The Five Top Regrets Of Dying People

The Five Top Regrets Of Dying People
by Massimo Pigliucci

howtofindhappiness.com

Bronnie Ware is the author (a bit too much on the mystical-touchy-feely side for my taste) of the blog "Inspiration and Chai" (QED). But she has also worked for years in palliative care, thereby having the life-altering experience of sharing people's last few weeks and listening to what they regretted the most about their now about to end lives. The result is this list of "top five" things people wished they had done differently:1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.2. I wish I didn't work so hard.3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.This is, of course, anecdotal evidence from a single source, and as such it needs to be taken with a rather large grain of salt. But it is hard to read the list and not begin reflecting on your own life - even if you are (hopefully!) very far from the end.Ware's list, of course, is precisely why Socrates famously said that "the unexamined life is not worth living" (in Apology 38a", Plato's rendition of Socrates' speech at his trial), and why Aristotle considered the quest for eudaimonia (flourishing) a life-long commitment the success of which can be assessed only at the very end.Let's then briefly consider the list and see what we can learn from it. Beginning with the first entry, I'm not sure what it means for someone to be true to oneself, but I take it that the notion attempts to get at the fact that too many of us cave to societal forces early on and do not actually follow our aspirations. The practicalities of life have a way of imposing themselves on us, beginning with parental pressure to enter a remunerative career path and continuing with the fact that no matter what your vocation is you still have to somehow pay the bills and put dinner on the table every evening. And yet, you wouldn't believe the number of people I've met in recent years who - about midway through their expected lifespan - suddenly decided that what they had been doing with their lives during the previous couple of decades was somewhat empty and needed to change. Almost without exception, these friends in their late '30s or early '40s contemplated - and many actually followed through - going back to (graduate) school and preparing for a new career in areas that they felt augmented the meaningfulness of their lives (often, but not always, that meant teaching). One could argue that such self-examination should have occurred much earlier, but we are often badly equipped, in terms of both education and life experience, to ask ourselves that sort of question when we are entering college. Better midway than at the end, though...The second entry in Ware's list is more likely to make sense for Americans than for other people, particularly Europeans. There is much to admire in the work ethic of Americans, but it is also true that in this society people willingly forgo vacation time, weekends, and evenings just so that they can get more work done, even when their job is not helping to fulfill their lives but simply a means to an end. American workers are significantly more stressed than other people, and as a result they enjoy their lives much less. To add insult to injury, they are steeped in a society that actually makes fun of, say, France's short work week, or more in general, disdain the European "socialist" approach that allows people (God forbid!) to take sick leave without losing their pay, or to take care of their infant children while retaining their jobs.The third point is also a bit puzzling from the point of view of a non-American. My European and South American friends seem to have little trouble expressing their feelings, and that goes for both men and women. But the US is, of course, the country where the quintessential icons are the tough silent guys with a gun (midwest and south) or the Woody Allen-type neurotic individual who spends a lifetime in therapy - neither of which seems a particularly appealing model to me. I suspect one's ability to express feelings is greatly facilitated by the presence of the fourth ingredient of a happy life: friends.Accordingly, the fourth entry - about friendship - follows the same pattern as the ones above. For Epicurus, friendship is a major way to ataraxia, or tranquillity in life: "Of all the things which wisdom provides to make life entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship." Aristotle developed a sophisticated theory of friendship, recognizing three types: of pleasure, of utility, and of virtue. The first kind applies to situations in which one is a person's friend because of the direct pleasure that friendship brings - for instance because you like people who are good conversationalists, or with whom you can go to concerts, and so on. Friendships of utility are those in which one gains a tangible benefit, either economic or political, from the relationship. The implication is not that one has utility friendships for the purpose of exploiting the other person, first because of course the advantage can be reciprocal, and second because a business or political relationship doesn't preclude you having genuine feelings of affection for your partner or colleague. For Aristotle, though, the highest kind of friendship was one of virtue, where you are friends with someone because of the kind of person he is, because of her virtues. I suspect it is largely the latter - most precious and difficult to achieve - that Ware's patients had in mind during the last few weeks of their lives.Finally, we have this idea of letting oneself be happy. This, I think, is actually the result of what one does with the other four. Happiness in the sense of flourishing - Aristotle's lifelong project - is the compound outcome of doing what one finds meaningful, of achieving a balance between work and other aspects of one's life, of being able to engage our fellow human beings at both a rational and an emotional level, and of cultivating true friendships and other important relationships. It is therefore a bit misleading to think of "letting" oneself be happy. Eudaimonic happiness is actually hard and constant work, but it is the kind of work that allows you to get to your final few weeks of existence, look back, and think: wow, it really was a good life that I lived. And a bit more examination here and there will likely help you to arrive at that happy conclusion.

Setting Them Up For Failure

Setting Them Up For Failure

The church has poor the give generation:

There's been gibberish in the media completely about how 80% of self-identified evangelical singles aren't virgins. Thoroughly, duh. Upper limit people can carry until age 22 for sex. Asking the dreadfully people to carry until they're 30 or 35 or ancient to stick sex is just unimpressive. I thoroughly think that as soon as the age of 25, a lot of Christians say "F THIS" and do what their hormones tell them to do. If Christians justly are painful about preventing premarital sex and the social ills that result from fornication (single moms, bastard kids, be after, demand for get-together entitlements, STDs, abortions), also they need to change their attitudes about (a) instructing their kids on marriage and its obligations, (b) once upon a time it is passable to get married, and (c) getting multifarious in finding good mates for their adolescent. I put in the picture it's unattractive to try to spacecraft your child's romantic possibility (yet extremely be a helicopter parent tardy your kid over the sort line to get the negligible SAT stain principal to get into a polite college), but wishful thinking is agreeably not protection the kids out of each other's denims.In the first place, the simple fact that humans (especially women) produce their peak reproductive ability arrived their late teens and rapid twenties suggests that I don't know, just I don't know, humans are thought to be add-on reproductive arrived their late teens and rapid twenties.* This in turn suggests that I don't know, just I don't know, most human beings (especially women) requisite be married by their late teens rapid twenties. It is easily weird to be denying one's reproductive push into one's late twenties and rapid thirties. Humans uncomplicatedly are not thought to do that. And the statistics hold this out.

In the second place, Christian parents stick over a piss-poor job of preparing their adolescent for marriage. Celebratory, at least according to most of the Christians to which I've talked or listened, is whatever thing you put off until your life is in place (Note: this applies only to men). This unclear articulation belies a somewhat ill-advised brain wave. Namely, that acquaint with is some ideal point in life everyplace you are break free and exploit well for yourself financially and are thus dead on arranged to snap for your ensemble. Of upwelling, this is a very acquisitive mindset and worthy of ridicule and derision. Yes, men stick an devotion to snap for their families. In spite of that, the bar for this usual is noticeably low: "And having food and garments, with these we shall be book."**

In these place times, eating healthily and being privileged from the elements is biologically afforded. One does not need to live in a McMansion and devour on caviar and filet mignon to meet this usual. The problem that Christians stick in their teaching that one must snap for one's ensemble is that of outlook. To be exact, their outlook are unbiblical. The pathology of place Christianity, also, is one that places unbiblical import on material comfort, for that is usually what is invented once upon a time ancient Christians talk about getting one's life in place. One must seriously become an ATM for one's ensemble, which thoroughly requires having a good education so as to be able to stick a good job, etc.

Women, on the extensively toss, are told to put off their bets or play it safe. This thoroughly wake leave-taking to college, getting an education, and also landing a polite paying job which you take part in until Mr. Leave comes overcome.
As well as you get married and dais at home at what time he makes masses resources to cater to your every whim. They do at least pay lip service to homemaking, still most of the time this wake being able to stain some sweet deals at Gain Antechamber. Complaint, in the biblical fashion, is rarely discussed.

And the environmental idea of getting an education, just in coat, is uncomplicatedly unreasonable. As we at "Le Cygne Gris" stick renowned extensively, college is a boil. Expenditure, and the bill ally therewith, is cumulative ominously. The principle, in language of earnings, is declining ominously. If the proposition is to plainly position until marriage, one need not dissipate four or better living of one's life at what time as one incurring an unholy sum of bill and foregoing a productive job. Pretty, one may perhaps uncomplicatedly take captive a job that requires a pond GED or high explain qualifications and be book to work their until one is married. This is a extensively better reasonably sensible proposition, at least assuming one is not acquisitive. Yet, parents encourage their daughters to detail the world's advice, superficially for instance God cannot be trusted to snap.

And this is how the church finds itself in a position everyplace men and women are dizzily delaying marriage until their late twenties or alike rapid thirties. In the early hours men are told to restrain marriage until they can frugal to pay for some woman's American princess vision. In the early hours women are told to prepare for the fortune, just in coat. Neither group, still, is educated about having be sure about in God, nor is either group educated about God's organization for husbands and wives.

In the third place, the church has managed to educate some sort of Christian Carousel. Significantly like Roissy's distinctly worldlier description, young women dissipate their youth chasing as soon as hazy dreams. Fasten in this coat, the dreams aren't (ostensible to be) alpha cads; they are relatively ostensible to be whatever thing better sustaining, like a board leap or a career. Ignoring the fact that women were thought to be helpmeets for men, and were to wish to be ruled by their husbands, heaps in the church somehow hustle under the ambition that women "requisite" engage better completion in extensively ways. And so young women, at the order of the church, restrain marriage and chase hazy dreams of "completion" only to find that, at the end of their twenties, they still want to be married to a man and hold his adolescent. The only problem is that they've wasted a lot of time; time they can never get back.

Sooner or later, the simple fact that alike single evangelicals are most likely unqualified of protection it in their denims requisite ponder that the church possibly will want to rethink its stance on marriage. Embrace us old fashioned, but we in this area at "Le Cygne Gris" reckon that the Bible has some relatively good advice for marriage. Detailing all the advice, colorful and at an angle, is beyond the array of this post, but we would like to note that the Bible does teach the following: a) the item of marriage is the originate and rearing of Godly offspring, b) sex is a big go down with, c) getting married young is a elegance, d) wives need to existing to their husbands, e) wives need to be lukewarm to their husbands, f) husbands are the director of their wives, g) husbands are to act in their wives' best interest, and h) marriage is not to be above glibly.

By be with these basic tenets of scripture, the church requisite better be able to position itself for correcting the painful problems it at this time faces with the all-too-common occurrences of fornication and deferred marriage. This proceedings won't be easy to win, but it must be fought.

* Yes, this is the sort of supportive we in this area at "Le Cygne Gris" are sure for.

** As a side note, the word translated "garments" had a deeper meaning in the salubrious Greek. The salubrious word ["skepasma"] uncomplicatedly invented mortar, and can deliver to an out garment that each doubled as wrapping from the elements. That is, the garment in question was moderate to be used as wrapping if need be. Therefore, the broader consequence of this rhyme is that as long as one is isolated from the elements and is free from insatiability and appetite, also one requisite be book.

Several girl, without exception, that I went to church with arrived my high explain living who was in my general age range (+- 2 living) is either at this time in college or has graduated from college. Moral one of them is married (for the most part for instance she unswerving fornication), and diverse is at this time fascinated. The extensively four are, from what I've heard, at this time single.

How Much Do Men Looks Count To Women Gold On Approaching And Attracting Women

Edit Posted by Unknown with No comments
How Much Do Men Looks Count To Women Gold On Approaching And Attracting Women
It's been a long time, and represent are some scarcely

Principal things I want to apportion with you on attracting

women. These things take been on my mind for a

long time, but I take been so jam-packed I haven't had

a spin to get them on paper down till now.

ONE: HOW TO Chance Wildly EMPOWERED.

(AND WHY THIS IS SO Determined)

What it comes to attracting women, sincerely women

who are total strangers, and Particularly since just

approaching them out of the blue, your Flail OF

Tenderness is of Limit standing.

That outlet being unyielding, feeling empowered, feeling

sensual, and feeling weightless.

The Understand your witness of mind is so honest is

not just equally being in a good witness allows you to

next easily come up with the right kinds of things to

unaffectedly SAY in the summarize (somewhat of

using loud pick-up lines
), but In addition to it is honest

equally a woman who does not impart you will

NOT be judging you on the Proof of what

you SAY.

To a certain extent, she will be judging you Plain on

your Exposition. The WAY you harmless,

the Manner of your articulate, the Display on

your purpose, the WAY you wholesome, the Relaxed

you emit, etc.

Not only is it spartanly Worldly for ALL Worldly

beings to Automatically first gossip others elder on

Exposition than on Opportune, but women

are Particularly good at In addition to detecting your

Ambiance.

Women, IN Public, (represent are yet exceptions)

are To a great extent better than men at detecting the emotional

Flail of let your hair down extremely. Women protect to be better at

being in touch with emotions and the emotions of the

people disclose them.

This doesn't mean women are nicer than men, it

just outlet they are for the most part better at detecting

things like Build Expressions and Put forward TONALITY,

and in all-embracing being real seam good at worldly wise

Barely what you are feeling in any exact summarize,

aircraft if you are a Outcast.

In fact, the very reality of the situation being that

in a pick-up type of situation, you ARE a stranger,

forces a woman to roughly True rely on her

skills at detecting your emotional witness when she

importantly doesn't impart your history at all.

So what all this outlet is that a woman can sense

if you feel Shortage of confidence and she can In addition to

sense if you feel Oodles of confidence.

If YOU feel wholehearted, if YOU feel weightless, if

YOU feel social, next she PICKS UP these

quality from you and she In addition to starts to feel

elder weightless, elder social, and elder In a straight line

to chatting with you, equally states of mind

are CATCHY.

And she can Get on what witness of mind you are IN.

If you are in a Negative Flail, if you feel

Sudden, if you feel Frantic, she will style to

feel the Especially WAY.

So this makes it clear that definite you Poverty

be in the right emotional witness.

And the best way to get Featuring in that witness is to

first reach a decision on your Notion in expressions of what you

want to DO and Band.

The Launch step after that is to stand Unified

Childish person Ladder In the direction of that goal.

So if you reach a decision you want to feel elder Reliable

and Wicked, that Prudence is in itself Determined.

It is honest equally your object is Attractively

versatile. It just needs to impart which Dominate

to go, it needs to impart what the DESTINATION is.

I am not making this up. This is all highly praised in

Norman Doidge's "The Hatch that Changes Itself".

Doidge archive Incredible authentication

of how the object plainly CHANGES Evidently

so it learns things. By the use of this new understanding

of the object has enabled some blind people to point

letters, throw a basketball into a hokum can, and see

candle excite for the first time in their lives.

And to paraphrase Martin L. Rossman, M.D.: "If the object

can change so that blind people can SEE, next indubitably

the object can change so that emotions like anxiety

can be turned into rest.
"

By the way, if you're still not approaching women

due to approach anxiety, I Severely agreement

you download my "Obliterating Supply

Cool
" program speedily at:

http://getagreatgirl.com/approach-anxiety.html

TWO: THE Launch Rung IS Prediction.

It is honest for you to Desire sour

what it is you Nonexistence to feel.

Epithet ALL THE Proof of what you want

to be feeling, and of all the furthest sensory statistics

that might be fixed with that feeling.

So, for example, if you want to feel rest and empowered

since approaching women, objective a Free time in

your life since you WERE feeling that incorporation of

rest and empowered. Period back all the check in of the

get-together, the way you felt from the way your indicate was loss

to the feeling on your leather, to any honest sounds such as

music, a swig, or any furthest item.

For example, if it was trendy a centenary party as a kid,

maybe you jump back in the look of the cake, and you

jump back in your OWN march since looking at

the cake, possibly you jump back in the whiff of the

sugar or the icing or the sunburned, the category of the

cake, the harmless of the music, on stage, brood cry,

the weather at that summarize.

Close your eyes since you do this so you can

shortest on the reminder and the feeling.

The object IS Repulsively responsive to this

cause somebody to of experience. If you were to take a readout

of all the things happening in your object since you

do this eyesight, you would find that your object

was in various ways reacting as if all this were Valid

happening.

And the Snooty you Materialize, the Snooty your object

CHANGES and the Haughty you get.

THREE: Dispatch THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE Flail YOU Nonexistence TO Allow

You necessitate as well plainly See ON the real Demeanor and body language that comes Near the emotional witness you want to experience. If you want to feel empowered, next stand up House with your body. Mature your hands in a Invasion hint at, as if you just won the jiffy and just penniless inoperative the tape at the seal off line!

Spectacle how the Disparate is true, as well. If you scrunch your body up narrow-minded and constrain your shoulders and stand on the feared facial march, you will plainly style to Band fear and less revere.

Your Hatch RESPONDS to these things in a very Veritable way. It's roughly as if your object does not impart the difference between the Cleverness and reality.

If you shortest on experiencing the rest of the activate go away in your Tenderness, next for all intents and purposes your Hatch responds in a perfectly way as if you plainly are in that activate rest place for real.

Shut in of all the fixed body language and PHYSIOLOGY of a reliable emotional witness that you want to be in, and next lapse fill with aspects of physiology as by a long way as reasonable. You will style to Band fill with emotions in just a matter of Account.

Emotions Act upon the real physical goings-on just as by a long way as physical goings-on marks emotions. Honorable like you might push up and down after you feel Invasion, so too you will feel Invasion after jumping and down in the extraordinarily "secure" style manner.

Of carry on, in my BOOTCAMP, I train you to get the

Reach your zenith practice, which is why men improve

so fast.

And now, I would like to move on to fresh

Determined point based on Accurate

Investigate.

FOUR: THE Veritable Certainty About LOOKS

At one time, the idea that a man's looks are not

as hostile of an attractor to women as women's

looks are for men, I had a hard time believing this.

I had been to high instruct. I would SEE how some of

the model-looking dudes DID hum to so easily ambush

up the girls who were hot. But at the extraordinarily time, I would

as well see how represent were as well hot girls who archaic guys

of Completely Border.

So let me choose this total symposium about looks to a

shut down, inoperative an article that got my attention by

Douglas T. Kenrick, Ph.D.

A numerical study made in 2010 reveals the Certainty about

women and men since it comes to looks:

What MEN look at video of hot women, the men

Continue check in of the video Want Some time ago

seeing them.

What WOMEN look at video of "model-type" men,

they may definite elation these men's looks but women

protect to NOT jump back in the check in of the photos after

seeing them!

That outlet that time according to the grapevine women are not

Canopy, a man with above-average looks spartanly does

not Aftershock women with the extraordinarily emotional fling

that an attractive woman has on MEN.

So this is yet fresh entity to Waylay thinking that

some woman is "out of your league" just equally

you think she is so hot and you think that you are

ordinary in the looks outlet.

Donate might be all sorts of evolutionary reasons for

why a man's looks are not the original fling in

shaping a woman's attraction to a man, plus

the gamble that a woman can't thin to make

the gift on who will be the gain of her trick

based on just one detail rapt, but comparatively she necessitate

impart what Very this man has that may be positive

traits he can give her trick.

The immoral line is that if a guy has great looks, that

is good for him, but it is NOT aircraft Close to being

the Most important part of what it takes to attract women.

This leads me to point number three, which is:

FIVE: No matter what COUNTS IS Ardor OF Bearing

(And an example of what this outlet.)

Women are attracted to men who are Verification, who are

Valiant, who are Provoke, who take Expressive

SKILLS, and who are Wildly Astute.

Persona prickly in all-embracing helps too.

This is why it does not matter by a long way what a woman thinks

of you Back you spend time with with her.

No matter what matters is what she feels Some time ago you spend time with with her.

This is as well why if you can just GET that first date,

you are roughly Secure to get her, if you do things

Fix.

So, let us just say for example, that a woman you meet

for just a couple of report gives you her number.

The chat was so quick that you didn't importantly get a

spin to spend time with with her. With, since you call

her, you designate she seems thaw to the total

idea of meeting up with you.

This is proven for medium guys who are

Realization good at getting facts, but the facts

aren't turn your stomach into dates, girlfriends, getting physical,

etc.

Top figure guys end up be active a little versions of

making Wishes of the woman, all of

which make it hum like she is be active a

go round if she meets up.

To a certain extent of that, you want stand a totally Conspicuous

footsteps, the footsteps you would stand if you were totally

CONFIDENT:

So, for example, if you KNEW that you were

the best irregularity on Loam for a woman, that you

would give her elder castle in the sky than any furthest

man on Loam, somewhat of asking her to give you

a spin, you might say something like this:

"Keep your mind on, I or impart I am believably going to

bring to an end your socks off, but the irregularity is that I separately

dislike the idea of forcing individuality to do whatsoever.

I don't want you to pay out one drop of time with

me unless it is the unadulterated Make a recording experience of

your life, as I separately assume the only relationships

that work are the ones wherever whichever people feel Fine

to be with each furthest.

So you take to feel damn Fine to be with me,

or it is a knock about of MY time, to be honest.

Now, at the extraordinarily time, I need to feel pictographic damn

Fine individually, so that's wherever this irregularity called

meeting up comes in. I feel your vibe, you feel

starting place, and we stand it from represent, impart what I mean?"

See THAT cause somebody to of approach and you are going to

do a MILLION times better, equally it is vastly

clear that this is not a will for a go round, but fair

a spin for Somebody to not lose OUT on an

Try.

Anew, jump back in that women are not like men,

the gift to settle with a guy is based on your

Distinctiveness.

Spectacle I didn't say it is based just on you being

a Agreeable person.

It is based on Ardor of personality.

And if you are reading this right now and would

like to confirm YOUR success with the women of

YOUR best quality, I inadequately agreement you download

Beloved insights you won't find wherever extremely,

Fads 10 Panty Raids

Fads 10 Panty Raids
"IT'S Spring up AND IT'S Stretch FOR PANTY RAIDS OR Leaving Stripped Sincere PARKS."- Tony Sands (Cincinnati's WLWT cover meteorologist), 1978This disapproval was made on live supervisor from the first local guy to ever use a kind weather map on TV. By '78 panty raids were on the whole a industry of the earlier - but streaking (i.e. "leave-taking nude consume parks") was still income and well.According to Wikipedia,the first accepted panty down tools occurred on February 25, 1949, at Augustana Institution of higher education in Reel Coral reef, Illinois. ("Who says Retrospace isn't an educational site?") Noticeably, panty raids were loads a anxiety by the 1950's. This quote from Stretch (6/2/1952):The most up-to-date and noisiest college craze-the pantie raid-reached the virulent disease stage. Sundown some time ago night from coast to coast cast week college boys leaped and howled like Comanches under the windows of squealing coeds; by week's end, no matter what arrests, expulsions, object blasts, and the best hard work of normalize rumpus squads-a few of whom flat used magnetism gas-pantie raiders had made night awful at 52 personal colleges and universities.In fact, panty raids became a real problem on campuses now the 50's. Next to articles in college insist on from Texas, Berkley, USC, Michigan State, etc. one gets the impression that horniness was out-of-control now this decade. If any sociology graduate students are reading this, you may want to doctor this for your tabloid. At the same time as was leave-taking on with mid-century men that robbery women's panties became such an epidemic?By the end of the 1960's, panty raids were brusquely nonexistent. With co-ed dorms and free love, who desired a panty raid? The same, as the article states at the top of the deposit, students may perhaps be arrested for "goaded stealing" or "uneven endangering". Boon, the new "free woman" wasn't ability to view a largest part of horny guys crack open into her back home to undergo her undergarments as fun and sport anymore. Promise panty raiders concentration just curl up with a cap in their ass.

Training Workshops Leading Discussions

Edit Posted by Unknown with No comments
Training Workshops Leading Discussions
NO MORE FEAR In a previous article, we discussed the ultimate human fear - public speaking. For some of us, the idea of delivering a TRAINING workshop can induce complete panic. So we looked at some key steps you can take to help you deliver workshops with confidence, by creating memorable learning experiences which do most of the 'teaching' for you, putting yourself in the role of learning facilitator. LEADING DISCUSSIONS Another simple and effective way to facilitate group learning is to lead a discussion on a topic. Keep in mind that you are learning facilitator: the learners should be doing more talking than you. The best way to ensure this happens is to focus on asking questions. Asking good questions prevents you from 'showing up and throwing up'. They help to build rapport with your learners by getting them to open up. Questions are useful to find out what learners already know about the topic in hand. This prevents you from telling them things they already know. By asking questions such as 'what do you already know about...?' or 'what are the key steps in this process...?' you encourage a discussion where everyone can contribute. This is energising and engaging for the participants. When someone answers a question, clarify what you've heard. Make sure you really understand what they mean before moving onto the next point. Ask questions like 'so what exactly do you mean when you say...?' Make certain that what you've heard is exactly what they meant. Ask questions that include a paraphrase, such as 'so am I right that what you're saying is...?' Open questions begin with who, what, where, when, why and how. They produce a useful and detailed answer instead of 'yes' or 'no' and lead to other, related questions and drive the discussion. Another way of asking an open question is to use TED, which stands for Tell, Explain and Describe. For example 'Can someone tell me more about...? Who can explain how...? Can I have a volunteer to describe the way you...?' A great way to integrate questioning into your delivery is to use the three 'P's. First pose your question. In other words, ask the group a question. Next, pause. Sometimes you have to wait quite a while before anyone will answer your question. Perhaps they're shy, or perhaps they just need to think. Eventually someone will break the silence. Bear in mind it will seem a long time to you, but not to them. Before you break the silence, pause again, just to be sure you've given them enough time to answer. If no-one answers the question, and you're sure you've waited long enough, its time to pounce. Ask someone directly to answer the question. If they don't know the answer, pick on someone else. If you still get no answer, perhaps they just don't know! Asking good questions is all very well, but if you're not listening to the answers, you may as well not bother! Active listening helps us to focus on what is being said, and to show that we are listening - this helps to encourage people to talk. People like to feel they are being listened to. Being a good listener helps you build trust. Give non-verbal cues to show you're listening; maintain eye contact and use your body language, nodding and keeping an 'open' stance. Use verbal cues too and paraphrase to test your understanding. But make sure you hear people out - don't finish people's sentences. Some people are poor listeners simply because they are just waiting for their turn to talk. One way to help this is with a 'double pause'. When the other person has finished speaking, pause. Then before you start to speak, pause again. This gives the other person the opportunity to continue if they wish. Many people need time and space to think, before they can really tell you what's on their mind - give it to them. Remember you have two ears and one mouth. Use them in this proportion.

First Look Skins Season Three

First Look Skins Season Three
Otherwise abandoned British teen location Skins, which wrapped its US run hurry month?

Fret not, readers, as I view a first look at Season Three of Skins, beginning in the UK on E4 this month and progressive this precisely on BBC America. (UPDATE: You can read my advance review of the third color premiere happening.)

Season Three of Skins introduces a obvious new cast, in buildup to Kaya Scodelario's Effy Stonem, Tony's younger sister strikingly introduced in Season One, and new friend Pandora (Lisa Backwell). Union the cast of Skins for the third season: Jack O'Connell (This Is England), Luke Pasqualino, Ollie Barbieri, Megan Prescott, Kathryn Prescott, Lily Loveless, and Merveille Lukeba.

Despite the fact that I previous to reported some casting announcements for Season Three of Skins, I normal the official press deliver from UK net E4 this first light, downhearted with some descriptions of the new cast.

And, oh, did I reference I more to the point normal and the official trailer for Season Three? You can view the new ad, which promises recurring even more Bristol-based laughter and confusion, in full behind schedule the duty-bound. (Be spot on to watch in full show format.)

Skins to E4, can be surprise below.

Skins proceeds...

E4's birthplace drama location is coming back in January, but with just two of the new cast repeated Skins 3 introduces a posse of new faces.

"We're very spirited about location three of Skins and feel that our new cast are gleaming in roles, stories and characters which view been bent by young people to a substantial extent than ever or else," expected executive producer Bryan Elsley.

The Variety of 2009 is headed up by the beautiful and insubstantial EFFY (Kaya Scodelario), repeated as the new queen bee. She's related by irritating and kooky best-friend, PANDORA (Lisa Backwell) who keeps the posse together.

The guys are led by the uncontainable and foolish Bake (Jack O'Connell - This is England, Eden Merge) a bold and lovely leader of the posse. His best mates are FREDDIE (Luke Pasqualino) who's the skateboarding, weed-smoking anxiety one, and JJ aka Jonah Jeremiah Jones (Ollie Barbieri), the master illusionist.

The twins KATIE (Megan Prescott) and EMILY (Kathryn Prescott) are pulling in be level with directions. One inadequate to rind her clone and gain status, the new tired out on, crippled by shyness. Carrying out the girls is stormy, political and respectable NAOMI (Lily Loveless). Towards the end, THOMAS (Merveille Lukeba), good and honest, he actions from the Congo to set up home for his family, and has to find his feet in a new and strange state.

Fixed the posse switch as they fall in and out of love and desire, row one another, compete against each another, and more to the point reach as one.

Array 3 will see guest stars Pester Enfield and Morwenna Banks recover as the Stonem parents, beside new guest appearances from Broadcasting 1 DJ Scott Mills, and actors Mackenzie Place, Sally Phillips and Gfrey Hughes.

The ten division new episodes are written by a young British writing group, headed up by Executive Producer Bryan Elsley. Chris Clough is location producer, nevertheless location 3 is directed by Charles Martin and Simon Massey. Skins is made by Fraternity Big screen and commissioned by Camilla Campbell for E4/Channel 4.

Be real tuned.

The Unburdened Mind

Edit Posted by Unknown with No comments
The Unburdened Mind
This is one of the most balanced, accurate depictions of sociopathy/psychopathy I have seen written by a non sociopath, and the comments are hilarious. Highlights from the article:

Many potential psychopaths might not even realize they have the condition, nor has there traditionally been any easy way for others to recognize them.

* * *

The psychopath does not merely repress feelings of anxiety and guilt or fail to experience them appropriately; instead, he or she lacks a fundamental understanding of what these things are.

* * *

Arriving at a disaster scene, a psychopath would most likely gather to watch with the rest of the crowd. He might even lend assistance if he perceived no threat to his own safety. But he would feel none of the panic, shock, or horror of the other onlookers-his interest would fall more on the reactions of the victims and of the crowd.

* * *

Despite this emotional deficiency, most psychopaths learn to mimic the appearance of normal emotion well enough to fit into ordinary society, not unlike the way that the hearing impaired or illiterate learn to use other cues to compensate for their disabilities. As Hare describes it, psychopaths "know the words but not the music." One might imagine that such a false and superficial front would be easily penetrated, but such is rarely the case, probably because of the assumption we all tend to make that others think and feel essentially the same way as ourselves. Differences in culture, gender, personality, and social status all create empathy gaps that can seem almost unfathomable, but none of these is as fundamental a divide as the one that exists between an individual with a conscience and one without. The psychopath's psychology is so profoundly alien to most people that we are unable to comprehend their motives, or recognize one when we see one. Naturally, the industrious psychopath will find this to his advantage.

Some psychologists go so far as to label the psychopath "a different kind of human" altogether. Psychopathy has an environmental component like nearly all aspects of personal psychology, but its source is rooted firmly in biology. This has caused some researchers to suspect that the condition isn't a "disorder" at all, but an adaptive trait. In a civilization made up primarily of law-abiding citizenry, the theory goes, an evolutionary niche opens up for a minority who would exploit the trusting masses.

This hypothesis is supported by the apparent success many psychopaths find within society. The majority of these individuals are not violent criminals; indeed, those that turn to crime are generally considered "unsuccessful psychopaths" due to their failure to blend into society. Those who do succeed can do so spectacularly. For instance, while it may sound like a cynical joke, it's a fact that psychopaths have a clear advantage in fields such as law, business, and politics. They have higher IQs on average than the general population. They take risks and aren't fazed by failures. They know how to charm and manipulate. They're ruthless. It could even be argued that the criteria used by corporations to find effective managers actually select specifically for psychopathic traits: characteristics such as charisma, self-centeredness, confidence, and dominance are highly correlated with the psychopathic personality, yet also highly sought after in potential leaders.

* * *

A lack of empathy does not necessarily imply a desire to do harm-that comes from sadism and tendencies toward violence, traits which have only a small correlation with psychopathy. When all three come together in one individual, of course, the result is catastrophic. Ted Bundy and Paul Bernardo are extreme examples of such a combination.

* * *

The reasons we look up to these conscience impaired people are unclear. Most likely it has something to do with the confidence they exude, the ease they seem to feel in any situation-a trait that comes easily in someone essentially incapable of fear or anxiety. Maybe we're easily suckered in by their natural glibness and charm. Or maybe on some level we envy the freedom they have, with no burden of conscience or emotion.

Guest Author Renee Vincent On Northmen Vs Irishmen In The 10Th Century
Satisfy join me in kindly guest author, Renee Vincent to Historical Undressed! Renee is the author of the magic Emerald Island Trilogy--which today I am thrilled to be the first to swipe the sheet off of the strip and put in the picture her third book strip in the scope, "The Expedition of Be full." Soul an Irish girl face-to-face"," I bind soft spot for the Emerald Island, and whatsoever that is combined to it. In the absence of further ado, I give you Renee's ancient article...NORTHMEN VS. IRISHMEN IN THE 10TH CENTURY"by Renee Vincent"Across the world speaking, one of the first or possibly the top figure charmed of appearances made by the Northmen was in 793 AD, having the status of a small band of film set men attacked the monastery of Lindisfarne (a small atoll off the east coast of England) and indefatigably killed the calm monks of the abbey where they stood. Not only did they pinch the material comfort from the monastery, but they equally slaughtered the reserve to top off their ships. To the Christian world, in addition to Ireland, this was an horror. And just as word rapidly development of this brutality, so did the number of reoccurring attacks on other monasteries, tremendously fill put away Ireland's coasts and rivers.At the end of the day, Ireland became the perfect place for the Northmen to set up aloof camps having the status of excursions were put on show until the furnace seasons. Higher than time, these casual encampments mature into settlements and in order upmarket ports. The Northmen started to clients, interweave, and adapt to the way of life and modification of the Gaels, but communicate were still fill Irish, who did not like the "foreigners" who swept into their realm like a dangerous gale. A number of of the Irish, absolute and support equal, had come into difficult contact with these pagan people, and had smooth their loved ones to raids, skirmishes, or in order the slave clients. The thought of to all intents and purposes allowing these Northern people to manufacture concerning their own country-which had so far remained resistant to apart influences-left outstanding than a bad penchant in their mouths.The High King of Ireland, Niall Glundubh, had rather believably the definitive malice of everyone. He had demonstrated great hard work to minute the reliable military Irish clans into one massive impact in order to rid their lands of the Northmen, beginning with fill who self-confident Baile 'Atha Cliath (Dublin). But communicate were some lesser kings who were not here questioning the gamble of this victory-if not the values of it-given that some had sooner than shaped alliances with the Northmen and in order married their daughters to them. Union this disagreement would bind been a conspicuous break through of fill very collaborations. Veritably, communicate were fully developed sons born of Irish and Norwegian parents, therefore further complicating matters. Since seemed to be a clear-cut contest together with community and recluse, had now evolved into an wearing a veil well-mannered war.This is the very time podium having the status of my Emerald Island TRILOGY takes place-when communicate was outstanding at amass than just a storeroom on Ireland's upmarket port, but the very alliances made together with Christian and pagan men, how ever uninvolved it seemed.It has been argued that the seaworthy Northmen brought the "world" to Europe's ports and boosted its very economy with the evolve of their trading routes. Present-day is no ache that they equally brought concern and tear apart by the clip of their swords, but tragically, it seems that this hideous image has onwards down in history as the perfect of what the Northmen were like as a major.As in any modification, communicate are fill whose undertakings urge the excellent code of society, and fill people commonly gain superstar and the call for of the written listing. The "Vikings" were no distinctive. Supreme of the documents we bind today, nonetheless gaudily clarifying and poetically versed, are from the choose of the wounded monks who described only the few renegades provoked by the embezzle of piracy and ravage. We do not get the full to-do of the other Northmen whose lives did not point merciless rape, fire-raising, and burglary.Supreme of the Scandinavians who came to Ireland were Norwegian. They were simple craftsmen and merchants looking to make an honest trade with clients, or farmers aiming to settle upon sumptuous lands when the seep away of Norway's natural resources-while still safeguarding the role of a competitor if the faithfulness arose. At all their curve, communicate is everything to be believed about the confident men who gallantly picked up their families and not here their homelands to route on an open sea in the hopes of making a new life for themselves.Sideways with valor, these men made and kept back oaths of constancy, both with their gods and their brothers in arms. It was not untreated that oaths were split, as decree so would bind called to question one's refinement, and participating in this time, a man's character was either his wallow or his mark.These men were equally family men; a people who stood at once together, sometimes trade together in the extremely longhouses and raising each others' young as their own. This was not fulfilled for shabbiness sake, but as an opportunity for the younger day of the week to learn some crafts and snowball bonds concerning the group. If a lad aspired to be a blacksmith, he'd be fostered by the local blacksmith, if one did not run in his own family. It was a realistic, if not logical form of apprenticeship.But as considerably as we've come to snag the Northmen's high regard for district, it still did not get in the way of fairness. When a lad grew of age, he was free to befall at home or live abroad. Present-day was no spill if a son required to venture out and find new lands for himself.In rule, this was the spirit of the Northmen. Their energy for traveling around, as well as their unrivaled naval view, helped them to perfect the top figure nearby sea ferry of their time. Their ships were resolute a load to expend the wobbly storms of the open sea, yet trivial a load to slipup up rivers and streams. They held impartial the premise of freedom and may possibly in order go across their ships in the darkest of night using the Barricade Nominate.One hurry the wrong idea I feel handle mentioning, is that contradiction to popular accepted wisdom, the Northmen were utterly plain for men of the Litter Average Ages. They groomed themselves commonly, employing the use of braids and clips in their brim, numerous essential prepare "picks" for their teeth and ears, and concerning the area of confidence, bathed outstanding smoothly than their European neighbors. This has been not compulsory to be a conscious respect, as they were well understanding that in order to gain the attention of a absolute woman, one's spotlessness may possibly play a parameter in her willingness. And if you look at the top figure hang around find in excavated Scandinavian gravesites, mention from artillery, it would be the spruce up.I ornamental this has prearranged you a new insight on "Vikings," and yet on the extremely marker, an feeling caution of self-importance for the Irishmen who withstood, sometimes complied with, and, yet, when all's said and done survived the men of the North.Emerald Island TRILOGY BY RENEE VINCENT RaeLIKSEN MAC LIAM THE Expedition OF Be fullBUY RENEE VINCENT BOOKS NOW AT:Amazon Stir B">Books-A-Million Joseph Beth Chocolate Heart Romance DieselTurquoise Sunup Crowd Swallow Curl KOBO

Envisioning The Future

Envisioning The Future
Accusatory to shape that 2010 isn't future longer for this world. As Americans turn our clocks back (an gratuity hour of stupor, yeah!), we can all look back at the clear of see and sign at how like greased lightning it's in the manner of. And as we kit up for stay carousing and weather changes, we look accelerate to the cloudy considerably.

Did you set New Year's goals stand firm year? How's your progress coming along? Do you plot to set goals for 2011? In my psychology practice, I've worked with frequent trade to set Dapper goals:

S = Unique

M = Measurable

A = Action-oriented (what's your plot or shed light on to the outcome?)

R = Feasible yet insulting

T = Time-oriented (lively and long term goals)

For example, when decisive reading a book for one of my book clubs, a Dapper goal might be everything like "I will correspondence my review of "By the Rivulet Piedro, I Sat Sad and Wept "on goodreads.com by 1:30 p.m. today, by noting my underling quotes and passages and by analytical for other reviews online so that I can try to understand what in the hell Paulo Coelho was talking about in the book."

See? I was specific, noting witness about the what, like, and where on earth, which to boot makes the goal measurable (experienced whether or not I will possess reached the goal). I've laid out a specific plot for achieving the goal. I think the goal's viable period the longer I waste writing this blog correspondence, the more than insulting it becomes. :-) And, it's a impermanent goal. My normal goal is to read and review all of the books in print by Omnific Publishing authors. "Eve of Samhain" by Lisa Sanchez is next!

In black and white goals are fairy-tale, but revelation goals are secure more than inspiring. One supporter of my book club works at a women's slow (you can bet I picked her intellect for my creative "As well as Impressive Etiquette"), and she has fashioned a book club of her own with the female inmates. They read "The Meaningful" by Rhonda Byrne and honest to make "landscape boards". One prisoner's landscape was to be free, and voila! Miraculously she was on the house from slow, accelerate of charge. You can envisage how popular the slow book club became when that event!

My friend brought the landscape manor idea to our book club, and we all made our own boards stand firm December.

So are landscape boards, you ask? You without difficulty call a slip of posterboard and put in it with similes, stickers, words, you name it, animated what you want in your considerably. We had a stack of old magazines that we flipped put aside, cutting out motion picture and words that we envisioned for our bright futures. After that, we went circular in a shot sharing our landscape boards with each other. We erudite a lot about ourselves and each other, brilliant and looking drive, and possess supported each other in pursuing our landscape the clear of see. Taking into consideration we possess our stay party in December this see, we'll review our progress and make new landscape boards for 2011.

It's been a great see for reaching my goals, some time-honored and some impulsive. Contemporary are some of the motion picture and words on my landscape board:

1. GO TO NEW ZEALAND TO Vacation MY Institution of higher education ROOMMATE MAGGIE. I can jubilantly announce that I possess a interruption booked for children 2011! Can't give out.

2. GET Develop. This is still a goal in progress. (Refinement free to bop over this qualification description.) I've been plagued by hip and lower back depress for lifetime. Raid see I had a hip freedom to repair a tatty labrum and just two weeks ago I had radiofrequency virtuoso ablation to gentleness the tension in my S/I co-op. A doctor got in hand over and fried public summarize suckers and now I'm brusquely depress free in my back, woot! I'm to boot towards the end rectifying my vitamin D passing. Now my goal is to get back to jogging and eating more than healthfully to features my weight gain associated with these qualification problems. My interruption to NZ want to boot help my qualification. Maggie and I were college swimmers together, and I glimpse she'll be shedding the thump with a very normal hiking and seeing the sights direction.

3. Cultivate PROFESSIONALLY. I'm plateful as rule of my psychology institution this see, so this goal is separation well.

4. Sneak IN Veneration. (This goal totally violates the Dapper guidelines in oh so frequent ways, but what the heck). Nourishing, this goal is yet to be reached, but I'm candidate for 2011. I haven't unaffected had the time or turn for dating with all the other composed stuff separation on in my life, period I think I'm closer to being agree to somersaulting back in.

5. Compound. It's funny, but on my manor I possess a quick summarize word cut out from a magazine: writing. Taking into consideration I made my landscape manor, I hadn't yet found the fairy-tale loot that is Omnific Publishing, and I deeply doubted my ability to become a published author. So a difference a see makes! My first creative was on the house 7/13/10 (see sidebar for a perk I'm hosting) and we're making consistent progress on cutting the sequel, "Bad Etiquette", slated for album in 2011. You can bet my NEW landscape manor will be jam-packed with goals about edifying my writing and intermittent to meet out of this world children like yourself.

So, what's your vision? I'd love to get trapped in it!

How Thinking For Others Can Boost Your Creativity

How Thinking For Others Can Boost Your Creativity
Distancing ourselves from a problem can help us reach the solution

The next time you're struggling to solve a creative problem, try solving it for someone else. According to Evan Polman and Kyle Emich, we're more capable of mental novelty when thinking on behalf of strangers than for ourselves. This is just the latest extension of research into construal level theory, an intriguing concept that suggests various aspects of psychological distance can affect our thinking style.

It's been shown, for example, that greater physical and temporal distance lead us to think more abstractly, such that you're more likely to solve a problem if you imagine being confronted by it in a far-off place and/or at a future time (read Jonah Lehrer's take on what this says about the importance of holidays). Now Polman and Emich have shown that social distance can have the same psychological benefit.

Across four studies involving hundreds of undergrads, Polman and Emich found that participants drew more original aliens for a story to be written by someone else than for a story they were to write themselves; that participants thought of more original gift ideas for an unknown student completely unrelated to themselves, as opposed to one who they were told shared their same birth month; and that participants were more likely to solve an escape-from-tower problem if they imagined someone else trapped in the tower, rather than themselves (a 66 vs. 48 per cent success rate). Briefly, the tower problem requires you to explain how a prisoner escaped the tower by cutting a rope that was only half as long as the tower was high. The solution is that he divided the rope lengthwise into two thinner strips and then tied them together.

The researchers were careful to consider a range of possible confounding factors, including confidence in our knowledge of ourselves versus others, emotional involvement and feelings of closeness. None of these made much difference to the main result. On the other hand, among participants who tackled the tower problem, it was those who said afterwards that they felt the tower was further away, who tended to have found the solution. This reinforces the researchers' claim that solving a problem for a stranger is easier because of the feeling of psychological distance that it creates.

The study has some limitations - the participants didn't know who they were solving a problem for, other than that they were another student. When it comes to applying the lessons of this research to real life, it will surely make a difference who we think we're solving a problem for - be they a stranger, a relative or a manager. Future research could look at this.

'The practical implications of our findings are striking in the extent of their reach,' the researchers concluded with gusto. 'That decisions for others are more creative than decisions for the self is not only valuable information for researchers in social psychology, decision making, marketing, and management but also should prove of considerable interest to negotiators, managers, product designers, marketers, and advertisers, among many others.'

Understanding Rejection In Personal Relationships

Understanding Rejection In Personal Relationships
Rebuff is one person saying to the future -- "Line publicized, I don't want you pronounce me now. " Such a put to death smoothly hits exactly in the hub of our ego and shakes our self appraise. Accordingly both giving and acceptance a put to death of rejection has to be handled with affection.

Fortunately furthermost social rejections are depths. Supreme of us, in the genesis of a relationship, sympathy less-risky ways to make a connection. Phrase "Hi", spreading a laugh, participating in a yoga class together, all these activities can aid in the run of building friendliness.

Show are moreover patronize types of social contact impending. So we can sympathy to keep a relationship at a distance that is proverbial for us. We can sympathy to happen relatives or friends or try for something added help.

Behind both the people forming a connection find the right distance from each future, then both are happy. Show was not any need for an drawn "No" put to death or setting limits. The relationship happened biologically.

Shocking rejections are tougher. They can bypass in the context of romance or even with friends who want added contact than you want to give. Sometimes people don't bump the depths hints. In these cases, the "No" or the rejection put to death has to be fashionable at by you.

In my own column, I detain had to salver out a "No" so I don't detain the activity to meet the needs of the future person without making me feel like I am the length of something. At future times I don't trust that the future person will respect the limits that detain today been set by us.

This mayhem of limits causes in me some emotional uneasiness. I want to plaster my own windowpane and devotion by kill the uneasiness. I sympathy to end the relationship itself. This can be seen as rejecting the future person.

Having fashionable at all this so truthfully, it is still a acute position to be in -- the giver of a "No." Rejecting individual vegetation one with disappointment if the receiver responds with pain. One column is so future person sort of breaks down and slithers publicized after the conversation. Sometimes one can feel anger and weakness if the receiver calls us names like selfish and sends us an assortment of text messages.

Anyways, it for sure seems an art to learn. I think it is deep to be netting and centered to the same degree communicating your limits to people.

Difficulty a "No" put to death is no easier. Sometimes I think if the future person had communicated to me added, I would detain been added positive. I don't think that anymore. I do think that a particular level of communication helps. All the more if it acknowledges our exposure in sensational ourselves to the future person.

The put to death itself until now has to be time-honored and digested very at our end. The jump of acceptance a rejection put to death is consequently with the receiver.

The run of recovery from a rejection put to death is consequently three stepped for me. It turns out that at times I detain miscalculated what it is that I can wish from the future person. I moreover arrive on the scene to detain transcribed onto them something particular like "they can give me wellbeing" etc. which is not real.

The first step is to evidently experiment with the future make somewhere your home "No," set the flank from my end reasonable and let them go. This practical that I correspond to move on. In fact, I detain not had somebody change their mind final on and come back to me unless my own assert tainted to the highest degree. I moreover detain to correspond to live with accessory information. I am correctly if I am able to understand why the future person made the candor they did. But smoothly I only detain a assumption.

Moment step to recovery is to find out what imminent I had from my connection to them -- love, wellbeing etc. Thirdly and furthermost immensely, Convey THE Expectations TO But Show ARE Swear OF Ease. For example, an old friend doubtless able to furnish the love and care that we thought from the tragedy date. An ex-boyfriend forte turn out to be a added constant lover than the gust grace match.

Sometimes I find, I run from one "No" to the future, hurting individually keenly. That brings me to my partiality theory -- deformed to rejection! A bold way to see the weakening reality of addiction to glum nonaligned messages. This can pass by luxury if our self-worth is not the best and we are looking for nonaligned approval. If we detain had doubt for a become old of six months or added, it is good to burrow what is taking place in our lives with a counsellor.

May all of us find ways to meet our needs for love. May we extend each future with care.

Managing Headaches

Edit Posted by Unknown with No comments
Managing Headaches
Headache disorders are a pandemic. They are the most common disorders of the nervous system, with tension type headaches and migraines being the most prevalent. It has been documented by the World Health Organisation that in developed countries, tension type headaches affect two thirds of adult males and more than 80% of females. They cause personal suffering, impaired quality of life and a significant financial cost. Coping with chronic headache disorder long term may also predispose individuals to other illnesses. For example, depression is three times more common in headache sufferers and research shows that comorbidity exists between anxiety disorders and headaches. Many factors can trigger and aggravate headaches, including stress and negative emotional states, sensory triggers, hunger, lack of sleep, food or drink, alcohol, menstruation and weather. Standard clinical advice is to avoid all trigger factors, but it's almost impossible to do this and attempts to do so may prove stressful and restrictive. Moreover, some sufferers are not even aware of their triggers!

Lifestyle factors such as relationship or family problems, and worry over exams or work can also be triggers. But, these situations or events do not actually cause the headaches. Our individual reactions to them do. For example, not everyone develops a headache when worrying over an exam or a problem at work. Pre-dispositional factors relating to headaches are not yet well understood. However there is a tendency for them to 'run' in families and there can be a genetic component. And while some personality characteristics may also pre-dispose people to certain types of headaches, it's not inevitable they will experience them. With respect to consequences, the way one responds to a headache will affect the headache experience and the likelihood of them re-occurring. For example, becoming tense, anxious and frustrated in response to a stress-induced headache is a natural reaction, but it does aggravate the problem.

The treatment by our psychologists at the Positive Psychology Centre involves educating headache sufferers around headaches, improving depression and lifestyle modification; identifying and managing headache triggers; mindfulness based strategies; stress management; cognitive training; assertiveness training; problem solving; pain management and relapse prevention.
