admin — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 03:08:28 +0000

I work in a Daycare with children 3-12. Two of the kids are the girl i work with Grand kids. One of them is having a hard time with self esteem. She has been Stealing classmates things, and refuses to Listen to her father. She argues over something as simple as brushing her teeth or showering. (Shes 9). The have put her in therapy but it has made things worse. They tried the Big brother/sister program. Didn’t work. She has grown up with out a mother since she was 2. She abandoned them. So I said i would start hanging out with her away from work.

I need suggestions to help teaching her morals(Showering)
Ways to get her Self esteem up.

Any sugggestions or opinions or ideas will help =] Thanks

Well you say she’s a tomboy? Don’t push, but do encourage her to not be so tomboyish. If its the self esteem she needs help with just make her feel pretty, I don’t agree with the makeup at such a young age, but clips and fingernail polish are awesome.
If you live in a rural area, or a small town, go on those long bike rides around town, introduce her to everyone you know so she gets more involved in the community. If you live in a bigger city take her out to the movies, shopping, dining out! Good luck!!

What are some natural remedies to clear up a sinus infection?

admin — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 00:46:08 +0000

I have pretty bad allergies and just about every time the weather changes I get a sinus infection, complete with sore throat and usually an ear infection as well. It sucks, but I usually just bare with it until it clears up on it’s own, as I don’t want to have to constantly take medications for it. Anyway I was wondering if any of you could fill me in on any any natural remedies that may work for clearing up my sinuses, even if it’s just temporary. Thanks

here is 1 way: put chopped garlic into a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam 2-3 times a day. another way is:Mix 2 teaspoons of organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a full glass of warm water and drink it, do this 3 times a day. i hope these help

Are the possibilities for self improvement endless?

admin — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 21:15:11 +0000

The human personality is in a constant state of change. The only constant in the universe is change. Does this mean that technically one is able to drastically alter their personality and way of seeing and perceiving and responding to the world? Most people stay relatively the same over long periods of time, but is this because their environmental triggers usually stay relatively the same over long periods of time?

No. They are not endless. Some things do not need improvement. Some things are exceedingly difficult. And the human life-span is limited.

Possibilities are limited by available resources and opportunities.

best self-help books?

admin — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 00:50:08 +0000

Okay.I’ve slowly been improving my social skills and I’m alot better at small talk and talking to strangers.But I’d like to be one of those people that capture the attention in a room and is well loved by everyone.Are there any books that would help me with this?If so…what book do you think is the best?Thanks!
*sticks tongue out at everyone*

lol.Well,not well loved by everyone.Have you ever been to a social gathering and saw one person whom everyone seemed to like and respond to??That’s what I mean.
AWESOME answer pursueing!!
Oh my gosh,pursuing!I have the book "No Acting Please" by Eric Morris!I haven’t had the chance to read through it yet…but you’re right.Books on acting seem to really help with socila situations.

Interesting. I would take a look at a couple of books. "Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff", "If Life is a Game, These Are the Rules", and then I would look at some acting books, just because they help you to become more comfortable in social situations. The ones I would look at would be "Irreverent Acting" "Being and Doing" and the "Being and Doing Workbook" by Eric Morris. He is often criticized for his technique because it borders on therapy, but that is good for this situation. Start with the "Being and Doing Workbook", it will help. Actors tend to do well in social situations. Goodluck.

please someone help my self-esteem..?

admin — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 05:59:04 +0000

Hey guys, this has been going on for a LONG… time.
I have the lowest self-esteem possible probably. All my friends are skinny and pretty and that’s why it probably gets to me. I have to say i’m not the skinniest person out there…. let’s just say i’m no where near skinny. My body is the number one thing that i hate the most.
I’ve been trying to lose weight for over 3 years now and i’m only 15 years old.
I just can’t do it. I go to the fitness room frequently, plus i go running out in the park while it’s WINTER out. I just can’t seem to lose weight it ANY way. I’ve thought this over and it seems like I eat for no apparent reason. I eat when I’m bored, I eat when I’m mad like honestly what the hell haha. I just feel my self-esteem will go so high if i get skinny (lose weight), but i just can’t seem to do it. Can anyone tell me the basic things I need to help me reach my goal.
PLUS.. trust me on this when i say it but I’ve looked through all the weight loss videos on youtube and all the leg thinning exercises but i just can’t seem to lose even 5 pounds..

There is no other way to lose weight besides exercisein g and eating veggies

Can we learn anythin from -Meditations-by Marcus Aurelius.I know he wrote it as a self help guide. Is it good?

admin — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 04:27:30 +0000

John James….are you happy in your life? What makes you happy? Do you like being lonely? Or would you rather have a partner? Answer those questions, and you won’t need Marcus Aurelius’ "Meditations".
