Alone In The Kitchen: Stirring Up Mindfulness
by: Maya Talisman Frost
Put on your apron! It's time to stir up a batch of mindfulness.
Julia Child, the trilling television chef who taught millions of Americans how to prepare French food without being hoity-toity, died in her sleep at the age of 92 recently. In dozens of articles, she has been glowingly eulogized for her spirit, her humor, and her ability to share her passion for cooking and fine dining.
I've never tried any of Julia Child's recipes, and I watched her show only on those days when I was skipping high school. I was fascinated by her confidence in the kitchen, and I absolutely loved the way she dealt matter-of-factly w (read full article) |

Course Of Treatment

Direct Answers - Column for the week of August 23, 2004
My husband is 45. We are getting ready to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. He now tells me he has fun when he is out of town in a group of people drinking, talking, and laughing. He says we don't have a "spark" anymore. But our sex life is good.
He swears he hasn't met anyone or been unfaithful. He says he can't have fun with me. He feels we are "just coasting" and is not sure where to go from here. Any advice?

Grace, whatever your husband says, it looks to us like the old story of the iceberg. Ten percent is visible, and 90 percent is not. You know the 10 percen (read full article) |

The Flames Of Love
by: Hifzur Rehman
Suppose you have everything; a good job, good health, good reputation, good relationships and lot of money to spend. But still there is something missing from your life. Guess what? The LOVE. It is not something which you should ignore. Life without love is just like body without soul.
Love gives meaning to life as without love life is meaningless. Lucky is the person who gets love and keeps the flames of love burning for ever. It is not a matter of days or months. Love is for life and life is for love.
Short term love encounters are not helpful at all. Be sincere with your body and soul. Indulge in serious life long loving relations (read full article) |

Depression and Procrastination: Twins In the Job Search
by: Marilyn J. Tellez, M.A.
Let me examine these two mental states. My definition of procrastination is that a person delays and delays actions that are required by a job or actions necessary to accomplish something in every day life.
Depression is a mental state that "almost freezes" a person into no action at all.
While procrastination can be overcome by a change of behavior and attitude, depression has its core issues of lassitude, feelings of hopelessness, anger and of giving up.
What do the two have in common? I think that procrastination is often a temporary trait, but depression is something that will takes lots of ti (read full article) |

Increase Your Score Factor
by: Robert Lee
So, you had an interesting night last night. You were out with the boys, hung around, visited a few places of popularity, met some girls and even got a few phone numbers and email addresses. So, what’s your next step?
I’m glad that you asked.
If you want to be sure to increase your score factor, you don’t want to come across as needy or freaky. You want to be the normal guy that women will find interesting.
And with that in mind, I’m going to tell you what to do. You probably already know what not to do, since you’re still single and alone.
Let’s say that it was Friday night that you met the girl that gave you her phone number ( (read full article) |

5 Ways to Fight Pessimism
by: Denni Gill
Some people are naturally pessimistic and are happy being so. They view themselves as pragmatic and as having a better sense of reality. Then there are those of us who feel weighed down by negativity and wish that we could be more optimistic. This is completely possible. It all lies in the way we perceive things...
1. Stress management
When we conceal our anxieties, they only build. Each concern can snowball into a feeling of being overwhelmed. Each person has their own way of letting off steam. This varies from exercise, to listening to music, to reading a good book. More of us are beginning to realize how important proper stress manage (read full article) |

Reduce Anxiety About Decison Making
by: Kathy Gates
What’s the alternative to making decisions?
Allowing someone else, or circumstances, to make them for you.
And that is giving up control of your life. That’s giving up all power to your life to other people or circumstance. And that will make you miserable
It reminds me of walking through a wonderful food buffet where you could have anything you want -- 0 calories! -- and allowing someone else to decide what you took on your plate. Unacceptable!
So when faced with decision anxiety, is the alternative – giving up all control to others or circumstance – the preferred method? Definitely not. No matter how difficu (read full article) |

Of Courage and Greatness
by: Tushar Jain
Courage is something that is reflected and reciprocated, and is by no means, inherent. When we are ordinary, we are morally ample and when we are surreal, we are audacious. The need for temerity is amplified when we’re bound to be representing it and it is lessened when it can be done without. Succinctly, it is material.
Courage is the only haven where vanity can cower in its utter dependence. A man’s individuality can only suffer a present, without therefore yielding to a past, through a hard, conscientious and well mannered proportion of ‘courage’ in its vigor. It is convincing because it is worldly. It is innocuous because it provid (read full article) |

There Is Room For Everyone At The Top
by: Nick Vernon
Do you believe that? Do you believe we can all become successful? Every single person on this earth old and young. Do you believe every single person can be successful?
It sounds a bit far stretched doesn’t it?
If you think it can’t be possible stop reading right now and analyze why you think like that.
Is it because the world doesn’t have the resources?
Is it because for the world to work there has to be a balance of winners and losers?
Do you think there would be too much competition so success for all can’t be achieved?
Anyone can be successful. We hear of the young that make it. We hear of the old that make (read full article) |

Number One Killer Of Could-Have-Been Success Stories
by: Nick Vernon
Fear.
Everything in this world has its opposite.
Good has bad.
Optimism has pessimism
Positive has negative.
Success has failure.
If fear of failure rears its ugly head now and then as you set up your business, what it’s doing is pausing your progress.
Sure you might spend a day or two thinking, ‘what am I doing!’ but you get over it and continue. But that’s no good.
This ongoing temporary fear of failure keeps on blocking the creative tunnels of your mind. When you feel down in the dumps your mind is closed. It’s not free to grasp the possibilities and within them bring back ideas.
Every time yo (read full article) |
