13 Tips To Make A Good Relationship Great

Image
Do a Google search on how to get your best body and you’ll be inundated with pages of training tips. For those who want to take that same, proactive approach to creating your best relationship, I have your “exercise regimen” below. 1. Do the things you did the first year you were dating. As the months and years roll on, we tend to slink into our proverbial sweatpants and get lazy in our relationship. We lose our patience, gentleness, thoughtfulness, understanding and the general effort we once made toward our mate. Think back to the first year of your relationship and write down all the things you used to do for your partner. Now start doing them again. 2. Ask for what you want. Over time, we assume that our partner knows us so well that we don’t need to ask for what we want. What happens when we make this assumption? Expectations are set and just as quickly, they get deflated. Those unmet expectations can leave us questioning the viability of our partnership...

Phone Etiquette: Six Mistakes You Should Avoid

Image
Everyone everywhere is talking on their cellphones, and everyone everywhere has committed some form of bad phone etiquette in their lifetime. The use of cellphones is always on the rise, and more people are finding new ways to use their phone in an unattractive and ignorant way. The following are a few things that cell phone users do that is considered bad phone etiquette. 1. Talking too loud. A cell phone is just a phone. There is no need to raise your voice while on it. The people on the other end can hear you just fine. If you are on the phone in a public place (which is already a big no-no), you need to keep your volume to a minimum. Other people in your area don't want to be distracted by your conversation, and they also don't want to know the intimate details that you're sharing about your life. 2. Allowing your phone to ring during special events. Turning your cell phone off or on silent when entering a special event needs to become second nature. If you are goin...

Why do we dream? Find out now

Image
If dreams are the royal road to the unconscious, as Freud claimed, then that route may be a highway full of tortuous twists and turns—leading nowhere. But it affords some spectacular vistas along the way. By turns, dreams have been deemed prophecies of the future, full of meaning—if only someone could figure out what it is—or the effluence of nerve cells randomly unwinding from a busy day. Once considered a hallmark of the periodic surges of brain activity known as rapid-eye-movement sleep, dreaming now seems somewhat less bundled up; at least 25 percent of dreams are scattered through other parts of the night. Dreaming has been seen as critical for learning, or at least important for solving problems—or as nice but unnecessary. It’s an emblem of mental illness—or a safety shield deflecting it. The newest switchback on dreams comes from South African neuroscientist Mark Solms. Maybe, says Solms, we’ve been confusing cause and effect. Dreams, h...

How To Overcome Porn Addiction And Get Your Life Back

Image
Porn addiction is as real as any other chronic dependency. Sure, you’re not injecting or ingesting anything into your body. But chronic porn viewing does have a physical effect (exhaustion of dopamine release in the brain). And the time spent ‘ingesting’ porn is mind-numbing and leaves you exhausted. After hours of viewing porn on his computer, Jeremy couldn’t ‘switch off’ his mind enough to sleep. Internet porn addiction, like online gambling, is easier to fall into, because what once involved going out and meeting others face-to-face can now be done easily and covertly at the click of a button. This availability makes it all the more potentially devastating. So why does porn addiction happen? Am I really addicted to pornography? He sat there in his room and wept. “I’ve stopped going out. I’m scared I’ll get discovered doing it at work. I don’t even want to see my girlfriend! It’s ruining my life!” Jeremy...

Do You Know The Dangers Of Drinking Cold Water? Read Now!

Image
As rewarding as cold water can be, in hot weathers like ours, experts say that it comes with serious health consequences. They warn that one may need to hands off drinking cold water regularly due to its negative impact on the heart and the digestive system. Consultant nutritionist, Dr. Tosin Akinsanya, says even though the body cannot have too much of water, it complains when it has too much of cold water. According to the food and healthy living expert, cold water is at a temperature that contradicts the overall temperature within the body system. Akinsanya says that normal body temperature of the body is between 34 and 37 oC while that of cold water is usually between zero and two degrees Celsius and this sudden change in temperature levels, which usually happens when we drink cold water, shocks the body, leading to chronic diseases in those who drink it over time. “The body is made up of 70 per cent of warm water.

If you want to live up to 150 years, give up sex – Prof. Alex Zhavoronkov

Image
Professor Alex Zhavoronkov , director of the Biogerontology Research Foundation, says humans could reach 150 if they gave up sex . He states that a life without intercourse will enable us to live “far, far longer.”The 36-year-old professor said “I have sex occasionally, but not on a permanent basis and usually with fellow scientists,” ” Because otherwise, and I’m very sorry for saying it, post-coital interactions can be quite boring.”Delaying marriage and reproduction is a by-product of shifting your life expectancy horizons,” he told Mail Online. “It would slow me up and distract me from my research. When you’re planning on living 150 years, marriage is a big decision. You’re in for the long term!’ He recommends instead that we exercise regularly, including sit-ups and press-ups and concentrate on eating less.

Ways to Write a Killer First Sentence

Image
It's a writer's worst nightmare. The blank page. Whether you're writing a book, a blog, an article or an essay for school, you can encounter the same problem. You have ideas but you just can't think of a way to get started. You have to grip the reader from the start, and that challenge can be pretty daunting. It might help you to break down what makes a good first sentence. Dos and Don’ts of Writing a First Sentence Do Make It Personal Unless you're writing an academic thesis, bring your personality into your writing. Write in first person. Even better, address your reader directly as “you.” It will draw them in and make them feel a part of what you’re writing, as if you’re speaking directly to them (because you are). Don't Start with, “This Article is About…” It should go without saying, but it's an easy trap to fall into when you can’t think of anything to write. You don’t need to tell them what you’re writing abou...

How to Choose Foods That Help Maintain Your Beauty

Image
A great smile, radiant hair, skin, and nails, and a slim figure can give you a sense of confidence when going out. The beauty industry sells a wide range of products that promise eternal beauty, yet nothing makes you as beautiful on the outside as feeding your inside with a healthy diet. Choose wholesome, healthy foods to help beautify your outside and make you healthier overall. 1. Drink Green tea :  study of Japanese men was done on the effect of green tea on gums. Drinking at least a cup of green tea once a day was shown to ward off gum disease. It's likely because green tea contains the antioxidant catechin, which can help reduce inflammation. Remember that green tea has caffeine, which can keep you up at night. Drink it earlier in the day if you find that's a problem for you. The more tea you drink, the more the benefits for your gums increase. However, be aware that drinking too much green tea can have side effects, too, such as causing stomach discomfort or even an i...

How to Know if a Person Truly Loves You

Image
There's no guaranteed way to know if a person truly loves you, but there are a few signs to read to figure out what is on the mind of your loved one. You'd like to know if the person you love truly loves you back, then you have to pay attention to how the person acts, what they say, and what they do when you're together. Though love may mean something different to every person, there are many ways to tell if a person truly loves you instead of just having a crush on you, liking you a lot, wanting your money, or just being momentarily infatuated with you. If you want to know if that person truly loves you, just follow these steps. 1. See if the person can truly be himself around you. Part of being love means being completely open to the other person. If you find yourself seeing a whole different side that the person doesn't show the public, then that may be love. If the man you're with is pretty serious or polite in public, but when you're alone, he shows his g...

18 Profitable and Marketable 21st Century Online Skills For Young Entrepreneurs

Image
There is a saying that talent is something you’re born with but skill is something you learn. This means that skill is something anybody can learn despite their age, color, race, nationality or gender. I called it a skill and not a job because you can actually become your own boss if you know your craft very well. In the past decades, professions like law, medicine and engineering were big deals. Every father wanted their sons/daughters to become a lawyer, doctor, engineer or banker. But today the game has changed. The internet has changed the where, when, how and perhaps why people do things. The jobs that didn’t exist 10 or 20 years ago now exist because of the internet. For a savvy entrepreneur, the internet is a goldmine. It gives massive leverage to anybody who is serious about the internet business. The internet is so wide and vast that it can comfortably accommodate everybody’s goods and services. There are many people who still do not have a clue about how t...

10 Interview Question Responses You Should Know By Heart

Image
You’ve researched the company, updated your CV and even stalked the CEO on Facebook – and now you just have to make it through the interview. Increasingly, in order to scout out the top talent, businesses are now throwing curveball questions during the interview process. Asking about seemingly unrelated topics can help give a company a wider snapshot into the person and their life. Recruiters and top career experts to reveal the interview questions every candidate should know the answer to by heart – and how to handle them if one is thrown your way. What are you proud to have accomplished at your last job? This question gives the interviewer the opportunity to learn your strengths. Simply saying: ‘I increased social media engagement’ isn’t going to give your interviewer a sense of what you accomplished. Instead, tell them how you increased social media engagement for the company and why your help was valuable. It’s important to master the a...

Beard Psychology: 4 Signals That Serious Facial Hair Sends

Image
Are bearded men good with babies? Are beards attractive to women? In a fight, do beards help or hinder? If you’re having trouble telling men from women, here’s a clue. Men are the ones with hair sprouting from their faces (alright more hair sprouting from their faces). Some men attempt to cover up the effect of all those androgens by shaving off their beards. Others prefer to send out manly signals in all directions (well, either that or they can’t be bothered to shave). Who is right? What signal does the beard really send? Here are four very important beard-related facts that every man, woman and child should know. 1. Beards are attractive…or are they? Whether or not beards are attractive to women is a big area of controversy in beard-related psychological research. Some studies find that bearded men are more attractive to women than the clean-shaven, others not (e.g. Reed & Blunk, 1990; Muscarella & Cunningham, 1996). The most recent research goes...
