Life is boring if you can never see the funny side of things. There’s a lot of truth in the proverb “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. Sure, there are times when you need to take things seriously but there are definitely also times when you shouldn’t do that.
The trouble is as we get older we often lose our sense of humour. Some complete countries appear to have done this but we won’t go there!
If you’re like most people nowadays, your mobile phone is an almost-permanent accessory. And if you’ve ever left your phone behind, you’ll recognize the feeling of sheer panic that overtakes you. Here are some tips to help you remember your phone so that you’re always in touch.
The fear of having no mobile phone is even so common that it’s been given a name: nomophobia. I’m not sure which is scarier – being without my phone or knowing there’s already a name for this problem.
Along with the usual suspects such as death and taxes, near enough all of us can also be certain that we’ll get older. Unless you can find something that literally turns back the clock (in which case you’d be a millionaire overnight), you can guarantee that you’ll age as you get older. But there are some natural anti-aging ideas that you can use to keep looking good.
There are lots of different components to the aging process. Our genetics come into play but lifestyle and even attitude are also in the mix.
It can be downright awkward if you suffer from a fear of public transport. This is made worse if there are no viable alternatives and you have to take the bus or the subway regardless of your worry.
The cause of your phobia could be one of many different things or it could be a combination of several different fears – we’ll take a short look at the possible causes below and then suggest ways of dealing with them.
Not every child is a natural born extrovert, especially when it comes to speaking up in class. There’s a kind of deer in headlights moment when everything goes into slow motion and the confidence that your child shows in other areas ups and leaves them.
As a parent, you can’t be there as a kind-of guardian angel for your child. That would just look weird. So you need other ways to help your child adjust to the idea that they can speak up for themselves in class without being swallowed up by a giant hole in the ground!
The same can apply in later life – it’s not just children who are scared to speak out.
Most of us fantasize about things every now and then (maybe more often!) but how can you turn the better dreams into reality? Whether they are ideas on your “bucket list” of things to do before you do or whether they are big goals that you want to achieve.
First off, you need to clarify what your dreams are. This usually means writing them down on paper and refining them until they become as close to reality as possible. A picture board works for a lot of people. Or compiling a series of pictures into a video is another good way of reinforcing your goal.So we’ll start with that and then move on to the next steps
It seems like pornography is getting more and more prevalent. With the internet, it’s just a click or two away wherever you are. If it seems that you’re spending every waking moment on sites like Red Tube and Porn Hub, does that mean you have an addiction to pornography? And if so, is there anything you can do about it?
One of the first signs of being addicted to porn is when you instinctively browse to porn sites the moment you’re alone in a room. Of course, you’ll have another tab open in your browser, just in case you need to look “normal” when someone walks through the door. But, let’s face it, it’s easy to get distracted when you’re watching seemingly private scenes on your computer screen, even with the sound turned down.
Another sign is when you start to get unrealistic expectations about sex. Porn is like any other movie – it’s fiction. Girls don’t magically drop everything the moment you walk into the room, guys don’t perform for hours on end in every conceivable position, 3-somes (and more-somes) don’t happen every time as if by magic you want to have sex. But we do get our expectations set by watching these kind of clips too often. So another sign of having an addiction to pornography could be that you keep raising the bar in your sex life and keep wanting things to happen that would never have crossed most people’s minds a decade or two ago.
Deep down, you probably already know that you’re getting more addicted to watching porn at every possible moment.
But it’s not something you can often discuss in polite company.
Which is where hypnosis can come in handy. It’s discrete – much like those movies you’ve been watching – and works with you to reduce your porn addiction without anyone else knowing that you had a problem, much less that you’re dealing with it.
You know what it’s like, you start something but you’re constantly getting distracted from it. Either by choice because you don’t really want to be doing whatever the something was in the first place or because the distractions are just plain more interesting than the project you’re supposed to be doing.
It’s a habit we often start at school, leaving homework until at least the very last minute.
Then we carry it forward into later life, allowing ourselves to get distracted rather than actually complete things.
The good news is that you’re not alone in doing this and also that there are ways out of the hole you keep digging yourself into…
It happens to all of us at some point in time: we turn judgemental on someone or something. Quite often it’s a snap decision – the way someone appears or something in their behavior that triggers a judgemental feeling in us or simply brushes us up the wrong way.
We can either live with these decisions or make a conscious effort to stop being judgemental as often.
Selfishness crops up in lots of different places – relationships being one of the more common – so how can you go about overcoming selfishness in your life?
You may not know if but you’ve probably already taken the first, most difficult, step for overcoming selfishness by deciding to research the subject.
But there’s a long way to go before you can truly claim to be less selfish…
