Self Improvement Tips & Resources

Nightingale.

I am a guy in my early 20s and I feel that I terribly lack self confidence. I cannot stand up to anyone if someone shouts at me. I have never been much into sports. I am a nerd and don’t have much life.
I feel like I am a coward and being a guy being a coward in life is not acceptable for me.
People ridicule me.
But I am willing to improve my self. Please help me with some suggestions.

I say get involved. Join an club/group that does social activities. If you have enough nerve to ask your question on here, then I KNOW you have enough nerve to join a club/group. Typically when you join a club/group you don’t have to prove yourself, most good groups want quality members to help the work along and don’t worry about the amount of members, so join and be sure you participate; that’s how you prove yourself, this doesn’t mean join and try to do everything, this means join, participate, and help where you can. Once you get involved, eventually, your shyness will decrease, you’ll have something to talk about, you’ll make new friends, and at the least you’ll have an experience.
Ideas:
although you mentioned you are not into sports, how about giving it a shot?
Get a road bike and join a cycling club/group (one that has beginner riders, intermediate riders,etc)
By some running shoes and join a running club/group (most running shoe stores have thier own running groups)

Take some beginner Salsa, Zadeco, Country dance classes then join a dance group…
________________________________
Although I don’t know you I’m sure the statement "People ridicule me" is more of an opinion about yourself than an actual fact, so stop thinking that or put it in the back burner. Now if it is a fact, people ridicule other people when the person they are ridiculing is doing something right and well, so keep doing right and well…

GET INVOLVED WITH SOMETHING…

I think this is a great question. Self hypnosis or generative trance work speaks to our core selves, the original part of each of us that holds our unique aptitudes and creativity. Going to our source, which is a relaxing and meditative practice, can help us find basic truths about who we are and be a life-altering process. At a minimum, it is a relaxation practice. At a maximum, it becomes a way to heal past trauma and help the individual operate from a place of compassion about the self. From this compassionate and centered place, the individual’s world view expands and so too the individual’s life expands. Personal development, you bet! What do you think about self hypnosis for personal development? A good question indeed.

If you don’t remember or know, In the House (TV series) was a television sitcom that premiered April 10, 1995 originally on NBC (Seasons 1 and 2 aired on NBC, and Seasons 3, 4, and 5 aired on UPN). The series starred LL Cool J and Maia Campbell. The series ran for five seasons, and aired its last episode on August 11, 1999.

Marion Hill (LL Cool J) is a former professional football player with the Los Angeles Raiders. Because of his financial predicament, Marion is forced to rent out most rooms in his house to single mother Jackie Warren (Debbie Allen) and her two children, Tiffany Warren (Maia Campbell) and Austin Warren (Jeffery Wood). In subsequent seasons, Debbie Allen and Jeffery Wood exited the show and the series was restructured with Marion becoming the legal guardian for Tiffany because Jackie and Austin moved east.

The show was noted for its unique take on the character of Marion Hill. LL Cool J stated in interviews that he was interested in making Marion a more well rounded character than is often depicted of male African Americans in television and cinema. To that end, Marion used various "alternative" means of healing from his sports injuries, such as meditation, aromatherapy, visualization, etc. A running gag on the show during the first few seasons was the other characters’ belittlement of Marion’s non-mainstream spiritual and holistic healing interests. (Marion was portrayed as a vegetarian, was meditated and rarely swore. Unusual for African-American male in a 90s sitcom.)

Marion also owned a Los Angeles sports clinic. One of his coworkers was the flirtatious Tonia Harris (Kim Wayans), and two later additions to the show were Dr. Maxwell "Max" Stanton (Alfonso Ribeiro; Carlton Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.) and his fiancée, Mercedes Langford (Lark Voorhies).

The series was cancelled in the Summer of 1998 by UPN and went into syndication. However, for a week in August 1999, NBC aired several unaired episodes which were taped a year earlier; including the series finale, at 1:35 a.m.

I haven’t seen this show much in a while, And I want to know are there any websites besides YouTube where I can watch this series. If so, where and tell me in your answer. If not tell me if there are any DVDs released of he show if Available. If so, tell me where to get it in your answer. a website, a store, etc. It’s not on my city’s stations no more and it will be great if I can know where to watch it. IF YOU DON’T KNOW, DON’T ANSWER! IF YOU DO KNOW, PLEASE ANSWER!

I feel like I have the start of a chest infec coming, I get them quite a bit when the weather starts to get cold so know when i’m feeling a bit run down.
Does anyone know any remedies for a bad chest that can stop a really bad one coming on?
Is there anything natural I can take to boost my imunity? I don’t want to take cough medicines etc because at this stage i’m not too sick, and cough medicines are usually quite strong. Thanks!

Well if you have any faith in alternative remedies then try chinese herbs and phosperous (homea-pathic). Also take a lot of vitamin C and drink warm water with honey and lemon. I promise this always helps me with chest infections. I barely ever have them.

I’m a sophomore in high school and i made my first c ever in world history AP. The grade is a 77. I’ve always made A’s and B’s. What can I tell my parents since they will be mad? I’m so upset with myself:(

Odd, I’m in the exact problem you’re in!
I’m a sophomore and no matter how much I studied I still got low grades in all the AP world tests, therefore, I got my first C ever on a report card.
My parents are strict with grades, they aren’t happy with anything below an 88. I haven’t broke the news to them yet. It’s not because I’m afraid, I actually forgot :\ Well I’m terrified of their reactions of course. And excuses like "I tried my best" doesn’t satisfy them because they think if I really was I would have gotten a better grade and even if I describe to them how unbelievably hard the subject is, they would think I’m over exaggerating. Hopefully your parents are more understanding.
I know this doesn’t answer your question at all, but at least you know you aren’t alone!

well, because it makes you look good to them so they will remember you when there is an opening that you can move forward to. Or, so you can make sure your goals are in line with the company goals. If your goals and their goals are too different, you may want to change your goals, or change your job.

New Show "Spiritual Evolution" premieres May 2, 9am on the 7th Wave Network (www.modavox.com/7thwave). Great time slot following Dr. John Gray’s "Mars-Venus Wellness". Advertising plans start at $250/mo up to full sponsorship including a possible guest appearance on the show. Show is in the "New Age" genre with topics such as holistic healing, meditation, new thought, spirituality, spirit guides and angels, hypnosis and past life regression, animal communication, unexplained mysteries.

I would be checking out websites that are like your show and try and find one’s that have bulletin boards or newsletters that you can advertise sponsorship in. There was an organization in DC, and I can’t quite remember the name, something like Merlins Manafesto, it was spelled incorrectly, and they had members of just the thing you are looking for. Try a search on DMOZ.com and contact those people and seeif there is interest. Good Luck!
