10 Steps to Overcome Anxiety

By Doug Petersoon The hard part is getting over the social anxiety itself. Sometimes you may think there is no hope and that you are stuck suffering with anxiety for the rest of your life. I have news for you, the people who think this way are the ones who will most likely NOT recover, or to a greater extent worsen their condition! So my First technique is this. Even if each day is no better then the rest, tell yourself tomorrow will be better and believe your own words. If you continue to tell yourself I cant do that then chances are you never will. Second, take baby steps. Do not try to rush into anything as this can only lead to stress which will bring you down. Lets say that you are having trouble entering a crowded shopping mall. There is no need to just go right in and walk around, just try to get a foot in the door or even stand near the door. Whatever brings you closer! Again DO NOT RUSH THIS, if you can manage a foot in the door Monday dont worry about having to do it all over again Tuesday. Take your time and go at your own pace. Third, invest some time into a personal journal. This step is so simple yet so effective. Write down your accomplishments and your failures. Over time you will notice (thanks to your journal) that some things come easier to you then others. Try to focus more attention on the activities that are the hardest. Getting a quarter of the way on something which is difficult will greatly increase the activities that come easy to you. For example, you can shop in a small convenience store with little discomfort. Instead of trying to master the small convenience store focus your attention on a major shopping mall. Fourth, make, buy or borrow a bracelet, necklace or anything that is not common in your attire. Use it as a reminder that you can do this! When you are in a situation that causes panic a simple reminder that you can get through this can be very beneficial. Fifth, Im sure you have heard of this one before but it is often over looked and left out. Breathe deep breaths! Anytime you are in a situation that makes you panic, take a few big deep breathes, and remember to breathe slowly. Sixth, okay this one is a bit silly but also very affective. A lot of anxiety suffers start to go into a panic attack on the first sign their body gives them, which is usually sweating and more specifically sweating on your palm of your hands. Heres where the silly part comes in, antiperspirant, apply some on your palms before any upcoming situation that you think may cause a panic attack. Now Im not saying pull it out and apply it mid-conversation with someone, but I do know a few people who carry a stick in their back pocket. Seventh, talk about it. Find and talk to other people with social anxiety disorder. Search the internet for message forums dedicated to discussing anxiety. These forums can lift your spirits in knowing that you are not alone and can also be very encouraging. Also try to find more informative write ups/programs like this one. Some are free and some cost a small amount of money. The more informed you are the better your chances of succeeding. Eighth, attitude, anxiety panic attacks can be brought on by just by fear of being judged. Tell yourself I dont care! Tell yourself what ever it takes to have a no care attitude. Ninth, laughter, you simply have to have a good laugh. Read jokes, watch comedy movies, read a humorous book. The term laughter is the best medicine is all to true. Tenth, Live, Dont sit around and worry until you are sixty eight years old. Enjoy every minute of every day while you still can, because before you know it will be too late and life will have passed you by. If you are still unable to reach your goal I encourage you to read this book. It is completley free, and if followed properly can help get you on your way to a worry free life. http://homebasedwork.atspace.com/ Doug Peterson is a former anxiety sufferer who now enjoys helping others online and in his community find income while dealing with a social anxiety disorder. http://homebasedwork.atspace.com Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Doug_Petersoon http://EzineArticles.com/?10-Steps-to-Overcome-Anxiety&id=287151 private investors money lenders sba loans tampa bad credit bankruptcy car loan equity loan for bad credit

Text Messages: Cell Phones Aren’t Just For Talking

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jeanette_Pollock]Jeanette Pollock Text messaging is a very popular use of cell phones. In America, it was popularized by young people who could use it in places (dare we say classrooms?) where cell phones were not allowed. Text messaging is less noticeable than talking. Text messaging also allows cell phones to be used to convey thoughts whether or not the other person is available. With most cell phones it is much faster to retrieve text messages than to identify and retrieve voicemail messages. Text messaging is part of the SMS technology of cell phones. SMS refers to “short message service” available on cell phones. SMS can also be used to send other information via cell phones in short bursts. SMS can be used for downloading ring tones and for premium services such as those that send news or programming to cell phones. SMS services are particularly popular for cell phones users in Europe and Asia. In many countries, people do not have personal PCs and use their cell phones for text messages the way many Americans use email. Sending text via cell phones can be time-consuming since very few phones have typewriter-style keyboards. Many cell phones use “predictive text software” that tries to guess the word you are starting to type to make the messaging go faster. A whole texting “language” has also evolved for use with cell phones-all sorts of special abbreviations that are understood by experienced “texters.” When texting on cell phones, AFAIK means “As far as I know;” B4N is “bye for now;” COB is “close of business;” DTS is “don’t think so;” ILY is “I love you.” If you don’t really like text messaging, use “F2T”. That means, “Free to talk?” and lets you know it’s okay to call for a real conversation.

Small and Medium Sized Businesses � Developing Your Market Intelligence

By Chris Hawkes Nearly every industry is signifcantly more competitive today that it was only a few years ago. Many companies focus on doing their thing a little bit faster or better than they did last year. But in todays hyper-competitive environment that may not always be enough. We believe that there are three pillars of Business Intelligence that are given short shrift by many companies, and by ignoring these options, they put their companys future in peril. The three pillars of Market Intelligence are Competitive Intelligence, Secondary Market Intelligence (syndicated or research that can be found or purchased on an given industry) and Primary Market Research which is conducting research that is specifically designed to answer the questions that your business is grappling with and that your competitors should never see (because its proprietary information). COMPETITOR ASSESSMENT Its important to do a basic SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) on each of your key competitors to understand their positions in the market relative to that of your own company (financial position, apparent growth directions, likely profit margins and the threats that their business is facing). There are companies that specialize in gathering competitive information, and its pretty common to spend a couple of months and several thousand dollars to get a report on a number of key competitors. However, because the number of competitors is often very small, its often possible to do some gumshoeing on your own. When does your competitor open for business, when do they close, how many customers do they get in the morning, afternoon an evening, and how much does it look like theyre buying? Go in and ask them about their best selling product, buy one and see what theyve got. You can also do a lot of this research via the web, or by the phone. Look at the city records to see who owns the land, have a realtor friend estimate what the rent would be like on that size building in that part of town. Look at the equipment they have, and the stock that that they carry, count the number of employees. You can probably do a pretty good job of estimating their revenue and even projecting their profit. Its a good businessperson who has an idea of how their business stacks up. SECONDARY MARKET RESEARCH These are the companies that make their money by keeping tabs on the industry overall and try to understand which major competitors are doing well and which are in bad shape. Many can approximate market shares by talking to companies that provide raw goods or by talking to the channels that these companies sell through. Some of these analysts will estimate whether the overall business is growing or shrinking and are brave enough to project these numbers out for several years. The types of companies that track these industries include International Data Corporation, Dataquest, and dont forget industry groups. Many of these reports are combined at one wonderful website that can help you quickly find reports on every industry under the sun – Market Research. This is probably the fastest place to find quality information on your industry overall, although it’s not free, unfortunately. PRIMARY MARKET RESARCH Once you know about your industry, you may decide that youd like to know more about the specific products or services that youre developing. Or maybe you just want to find out what kinds of customers are purchasing your products, how happy they are with them, or what their likelihood is of buying another product from you in the future. Thats where Primary Market Research comes in. Primary research entails a couple of dozen different methods of getting customers feedback, depending on what access they have to technology, where they are located in the world, the sensitivity of the topic and whether you think that group synergy would get you a better answer than you would by speaking to a customer one at a time. There are also a few unique methods to probe on other areas, for example there is lost customer research, which finds customers that purchased another companys products and then probing on why they didnt go with your products. Anyway there are a number of ways to get at most any type of business issue that you have. Together these techniques can help a savvy business manager to ensure that they keep a finger on the puse of the market in which they operate – and therby keeping their positiion in that market safer! Our website: http://www.marketresearch101.com can help you understand the terminology of research, the pros and cons of different research methods and we can even help you find a researcher that fits your needs. And were entirely independent and dont have financial relationships with any of the market research vendors.

Dating Delimma: Should I Call? Part II

By Peter Portero Women and men all have trouble trying to decide when they should call their date after that first initial date. Often times this phone anxiety carries on to the second and third date as well. If you are unsure when you should make that follow-up call, take a look at these tips. Tip #1 If your cell phone is your primary means of communication you may want to send a text message to your date. Even though this can be a great tool, you do not want to overuse it. By only sending text messages your date may get the feeling that you are being impersonal. A good combination of text messages and phone calls should keep you and your date happy. Tip #2 Avoid long phone conversations. If you have not known the person for a long time you will definitely want to avoid long phone conversations. If they drag on too long you may run out of things to say and cause a lot of awkward silence. Keep things short and sweet when setting up your next date. Tip #3 If you said that you would call at a certain time, be sure to carry out the promise. Your date may have taken that promise to heart and be waiting around for your call. You do not want to portray yourself as unreliable from the start. Do not say that you are going to call at a certain time if you have no intentions of doing so. We are an online dating tips site for men.

Creating Cutting Gardens

By Tim Hallinan Many perennials, annuals and even flowering shrubs not only make great garden plants but wonderful cut flowers as well. Shrubs such as hydrangea, lilac, viburnum, witchhazel and forsythia work well as cut flowers. Generally, however, shrubs dont last as long as perennials or annuals. To make flowering shrubs last as long as possible as cut flowers, crush the ends of the stems to increase the amount of water the plant will intake. Creating a cut flower gardens relies on choosing the appropriate plants. In the perennial border as short list of suitable cut flowers includes; astilbe, balloon flower, beebalm, chrysanthemum, coneflower, coreopsis, daffodil, delphinium, foxglove, daisy, golden thistle, iris, liatris, lily, lupine, lobelia, monkshood, peony, phlox, pinks, rose, sedum and yarrow. Most of these need the general care that any perennial flower would. Annuals, whether planted in their own bed or mixed among other flowers in the perennial garden, are a great cut flower. Cutting them only encourages more flowers. Annuals which are recommended as cut flowers include; ageratum, aster, calendula, cleome, cosmos, dahlia, dianthus, gladiolus, gypsophila, larkspur, marigold, salvia, snapdragon and zinnia. Be sure to plant a few shrubs or perennials for foliage and greenery which can be added to your cut flower arrangements. Arbovitae, andromeda, ferns, holly, iris, juniper and mountain laurel all make excellent additions to flower arrangements. Cut flowers, like all plants, grow in stages. Flowers start as unopened buds, expand to fully-open flowers and then begin to decline. Avoid using fully-open perennial blooms for instant color in your arrangement; use only those flowers that are just beginning to open or to show color. These will last much longer as a cut flower. Perennial flowers should be cut just as they are opening and beginning to show color. The opposite is true of annuals; they should be fully open when cut. Roses should have buds that are slightly open and firm. Harvest your cut flowers during the cooler parts of the day; evening is fine, as is early morning. In the afternoon sun, flowers can wilt quickly. Be sure to take along a bucket of water to put them in as you cut. Select only the healthiest flowers available. After harvesting your cut flowers, place them out of the sun in a cool spot for a few hours in a container of warm water with floral preservative. Remove any foliage from the lower half of the stem that will be below water level. Using a sharp knife, recut the stems on an angle, removing about half an inch of stem. Warm water will increase water uptake and floral preservative will help them last longer. Also, be sure to recut the stems frequently and remove blooms as they fade. Cut flowers have a limited life but with proper care and handling you can increase their longevity and your enjoyment. T Hallinan is a landscape designer and builder in Massachusetts.

A Flushing New Body Detox

By Cheryline Lawson Toxins invade our body everyday. It ranges from the foods that we eat to toxins in the atmosphere that are called antioxidants. There are a variety of pills and potions on the market that have a lot of fluff and boast results that seem very unrealistic. However, flushing toxins from the body is not a quick fix, but an ongoing process to continually improve health and develop a healthy lifestyle. As long as we remain alive, toxins will affect us so we must find a product to help us to fight these dangerous pollutions to our body. There are two easy ways to rid the body of toxins. One is by a foot detox patch or spa and the other is by alkalizing the body. A detox patch is easy because all you need to do is to attach the foot patch on the sole of the feet before retiring to bed at night and when you awake, the toxins will appear in the patch (it will turn an almost black color). This is a safe, natural, effective and recommended method of removing toxins from the body. A detox foot spa is almost the same process except you may have to go to a holistic center or spa. Your feet are immersed in foot spa with the water mixed in a solution. After the thirty-minute detox experience, the water is filled with toxins drawn from the body. Each substance is color coded to determine what part of the body the toxins came from. It is quite an eye-opening experience. The other method is also safe. This requires the intake of a substance called energy green drink. The ingredients in this product help to flush the acids and toxins from the body to alkalize the body and restore health. Our body is naturally acidic, but the foods that we eat add to this acid to make us overacidic. Toxins and fat feed on this excess acid to make us sick and overweight. The Energy Green drink is a natural remedy to detoxification and weight loss success. Alkaline foods supply us to with less toxicity and the energy green contains alkaline substances in the form of vitamins, vegetables, and fruits. This neutralizes the acid and toxins in our body to give us a more balanced and healthy body. These are the easiest, most unobtrusive ways to assist your body in the removal of pollutants that invade our bodies on a daily basis; and also from the health-repressive toxicity accumulations that impede our bodies from achieving the true wellness we really should be experiencing. A toxic body (with an overburdened liver and a sluggish and congested lymphatic system) simply cannot maintain the normal cleansing performance required to maintain optimal health. Also, in addition to the over abundance of naturally-occurring toxins, it is estimated that well over 400 synthetic chemicals and other man-made toxins permeate the body of the average individual today. So a lot of us are walking around full of toxins without being aware of it. We must not wait until we get sick to take control of our bodies. Now is the time to flush the body and revitalize our health. You owe it to yourself.

Fishing Unfamiliar & Fly-in Lakes

By Bill Rivers Fishing Unfamiliar & Fly-in Lakes There is a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment – the pride of craft – that comes with a successful day’s fishing on a new, unfamiliar or fly-in lake, whether it is a limit of bass, a few walleyes for shore lunch, or a trophy pike. Not because putting fish in the boat is the measure of a successful outing, but because that success underlines the fact that the angler has effectively adapted to the existing fishing situations and conditions, making necessary changes in bait / lure selection, presentations and locations. That, in itself, is no small feat, even at fly-in lakes which supposedly teem with naive fish. Let me assure you that we always breathe a sigh of relief (even on fly-ins) after having caught a few fish for that first shore lunch. Once that initial success has been realized, the rest of a fishing trip takes care of itself. Plan to succeed Pre-trip Research & Planning Upon Arrival A Working Map Productive Tactics On new lakes, you need a systematic approach that will greatly improve the chances of near-immediate success and good catches, even when fishing an unfamiliar lake – given the fact that time is almost certainly a limiting factor. To maximize your time and enjoyment of a day’s fishing or a remote trip, you need a system. Here’s the Ontario Fisherman’s oft-tested and proven approach. Pre-trip Research & Planning In spite of the fact that most fly-in and many road-accessible lakes offer great fishing opportunities, anglers should develop and execute a plan for fishing any unfamiliar lake. Without such a strategy, too much time on a short trip can be spent searching for fish or prime locations. Notice that I did not say “wasted”. No systematic survey of a lake should be considered a waste of time – even when fish are not caught. One key to finding fish consistently is to quickly eliminate “empty” water, and one way to do that is through trial and error. Better, though, to spend as much time as possible actually fishing a promising or proven location. This can be best accomplished with a two-pronged, strategic approach – one prior to the trip; the other on the water. Before putting the boat in the water, “explore” the destination lake on paper through the examination of available maps and charts. Many times, gaining a thorough knowledge of the lake and the identification of potential hotspots can be accomplished without even getting in the boat. Check available map & chart sources, including: MNR-produced “fishing maps” lodge / camp fishing & navigation maps MNR stocking lists & maps resource management plans topographic maps hydrographic / lake-bottom contour maps resources maps & plans (e.g. logging) maps prepared by previous groups canoe / hiking route maps maps prepared by local clubs sanctuary maps & notices aerial photographs & satellite images Speak to others with experience on the lake, including: local anglers MNR district fisheries personnel guides / charter operators suggested references (by phone) Immediately after booking a trip work through the above lists – a task easily managed if your group shares in the research. Besides, it is actually fun trying to figure out the lake, sight unseen and even better when you discover that some of your assessments were correct. And, having done some of the “leg work” prior to the trip, you will have considerably more time for a thorough “on-the-water” survey once you reach your destination. Upon Arrival Arriving at your departure point or fly-in airbase, the work begins again. Now is the time to ask others about the destination to which you are headed, including: outfitter / air service personnel bait & tackle shop proprietors cottagers, campers, canoeists fishing / conservation club members lodge operator / guides camp clientele (especially repeaters) A Fly Over If your group is flying into a remote outpost or lodge, ask the pilot to do a “fly over” of the lake(s) you will be fishing. With a rough, photocopied outline map in hand, look for and mark any: congregations of boats adjoining back lakes inflowing / outflowing streams shoals, sunken islands, points large weedbeds / weedlines log jams / shoreline cover rapids, dams lodge / cabin location Previous Party Info Upon arriving and unpacking, with map in hand, talk to departing anglers about the lake, the fishing, and the camp, including: fishing hotspots proven baits & tactics reasonable expectations (numbers, size) boating hazards boats & motors camp gear & appliances portages / trails to back lakes shore lunch site(s) bait availability / minnow traps sanctuary areas A Working Map By now, that rough outline map could be pretty marked up, hopefully with useful bits of information and locations that will make those first outings on the lake safer and more productive. Take a few moments to re-draw the map more precisely , and give each “boat” in your party their own map to record useful findings. As the map develops, it won’t be a pretty sight, but its value will be inestimable later and on subsequent trips. As you fish and explore the lake or river over the course of your stay, mark on the map: fishing hotspots landmarks / hazards current flows & direction good shoreline stretches prime cover areas mid-lake weedbeds structural elements Never be without a portable depthfinder when fishing an unfamiliar lake or river. Depending on its capabilities, the graph (apart from displaying the bottom contours and water depths) can provide other important data to help you in your survey, including: breakline deep-water basins fish / baitfish bottom “content” structural specifics water temperature trolling speed Productive Tactics Hey, we are fishermen, not cartographers – so let’s go fishing ! At the risk of oversimplifying the strategies used to explore and fish an unfamiliar lake, break down your approach as follows: prepare the “working map” parcel the lake into manageable sections cover water quickly use a variety of lures / techniques eliminate unproductive water pinpoint fishing “hotspots” update the map continuously> Parcel Up the Lake / River It’s easy to be overwhelmed on a new lake, especially larger ones. Instead, divide the lake into more manageable sections, and treat each as if it were a separate lake. As each boat explores, fishes, and maps a section, information is shared and. Later, checked out by the others to verify the findings. Even very large lakes can be quickly cut down to size using this approach. However, if there is only one boat and five lake sections, start with the most promising or highly recommended section in order to get on fish quickly and to avoid wasting valuable time checking out “empty water” for half the trip. On rivers, this system is especially easy and effective. Devoting a half-day to each stretch provides diversity, yet still allows for more time to be devoted to the “best” spots later. Cover Water Quickly In a relatively short time you will want to explore, fish and map a designated portion of the lake with hopes of locating the most productive spots in that section. To do this, move quickly – trolling fast-breaking shorelines, casting exposed shoals, working along weedlines with spinnerbaits, spinners or spoons. If fish are caught, it may be an area deserving of a slower, more precise attack later. First, however, finish the surveying task you set out to accomplish. Mark it on the map and come back later. Similarly, if a promising or recommended area comes up empty, switch tactics or return to it late in the day (as you re-visit the hotspots identified over the course of the day). Fishing live baits, drifting approaches, backtrolling, float and still fishing are too slow for this part of the hunt but will serve you well later as you probe key spots more slowly and thoroughly. Eliminate Unproductive Water It’s said that “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”, so don’t waste precious fishing time on “empty water”. On the working map, cross out shallow back bays choked with weeds, areas with “ooze” bottoms or less than six feet of water. Abandon shorelines which slope gradually to deeper, regular bottoms. Forget most of the lake’s deepest basins (more than 25 feet). Forget casting to reeds growing atop sand bars under just two or three feet of water. This approach will effectively eliminate more than two-thirds of most lakes and will not only save you time and frustration, but will also assure that most of your precious fishing time is spent in more productive areas. Of course, there are exceptions to every example stated above – bass in the slop, early season pike in the shallows, lake trout in the depths, but most are seasonal movement patterns, which, in turn, help to eliminate other areas which might be better during a different part of the fishing season. Pinpoint & Mark Prime Spots / Cover / Structures With much of the lake already eliminated during the initial scouting process, keying on the lake’s prime spots and structural features should be much easier now. Fish promising or recommended spots slowly and thoroughly. When a good spot and good catches come together, accurately mark the spot in your GPS unit, with a floating marker buoy or carefully triangulate the exact location using nearby and obvious landmarks. Immediately mark them on the working copy of the map (in colour). Update the Map Either for your own use on subsequent trips, as a favour to groups that follow, or as a courtesy to the outfitter, keep the map up to date as it has considerable value to all parties involved. Mine come in handy when I summarize fishing trips for magazine articles and for the countless inquiries I receive each year via e-mail. Show me yours, and I’ll show you mine ! Arranging and planning the annual fishing trip for the “boys” or your family is an important and demanding task at the best of times. When daring to venture to unfamiliar destinations, the uncertainties regarding the details and the fishing opportunities are accentuated still further. This season, when the time comes to head out to that unfamiliar lake or river, have your homework done, a “working map: at the ready, and a strategic approach for surveying and fishing the lake in mind. Anxieties will be lessened, the chances of success heightened. And, as you have, no doubt, heard and read many times, confidence plays a very large part in any successful fishing outing. But now you are ready! Enjoy your trip. Online since 1998 by long-time OFM field editor, Bill Rivers, the Ontario Fisherman is now taking on a new look, but remains committed to showcasing “the best of Ontario sportfishing”.

How To Cope With Loss And Trauma For A Person With Manic Depression

By Moses Wright Dealing with loss of family can be especially difficult for those who suffer from manic depression. Not only are they trying to cope with the traumatic experience, but they are also trying to remain stable and trying to avoid a depressive or manic episode as a result of the stress it caused. Some with manic depression may even need to seek extra support to cope with the grief or anxiety that the traumatic event causes. Everyone handles grief or anxiety differently during a loss or trauma. Living with manic depression can be a delicate balancing act. If something creates a lot of stress or anxiety for them, they can easily become overwhelmed and slip into mania or depression. When grieving, it is not unusual for someone to feel depressed. However, if someone with manic depression grieves and feels depressed, they have to make a conscious effort to try to avoid having a full-blown depressive episode. However sometimes, the looming depressive episode simply cannot be avoided. A support system is absolutely necessary when dealing with trauma. Family, friends, support groups, and mental health professionals can all help the manic depression person through the traumatic event. Often, all it takes is an understanding individual to listen to the person with manic depression and offer encouragement. Helping alleviate some of the stress and responsibilities from the person suffering from manic depression can help them focus on maintaining balance and managing the additional stress the trauma has caused. Encourage the manic depression person to take some time for himself to do something they enjoy. Taking a walk with the person can help provide exercise and social stimulation, which is often lacking. Many people with manic depression tend to isolate themselves when under too much stress. This can be counterproductive to their health and emotional well-being. If the person with manic depression begins to experience nightmares, sleeplessness, anxiety, restlessness, distress, or if they are repeatedly recalling or reliving the acts of the traumatic event, they probably need additional assistance from their psychiatrist or doctor in order to cope with the trauma. Medication can help the person to manage the anxiety and distress caused by the event. It is better to get the extra help necessary to control the effects of the trauma and avoid an episode than to neglect getting help and face the anxiety and distress plus a manic or depressive episode. People with manic depression who have experienced trauma or a loss should consider expanding their support system to include support specifically related to the trauma. Depending on the nature of the trauma, support groups and specialized counseling may be available. If the person with manic depression had not been receiving therapy, they should consider doing so to help them through this difficult time. Moses Wright is the founder of Bipolar Disorder.
