Una cosa è certa: le foto sono gratis da vedere. Soprattutto quelle che sono state già fatte. Le foto ancora da fare possono invece essere molto care da guardare. Dipende dal fotografo. Ma se l'occhio che vuole la sua parte la ottiene gratis, non è detto che il resto non si paghi. L'uso commerciale delle foto può non essere gratis affatto. Forse non è neppure permesso mangiarle gratis, le foto. D'altra parte, come si fa a mangiare una foto? Mah... Non vi resta che guardare.

  • ABCs OF GETTING HIGH GRADES
    I found a great article while visiting the city library. This one is a good article for all students to read. Getting ahead in school is not just excelling mentally but socially, physically and spiritually as well. Achieving high grades will be as easy as memorizing your ABC when you live a balanced life.

    Attend classes regularly. Avoid making unnecessary absences.

    Begin your day with God. Pray and read the Bible for your spiritual and intellectual growth.

    Come to class early. This will give you time to review your notes or do advance reading.

    Divide long term assignments/projects into small tasks that you can work on a daily basis.

    Engage in profitable or intellectually enhancing hobbies. Join sports activities, enjoy the beauty of God's creation, keep a diary, do one random act of kindness each day.

    Focus on what you are doing at the moment for maximum efficiency.

    Go out and make friends. Make amends with your enemies. doing so does not only add colors to your life, they also complete the circle of life.

    Help a classmate who is lagging behind. You'll master your lesson in the process.

    Invite the Lord to be your Guide, Partner, and Friend and you'll always be on the right track.

    Jot down notes. They come in handy during reviews.

    Keep track of time. Wasted time equals lost opportunities.

    Laugh often, love life, and live one day at a time.

    Make a daily schedule. List the things that you need to do for the day to avoid forgetting them.

    Never ever skip breakfast. Doing so is one of the biggest brain damaging habits.

    Offer your heart, soul and mind to your Creator and King.

    Participate in discussions. You'll learn more if you interact more.

    Quit minding other people's business. You have no idea what they are really going through.

    Research. Don't just settle with the things that you learn inside the classroom.

    Stay fit. Eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. A healthy body is a must to a healthy mind.

    Take time alone to reflect and count your blessings.

    Use your talent, knowledge, and skills for the glory of God.

    Vent your feelings and opinions only after spending careful thought about them.

    Wait, if you can, until you graduate in college before having a sweetheart.

    Xerox or photocopy materials that you missed and study them.

    Yearn to learn something new each day.

    Zoom in on worthwhile opportunities that come your way. A missed opportunity is lost forever.

  • BENEFITS OF TAKING POWER NAPS
    Photobucket

    Sometimes when we feel that we are running low on energy, we get a sudden attack if drowsiness, or get bombarded by information overload, a power nap is a very good way to recharge your batteries. Here are some benefits you get from power napping.

    1. Increase cognitive functions. NASA researchers found that 15-30 minutes power naps increased cognitive faculties by approximately 40 percent. The nap must be short in order to produce maximum effectiveness though. Sleeping beyond forty five minutes causes the beneficial effects of napping to disappear. 30 minutes is the max time to get both rested and recharged.

    2. Better decision making and productivity. If you get the chance to power nap, particularly if you lack sleep, by all means, take one. You will feel more alert and energetic afterwards. Once rested, your mood, efficiency, and alertness level will greatly improve.

    3. Reduced risk of heart disease. Taking 40 winks in the middle of the day may reduce the risk of death from heart disease, say researchers, because they improve the levels of cortisone in the blood.

    4. Mood improvement. Curling up in a sofa, laying your head down on your desk, or snoozing in the car results in relaxation galore. Research shows stress hormone levels lowered in those who take stress reducing naps. Napping does help to make you a more agreeable person.

    5. Memory improvement. Tests show that those who sleep better remember more things and perform better in exams and problem solving situations. Napping is directly related to academic or task performance.

  • TIPS FOR A BETTER EYESIGHT
    Photobucket

    Sometimes we take our eyes for granted, our eyes is one of our most precious possessions. Here are some tips to make our eyesight better.

    1. Eat more fruits. A study revealed that those who ate the greatest amount of fruits were the least likely to develop age related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older people.

    2. Sneak in spinach. Eating spinach twice a week gives sufficient supply of lutein, a nutrient that prevents age related macular, degeneration and cataracts. For best absorption, get you lutien in combination with some form of fat (olive oil works great).

    3. Take car precautions. Dry, air conditioned air sucks the moisture out of our eyes. Aim the vents away from your eyes or wear sunglasses as a shield. Dryness can lead to corneal abrasions and even blindness if left untreated.

    4. Monitor your monitor. Moving your computer screen just below your eye level will cause your eyes to slightly close. This minimizes fluid evaporation and dry eyes.

    5. Feast on fish. A group of Harvard researchers evaluated the diets of 32,470 women and found that those who ate least amount of fish had the highest risk of dry eye syndrome. So eat fish twice a week or, if you can't stand fish, try fish oil supplements to get your omega 3s.

    6. Be cool. Turn down the heat in your house. Heat dries out the air, which in turn, dries your eyes.

    7. Hide behind shades. It protects your eyes from the harsh glare of the sun and its damaging ultraviolet rays. Wear sunglasses even when it's not sunny outside to protect your eyes from the drying effects of the wind.

    8. Wear a hat or use an umbrella. Doing so will block roughly about 50% of the UVradiation that may enter your eyes from about ot around sunglasses.

    9. Binge on beets. Roasted fresh beets make for an eye saving dish. The deep red color beets is derived from phytochemicals called anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that protect the smaller blood vessels in your body, particularly your eyes.

    10. Give yourself a spa treatment. Dab an essential oil of jasmine, peppermint or vanilla on your arm and sniff. Jasmine increases the beat waves in the frontal lobes of the brain, promoting wakefulness and enabling you to focus better and see things more acutely. These scents stimulate the limbic system in your brain, which in turn, stimulates the rods in your eyes, helping you to see in dim light.

  • TIPS ON SAVING MONEY WHILE EATING OUT
    Photobucket

    Although eating in your house and cooking for yourself and your love one would greatly save you money. But its also nice to go out with your family or your love one and treat them to a restaurant from time to time. Here are some tips on how you can to that without breaking your budget.

    • Go for lunch specials. Lunch specials are usually cheaper than dinners, and breakfasts are even more so. Always ask for the daily special as it can often be a good deal.
    • New restaurant. Keep an eye out for newspaper ads regarding new restaurants. Often a restaurant that has just opened for business will want to attract new customers with discount and freebies.
    • Drink water. You go to a restaurant for the good food, not for the drinks. You can get those for much cheaper at a grocery store. Drink water instead.
    • Just order side items. A salad and an appetizer can often make for a delicious but affordable meal for one.
    • Don't order two dinners. If you go to a restaurant with your partner, order one dinner and an appetizer and split it. Many restaurant usually serve way too much, which is costly and unhealthy if you finish it.

  • MAKE YOURSELF INDISPENSABLE
    Its hard to find a new job now a days. So make yourself indispensable to your company. Employers often say that the key to keeping one's job is not about the skills you have, but its more of the person's qualities, habits and capacities. Here are some tips for you:

    1. Focus on your company's success, not your own. In challenging times, your employer wants a selfless, highly collaborative team player who meets and exceeds his commitments.

    2. Be open to change. Be flexible and open minded. Say yes to any and all changes that management throws your way. And this includes tightening of your expense budget, more work with the same resources, higher goals, and so on.

    3. Everything is your job. Take on tasks that fall outside your job description. This will serve you well come performance appraisal or downsizing time.

    4. Throw away your negative mindset. Employers value employees whose positive attitude contributes to a more productive team. Whatever it takes, keep the negative mindset out of the pffice. Focus on what can be and not what can't.

    5. "Unwritten rules" are now engraved in stone. Be prepared to show up early or stay late, or go beyond what's expected of you. Management now notices people who leave on the dot or take very long breaks, and so on.

  • WAYS TO LEARN TO FORGIVE
    We all know that forgiving someone who has hurt us can be very difficult. Frederic Luskin, PhD, author of Forgive for Good, states however that "people who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness." Here are ways to go about the process of forgiving:

    • Calm yourself. Focus on something that makes you happy: a beautiful scene, a person you love, a happy event.
    • Don't wait for an apology. You might have to wait for forever to let go of your anger if you wait for an apology from whoever has hurt you - some people either don't know that they have offended you or don't want to apologize. Why don't you forgive the person even if he or she doesn't ask? Forgiving doesn't mean that you condone whatever he or she has done.
    • Remove the person's control over you. When you forgive, you remove the person's power over you. You release yourself from his power to make you angry, depressed or whatever feeling he may provoke in you.
    • Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Gain a probably enlightening perspective by putting yourself in the other person's shoes. The person may have acted out of ignorance or maybe even love in what he or she did.
    • Forgive yourself. Some people are their own harshest critic. Learn to accept and forgive yourself of your own failings.

  • HOW TO IMPROVE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP
    This is article are for a mother or a daughter, or both. Here are five typical types of relationships and how to improve them:

    1. Best Friends. Others envy your relationship with one another. While this is good as you operate on a level playing field, you must also remember that at times, a daughter needs a parent. So both parties need to respect their roles and acknowledge the generation gap.

    2. Sisterly. Though not quite best friends, you have a deep connection with each other and like each other. Usually in this type of relationship, there is some sense of competition, even though many families want to repress it. So try to understand what the other is feeling and be especially supportive in those areas.

    3. Clashing Personalities. You're always butting heads against each other, which can be difficult. Mothers should not underestimate their power and overestimate their daughter and vice versa. Adult daughters should listen to their mother's advice even if they don't necessarily have to follow them so that the mother wont feel ignored.

    4. Reverse Nurture. Your roles are switching because of age, health, finances or culture. This usually improves relations as daughters feel needed and mothers feel loved. But it's important for daughters to make sure mothers feel more valued as they become less dominant in the family. Take time to talk about traditions and values that you share.

    5. Enmeshed. No decision gets made without the others approval in this type of relationship. While you can always count on the other, it's tough to create boundaries. Because this type of relationship is often driven by fear of abandonment, it is good to slowly bould boundaries while still emphasizing the mother's value.

  • TIPS ON IMPROVING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR IN-LAWS
    Having problems with your relationship with your in laws? here are some tips to help you improve it:

    1. Be realistic. You have to accept that if there is anything you don't like about your in laws behavior, you cannot change it. Only they can change it. But you can change how you react to their behavior. So focus on your part and accept them as they are.

    2. Understand the deeper issues. You might think you just don't mesh well with each other, but sometimes there may be deeper reasons why you and your in laws cannot seem to get close. For example, your in laws coldness toward you could be because they feel threatened losing their son or daughter to you. Try to understand where they are coming from and bridge the gap.

    3. Make an effort to get to know you in laws better. It might be initially awkward to do this but it will get easier as time goes on. Invite them to lunch or call them. Get to know the persons behind the facade they present to you.

    4. Stay out of fights between your spouse and his family. As much as possible, let your spouse handle any difficult subject or confrontation with his or her family and relatives.

    5. Make you in laws feel welcome in your home. Treat them as valued members of the family, which they truly are, instead of inspector-generals, which is how you might feel. Your warmth and hospitality will rub off on them and improve your relationship.

  • A GUILT FREE GUIDE TO SAYING NO
    Yup i know its hard to say no to someone. For some people saying no i a major decision. "Saying yes when you need to say no causes burnout. You do yourself and the person making the request a disservice by saying yes all of the time," says author Duke Robinson. Here are some advice to help you.

    • Saying No for the Sake of Your Wallet. If a friend in need asks for a huge loan, you can say. "I wish I could, but as a rule, I don't lend money to friends." By not singling out the person, you're not saying he or she is untrustworthy. According to communications trainer Don Gabor, "It can change the nature of your relationship if the person doesn't pay you back."
    • Saying No for the Sake of Your Time. You are offered a promotion that you don't want and demands more hours and more responsibility. You can reply, "I'm flattered that you want me, but for personal reasons I'm not in a situation where I can take this on. Can we talk again if my circumstances change?" By saying this, your boss will understand that you have personal priorities that take precedence.
    • Saying No for the Sake of Your Sanity. A guest offers to bring a dish that doesn't go with the theme of your party. Just say, "What a kind offer - thank you. I have already planned the menu, but do you have and dietary restrictions I should know about?" If she's just being nice, then acknowledging her offer lets the person know she did all she could. Of course, if she has dietary restrictions then you can change your mind and let her bring a dish that she can eat.

  • MILLIONAIRE'S MONEY MANAGEMENT SECRET
    Who doesn't want to be rich? of course almost all people want to be rich, me including. So how do we get rich? well its nice to know a thing or two from those who are rich themselves and to know their secret on how to be one. We might think millionaires have it lucky. Check out their answer below and find out some of their secrets:

    1. Start early to avoid financial pitfalls. Adrian Cartwood, 49, author of the blog, How to Make Million in 7 Years, lived frugally while building his technology related business. He said, "Learn how to live within your means and how to delay gratification; there are the habits that you need to maintain on the way up, so you can keep your millions when you get there."

    2. Believe that you can do it. According to Alan Corey, author of A Million Bucks by 30, who became a millionaire by investing in real estate, said that he read as many biographies and autobiographies of millionaires before he became one. "What I found was they all had an incredible self belief that they would be financially successful," he shared.

    3. Work Hard - and you'll get lucky. Donald Trump attributes his success to hard work, explaining inhis book, Think Like a Champion, "If your work pays off, which it most likely will, people might say you're just lucky. Maybe so, because you're lucky enough to have the brains to work hard!"

  • HOW TO AVOID RELATIONSHIP TRAPS
    If you want your love life to be successful, here are some relationship don'ts to keep in mind.

    1. Don't try to change your partner. People who say, "If he/she loves me, then he/she will change" will soon find out how destructive this is in a relationship. If you love someone, you have to accept them - flaws and all.

    2. Don't reject your partner to protect yourself. Those who feel the need to protect themselves by rejecting someone they love out of fear of being rejected need to sort out personal issues. If they feel they can't hold on to their partner, they have to first learn to accept themselves.

    3. Don't expect your partner to be a mind reader. Communication is the lifeblood of relationships. A woman who thinks her man should know her needs is putting unrealistic burdens on him. Know what you want, ask for it clearly, and be ready to accept a yes or no.

    4. Don't think that it's your partner's role to make you happy. Your happiness is your responsibility.

    5. Don't accuse your man of refusing to talk. Men will talk when they feel safe under the right circumstances. Don't coerce them into a dialogue if they're not ready.

  • FOODS TO HELP YOU FLATTEN YOUR BELLY
    Here is a nice article i found on a magazine. Which states that there are certain foods and styles of eating that can help you flatten your belly. It isn't just giving up on carbohydrates and munching on rabbit food.

    1. Give me a C. Research says that food rich in Vitamin C, such as citrus, cantaloupe and red pepper, reduces fat absorption. You can meet your daily Vitamin C intake of 75 milligrams by snacking on an orange or a cup of strawberries.

    2. Tea up. Women with the highest consumption of catechins, the plant based antioxidants in tea that may boost fat burn, put on fewer pounds than those who drank less tea. The green or white varieties contain the most catechins.

    3. Peel it off. Banana, which contains 422 mg of potassium, controls the amount of puff producing sodium in your system. snack on a banana and you'll banish bloat fast.

    4. Go low. A meal of low glycemic index foods, which the body digests slowly, makes you feelfuller. These includes oatmeal's, vegetables and some fruits like grapefruits and blueberries.

    5. Stroll away your sweet craving. Can't resist chocolates? A little dark chocolate is fine, but if you've already hit your limit, it's time to lace up your sneakers! a 15 minute walk is reported to reduce yearning of sweets during and even after the walk.

    6. Ditch high fructose corn syrup. Research suggests that high fructose corn syrup causes a surge in blood sugar and messes up your hunger and satiety signals, leaving you less satisfied and causing you to eat more. The extra calories you eat get deposited as fat. So next time you shop, scan labels and trade packaged foods with high fructose corn syrup for ones with healthy fats and fiber.

    7. Snap your snack. Take a photo of everything you eat for five days and chances are, you will consume fewer snacks and less likely to go back for seconds.

  • UNDERSTANDING YOUR LOVED ONES PERSONALITY
    Understanding the personality of our loved ones can help us dal with them better. Knowing your loved one's dominant predisposition can help you relate and communicate with them more effectively. There are many different ways to determine an individual personality. Hippocrates identified 4 major personality types: Choleric, Sanguine, Phlegmatic and Melancholy.

    Cholerics are dynamic and active people who are born leaders. They have a compulsive need for change and feel they must correct wrongs. They are strong willed and decisive and are not easily discouraged. They are also independent and self sufficient.

    Sanguine people are messy but energetic, optimistic and cheerful. They're enthusiastic when starting something but usually quit before they're done. They live in the present and have a good sense of humor.

    Phlegmatic have low key personalities and are laid back. They are detailed oriented people who are calm, cool and collected. They can be precise to a fault(nit picky perfectionist) and somewhat boring.

    Melancholy people are the genius prone. They are analytical, artistic or musical, philosophical and poetic. Because they live to the extreme, some would call them moody.

    It'll take a little effort to see life from the standpoint of your loved one, but being able to relate better is worth it.

  • TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
    Are you having problems with high blood pressure? It will do you good if you cut down on sodium. Studies shows that while 2,400 mg is the recommended daily intake of sodium, those who eat less than 1,500 mg a day had improved blood pressure.

    Here are some tips to improve your blood pressure:

    • Most of your sodium intake comes in the form of table salt(sodium chloride). Salt can come in other forms like sodium benzoate or sodium citrate. Read food labels and choose those that contain less salt.
    • Add little or no salt when cooking your food. Also, avoid adding salt to food served on your table.
    • Use herbs and spices to season your food. Onions, garlic, parsley, lemon and lime juice and rind, basil, tarragon, marjoram, thyme, curry powder, cumin, paprika, vinegar, celery, red pepper, yellow pepper, green pepper and wine are just some things you can add to enhance the flavor and aroma of foods.

  • 5 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR METABOLISM
    Metabolism, involves a complex network of hormones and enzymes that not only convert food into fuel but also affect how efficiently you burn that fuel.

    The process of metabolism establishes the rate at which we burn our calories and, ultimately, how quickly we gain weight or how easily we lose it. Of course, not everyone burns calories at the same rate.

    So here are 5 easy ways to improve your metabolism:

    1. Do not skip breakfast. The morning meal jump-starts you metabolism and helps to prevent binging later in the day. Breakfast should include complex carbohydrates like whole grain(granola or oatmeal) with protein and fat(low fat milk or yogurt).

    2. Eat more often. Get into the habit of eating every three or four hours, or at least four times a day. Eating frequently stabilizes blood sugar. When you go many hours without eating, the body tends to slow the effect of energy and causes difficulty maintaining your weight loss.

    3. Eat protein at every meal. Protein helps reduce your appetite. It takes mote time and energy to digest. Research shows that eating more protein can help you loose weight without cutting calories. Try these protein possibilities: chicken fillet on whole wheat pita, vegetarian pasta or pizza, fruits and nuts, or protein bar that contain 12 or more grams of protein.

    4. Stay away from snacks. Many of us take a quick snack for energy when feeling tired. But do not confuse a certain fatigue with hunger. If you are tired, walk 15-20 minutes. This will increase your heart rate and give you an energy boost. Follow with a full glass of cold water. If you're really hungry, have a protein-rich complex carbohydrates as a snack-wheat crackers with peanut butter or cheese.

    5. Consume enough for your body's needs. Eating too little slows you body's metabolism the same way if you rarely eat. If you want to lose weight, don't cut calories too drastically. Instead, cut some of the extras in food such as soft drinks, fruit juices, fresh or packaged products. Processed foods end to be high in fat and calories and low in vitamins, minerals and fiber.

  • IS HE MR. WRONG?
    Here's a nice article for ladies out their are having second thoughts about the guy they are dating. Do you have a feeling that the guy you're dating might be more of a dud then a stud? Take a look at some telltale signs.

    1. He is selfish. If the word compromise is alien to your man's consciousness, chances are he's only thinking of himself. Healthy men know how to make compromises, relationship experts say.

    2. He doesn't appreciate you. The guy you're dating should not only appreciate you but also respect you, your friends and family.

    3. He has no drive. Does your guy spend more time on gimiks with his buddies or watching TV than anything else? If he's busy doing things that don't take his life to new places, he might be a dud.

    4. He doesn't show emotion. To be in a healthy relationship, both parties need to be open and honest about their vulnerabilities - and not be afraid to show their emotions. If you find that you're giving more emotionally to the relationship than he is, it might be time to move on.

    5. He doesn't have a good relationship with his mother. If a guy's relationship with his mother is constantly strained, it's not a good sign for your relationship. He does not have to be a mama's boy but a guy - at any age - must have a loving and healthy relationship with his mother.

    6. He has no friends. Not having many friends, or having friends that are rude, is a sign that he's not easy to get along with. And men who are not easy to get along with must not impose themselves on women who seek a loving relationship.

    7. He makes you feel bad about yourself. Why would you want to be around someone who doesn't make you feel happy, successful and fulfilled? If he doesn't listen to you and constant;y puts you down, it's a sign of trouble.

    8. He's untrustworthy. if you are unable to trust your partner, you will spend countless time and energy wondering about his capacity to be honest and straightforward about your relationship.

  • 6 EASY AND EFFECTIVE WAYS TO LOSE WEIGHT
    Feeling heavy now a days, do you easily get tired. Go to the gym and exercise, but? theres one problem, you don't have the budget to go to the gym, here are list of easy and effective ways to loose weight and not be a burden in your pockets.

    1. Eat slowly and chew your food well. Two studies - one from Japan and another from the University of Rhode Island. Found that eating slowly helps with weight loss. Females included in the research who took time to chew their food and paused between bites consumed 80 fewer calories per meal compared to those who ate fast.

    2. Eat the "lite" version. Switch to lower calorie versions of the food you crave. EAt low fat ice cream or feast on reduced fat cheese. Don't eat fried when you can go grilled. Or boiled. Or steamed. Eat fruit instead of cake. Use vinegar and oil to dress your salad instead of gooey mayonnaise based dressing.

    3. Share your food. It's the nice thing to do. Big portion meals are the trend these days. But you don't have to finish what on you're plate. Why not split the food with a friend or family? That includes your drink and dessert too. And here's the bonus: it's also half the cost. It's warm and intimate too.

    4. Walk, don't ride. Park your car at the back of the lot. Get off the bus a few stops earlier. Hike the mall. Take the stairs every chance you get. Enjoy a post dinner stroll. The American Heart Association says walking conditions the heart and lungs when performed at the proper intensity for 30 to 60 minutes 3-4 times a week. The faster your heart rate(and the longer you keep it there), the quicker you will loose weight too.

    5. Dance, dance, dance! Move it, move it, move it. Don't just watch TV, tone up when you watch your favorite show. Dance to the music when you watch American Idol, Are You The Next Best Star or MTV. Lift soda cans or water bottles instead of drinking them to make bicep curls or tricep dips. It doesn't matter what you do, so long as you're up and active. Stay on the move for at least 15 minutes. You'll see the result.

    6. Drink lots of water. A glass of water every hour will do you wonders. You'll eat less without feeling hungry. The large amount of water intake will also protect you against any unwanted body waste. It helps digestion too.

  • 6 WORDS TO GET YOU HEARD AT YOUR NEXT MEETING
    Ever felt that you're not part of the meeting? and that you're opinion are just being ignored? Six facts about the human brain can move you from being ignored - to getting your best ideas heard. There are reasons why some people get heard more than others at meetings, and these are not what you may think.

    1. Brain fact - People resonate with what they already know and already do daily, because the brain's basal ganglia keeps some people trapped in the safety if the old, comfortable or familiar.

    Brain-based response - Hook your new idea onto their familiar approaches. How? Say you want to propose a new accounting system. Suggest how this innovation can enhance one popular part of the current system - before you show how it will fix another problem part.

    2. Brain fact - Humor helps because it releases enzymes into the brain for openness and ability to go with a new possibility.

    Brain-based response - Make them laugh with a funny joke. Lets say you are still going for an accounting adjustment idea. Tell them, "An accountant dies and St. Peter says, 'You look so young for a 144 years old.' The accountant shoots back, 'But I'm only 42.' 'Sorry ' St Peter says, 'We got your age from your reported time sheet.

    3. Brain fact - Advanced organizers enable the human brain to see and act on a clear plan.

    Brain-based response - Avoid confusion by showing bare boned parts or bullets to overview your key ideas.

    4. Brain fact - Serotonin prepares a place in people brains o help them take new risk.

    Brain-based response - Offer incentives like monetary benefits for each of them if they adopt your new idea. For instance, they might earn a bonus, save on taxes, and cut waste for the firm at the same time.

    5. Brain fact - Cortisol impacts tone negatively and so it can shut down people, ides, adventures, and opportunities before you get your point across.

    Brain-based response - State the dilemma clearly and show it as a reason and justification for your plan and then quickly move into the solution.

    6. Brain fact - Melatonin, the hormone for sleep, increases in a darkened room and puts folks to sleep whenever the lights are too low.
    Brain-based response - Use bright lights to avoid people nodding off before you get to the punch line. You may also know that too much talk works against the human brain.

  • 10 WAYS TO LET GO OF PAST LOVES
    Its not that easy letting go of someone you love. Plenty of people are having a hard time letting go of past loves and are still attached to the memory of a past romance. Come unstuck with these techniques and discover yourself - happy and free. If you are stuck in an emotional tie that no longer serves you, it's time to set yourself free. Here are 10 fool proof ways to enjoy the present and release your past.

    1. Get real about what was. According to pop psychologists, we are most magnetically attracted to people who embody the characteristics of our parents or early caretakers because we unwittingly seek in a partner someone who will re-open our childhood wounds.

    Our adult selves can finally heal those wounds, but the more negative those characteristics are(from critical and controlling to charmingly irresponsible) the more intense the attraction we feel.

    We can get relief from out nostalgia for a past love by remembering that the intensity of the memory does not necessarily mean the relationship was best for us. Remember, what fueled the attraction may not have been love, but your soul's desire to heal the past.

    2. Forget the merge-urge. Subliminally, people in love promise they will meet all of each others needs while having none of their own. This is why we long for the feeling of fullness again, of merged egos.

    But then it was an illusion and temporary and, in reality, it was not love. Had the relationship continued, you would have seen boundaries snap back in place, for no one would have made you feel that high forever.

    3. Are you romanticizing? The persistence of a romanticized memory contains an addictive element but the element is not in the former relationship - it's in you. So toss out your rose colored glasses. Chances are you are romanticizing weaknesses as strengths. Was he self employed because of his independence or his inability to accept authority? A realistic assessment is empowering. Keep a cheat sheet of unflattering truths and refer to it when you slip into dewy daydreams. It is easier to let go of a human then a hero.

    4. There's no such thing as "one and only". Repeat this 20 times. Ask yourself whether deep down you believe that remembering the relationship preserves it in some way. Write a new belief code, such as: "I have never left a relationship that would have made me happier than i am now." Don't mythologize as "one and only" someone who actually might have been unremarkable.

    5. This is me -- free! Visualize yourself saying to a friend, "oh my gosh, I haven't thought about x-mas in years!" Absorb how fantastic you'll feel, how happy and energized, and say thank you for that.

    Remember that visualization is not about vision. It's about what you feel when you envision. Feel your freedom and cement it with gratitude.

    6. Bury the memories. Your brain believes your body, sort of a reverse of the placebo effect. You begin to feel free of the past when you act free of the past! don't talk about the old relationship, don't note anniversaries, or send mental messages.

    7. Turn to creativity. One of the best balms for emotional wounds is creativity, which is different from staying busy. Doing something creative, whether it is writing, drawing, composing lyrics, changing your hairstyle, planting garden, thinking of a great gift, or redecorating a room, connects you to yourself and a power greater than yourself.

    And creativity is deeply engaging. It fills you from the inside out.


    8. Be grateful. Swap longing reverie for gratitude. Be thankful for your blessings, for the good things in your life. This will help you from dismiss what you no longer have.

    9. Exercise to exorcise the "ex". Go to the gym regularly, or go for a fun run. Regular exercise keeps your endorphin levels high and keeps you from falling into melancholy memories.

    10. Shut the door on the uninvited guest. Do thoughts of a past love pop up at unexpected times? Respond to such thoughts as you would to a neighbor or acquaintance who drops by without calling first. Do a mental yawn and look for the nearest "exit".

  • GOING BACK TO WORK AFTER A LONG ABSENCE
    Here's a nice article I found at the library about getting back to work after a long absence.

    If you left your job to stay at home for a while, the chances are you're worried about how to return to the workplace. Resuming a job or career after a long absence doesn't have to be daunting. Follow these tips to help you find a job at the level you want.

    1. Update your skills. If it has been a while since you last worked, it is time to find out which skills are currently in demand in your industry. Network with people in the business and find out what is considered necessary these days. Then either teach yourself, or go on a course. Do this before you start job hunting, so you can include these skills on your CV.

    2. Get in touch with your former boss and colleagues. By far the easiest way to get back to work is to return to the last place you left (assuming you were happy with your job and the company). If you were well thought of and left on good terms, they might find you a position. If there is nothing available, thank them, anyway, and ask for any useful leads and contacts thay might have to help you in your job hunt.

    3. Let your former colleagues, friends and family know. These are the people who are interested in your welfare and will want to help you find a job. Write letters telling them that you are thinking of going back to work. Let them know that you will appreciate any leads or contacts. Include two copies of your CV for them to pass on to people they know. You'll be surprised at how successful this form of networking can be.

    4. Consider freelancing or taking temporary jobs. There are many different temping and recruitment agencies that place candidates of all levels in many different fields including finance, publishing news media, education, marketing and secretarial. To get started, check out job recruitment Websites and job fairs.

    5. Get ready to rebuild your career. Don't be surprised or depressed if you have to take a pay cut when you are trying to rebuild your career. If you were a top level manager or a director before you left, you may have to re enter as an assistant director. Employees prefer candidates who have had recent experience. Don't worry. Take the job - and the opportunity to impress them! With a bit of catching up, you will soon be back where you left off, and ready for promotion.
