You’ve doubtless heard the saying “in one ear and out the other”. The same thing can happen with what we read.
You know you’ve read something. You know you meant to remember it at the time. But for the life of you, you can’t remember what it is you read.
So how can you remember what you’ve read?

Most people are less assertive than they should be. Which means that if you’re in this group, there’s a good chance you don’t get what you want as often as you deserve. Instead, the more assertive person takes over.
So, how do you become more assertive?

Flirting is something we all do, whether it’s a conscious thing or not. It’s as though it’s built into our nature – and it kind of is. After all, there has to be a way of getting to know other people and being able to flirt is a useful part of your repertoire.
The trouble is, our self confidence often gets in the way. If we concentrate too hard on flirting, it becomes unnatural and the routine shifts from being pleasant to something else. A bit like your dad dancing at a disco rather than the suave, sophisticated man about town that you hoped would be the impression you were going to create.

Throughout the ages, we’ve always dreamed of living longer. The secret of eternal youth has been a quest that is kind of happening – just think of all the “oldies” jogging along or going out and enjoying themselves – but for many of us, it’s not happening fast enough.
The signs of old age are all too evident: hair graying, face wrinkled, increasing waistlines, all the usual evidence that we’re not as young as we used to be.
So is the idea of living longer just a pipe dream or are there things we can do to prolong our life? Continue Reading »

It’s great to be dependable, the person everyone turns to when they need help. But there comes a stage where this turns from a nice thing to the stage where it’s just an expectation. “Oh, they’ll help, no problem”. It’s at that stage that you start to realize that you’re being taken for granted.
So what can you do to turn this situation before you turn into a doormat that everyone uses but no-one really acknowledges?

We all have dreams at times. Maybe you wanted to be an astronaut when you grew up or dreamed that you were going to rescue the world from cancer.
Sometimes those dreams are pure fantasy (but they’re fun to indulge occasionally). And sometimes those dreams deserve to get more of our attention. So how can you start acting on your ideas so that you’re not forever branded a dreamer by your friends and work colleagues?

Concentration, sometimes called being in the zone, is important for lots of things. There’s the obvious ones like driving a vehicle or taking an exam. But there are lots of other times when you need to be able to concentrate on what you’re doing.
So how can you improve your concentration?
The first thing may sound counter-intuitive, but make sure you take regular breaks. Generally, we’re not geared to long, intense activity. Most humans work better with short bursts of activity, followed by a break. Even a few minutes break will work – a lot of people swear that taking a short power nap is an important part of their daily routine.
Be careful about too much caffeine…

Insomnia is one of those almost invisible diseases. No-one except maybe your partner notices you tossing and turning at night instead of having the good, deep REM sleep that your body needs to replenish itself.
Getting a good night’s sleep is important for your health. Of course, sometimes there isn’t much you can do – jet lag causes temporary symptoms for instance.
And sleeping pills can help with any short term issues. But they are definitely not a long term solution.
Instead, you should be looking at your current routine to see whether there’s anything that you’re doing that could be the root cause of your insomnia.

Hair loss happens as we get older. It seems to be an incontrovertible fact, especially if you’re male.
Of course, if you’re young or your hair starts falling out for no apparent reason, you should consult your doctor as it could be an indication of another problem.
But for the rest of us, we probably need to come to terms with our thinning hair.

If you’re interested in using hypnosis on other people, it is well worth getting some hypnosis training. This will build up your skills and confidence and will also allow you to say to your potential hypnosis clients that you’ve qualified for a hypnosis diploma.
As with anything new in your life, there could be a few things holding you back from taking the plunge and becoming a qualified hypnotherapist.
The good news is that you can qualify in the comfort of your own home. Which is cheaper and more convenient than travelling to attend a course.
