Relationships: Fear of Rejection = Self Sabotage

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

By Nick Arrizza, M.D. I’m sure many of you have had a failed relationship in your past where you may have been rejected by your former mate. This can leave a deeply embedded wound in your mind/body that you then carry into future relationships. Apart from the hurt, sadness and pain associated with such a wound there is also an over arching “fear of rejection” that can set in. If you’ve ever pondered the purpose of such a fear inside of you, you might have come to the conclusion that such conditioning was there to protect you the next time you found yourself venturing towards a new relationship. Is this however true? Let’s look at what the consequences of carrying such a fear are for you. Let’s suppose you are entering into a new relationship and you find yourself “feeling” this fear, notice, as you feel it what it does to you. I think you will notice some or all of the following: a reluctance to be open and honest about who you are and what you think and feel (i.e. unable to become fully intimate with your friend), a feeling of tenseness, nervousness, feeling like your emotional self is shut down, untrusting, fearful, guarded, a tendency to draw back, uneasy, uncomfortable and so on. So how do you think this will be perceived and felt by your friend? Well if you’re not sure, put the shoe on the other foot and assume that it is your friend who is in this state. How does he/she feel to you? Well I’m sure he/she will feel distant, cold, untrustworthy, as if there is a lot that is being held back from you, not fully present, anxious, and a bit of a downer, to name a few. So how inspiring does such an individual feel to you? Not very I’m sure! The most likely outcome is that this relationship is already doomed from the start. That is you risk another painful ending once again thus further adding to the trauma that you carry. So you see the maxim here is that trauma from unsuccessful past relationships must be healed before engaging a new one otherwise you are setting yourself up for a repetition of the past. Time alone will not heal such trauma only push it underground where you will have even less awareness of its negative affects on you. Releasing such trauma can be done quickly and easily through a new modality called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) which I have written extensively about.

Three Thoughtful Reasons NOT To Change A Man

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

By Priya Shah This article could have been titled “Three Thoughtful Reasons NOT To Change A Person,” because it applies to everyone, man or woman. But since women are usually the ones trying to change men, it seemed more appropriate to address it to you girls. If there’s one thing that all those years of married life have taught me, it’s that attempting to change a man is an exercise in futility. But my reasons for not trying to change men have less to do with resigning myself to undesirable behaviour, than with mutual respect and consideration for a man’s feelings. Here’s why I think it’s not fair to men that we keep trying to change them. 1. He’s entitled to his opinions and free will I’m a big believer in a persons right to exercise his free will. As long as he blames no one but himself and is willing to accept the consequences of his actions, a man should have the right to make his own mistakes and learn from them. Respect his opinions and let him be. And the next time you try to make him change his ways, imagine how YOU would feel if the tables were turned. 2. He will never change for the wrong reasons The wrong reasons include threats, manipulation, coercion and other underhanded methods. And no, you’re not allowed to use hypnosis or sex either. Play fair. 3. He will change only for the right reasons The right reasons are inner-driven, and arise only when his actions create enough pain for him to desperately want to make a change. When he is sufficiently motivated to change, hell do it regardless of your wanting him to do it. If he does decide to change, support him every step of the way, and get help for him and yourself. And what should I do if he doesn’t want to change, you say? Well, then you don’t have too many options, and the ones you have may not be all that attractive. But here’s what you can do if his actions are causing you pain. - Let Him Know Your man may not even be aware that his behaviour is affecting you adversely. After all hes not as intuitive as you are and cant read your mind. So tell him what you feel. If he cares a lot about you, he may be motivated to change. - Change Yourself Susan Page, author of “How One of You Can Bring the Two of You Together,” believes that for every action there is always an equal, opposite reaction, and that one persons fundamental shift toward “good will” can lay the foundation for a better relationship. Based on that premise, all it should take to change your man is to change yourself. I have my reservations about this approach, but don’t really see any harm in trying it as long as you don’t go overboard in trying to change yourself for his benefit. If it doesn’t change him it might help you deal with some of your own issues. - Give Up Control What are you anyway, some kind of control freak? You only have control over your own thoughts and actions, not over the actions of other people. Your penance is to say the “Serenity Prayer” out loud ten times a day. Go do it now, girl. - Live With It If you can convince yourself that his behaviour is not all that bad, or youve already invested too much in the relationship to leave, then learn to live with it, desensitise, detach, or minimise your exposure to it. Itll prepare you well for learning to live with his mother. - Walk, Leave, Vamoose If his behaviour is too painful, if its affecting your health and self-esteem, then the kindest thing you can do for both of you, is to walk away from the situation. Sometimes the best option is to make a fresh start. That way you’ll be able to attract someone more suited to your needs the next time around.

Marriage - Are You Facing Emotional Abuse?

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

By CD Mohatta Those who have control and power can inflict emotional abuse. It is as bad as physical abuse. Some people call emotional abuse as worse than physical abuse. Let us discuss about emotional abuse. Emotional abuse may leave deep scars on the psyche. In emotional abuse the perpetrator withholds all the emotional satisfaction from the victim. The self-dignity of the victim is bruised repeatedly and he/she is shown as a lesser person. Emotional abuse can take many forms. Devaluing the person is one such abuse. Giving no value to a persons intelligence and opinion, and repeatedly questioning his/her intelligence is one such abuse. Public humiliation of a person is another kind of this abuse. To make someone feel inferior and laugh at him/her and make others join the fun is another form of emotional abuse. Feeling of safety is our emotional need. to make a person feel unsafe is another way of victimization. Threatening to leave that person alone without any help and terrorizing him/her is one such form. Taking away financial freedom, making the person totally dependent on the abuser is another common abuse. Lack of money can stop the victim from enjoying some pleasures. Some abusers even withdraw the use of communication instruments such as telephone etc from the victim. Emotional abuse can take many other such forms. these abusers are sadists who enjoy degrading a human being and destroying their emotional freedom. This is a crime against humanity. If you are undergoing the slightest emotional; abuse, please protest and protect yourself.

Morning Cardio - Necessary for Weight Loss

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

By Craig Ballantyne Q: I read that it is best to do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, so that you burn more fat. Is this true? Answer:Thanks for the email. It is always worth going over again. Here’s the deal. 9 times out of 10, exercising first thing in the morning wont’ help you lose fat faster. On the other hand, it probably won’t make you lose muscle (which has always been one of the knocks against early morning cardio). You might burn a little bit more fat proportionally, but in the big picture, that probably doesn’t mean much. But there’s only one way for you to find out. Give it a try for 3-4 weeks. That will be enough time for you to make a solid judgement about this training method and how it works for YOU. I’ve found that simply following a program of strength training followed by interval training has worked as well or better (and always faster) than the slow cardio approach. I want you to think like a bodybuilder. Every bodybuilder knows that they don’t gain muscle during a workout. Heck no, during the workout they breakdown the muscle so that it can recover and grow during the post-exercise period. And that’s how fat loss works with strength and interval training. Here’s what happens. During the intense, but short workout, you deplete your muscle energy stores and you cause some muscle damage. That makes your body burn a good amount of calories during the workout, but it burns even more calories after your workout during the post-exercise period. And that increases in calorie and fat burning can last for over 24 hours. Normal cardio doesnt do that. It only burns calories during the session. So that’s why we dont’ bother with normal cardio, let alone cardio on an empty stomach. Craig Ballantyne is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and writes for Men’s Health, Men’s Fitness, Maximum Fitness, Muscle and Fitness Hers, and Oxygen magazines. His trademarked Turbulence Training fat loss workouts have been featured multiple times in Mens Fitness and Maximum Fitness magazines and all over the Internet, and have helped thousands of men and women around the world lose fat, gain muscle, and get lean in less than 45 minutes three times per week.

Planning Your Wedding with a Wedding Planner

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

By Leslie Gibbon Your Wedding day is supposed to be the most special day of your life and so, if you can afford it, it can make a great deal of sense to get a professional wedding planner to take care of the arrangements and leave you to enjoy the big day. There is so much pressure and stress involved with coordinating all of the details of a wedding, that I am always amazed, how not only the bride and her family, but the engagement itself survives the process! It is very, very important that your wedding planner not only be well qualified, be very experienced, and have verifiable references (and that you do verify them), but you also will want to ensure that he or she has the type of personality that you can get along well with. Communication is the best way to ensure that your wedding planer delivers your plans the way that you envisaged also dont be afraid to ask questions to make sure that things are the way you want them to be. Dont leave getting to know your wedding planner till the last minute. It may be a good idea to invest the time to meet with potential wedding planners as many as two or three times, and note the dynamics between your two personalities. You should also call them a few times to see how easy it is to reach them, and how they react to you when you are calling without an appointment to do so. The better you know them the easier it will be to talk to them and discuss how you want things arranged. The main thing to consider before hiring, is how to choose a wedding planner that is suitable for you. When you interview wedding planners you want to be sure this person or group has the right degree of assertiveness. You want them to ‘take charge’ in negotiations on your behalf and to be able to compel vendors and other 3rd parties to give you what you need. So make sure that they can deliver what you want from them. Although it is obviously best to keep the relationship on a friendly basis, this is your wedding and you need to make sure that it is the wedding you want and not the one the wedding planner thinks is best for you. That said it is always a good idea to listen to someone who has a great deal of experience but ultimately the decision is yours. This means, for instance, that (within reason) you reserve the right to change your mind on any issue that has not been written in stone, e.g., reservations, or fees paid. You can always ask the wedding planner what research they have done and ask to see the different quotes before deciding This also means that you can disagree with their assessment of a particular 3rd party vendor, venue, design, or whatever, and they will cordially defer to your wishes. But it is always a good idea to keep things on a friendly basis. If you want to disagree then do so in a friendly manner, but still make sure that you are happy. The most important thing of all is to make sure that you maintain a regular communication with your wedding planner. This does not just mean they have a cell phone, which can have answering services, but they should have a pager, as well; maybe even a couple of different ways for you to reach them, during normal business hours, at a moment’s notice (this can be critical in the last few days before the wedding). You do not want your wedding to be spoiled by worries that can easily be allied by a simple message. You also need to have a good contract with your wedding planner that details what you want and expect and what they will receive in remuneration. All of these issues should be agreed to in writing, before you sign any contracts with your wedding planner. As well, you want to be sure your wedding planner understands that you require that all agreements made on your behalf be legally binding. Documentation should allow clauses that include what legal recourse you would have if either the wedding planner, or any of the 3rd parties that they contract on your behalf, do not perform to agreed specifications. The best way to ensure that things go smoothly with your wedding planner is to make sure that everything is clear from the outset, that way you should be able to look forward to a happy and stress free wedding. ———————————————- For more information about weddings visit:http://weddings.info-revealed.com/ Leslie Gibbon.http://www.lesliegibbon.com Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Leslie_Gibbon http://EzineArticles.com/?Planning-Your-Wedding-with-a-Wedding-Planner&id=149393 excel his template then free her macintosh or mortgage then calculator got fre see real each estate through loan after mortgage also refinance got mortgage most interest those self very employed her taxes said mortgage of broker some california about loan he agent are

10 No-Cost Powerful Marketing Strategies that will make you more profits.

Monday, August 20th, 2007

By Kenneth Ajoku How many of us have a huge marketing budget? If you are like me then you know that you have to make every penny that you spend on marketing really count. Marketing is not as difficult as you may think. Here are 10 NO-COST marketing tips to help you make more profits for your business. All you will have to do is invest some time and effort. Here they are: 1.Always spell your customers name correctly. Check the correct spelling and spell it correctly every time. You will be surprised the impact that this has. 2.Recognise your customers voice and greet them by name, whether they are on the phone or when you meet them at your premises. Your customer will feel extremely valued. 3.Remember specific things about your customers and bring them up when you are conversing, e.g. details about their child, for example he or she has just graduated, just married or whatever topic that your customer likes to talk about. This gives your customer a warm feeling, makes your customer feel that they have a personal connection with you and shows that you are actually interested in them. 4.Know what your customer likes. The best way to describe this is to give the bar scenario, the usual then, this makes your customer feel special and valued. 5.Under promise and over deliver. For example, you have promised to delivery an item for your customer, you know very well that you can delivery it by the next day. Promise to delivery by say the end of the week and then deliver it the next day. This has a dual purpose, firstly the customer would be very impressed with the speedy delivery and secondly it gives you some slack in case you encounter any unforeseen delays (which the customer would never need to know about, hence avoiding disappointment and giving satisfaction) 6.Always remember to thank your customers, especially in the case of receiving referrals. There is nothing worst than a customer telling their friend, associate or colleague for example I recommended x and I did not even get a thank you bad news travels faster than good news; make sure that the only news travelling is all good. 7.Always get feedback from your customers; this is an excellent strategy to use to help you improve your services and get even more sales. 8.In your advert copy give a deadline to encourage a quick customer response. Examples include order before x date to receive x % discount, limited offer ends x date. This will prompt your customer to act quickly. 9.Word-of-mouth marketing is extremely powerful yet under utilised “find ways to do what you do so well and so uniquely that your customers cannot resist telling lots of other people about you.” 10.Its the little things that make the biggest difference. Add little things that your customers will appreciate. For example, free guides, hints, tips for using your product or service or even a discount voucher for complimentary items.

Planning Dream Wedding Receptions - Part 1: The Art of Brainstorming

Monday, August 20th, 2007

By Kathi Dameron Planning a dream wedding reception is not difficult. Any bride can do this. You can do this. All you need to do is follow these simple steps and you will be on your way to creating a wedding reception that will pop with personality and panache! You are going to engage in some fun brainstorming. Step 1: Get a nice big doodle notebook. Like the kind artists use. Newsprint paper or fine drawing paper… the choice is yours. There are options to fit any budget. If your budget is super tight, look around the house for something or pick up a roll or two of newspaper print from your local newspaper. Many newspapers give the end rolls away for free. The amazing thing is there is always plenty of newsprint still on the roll. Who said there is nothing for free in the world today? Newsprint is great to keep on hand for wrapping dishes, crystal, and other breakables too. Step 2: Get a fun collection of markers or colored pens. Writing with glitter markers is fun. Glitter just makes everything so special. Since the glitter stays in the ink you won’t have to worry about having to clean up a mess afterwards. Now that is a real plus in my book. Step 3: Prepare a nice beverage, put on a favorite cd, light a candle or some incense and say a prayer. Set the stage for inspiration. Ambiance and a sense of tranquility will allow your inner authenticity an opportunity to breathe in vibrant ways. Step 4: On a large sheet of paper list everything that comes to your mind when you think about what you want your reception to be. This is a no-holds barred activity. Brainstorm away! Be as outrageous and wild as you want! The idea is to get a real pulse beat on your passions. At this stage it does not matter how far fetched and unrealistic your desires are. They are your desires and they are truly worthy of being identified and celebrated. List everything! Put your heart and soul into this activity. Are we having fun yet? That is all I want you do at this stage. Just focus on everything you would like your reception to be. In Part 2 we will look at how to prioritize all the wonderful, beautiful and simply outrageous desires you captured on your page(s). 2006 Kathi Dameron, Kathi Dameron and Associates Note To Publishers: You are invited to share this article through your ezine, website or print publication provided you publish this article in its entirety and include the copyright statement, bio information, active website links and contact information for Kathi Dameron and Associates as provided in the resource section at the bottom of the article.

Beyond the Booth

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

By Leanne Hoagland-Smith With the advent of spring, trade shows begin to blossom. Research suggests that tradeshows are where todays businesses invest much of their marketing budgets. According to EXPO Magazine, in 2005 revenue expenditures from booth sales will increase 27%! As these shows and conferences continue to grow in space and numbers, the challenge for businesses becomes how to maximize these shows to secure the greatest return on investment both in dollars and time. Define the Goal - Successful trade show marketing begins by first defining the desired end results to be achieved from attendance at the show. This goal should be written using the S.M.A.R.T. criteria Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistically Set High and Time Driven. Sometimes, several desired results are defined such as: identifying potential competitors; identifying potential customers; determining if this is a trade show where my company should exhibit next year; learn what the competition is saying about our product(s), etc. Through these written goals, then decisions can be made as to the number of people to send and what type of people should the company send e.g. engineers, sales, marketing, etc. Without identifying the initial goals, companies will receive costly unexpected and unanticipated outcomes. Ready, Set, Stop! - Goals are set, but there is still more planning before you walk through the exhibit hall doors. Do you know what you wish to learn from each exhibitor? The goal is maybe to identify the competition, but how you operationalize that goal is different for the companys engineer vs. the companys salesperson. Communication: The Key - Given that tradeshows are the “Mecca” for communication both verbally and non-verbally, the key is to be able to deliver in less than 15 seconds what you or your company does. If your tag line is delivered in an engaging manner, your visitor will ask a second question allowing for a dialogue to begin. Communication extends beyond your tag line. Calendars need to be blocked out to return all those promised telephone calls and send out any promised information. Follow-up communication planning is critical to achieving your goals. Creating a post-event mailing piece such as a thank you note and having them available upon your return will enhance goal achievement. The Engagement The Spot Light Is On - The doors open and all eyes are on you and your booth especially if you secured a high traffic booth. You are the consummate professional with the proper tools (business cards, pen, highlighter, Palm, exhibit hall map), professional appearance and your warm, energetic and engaging smile. Now is the time for all that planning to pay. During breaks, you may wish to use the time to walk the exhibit hall to make necessary, legible notes regarding booths, products, etc. Look to those exhibits that seem to draw attendees to them. In case you see old friends, acknowledge them, but dont linger as this keeps you from achieving your goals. At all times, keep your goal in mind so that you maximize your personal resources of time and energy. Before the event closes, check with registration to secure any available statistics such as a count of the number of attendees as well as information on next years event. What’s Next - When the doors close and the tradeshow is over, whats next? The answer is simple FOLLOW-UP! Executing follow-up is probably where many businesses fail to leverage their limited resources and secure a positive return on investment. After the event, you begin to build your nurture marketing for each prospect to create Top of Mind Awareness (TOMA www.toma.com). In todays hectic business world, research suggests that you need to touch your prospect 13 times. Your follow-up efforts from phone calls to mailing literature are the second touch. Each 21 to 30 days, you again need to touch your prospect with a postcard, fax, email, newsletter or article. Your consistency during this process is what wins the race and turns those high cost trade show dollars into real sales and increased profits. Keeping track of all sales from each trade show allows you to better determine what to budget for next year. Sometimes this data takes over a year to generate especially if your sales cycle is 6 months or longer. Reserving your space for the same conference for a second time may be based on an overall impression from the first event, but by the third time, you should know if the conference or tradeshow is a worthwhile investment. Tradeshows can be enhance your profitability or turn into another drain on your marekting budget. However, through proper planning and follow-up, you, too, can go beyond the booth.

Career Change Over 40

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

By Waller Jamison As populations in the developed world are growing older and many countries are experiencing a crisis in the pension system, we are facing the prospect of having to work past the usual retirement age. Yet, at the same time, older people are not always welcomed back into the work force. Many also have difficulty finding a new job if they have an unbroken track record and are simply looking for a change in career after the age of 40. There are a number of steps you can take to maximize your chances of getting a job, despite negative views regarding age on the part of some employers. When writing your CV or rsum, be sure to target it for the job in question. You can do this by highlighting all the skills and experience which are needed for the job and then proving that you have got them. It is not necessary to put personal information on your CV in many countries it is illegal to ask about age and this will also become law in the UK in October of this year. You should either leave out your date of birth completely or put it at the end. Do not mention your marital status or the number of children you have or their ages. This is not relevant to the job! The fact that you are older means that you have valuable experience in many areas and you need to make good use of this in your application. Dont worry if you are returning to work after bringing up children soft skills, such as communication, time management and the ability to meet deadlines are crucial in the workplace today and all of those will be skills you have developed as a parent. So take a good look at all the skills you have acquired both at work and in other areas of life and make a list. Youll be surprised to see how many you have and how many of them are transferable. If you find your particular career favours youth, consider the possibility of self-employment. Could you use your existing skills as a freelance? If you arent up to date with computer packages, get your kids to teach you or find out about local classes, which are sometimes free. If there have been changes in your particular industry, look into refresher courses. Many people make the mistake of assuming that they will get job satisfaction in one place, but this is the exception rather than the rule. So make a list of all the skills youd like to use (or learn) at work and a list of the tasks which give you job satisfaction. Then consider the possibility of becoming a portfolio worker, that is, someone who has more than one occupation. You might, for example, work as a freelance in your existing career for two or three days a week and set up a small business doing something completely different during the rest of the week. Or you might write about, teach or run workshops in one of the skills you have developed. This doesnt have to be work-related it could be a hobby youve been interested in for years, it could be an aspect of parenting or coping with a health issue. Look at everything youve done in your life so far and youll find that there are several areas in which you are an expert. If you are prepared to look beyond the conventional 9-5 job, you will find that there are many opportunities open to you, regardless of your age.
