind with your meals as this practice hinders digestion by diluting the juices in the stomach. This brings about a constriction of the diaphragm, inhibiting its natural motions needed for respiration. If there is a natural thirst (as with an alkaline forming diet, thirst is minimal as an added benefit) drink only enough to quench your desire with pure distilled water at least an hour before or after your meals and certainly 2 hours at least before going to bed. Strictly avoid the use of Microwaves (you may refer to my personal experience with them in the section of my site concerning Acne)-the source of information on this is issued at the end of Chapter 13 in the downloadable e-book, but for a brief overview of this topic the balancing of specific foods is not the only important aspect of a healthy diet, but as important is the manner in which the foods are cooked. Other things to avoid are excessively cold drinks, excessive exposure to cold, air-conditioning, heaters (without the use of humidifiers and a cracked window for fresh air during winter times-Hint: sleep closer to the cracked window, while I lived in Minneapolis, MN for two years that was my trick to ensure I was properly ventilated at night), fans etc. Also, avoid at all costs eating conventional fruits they are loaded with disease forming pesticides and sprays that upon consumption wreak havoc on the respiratory organs, take it from this author, I learned this the hard way! With proper breathing techniques as offered for free on my site and a suggested adherence to the dietetic principles above, be assured that you are well on your way to curing your asthma naturally and permanently. Asthma need not be a part of your life anymore, you, like many others can control it and make it a thing of your past.

How to Avoid Carbohydrate Trigger Foods

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

By Glenn Freiboth Many of us will go too long between meals and then we will reach for a quick fix that is loaded with carbohydrates. The problem with doing this is that it just spikes our blood sugar then causes it to fall dramatically. Foods with high sugar content like cookies, white bread, sodas and chips have virtually no nutritional value and only add empty calories to your daily intake which is just increasing your risk for gaining weight and getting diabetes. It is relatively easy to avoid these cravings and urges if you will be disciplined and follow some simple guidelines. I recommend that you break your meals up into four to six meals spread evenly throughout the day so that you are eating something every 2-3 hours. How you do this will depend upon you metabolism and your activity level. Doing this will stabilize your blood sugar levels, keep your metabolism operating at an optimum level, and reduce cravings. Another thing you will need to do is some house cleaning. You need to go into your cupboard and your refrigerator and toss out all of the bad stuff like the chips and cookies and all white foods because they are refined. Try to stick with pure fruit juices and not those from the store with sugar added to them. If you can only eat three regular meals make sure that you keep some kind of healthy snack with you like nuts, fresh veggies, and low fat protein drinks. This will keep you from popping coins in a snack machine and eating some garbage with the nutritional value of cardboard plus it will make you feel better and keep you energized all day. Cut back on the caffeine and that includes not just coffee but diet drinks and tea as well. Also avoid the new fitness drinks like Red Bull, they all contain artificial stimulants that will just give you a quick rush that will soon drop plus they can be dangerous. You dont have to quit cold turkey. If you are one of those that drinks four or five diet drinks a day or three to four cups of coffee just begin by cutting them in half. The bottom line is that by eating healthier you will get the energy you seek through the better nutrition you are giving your body. It is not going to happen overnight it will take a little adjustment for you body to respond. If you want it to work better, I suggest going on a four to seven day fast of water and organic juices to cleanse your body and prepare it for the new lifestyle, especially if you have been eating really bad. As always drink plenty of water to help your body flush out toxins and remain hydrated.

When The Job Kills, What Next?

Monday, March 10th, 2008

By Laurie Sheppard You say the job is killing you. Here are some questions to help you assess your situation clearly before you chuck it all. What happened, you or them? Somewhere along the line things changed. Your role shifted. Your work became redundant. Your boss became unbearable. Your co-workers dont respect you anymore. Something started looking different. How much of this is due to other people and what is your responsibility? Is the problem all work-related or have you experienced changes in your personal life? Determine the weak links, because wherever they are, if you dont identify them and correct them now, youll bring those problems with you to your next job. Do you know your strengths and weaknesses? If the problem centers with you, then before you decide on a career change, go to counseling, hire a coach, or do what it takes for you to regain your confidence and be able to make a clear, reason-based decision. You cant afford to be one of the walking wounded at this job or in looking for new work. If you try to pass yourself off as passionate and ready for new opportunities, then you will likely show up as inauthentic. Its time to do an assessment of your strengths and weaknesses - behaviorally and in transferable skills. Sit down. Write them out. Undervaluing as well as over-inflating yourself and your capabilities does a disservice to your job search. Accurately assess the expertise you bring to this field or any new field youre considering. What do you want? If you dont clearly visualize your ideal work, youll always be treating symptoms of a deeper pain of dissatisfaction. What excites you? Where do you shine? What are your high-priority values? What do you prefer but could live without? What do you absolutely want in your work type and work environment? What would you be giving up? Assess your pain quotient. No one else can do that for you. Your current gripes may have caused you to lose touch with what benefits the job held in the first place. Make a list of positives and negatives to rate your job experience. Its important to know what youll be giving up or, if you stay, what youll change to stop the pain. Weigh the positives against any risks in not being able to replace them in new work. Will you jog or sprint to the exit door or avoid it altogether? If you have decided its worth staying where you are, whats possible to change? You might be able to offload or share undesired duties, such as extensive business travel, late night or weekend work. Set up talk time with your supervisor to make changes and lay out a recommended plan of how it can still work well without you doing it. If you can hire your own assistants, then do it. If youve decided to leave the job, be sure your resources are in place and you can cope with a temporary lack of security. Devote this time to reevaluating your needs and laying out a clear job search action plan. However, if you have a low threshold for uncertainty, or cant permit a break in income, line up a new job that meets all your criteria first. With any of these choices to stay, go now or leave later, youll need patience to accept the transition time. Yet, isnt it worth it to know youre the one creating the opportunity for more fulfilling work? Thinking of leaving your job? Here are the important issues to weigh. Not sure you shouldnt stay and work out the problems? Measure the risks against the benefits.
