Are women on a self perpetuating self improvement tread mill that never ends?

Posted by admin on Dec 14, 2010 under Self Improvement

It seems to me that women are always working on some area of self improvement with in themselves. Isn’t this just setting women up for chronic personal dissatisfaction with themselves.

Some probably are. But you talk about self improvement as though it’s a bad thing. I think it’s a good thing to strive to be the best person you can. And seeking to improve yourself does not go hand in hand with discontent.

Ideas on how to choose a self help book?

Posted by admin on Dec 12, 2010 under Self Help

I need help choosing a self help book because there are so many out there and I don’t know what sort I want. I wouldn’t say that I am depressed but sometimes I just feel like tons of people just don’t want to be friends with me and it makes me sad but I’m usually over it in a day or two. My problem is that I spend so much time trying to make everyone else happy and take care of everyone else that I have no one to take care of me. Any suggestions on a good self help book for this sort of issue?

you need a book on CBT look it up its great! try the dummies guide to CBT

Does anyone know of any nice self catering apartments in Marmaris, Turkey?

Posted by admin on Dec 10, 2010 under Self Help

I am looking for a nice self catering apartment in Marmaris, for me & my 2 children, 9 & 11mths. As silly as it sounds, I would like a tv in the apartment for when I am in there and many dont have one. There were 3 I really liked but they are all booked up and they were: Club Anastasia, Club Julian & Club Candan.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Club alize is good as there is a kids club there.. also you can pay for the tv.. its cheap and also has english channels. i stayed there in september and its a very nice place.

Hope this helps you x

Self Help, well? (Troubled Teen?)

Posted by admin on Dec 8, 2010 under Self Help

I know I need help, I heard of ways were you can get help. I don’t want to feel alone. Yet I want too….eh well thats hard to explain…but anyways

I dont beleive in counslers too much and I sure as hell dont have a religion, and yes I tried it, I been going to a private christian school for 11 years. I HATED IT!!!! well anyways, I dont like school one bit. I hate people around me. But one of my myspace friends mentioned I should go to a trouble teen boarding school. But I’m not so sure if that would help. I’m a logical type of person. Would schools like that even have good education programs?

I asume no, but she’s not the only person who sugested it to me, a teacher did once too. But Am I even considered too be a ‘troubled teen’ (look at my previous questions.)

So what do you think? Aren’t most schools like that for teens who gotten in trouble with police, and a same sex school. I couldn’t deal with all females, I tend to feel more relaxed with males, not so drama.

Well any help/advice/etc. would be greatly appriectated.

Before anyone ask I’m 15, in 10th grade, if that helps.

You REALLY, REALLY don’t want to go to a place like that.

You have absolutely no idea what you are in for. Isolation, sleep deprivation, possible no-joke sexual abuse. Death isn’t out of the question either.

I recommend you tell your friend on Myspace to do a bit more research before making horrible suggestions that will get you badly hurt.

How to help a girl with low self esteem.?

Posted by admin on Dec 6, 2010 under Self Help

We are talking really, really low self-esteem. What is the best way to help her realize that she is very cool, and there is no reason to tear herself down like that?

Btw, she is a very good friend.

Constantly complimenting her in the most sincere way possible would be a good way :)
Oh and sometimes girls don’t really believe their close friends and family when they receive compliments from them because we feel like you guys are obliged to say that to us. Maybe she’ll listen to an outsider’s compliments. Little gestures of affirmation from random people make a difference.

why does the health care system practice any kind of holistic healing techniques for patients?

Posted by admin on Dec 4, 2010 under Holistic Healing


Because they are starting to realize that there are people behind those clipboards. People who have feelings, beliefs, values, cultural foundations, social constructs, behavioral heuristics, etc, etc.

Holistic means to treat the whole person. Not just the lab work.

"If you treat only the disease, you are missing most of the patient"
Hunter (Patch) Adams.

When you treat the whole person, they fare better, even if (perhaps, especially if) they die. Health care cannot say that they are working to ‘help people’ if they strip the human element from it.
