Surfing Your Adrenalin Wave
Posted by: | CommentsFeel that rising tide of anger? Surf’s up! Start paddling.
Whenever we feel angry or frustrated, we get a blast of adrenalin coursing through our bloodstream. In the fight or flight response to stress, our bodies rely on our appendages. We need to hit, kick, jump or run away, and our bodies help out by sending extra blood to our limbs.
If we were living in the wild and had to actually fight off a predator or run away to escape, this would make perfect sense. But in a typical day, we just don’t need those survival mechanisms like we used to. In fact, we do our best to thwart our body’s response to stress by suppressing our physical reactions.
Why Relax?
Posted by: | CommentsExperts have determined that heart disease is connected to anger and. Too much stress can lead to or cause a heart attack. Relaxation takes on extra meaning in light of this matter. Managing your anger and attitude is important to heart health, and relaxation can help you manage stress. We will examine some ways that relaxation can be effectively achieved. Hopefully one will appeal to you.
One method of relaxation is transcendental meditation. Studies have shown that this method may lessen artery blockage, which is a major cause for heart attack and stroke. The researchers found that practitioners of transcendental meditation radically reduced the thickness of their arterial wall.
Learning To Be Responsible
Posted by: | CommentsLearning responsibility is an ever widening and lifelong
process.
As thinking, acting human beings we have the ability to choose our response
to events, people and circumstances. We do not become responsible when
we mature; we mature when we become responsible.
Psychologists teach that the only reasons people are ever motivated or
moved to action is to gain a reward or avoid a penalty. As you teach this
principal to the children in your charge be sure to explain what they will
gain or lose by the choices they make.
ME: I am in charge of those things that directly affect me as a person.
Divorce – Moving On And Setting Up A New House
Posted by: | CommentsWhen it comes to the divorce, you may not get the house. In fact, neither of you may end up with the house, so you will need to learn how to move on and set up a new house for your comfort. Maybe you will look for an apartment, condo, or you may find yourself wanting to purchase a home.
You will want to be sure that you know what you want in the divorce. You may want the house, but not fight for it and lose it. You may also want the house and get it, but then you realize you can’t afford the place by yourself. You may end up single, with children, and no income or little income. It can be hard for you to move on and purchase a home.
Start Your Own Coaching
Posted by: | CommentsHave you ever been a coach to a neighborhood team? I know how it feels the first time I’ve coached a team of seven-year-old soccer kids and how much they can really test my patience, not to mention sanity as they run around kicking the ball like ants to a huge, white crumb. It feels strange at first, having to be stared at by a bunch of kids who they will know that I’m not the one in the field. Sounds wrong in a sense, right? But what is the dead about coaching?
A Close Look At Wisdom Teeth
Posted by: | CommentsAlso known as the third set of molars, the wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth in the mouth to erupt, which normally happens around the ages of 17 – 25. For many years, there has been a lot of controversy as to the need to remove these teeth. If the teeth don’t cause any harm or pain, they are normally fine to stay in place. If they present a bad position or cause you a lot of pain or discomfort, they will need to be removed.
Zits- What Do I Need To Know About Them
Posted by: | CommentsZits, or pimples, affect almost everyone at some stage of their life. Zits are yukky, unsightly, and usually a part of growing up.
However it can be useful to know a little bit about them when you are approaching the age when zits may become a part of your life.
Firstly, zits aren’t restricted to teenagers as most think. Zits can affect people at any age. It is estimated that anything up to 50% of adult women have a case of zits at some stage in their life after their teen years. Even adult men get zits, although not as frequently as women. And babies.
Homeopathy
Posted by: | CommentsHomeopathy is a form of alternative medicine used for over 200 years. Introduced to America in the early 1800s, homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars (“like cures like”). Homeopathy is still used very effectively in patients around the globe.
Homeopathy is different from conventional medicine as it attempts to stimulate the body to heal itself. In homeopathy, signs of the body’s attempt to heal itself could be as subtle as coughing through a cold; instead of suppressing our coughs, homeopathic remedies will cause the cough to be more productive. A natural medicine, homeopathy may be a beneficial alternative to conventional medicine. Homeopathy is also a form of orthomolecular medicine, as well.
Meditation To Unlock Your Hidden Potential – Part 1
Posted by: | CommentsMeditation is often misunderstood by those who do not practice it. Very often, I hear meditation referred to as, “altered states of consciousness.” That sounds more like intoxicants, rather than bringing clarity to a cluttered mind. Without going too deep into what meditation is, or is not, let’s focus on one of the many things a daily meditation practice can do for you.
Meditation is commonly seen in many Yoga classes, but it has been practiced by a variety of cultures, including Roman Catholic priests, as well as Japanese Samurai, who practiced a form of Zen meditation. I mention this so you can see the full spectrum of meditation and its many facets.
