When is the GMAT?

There is no specific date (like there is for the SAT) that you must take the GMAT. So you have the liberty of scheduling a date and time for your testing at the nearest testing administration site.

Sounds good. Since I can choose when to take the exam, when is the best time to do so?

Perhaps the most beneficial time to take your GMAT is while you are still in school, or shortly afterwards. Remember, as you gain more real world experience, you lose the test-taking intuition that you used to have when you were in school. Taking an intensive test like the GMAT 5 years after your last rigorous exam can be quite challenging. Test-taking intricacies like operating in a time pressured environment, reading through answer choices, marking answers, and dealing with psychological issues are second nature to you when you are in school, but they become quite unfamiliar the longer you wait after college. You want to minimize this risk by taking the exam during the summer after graduation or the summer between your junior and senior year-this is the ideal time. Remember, the GMAT exam is valid for 5 years. If you have any intention of applying for business school sometime in the next 5 years, you should take it at your earliest convenience.

I am not in college anymore and I missed my chance to take the GMAT during this time. What do I do now?

Dont worry. You didnt miss the boat! A lotof people are in your shoes. You might not be familiar with the pressures of test taking so will need to pay extra attention to doing several practice exams mimicking exam-like conditions.

Mimicking exam-like conditions?

I mean instead of just going through questions on a practice exam bit by bit, you should schedule an entire morning or afternoon to take the exam with a timer. Especially with the Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) format of the exam, you should take these practice exams AS IF it were the real thing, at least several days before your real exam and preferably earlier.

What else should I take into account?

Since you have a busy life with work, extracurriculars, and socializing you want to get the GMAT out of the way ASAP before you start applying to business school. Why? Because later on youre going to be even more busy. Youll need to spend time on your job, but also any community groups you are a part of. Member of an organization that holds ambitious yearly events? Put in the effort and participate on the board in a leadership position. Trying to get a salary raise so you can mention it on your Bschool application? Do what you need to do to get there. And of course when you apply, youre going to need to budget time to research each school you apply to and get a sense of which ones are right for you. The list of things to do will get really hectic once you start applying, so take my advice. Take the GMAT now and get it out of the way before you start your business school apps.

Should I study first and then schedule the exam or schedule the exam and then study?

This is a personal preference. I would recommend you to schedule the exam a few months in advance when you intend to take it. Pay the $250 (yes, not cheap) it costs to take the exam so that you are invested into the exam-forcing you to study. Otherwise, if you casually study for the exam, you may never progress anywhere. - 30535

How To Hypnotise Someone and Increase Your Sales

By Dan Johnson

"Yes momentum" technique is one of the most commonly used hypnotic techniques. This is a simple yet powerful technique to ask a person few questions related to your offer/objective, which all are lead to say "Yes" as an answer.

This tactic is know to be powerful enough to break peoples defense mechanism. This almost every time paralyze their rationality and crash their sales barriers. Let me explain how it works, assuming you are my customer.

"You love your family members, dont you?"

You must cherish their companion, right?"

"Do you wish them to be healthy always?"

"Wouldnt it be great if we offer you a FREE consultation on how to be healthy always and prevent sickness for your family members?"

Did all of your answers come out to be "Yes"? I think they did. Lets take a look at the first question. You can see that I used some words like "love" and "family" in that question. They are "emotional" words that triggered you to come up with some happy thoughts about your family.

Its very interesting to know that your rationality do get paralyzed or reduced rapidly as your emotions dominate your thoughts. This is normally what happens to most of people when they decide to buy things. They buy on emotions first then try to justify it by logic or rationality. The same thing goes to the rest of the questions that lead you to say "Yes" and brought you to so called "hypnotic state".

My last question was good enough to pre sell you and give me an opportunity to demonstrate what Ive with me when I used the word "FREE". Can you see how powerful is this tactic to guide you on how to brainwash someone?

Of course it is up to you to change this technique slightly to meet your business or personal needs. But no matter what you do with it, please use it for good and legitimate purpose only as it is a sin to misuse this type of persuasion techniques. - 30535

Women Men Love And Women Men Leave

10:18 PM in 7, allow, and, back, boyfriend, easy, ex, Get Ex, in, leave, love, men, space, steps, time, win, women, your

There are two types of women in the world, women men love women men leave.  Which one are you?  It doesnt really matter which side you fall on at this point, if you read and use the information in this article you can become the women men love for the rest of your life.
The first step to make sure your man will love you the way you want to be loved, is to know what it is your man needs in the relationship and then give it to him.  This seemingly simple thing is messed up more often than you would believe.  Many women will think this means to be completely subservient to their man and do whatever he wants even if she doesnt want to do it.
Nothing could be further from the truth.  In reality no man (unless hes "damaged goods" which you wouldnt want to be in a relationship with anyway) wants a women who is a door mat.  A real man will like his women to have a mind of her own, but he also wants her to be his biggest fan.
Women tend to think that if they give their man all the sex he wants, and if they dress up in sexy lingerie they are meeting all their mans needs.  Again, if that is truly all your man needs you might want to find a man with a little more depth.  Its a misconception that all men want is sex.  Yes, sex is an important part of a relationship, for men and women, but it shouldnt be the do all, end all in any relationship, if it is your relationship will fail, its just a matter of time.
In order to really form a long lasting bond you need to base  your relationship on more than just physical intimacy.  Whether we like it or not, we will all get older and as we do sex will become more difficult for various physical reasons. If your whole relationship is just based on physical intimacy, how can it survive once that is taken out of the equation?
The women that men leave, believe it or not,  are the women who try too hard to be whatever he wants. Your man needs to feel special and loved, admired, and desired, but it wont mean very much to him if it doesnt seem sincere.  If he feels like you are just being pliable he will quickly get bored and move on to someone more real. 
So for all you women out there, you do have a choice.  You can be either type of women:  women men love women men leave.  Its entirely up to you.  It doesnt mean giving up your own identity, it just means trying to understand your man and what he really wants and needs from you.

Job Stress and Its Role in Employee Productivity

By Patrick Drew

A lot of people get stressed even before one reaches the workplace. Aside from the difficulties of doing the work, you also have to deal with co-workers who may or may not agree or approve of the way you do your work. There would also be some people you were romantically involved with before who would be working with you, and this would be so uncomfortable and stressful as well with past and present work relationships, gossips, and power struggle conflicts.

You may consider writing these stressful events and analyze. Some of these events at work may be similar to events at home causing the same feelings of lowliness. Maybe by looking at these past stresses you could figure out a way to stop feeling the same way in the future. We may be lucky enough to rethink this through and finally find a solution - by having a different mindset.

Look at what causes other people to be stressed and what they do about it. They may be in the same situation you were. They may feel as depressed, helpless, angry, and frustrated. Now you would see that it is a pattern. The mind is patterned to feel stressed, blame others for being stressed out. This has been going on around for a long time, has gone deeper and in circles. Maybe it is time to change our way of thinking and feelings.

Nowadays, a lot of stress goes on in the workplace. Small stuff piles up and becomes big enough for you to say, "Thats it. I have reached my limit." When that happens, do not turn to medications, there are ways to handle these job stresses.

So, is it possible to be stress-free at work? No. We need to know how to deal with the stress and not be stressed by its presence. We have stress management tips which might help.

Identify the stressor: Work? Family? Your partner? Once you have identified the cause of the stress or the stressor, then you could move on to thinking about resolution.

Divide the weight: Divide and distribute the weight. You are not the only one who can carry on such task. Other people at work and your boss may be willing to share the load.

Look from another perspective: It is okay not to make it right the first time. As it is, it is the first and not the end. Take it easy on your work and yourself when stressed out with a mistake.

We will always be dealing with stress in our lives especially in our work. Job stress management is essential to keep us active and enthusiastic amidst a stressful world. - 30535

Now There Is A New And Simple Way To Fully Recover From Gripping Social Anxiety Disorder

4:48 PM in a, and, anxiety, disorder, from, fully, Get Ex, gripping, is, new, now, recover, simple, social, there, to, way

By Jan West

Weve all seen it, so many so-called therapists peddling their cures for social anxiety disorder. Yet what are the chances of a real cure? Downloading file after file of expensive miracle cures adds to the cloak of mystery shrouding what in fairness is just some means to extract money from you. Oh hang on, what about all those free bonuses that come with this instant tranquillity... they are all packages designed to whet your appetite, but in reality they are all bulking agents to make you feel you have got something for your money.

They start off by luring you in with some kitschy sales talk, laying it on thick, then after the premise of a cure they move on to the price. Starting at an overstated price, and then slowly coming down in price, even offering you useless add-ons for free, which you will never ever use! Well, I suppose they have to make you feel comfortable and get those endorphins zapping about inside of your head. That is when you are hooked on what is a supposed cure for panic attacks and they have your money for something that is completely ineffective.

Examined in the cold light of day these downloads, MP3s or instructions are not worth the media they came in or on. Oh yes, they also tempt you to subscribe to other useless so-called special one off offers that will expire within 24-hours or so if you dont act fast. The industry supplying these overly priced fixes really go to town in throwing the hard sell at you, and many buyers fall hook, line and sinker for the ploys used. So do be careful what you buy when it comes to fixing your social anxiety disorder or you may well succumb to another social anxiety attack.

Former therapist and now global best-selling writer Stephen Richards adds comment by saying, "Most of these products on offer to cure social anxiety are nothing more than snake oil pitches, just made to entice the weak willed and unwary into buying useless products. These goods do little more than mask the problem for a short while, not targeting the actual areas in the mind that are in need of retraining. Basically it is all a waste of money."

Stopping a panic attack in a fast way while being gripped by one is not quite as easy as some might claim. Why wait until you are in the grip of fear before applying such a cure? These so-called therapists are just reaping the rewards from your fear. Any decent therapist would, from the outset, be changing the very areas of your mind that set these attacks in motion. One method on offer unrealistically guarantees a100% success rate, and yet in the same jargon it intimates that, well, it is not exactly a 100% fix rate! Very cleaver!

Look at it this way, if you are immersed over prolonged periods in the very act of ridding yourself of social anxiety disorder then that in itself will protract the very thing you are trying to resolve. The very same panic attack you want to avoid will manifest itself at the least expected time. This could be in the form of chest tightness, increased heart rate, dizziness, uncontrolled sweating, shortness of breath, headaches, obsessive thoughts and more.

In the way these cure all products are pushed at you and in such quantity it is no wonder the amount of panic attacks is on the increase. By virtue of the amount of products out there it is easy to be caught up into thinking that it is a fashion to actually have such a disorder.

With some of the methods on offer, that supposedly cure panic attacks, you could actually fill a shoe box up with the paraphernalia that goes with it. The real situation is that medication, relaxation exercises, hypnotherapy, psychiatry or other such treatments are not the solution to anxiety and panic attacks. Yet some audio CDs use what is called embedded subliminals, these go below the level of your conscious awareness.

By all means, use such subliminal CDs, but they are only good if you get to hear all what is said, because if your subconscious mind misses a few words then it could pick up only some of what is meant, and then it all goes wrong! Then there are the hypnotherapy CDs, but one hypnotherapy CD cannot do what would in real life take anything from 10-24 hypnotherapy sessions to achieve. What about those multipacks of MP3s you can download, surely they must do something? Well to some degree they do help clog your computer with useless files that you might actually listen to one day, when you get around to it. However, now there is a real alternative! Yes, a real inexpensive alternative that actually works!

Forget self-hypnosis, cognitive hypnotherapy and listening to subliminal messaging. The real leap forward in fixing social anxiety disorder is indeed quite uncomplicated. Just imagine listening to one audio track for 20 minutes and then seeing immediate results! This is exactly what happens to most when they use the "Releasing You From Social Anxiety CD", which was designed and developed by best selling author and self-help guru Stephen Richards. There is absolutely no subliminal messaging or hypnosis used, as all of that has been dumped by the wayside as worthless in helping to fix social anxiety disorder.

During therapy sessions with private clients Stephen Richards has had massive breakthroughs when it comes to helping others overcome panic attacks. He developed a system that would do away with expensive and wasteful downloads. Downloads that were and are very costly. He has done away with any form of hypnosis whatsoever. His "Releasing You From You From Social Anxiety CD" uses technology which targets the exact area in need of help.

Stephen Richards has developed a method to help overcome social anxiety disorder that is so simple. Just one 20 minute session can do what others claim to do in tens of hours. One other criterion he stipulated was that it had to be inexpensive so that anyone could afford it. After working on this project and fine tuning it, Stephen Richards was happy to proceed to the stage of where it became available to the public for less than the cost of a film DVD.

The method developed by Stephen Richards for overcoming social anxiety disorder is one of simplicity, far less complicated or time consuming than anything you will find on the market today. Where other modicums of therapy take weeks and weeks to achieve results, this can be achieved in just one 20 minute session of the "Releasing You From Social Anxiety CD"! Surely these claims are somewhat exaggerated? Well, if you are aware of how Stephen Richards works then you will know that unless he is 100% happy with anything then he will not make it available to the public, simple as that. He has even pulled products from being sold because he felt they were either not up to standard or too advanced. And now knowing you have someone on your side it should make you more confident to be able to tackle panic attacks head on and in a no-holds barred way. After infinite development, the "Releasing You From Social Anxiety CD" is the answer to many social phobics prayers.

Stephen Richards says, "I was absolutely dismayed at the way some unscrupulous sellers purvey their social anxiety cures. They are just a sham and exploiting the weakness of those in need. They drag out the treatments in the hope of more expensive sessions to follow. I believe in a fix that is inexpensive and also a one that is transparent in what it does. - 30535

Holistic Therapy for Couples Creating Balance In Your Life And Relationship

By Stephen Daniels

Many couples who experience a bump in the road in their relationship turn to counseling for help. Some people do not realize the differences between holistic counseling and traditional counseling when they are trying to work out relationship issues.

Traditional counseling often places its focus on the issues the couple brings to the session to discuss, whether they are subjects of frequent arguments, one partners hurt feelings, or intimacy issues. While working on these surface issues is sometimes useful, this approach tends to be little more than a band-aid to cover only visible wounds while ignoring the imbalance between the partners that is the underlying cause of these surface problems.

A couples individual disagreements and communication problems could be symptoms of a much greater issue - one that will never be addressed by traditional counseling. In most cases, when two people are in need of counseling, both the individuals and the couple as a unit are out of balance and need a more holistic approach to help them heal themselves and their relationship.

Holistic Counseling is entirely focused on helping partners reclaim that balance and wellness for themselves and for their lives together. A balanced partnership is one founded upon feelings of love, trust, intimacy, and joy. As such, all holistic therapy will focus on enhancing these aspects of the bond.

The holistic approach is best for two people who feel like their relationship is out of balance, particularly if they believe that their disagreements are a symptom of a larger issue. Relationships lacking in joy, intimacy, or positive communication can benefit from this method. Through holistic therapy, partners can explore these issues and learn new ways of thinking about their bond with one another.

Holistic therapy may particularly appeal to people who find a traditional therapists approach off-putting. Some participants in typical therapy sessions feel like they are being involved in a moderated debate; others even think their partner and the therapist are ganging up on them.

Another big plus of holistic counseling is that it is far less likely than traditional counseling to result in medication being given to one or both parties. Antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and sleeping pills are often prescribed by traditional counselors. Sometimes, these drugs serve only to increase relationship issues problems. They can cause sexual problems or even change an individuals personality to some degree. This can cause yet another rift in an already fragile partnership. While drugs are not inappropriate for every case, many modern practitioners use medication as a first line of defense rather than a final resort. There is no doubt that swallowing a pill is easier than changing a couples worldview or the way that they work with one another.

Holistic therapy is generally not a quick fix for couples problems. However, it will reach down to the roots of the bond to improve the relationship as a whole as well as both individuals. It is a method created for partners who desire true balance in their lives, both together and separately. - 30535

Events In Our Lives That Cause Depression And Need Counseling

7:54 PM in and, cause, counseling, depression, events, Get Ex, in, lives, need, our, that

By John Bryan

Dealing with depression is definitely one of the most difficult emotions to actually deal with. It is really difficult since everyone goes through some kind of depression at just different times in life. But it is the serious depression, that is, the depression we are talking about having a hard time dealing with. Sometimes it is called clinical depression. That is exactly the one that is hard to determine if it is serious enough to require some kind of counseling. In this article we are going to examine the signs that you really need counseling on depression.

First of all, and as detailed earlier, everyone has some kind of fights of depression from time to time. But actually there are some kinds of events or activities that trigger a person or individual that goes too far. Sometimes, something that is extremely emotional makes it really hard for a person to eventually overcome depression. Emotional moments like a certain death of someone so dear can actually bring about this type of depression. I see this a lot as a depression counselor. This usually happens when a person feels like it is there fault.

Now causes of depression arent always the same for everyone. Something that doesnt affect one person can really cause another one depression.

Sometimes though it can be a chemical reaction within the body. Usually, this type or kind of depression has to be dealt with using some specific drugs. There are times that I have to prescribe some sort of medication running a family therapist practice. I hate to do that but sometimes if the depression isnt from some event in life that is the only solution.

Then there are some kind or type of depression that absolutely comes from issues or problems which are triggered from within the family. Usually, a married couple sometimes might start having a hard time getting along with each other. This surely causes or triggers a rough time in their marriage. I see this type of depression a lot doing couples counseling. If the couple is willing enough to try to work things out, then this type or kind of depression can actually be overcome.

As you can see depression is a serious emotion that needs to be addressed. Hopefully, this will be able to help you to exactly determine when a person requires to seek professional counseling. - 30535

I Miss My Ex What Should I Do

8:25 AM in and, back, boyfriend, do, dumped, ex, Get Ex, girlfriend, her, him, i, miss, my, now, should, want, what

Are you thinking I miss my ex after a painful relationship break up? If this sounds like you, then youre not alone. Missing your ex is a normal part of the grieving process after any break up, but some womens  longing to see their ex one more time goes much deeper than simply missing the companionship.
In these cases, women can feel as though they have missed out on their chance at true love. If this sounds like you and you find yourself saying I miss my ex then there may be some things you can do to win back your relationship.
Even if you think youve tried everything you can to get your ex back, perhaps you need to reconsider your tactics, as some of the things you might be doing could potentially be pushing him even further away. Some things women try in order to get their ex to realize how much they miss him can often make him run the other way instead of coming back to you.
These things can include calling him and telling him you miss him and you love him in an upset, miserable tone of voice. To a man, this sounds like desperation from a very unhappy person. Men like to spend time with people who make them feel good. This means theyll look for women who are happy and confident because they make him feel as though hes capable of making them happy.
If youve ever called your ex and cried about how upset you are now hes gone, then you might have pushed him even further away. Dont worry, though. It is possible to fix this kind of mistake by simply not contacting him for a few days to give him plenty of time to miss you. After all, if youre texting or emailing or calling him all the time, when has he had a chance to miss you yet?
While youre spending some time away from him, you need to spend some time working on building up your own self-confidence. Give yourself a mini makeover. When women look good, they feel good too. Spend some time doing things that make you feel good. Go out with some girlfriends and do some fun things together.
Building your own self-confidence will help to stop you thinking about the negative, upsetting aspects of telling yourself over and over I miss my ex. Instead of this, begin thinking about positive things you can do to become the happy, confident woman that your ex fell in love with in the first place.
After all, when you can put yourself back into a positive frame of mind, youll be ready to give him a call and suggest you both catch up for a friendly coffee and a chat. This will give you a chance to let him spend some time with the happy, confident version of you that he once loved and was attracted to. If you feel your emotions coming to the surface and you feel like you want to beg or plead with him or if you feel like youre going to cry, remember that the unhappy you is the one he pulled away from and broke up with.
So if youre thinking I miss my ex, take heart. There is still hope you can work on ways to get your ex back.

I Dumped Boyfriend And Now I Want Him Back

5:01 PM in and, back, boyfriend, dumped, ex, fight, Get Ex, him, how, i, instincts, love, now, right, the, to, want, way, win, your

So you were dating a guy you really liked and then one day you noticed a tiny little issue about him that you didnt really like and you dumped boyfriend! Just like that!  Out of the blue!  But have you really dug down deep to try and understand why you dumped boyfriend?
Perhaps youve told yourself that it was the way he ate his food?  Or the way he laughed or perhaps even something as earth shattering as the way that he walked?  Whatever it was that made you turn around and end up with a dumped boyfriend, boy are you regretting it now because now, you want him back.  But heres the thing he wants nothing to do with you and everything that youve tried so far to get him back, as failed.
Well, have you tried just leaving him alone for a while?  Because pretty much youve hurt his feelings big time and hes doubtless feeling humiliated.  If youve been calling him 24/7 and hes just not picking up, then thats a clear indication that he needs you to leave him alone.
So instead of bombarding him with text messages and calls, give him some space and take a look at the real hidden reasons that might have caused you to wake up one morning with a dumped boyfriend.
Truth is some girls have been known to test the relationship by ending it to see if their boyfriends will put up a fight for them and the relationship.  If this is what you did, then this is basically flawed behavior.  Not only that, ask yourself why you would even want to put someone who you clearly have feelings for through the upset of a breakup?
Usually anyone who tries to manipulate someone to this extreme, has deep rooted self-esteem issues that they should really think about working out.  Your self-esteem is really the inner you.  If you are suffering from low self-esteem then the little voice in your head often shouts negativity at you and tells you that you are just not good enough.  Take the time to address this and you will be far happier.
To win back a dumped boyfriend youre going to have to clearly work on yourself. No self-respecting boyfriend wants to be around someone who is high maintenance and doesnt know her own mind.  In future, make sure youre one hundred per cent sure about what you are doing and why you are doing it. 
Instead of dumping the guy, why not sit and talk to him about your fears and your insecurities.  He will think more of you if you are honest with him, rather than if you simply lash out on a whim and dump him for what appears to be no good reason.

Saving The Scorpio Woman Relationship

12:07 AM in advice, and, bad, cheating, get, Get Ex, good, how, it, over, relationship, relationships, saving, scorpio, sites, the, to, vs, woman

So you’ve made up and you’re back in a Scorpio woman relationship. That the Scorpio has agreed to try again is a very good thing, because often when people under this sign end something, it’s for good. Understanding the sign and its tendencies can help you heal your Scorpio woman relationship and make it last.

Now that you’re fixing the relationship, look back at what caused the problem. Was there cheating involved? If you cheated, or she thought you were cheating, understand that in the Scorpio woman relationship the potential for jealousy is very high.

This sun sign is possessive and jealous by nature. It’s flattering to have someone feel that way about you, to an extent. But when it’s taken to extremes it can make the relationship very tense and the amount of trust between you can suffer.

Scorpios are one of the signs more prone to obsession than any other. So if your woman becomes obsessed with the idea that you’ll cheat again, it’s going to be a hard mountain to climb for you to convince her otherwise. You have to be willing to give it a lot of time, and deal with a lot of suspicion.

If she cheated and has seen the error of her ways, try not to be too possessive or act too jealous now. It’s all right for her to know how hurt you were and the damage that it caused. But if you mistrust everything she does now, she’ll soon decide the relationship can’t be saved, even if she wants to stay with you.

Something to keep in mind in a Scorpio woman relationship is that Scorpios don’t like to be wrong. If she thought you were perfect or that you would never do something that you did, it goes beyond her being hurt. You proved she’d made a mistake, which is never easy for a Scorpio.

Any time a Scorpio makes a mistake or is wrong about something, she’ll admit it if she sees the clear evidence. So when she makes a mistake, give her time to realize it on her own. And do your best not to prolong it or keep pointing it out. She’ll appreciate that more than you know.

When you’re making up with this sun sign, you might tend to tiptoe a bit. Because of Scorpio’s volatile nature, you might worry that one wrong move could lead to another break up, this time for good.

But one of the worst things that can happen in the relationship is for the Scorpio to get bored. Boredom, for some born under his sign, is often worse than things going wrong! At least when things are going wrong there’s activity and movement.

When things are plain boring, though, that can be worse to a Scorpio than when there’s lots of conflict in the air. Scorpios enjoy challenge, debate and even argument. So when you’re healing your Scorpio woman relationship, don’t be so afraid of making a mistake that you’re afraid to make any move at all.

How To Win Your Love Back And Keep Them

7:17 PM in an, and, apology, back, ex, Get Ex, girlfriend, how, keep, love, them, to, win, with, your

If youre looking around wondering how to win your love back, then youve no doubt found yourself in a situation where youre still in love with your ex, but your ex has walked out of the relationship.

Your first step to get your ex back and win your love has to be to take some time out and get your head together.  It would be a big mistake to try and win back your ex within days of the breakup, particularly if it has been a messy breakup.  So make sure that you take some time to sort yourself out.

Your first thought should always be to look after yourself.  That means avoiding your ex and making no contact with them at all. Its not going to be easy to go from being in a relationship with your ex to making no contact with your ex, but it is vital that you do.  Contacting your ex makes you weak and puts you in a negative and vulnerable position.  Particularly if your ex has asked to be left alone.  Constantly calling or trying to see your ex means that you become less appealing to them.  Exs hate needy and desperate, so back off if you want to win your love back.

Instead, work at sorting yourself our.  As you focus on yourself make sure that youre not spending all your time on your own.  It is very easy to find that when the love of your life walks out on you that you end up filling that space doing nothing but thinking about them.  This is a surefire way to find yourself depressed and low and recovering from depression brings a whole other level of problems that you dont need.

Get out and about and reconnect with your family and friends. Meet new people and make yourself have some fun.  Yeah, its not going to be easy, but if its the way forward to figuring out how to win your love back, then you have to do it.

As you slowly get back on your feet after the shock of the breakup, you should then begin to think about any role that you might have played in the breakup of the relationship.

It is very easy to blame your ex for everything that has gone wrong, but remember, it takes two to make a relationship and two to break that relationship.  So during this time away from your ex as you work on figuring out how to get back with them, make sure that you are honest with yourself and that you claim any part of the breakup that is down to you. 

Did you make a mistake that caused the break down of the relationship? If you did, then you need to figure out how youre going to rectify the behavior that led to the mistake and the eventual breakup.

Though some of the outlined steps might seem counter-intuitive, if youre serious about figuring out how to win your love back, they are steps that you must take.

Self Help Anger Management

5:59 PM in abundance, and, anger, Get Ex, help, law, life, management, new, of, self, the, your

By Samantha Katherine

Besides the obvious advantage of convenience with online anger management classes, there are other reasons to consider them as well. First, these sessions may go far in helping you preserve your marriage if your spouse is often at the receiving end of your anger. Uncontrolled tempers can be severe enough to put a marriage on the brink of divorce, especially if physical contact or abuse is involved in the anger flare ups.

In these cases, specific relationships may be addressed in the anger management class, to improve those relationships that may have been damaged through uncontrolled fits of anger. People who are suffering the physical or relational consequences of unchecked anger may want to consider an anger management class. This may be a husband who is on the brink of divorce or a mother who has trouble controlling her rage in front of her children.

And then breathe deep breaths to calm you down. Anger management children and adult classes dont come cheap, but if you really just sat for a moment you have choices, and justified them sensibly, you should come to the right decision on your own. Lives could be lost in the heat of the moment if all seems red at the time, even for children. Anger management children and adult classes would teach time out techniques for when you can literally step away from the situation.

If you dont know how to handle your angry child, its best to find help. Find a professional who can recommend or set your child up with some anger management activities for children which will help them better take hold of their emotions. Anger management activities for children can be anything that takes their mind off of whatevers making them angry and which helps them focus their energy more productively.

Thats because anger can branch out and affect different parts of your life, such as relationships, jobs, and finances without warning. Everything may end up suffering if anger management counseling isnt undertaken promptly. Putting off the problem doesnt help matters, so if you think you have an anger problem, seek counseling immediately. Everybody in your life, yourself included, will be very thankful that youve learned to control your anger.

Or, as many people do, you might just carry that anger inside, where it grows and grows. Visiting an anger management counseling center can help you deal with both the causes and effects of anger so that you are a happier, healthier individual. Anger management counseling centers carry a variety of programs, but you need to decide if you want to attend public or private centers first. - 30535

Love Relationship Advice

1:23 PM in advice, all, and, back, crisis, for, Get Ex, him, how, in, is, learn, love, marriage, once, relationship, to, win, your

For most people, its pretty easy to find love.  The challenge often seems to be to be able to make it last.  Keeping your love for each other strong is not impossible.  You just have to understand why it falls apart and make sure you, and your partner, avoid those traps.  Thats where love relationship advice comes in handy.
With the advent of online dating sites there are more ways than ever to meet the one.  Its a much better method than cruising the bar scene looking for someone special.  For most couples the first few months is pretty easy.  You are falling in love and you think the other person is perfect.  You can see no wrong in them or what they do.  And maybe there isnt anything wrong with the way they, or you, act in the early stages of a relationship.
They say that familiarity breeds contempt and if thats true it would go a long way to explaining why the longer a relationship goes on the more it tends to break down.
Here is a list of some of the things you, and your partner, need to be on the lookout for in your relationship.  These are common traps that many couples fall into without realizing it.  If you know what to watch out for and can avoid these mistakes you will have a much better chance of keeping your relationship strong and healthy for a long time:
1. Unrealistic expectations.  As I said above we think our new love can do no wrong.  As our relationship slowly changes from falling in love to being in love and all the day to day stresses and mundane tasks we must face, its easy to lose some of that early glow.  This can be a pivotal time in many relationships, sometimes the couple will think that they just dont love each other anymore and break up.
In reality, in any long term relationship, you will spend a much longer time in this normal mode than you will in the early glow mode.  Its important to recognize that this is all a normal progression in an adult relationship.
2. Inability to effectively communicate.  Men and women express themselves differently...thats just the way it is.  The good news is that you can learn to communicate with your partner effectively, if youre willing to take some time to learn how. The whole its a guy thing or its a girl thing is only true to a point, and is largely just a cop out.  In reality any mature, intelligent adult should be able to learn how to talk to their partner, and even more importantly, listen to their partner.  The real question is do you care enough about your partner and the relationship to take the time?
3.  Dont confuse sex with love.  This may sound obvious but men and women tend to look at sex in different ways.  Women, for example, tend to look at sex as a way to connect with someone they love on a deeper physical level.  Yes, its pleasurable, but the pleasure isnt just physical its emotional as well.
Men tend to look at sex as definition of who they are as a man.  For them too, its pleasurable but its also a way to prove their desirability and masculinity.  Sometimes when a relationship gets to the comfortable stage this difference in views about sex can create problems.  If one partner doesnt seem sexually interested in the other partner it can create severe stress on the relationship.
If your relationship gets to this point, it might help if you and your partner can remember that sex is only one small component of every thing your relationship is made up of.  While for many couples, having an active sex life is an important part of the relationship, its important to understand that as you age and your relationship grows, it probably wont be  quite as important as it once was. That doesnt mean your partner doesnt love you or find you attractive, its just a fairly common way for long term relationships to go.
I hope this love relationship advice will help you hold on to the love youve found.  Being able to make a deep, long lasting, connection with another person really is one of lifes blessings.  Make your connection last by learning how to avoid the pitfalls of some relationships.

Saving A Relationship 3 Tips For Doing So

3:04 PM in 101, 3, a, and, cheating, doing, for, get, Get Ex, how, it, over, relationship, relationships, save, saving, so, tips, to, your

Whether youve recently broken up, or youre afraid youre on the brink of a breakup  you can take heart,  saving a relationship is possible.  You can reignite the flame that the two of you once shared.  It wont necessarily be easy or fast, but if youre committed to making it work there is hope.
Ive compiled a list of some of the things you need to do to salvage and repair your relationship.  Keep these tips in mind when you are analyzing your relationship:
1.  Do you really want to stay in the relationship?  I know this may sound like a dumb question but sometimes when we think we want to keep our relationship what we really mean is that were afraid of having to find someone new, or starting over.  If youre brutally honest with yourself you can determine if you really want to continue the relationship or if youre just scared of being on your own.
Another part of this question is to determine if your partner really wants to work on the relationship too.  Even if you decide that your relationship is worth saving, that doesnt mean your partner shares your conviction or will be willing to invest the time and effort to work on your problems.
2.  Honestly evaluate what went wrong in your relationship. Again, this will need to be done by both of you.  This can be the hardest part, its always easier to blame someone else for the problems but its tougher to own up to your part in the break down of your relationship. 
Before you can repair it you need to know not only what is broken but why it broke.  The two of you may even want to visit a couples counselor to help you objectively work through this phase.  Sometimes having an objective third party in the room can help you both stay calm and face things you may not have been willing or able to face on  your own.
3. Try to remember what drew you to each other in the first place.  If youve been in a relationship for a while you obviously loved and enjoyed each other.  So often in a relationship what happens is that the stronger one (or the most selfish one) controls the relationship. They become the one who tends to take more than they give.  The other partner will take on the role of the giver.  Over time the taker will get bored because the fun loving person they fell in love with has become a doormat and the giver will get sick of not getting their needs met often enough.
If your relationship has fallen into this trap you both need to take a step back and remember what attracted you to each other.  This might be a good time to not only remember but to tell the other person.  Remind them why you fell in love with them, and vice a versa.
 Saving a relationship will take time, work, and commitment by both parties, but it can be done.  If you think your relationship is worth saving and your partner thinks so too, than by all means, follow the tips above and you can salvage your relationship.

How to Impress a Girl and Make Her Fall in Love

4:21 AM in a, and, back, ex, fall, Get Ex, girl, girlfriend, her, how, impress, in, love, make, to, win, your

If you talk to any number of super hot girls and approach them, you will start to see one thing over and over – she is going to test you. If you fail these tests, you will not not hook up with her. Period. You will join the piles of men she’s had to reject because they weren’t confident enough.

The GOOD news is, that there is a way to pass these tests nearly 100% of the time.

Most really hot girls’ tests are enough to make men run away with their tails between their legs. If you know the technique to passing, then you are going to be in the VERY small percentage of guys who make it through her defenses and are actually a sexual candidate.

How to Impress a Girl …

If you don’t know this one secret technique, you will fail these tests and never gain entrance into the world of attracting and sleeping with truly beautiful women.

These tests can be one of two types: compliance tests or congruence tests. Today, we are talking about compliance tests. First, let me explain a bit more about these tests and WHY hot women NEED them.

A compliance test is an act or a statement that checks to see if you are going to do whatever she wants. If you comply, she will have gained control over the conversation, the interaction, and you. It seems like they want you to fail these tests so they have the power, right?

Fortunately, that is not the case. When women give compliance tests, they really do want you to pass them. It is their way of filtering out a truly confident, attractive guy from the rest. It may sound strange, but beautiful women honestly can’t just look at a guy an say “he’s good looking, therefore he’s attractive.” They need much more because they are approached by so many different types of guys. A really attractive girl will get hit on 10-15 times A DAY.

That’s 3,650 times a year (conservatively) that an attractive woman is hit on. She will start to see patterns in the ways guys behave if they are actually confident or not, and that has nothing to do with looks.

The compliance test is really a test to see whether or not they’re going to be able to get away with whatever they want. Why you want to test this? Well, they want to find out whether or not you’re used to beautiful women hitting on you or whether or not you’re used to being with beautiful women.

This is a very crucial concept. If you are used to being with beautiful women, you will not bend over backwards for a beautiful woman just because she wants something. Instead, you will respond in a way that sort of puts the compliance back on her.

Beautiful women are guaranteed to give you compliance tests and if you fail the compliance tests, you are guaranteed not to attract them. So it’s very crucial that you learn this.

How do you recognize compliance tests? Basically, look for any demand that she gives you within a short time of meeting that seems small, but gets you to follow.

One very classic compliance test is “buy me a drink.”

Women go for throat here when you’re in the bar because they don’t have a whole lot of time to figure out who is attracted and who is confident, who’s not. How you respond to “buy me a drink” is very crucial when you’re in a bar.

There are other small things like “why don’t you wait here while I go to the bathroom.” or “give me a kiss on the cheek” or even “will you take a picture for us?”

Anything that seems kind of harmless is typically a compliance test especially if it’s from a really beautiful woman and you don’t want to deny the compliance test, what you want to do is take control over it and add your own terms.

For example, if someone says, “Take our pictures.” Then you will say, “okay, I will but I want you to take one picture for you and one picture of how I ask you to take it.” So if they refused to do this, and you go, “Alright, well find some other guy.”

You will actually find some other guy to take the camera and say, “Hey man, can you take their picture?” And you just have them take your picture.
But usually they will say okay fine, you take the picture and you go “okay, now I want you to give me a sexy look.” Then take their picture. “Okay now, make a silly face”, take a picture. And continue to make them do different pictures as long as you can think of them.

Essentially what you’re doing now is you are getting compliance from them. This is crucial. This is called flipping the script and you will hear a lot about this. Flipping the script is one of the most powerful things that you can do to a woman that you don’t know and it will create a massive amount of intrigue and a massive amount of attraction that will be built.

So from now on, know and recognize when women is giving you a compliance test. Don’t stop and don’t reject the compliance test. Add your own terms.

When you start doing this, you are going to see the truly beautiful women in the bar start to treat you in a completely different way. You can actually watch other guys approach, get shot down and see it ruin their nights as you can easily navigate the sea of compliance tests and come out looking like a rockstar, making her more and more attracted to you since you’re the kind of guy who won’t just do exactly what she wants.

This is one of the “Sexual Triggers” that drive beautiful women wild. The rest of them are revealed in this presentation:

What is the Link Between Anger and Depression

10:11 PM in and, anger, between, depression, Get Ex, is, link, the, what

By Rhys Jones

Anxiety and depression are said to be the causes of uncontrollable anger. When a person is constantly worried about problems they have no control over or even problems they do have control over, it often results in depression. If you feel that, there is no way out then your depression can affect your life and cause you to drift down into a spiral of despair.

Taking control of your emotions produces good results. If you feel that the world is crumbling down then you are probably thinking negatively, which instigates depression and anxiety. In this article, we will discuss some techniques to help you cope with anxiety and depression, thus relieving uncontrollable anger.

First of all, let us take a look at the symptoms. Do you feel as if you are going out of your mind? Do you scream in your head: I cant take it any more?. Do you feel like someone is out to get you? Do you think people view you as a crazy person? If you are undergoing any or all of these symptoms then you are probably suffering from some form of anxiety and depression.

If you can not find a way to think in a different mode, then you will probably explode when your emotions start to soar and your anger bursts forth. Instead of telling yourself that you are going mad, why not tell yourself that you are only having a temporary emotional problem and that you need to resolve the situation. Review all your problem areas carefully and search your memory to see if there are answers to your problems there. A review like this, often opens doors to resources you may have overlooked.

If you feel like someone is out to get you then you might have a chemical imbalance or a mental illness. Why not visit your doctor or a mental health expert to learn more about your symptoms and find a way to gain control of your life. Anxiety and depression will play tricks with your mind and sometimes the thoughts are a result of a chemical imbalance.

If you think that people think you are going crazy, you might care to remember that most people have their own problems and dont have time to analyze you as a person. When you walk into a room and think that people are staring at you, you might want to remember that all people watch the things around them, checking to make sure that everything is OK around themselves before returning to their own lives.

If you feel like you cannot take it any more, just bite your lip and walk another mile. When times are difficult, it does not mean it is the end of the world, although sometimes it may seem this way. If you are struggling to pay bills, fighting to hold a family together, or having difficulty with your children then remember that we all have problems like these at some time or another in our lives.

Are your children driving you bonkers? If they are, take a break. Go and do something entertaining or some exercise. This very often relieves the stresses that lead to anxiety, depression and anger. Life is just too short to worry about the things in life that you do not have control over. If you have problems, the answers lie within you, so it pays to look into your head.

If you are really struggling to obtain your goals then you might want to break them down into smaller segments and work slowly to achieve them. If you set goals that are within reason, you will not need to get stressed finding a way to reach them.

It is important to pamper yourself each day. Learn some coping techniques that will benefit both your mind and your body. If you feel overwhelmed, you might want to inhale and exhale for ten counts.

Stretching out on a sofa to watch your favourite film can benefit your mind and body, if you want to destress. Learn to focus on what you are doing instead of fretting about what you are not doing. This often clears the mind and allows you to relax.

If you are subject to sustained anger, you will most probably have difficulties for the rest of your life unless you start to take control of your emotions. Remember that depression leads to uncontrollable anger. - 30535

How To Win And Get Your Ex Back Rekindling Your Love With An Ex

9:32 AM in 2, an, and, back, ex, get, Get Ex, how, love, marriage, my, rekindling, save, secret, techniques, to, win, with, your

Are you dying to know how to win and get your ex back?

It can be a difficult endeavor, because some of the necessary methods seem somewhat counter intuitive, but if you want to learn how to win back an ex, you have to consider all of the things that are mentioned in this article.

The most important thing to do to learn how to win ex back is to calm yourself down before all else. High emotions are not going to allow you to focus on learning how to win ex back.

Instead, you are going to want to take a strategic angle to handling things. Drop the desperation and start thinking logically when determining how to win him or her back once and for all.

If you want to learn how to win ex back, you need to accept and agree with the split. This may seem hard to do but it is vitally important to rekindling things in the future.

If your ex is against future contact, then letting him or her know that you are okay with the breakup may disarm this attack and make it easier for you to talk to him or her in the future. This is an important part of learning how to win ex back.

The next step is simply to live your life if you want to learn how to win ex back. Go out, have fun and spend time with friends. This will show your ex that you are willing to move on. It is going to force your ex to realize how they really feel about you.

If your relationship really is meant to be, your ex will realize it. If they do not realize it, then perhaps it is not actually meant to be. This is a pretty simple concept but still difficult for many people to completely grasp.
Now you are going to want to limit contact as part of learning how to win ex back, because limiting contact sends a psychological message to your ex boy or girlfriend, forcing them to deal with you outside of their normal day to day life.

If you force yourself down their throat, then they are not going to respond well to your presence in their lives. If you limit your contact with them, they will find themselves missing you, thinking about you and wondering how you are doing, and this will force them to come to terms with the future of your relationship.

Following this simple system will help you learn how to win ex back. It may seem complicated at first because it is hard to avoid someone you care about, but these steps are absolutely vital in allowing things to be rekindled in the future. With patience and love, you can rekindle a relationship and learn how to win get your ex back.

About Depression

11:59 PM in a, about, and, depression, fall, Get Ex, girl, her, how, impress, in, love, make, to

By John James

The natural ways to treat depression are much cheaper than prescription drugs and are also considered to be efficient. These include practice, meditation, sleep, NLP and hypnosis also as having a balanced diet.

Exercise is one of the good ways to treat depression because it acts as a mood booster and is believed to be better than prescription medications in preventing the recurrence of mild to moderate depression.

These natural ways to treat depression are more preferred by a good deal of over prescription drugs because antidepressants and sleeping tablets can be addictive and may result to further and added difficulties. But if the sick person is already taking prescription antidepressants, you have to check with your physician if any of these alternative treatments will be good for your case.

Since stress assists trigger depression, you better similarly learn to manage stress effectively and avoid taking illegal drugs or those that were not prescribed by your doctor to refrain from substance abuse.

In a good deal of cases, supportive care that involves counseling sessions with your doctor is similarly as helpful as prescription antidepressants. It would likewise assist a lot if you get aid from family as well as from other individuals having this disorder. Other treatment being considered is the combination of behavioral, cognitive and interpersonal therapy.

You see, I thought it was my problem and that I would deal with it in my own way. But that didnt work out the way I planned. Because, I noticed I was angry all of the time. I was short with my children and I also was short with my wife also.

I tried treating my depression with "natural alternatives". I tried to get my serotonin levels, higher naturally, because that would pull me out of the depression. But again, things did not work out that way.

So I gave in and went to the doctor. I told them my difficulties and they put me on a drug for anxiety and depression since they both fine-looking much go hand-in-hand.

Men may experience a loss of sexual drive and this only adds to their sensations of worthlessness. They see this as a failure and an indication of their manhood. This could not be any farther from the truth. It is a medical condition that is caused from their depression.

Depression is a medical condition that needs to be treated. It is not a sign of weakness and must not be regarded a womans disease.

What causes depression is a lack of balance or state of disequilibrium of serotonin, a hormone, in the brain. It has been linked as a major contributor and a cause for somebody deciding to kill themselves.

The number of persons who are downhearted and die from suicide is roughly fifth-teen percent. Men are four times as likely as women to die from an attempted self-killing, altho women try it more often times but with failure. The elderly have the highest rate of successful suicides with sixty four dieing from suicide for everybody hundred thousand who die in general. The amounts of recorded suicides in the world have been steadily increasing for years now, along with the quantity of persons diagnosed with depression.

Whether or not you or an individual you acknowledge is suicidal you better seek professional assist for them. If what the age or gender, its not a healthful train of thought in the least. Whether or not see it as an undertake for attention and that they wont try. - 30535

The Rise And Fall Of Modern Day Feminism

7:44 AM in 2013, 50, albums, and, day, expansion, fall, feminism, Get Ex, modern, of, pack, rise, the, top

I was raised with two sisters, one younger and one older than me. My whole life I have been fascinated with them as human beings, for they are arguably the most headstrong and ambitious people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Nothing ever seemed like it could stand in their way, and without complaining about circumstance or doubting their own abilities, I have watched as they separately set out goals and pursued them until they have both achieved success in almost all areas of life—or at least more than I have, anyway. And while I am sure they would have a lot to say about the content in this article themselves, from my outside perspective, I never once heard any accusations of life treating them in any unfair manner or witnessed them wallowing in the pool of self-pity. These two girls are among my top female icons.

I tell you this, because they were perhaps the catalyst for my current attitude towards women as a whole. Growing up (and even as I type this), I always considered females to be the stronger of the genders. Boys appeared to have less control, too quick to act in a macho way, pretending to be something they’re not, finding solutions in insults and fists. Girls, on the other hand, were the more nurturing, compassionate version of the human being, much more willing to listen and faster to admit weakness, which is in reality a sign of strength. I honestly was convinced for a long time that there was a secret within society, one where girls controlled the world and knew it, achieving said ownership by allowing the boys to think the boys were in control, whilst quietly instructing us what to do (and by looking at a lot of relationships, this is often the case).

However, this idea came crashing down very recently, directly connected to the uprising of modern-day-first-world-third-wave feminism. You may have noticed it yourself during the last few years, where this mass influx of interest over said movement, slowly dominated our social feeds and sprouted all over our news sources, and while most of my friends managed to escape it, this shit really messed with my insides. You mean to tell me that girls are not part of some organisation which completely controls the planet? You are saying that they, in actual fact, consider themselves victims of our society? I was disappointed, but even more so, was overwhelmed by guilt. As a male, I was shocked at what they were saying about me and my gender, the wrong things we were doing and saying and thinking, and especially the suggestion that none of these girls felt safe because of us. This would not do. I needed to help.

It consumed me. It swallowed me up and boiled me in its womb. I became obsessed. I studied everything I could on the history of the subject, I read a new article every single day (and still do), I joined forums and I followed relevant twitter accounts, making a load of feminist friends (male and female) along the way. I estimate that I know more about the subject than at least 70% of the community, and Im open to be challenged. And, how exciting, it appeared I had joined the army at just the right time. New reports were pouring in every minute, my facebook was flooded, people were making some noise! It was madness! We were shouting! We were spreading awareness! We were making a difference.

But then one day, I made a mistake. I asked questions.

Id done well at grasping the fundamental basics of feminism: the equality of all people. I knew the topics we were fighting against: the pay gap, the sexualised body image, the lack of sexual freedom, the catcalling, the security of women, etc. However, there were some details I was unsure of, factors which seemed either irrelevant, overly-sensitive, or at times, a little excessively man-hating. And so I started querying things, to the likes of:

Do you ever feel feminism is trying to make boys and girls the same rather than celebrating our differences?
Isn’t catcalling a bit of a first world problem in comparison to what’s going on in other countries, gender wise?
I get what we’re trying to do here, but are we proposing problems or solutions? And while we’re on the topic, what are the solutions?
Are we also giving enough time to the gender role problems men face too, like rights over children or statutory rape charges when both parties were equally drunk and consensual?
Is the word FEMinism really all inclusive? Shouldn’t we consider changing it?

And then BAM, just like that, the crew I had devoted so many hours of my energy supporting, turned to face me with claws and teeth and spit and growls. I was told to check my privilege. I was labeled a sexist just for asking. I was condescendingly informed I was a white male, and so I would never understand. In fact, I am willing to bet money that some of you reading this right now, judge me on the same basis. How dare a boy write about feminism when he cannot comprehend what it’s like to be a victim? Just because he takes an interest in equality and wants girls to feel free from harm, does not give him a right to ask questions, correct? He is not a girl, and therefore will never know what it means. Be honest with yourself, is that what you were thinking? Don’t worry if it was, I’m used to it. But you have to at least recognise why, at this point, I started to wonder if feminism was a healthy movement after all. Once the curtain dropped and I had been attacked for asking things, I notice a new side to the story, which only provoked me to ask further questions and make louder jokes. Naturally that didnt help the situation whatsoever.

Its a difficult thing to explain without digging a hole, so I must firstly say #NotAllFeminists, and thank the various people who have taken the time to approach my concerns with intelligence and a solution-based mentality. Those are the girls (and boys) who give feminism a good name and helped the growth of my interest, and I appreciate them wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, such examples were few and far between. More often than not, I saw the word being driven by anger, by insecurity, by a bombardment of keywords, and a disregard to any opposing opinions. It was no wonder I had been feeling so negative lately! I had surrounded myself with hate! This was not a journey of positive change! This was a journey of barking and stress! And so regrettably, while still actively playing my part in the equality of genders by defending womens rights and going out of my way to make the girls in my own life feel safe and comfortable, I had to reluctantly turn my back on the word “feminism”.

And heres the thing. I am not alone.

As with anything in our world, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. The feminist culture has grown so massive and in-your-face, that the inevitable counterculture rose up in protest. And even though I find it mostly comedic, the Women Against Feminism facebook group was a real eye opener to me. It not only showed that feminists weren’t talking on behalf of females (they are talking on behalf of feminists, fyi), but also further revealed the ugly side of the movement. We have women fighting for the equality of women, but if other women didn’t agree with their methods, then they were the enemy along with everyone else—and of course, the enemy was always stupid. I dont know, something about that mentality didn’t sit right with me, perhaps because I figured equality was about freedom of opinions?

But now we had an active “pro-feminism/anti-feminism” debate going on, and as a result, it only exploded further. So much so, that in a recent poll conducted by Time Magazine, the word “feminism” was rated as one of the most annoying terms of 2014, up there with “bae”, “said no one ever” and “om nom nom nom” (note: they did retract this entry later, but the damage was done). Whichever side of the feminism fence you are on, this is a severe blow to the development, one which indicates a general public apathy towards the perpetual vomit of the topic forced upon us on a daily basis. People are getting sick of it, and that’s the most dangerous threat any idea can face.

It continues: not so long ago Amanda Palmer (a feminist icon to many) posted this link to her facebook, which explicitedly warns feminists against overdoing it. It’s worth the read in full, but here is an excerpt:

“...if feminism becomes like the boy who cried wolf—if girls, and women, cry sexism too readily and often—America will stop listening. The minute feminism becomes hypercritical and humorless, it becomes too easy for the mainstream to dismiss our more valid complaints.”

And these type of articles are not the anomaly, they are becoming the norm, especially in regards to how males are often ignored on the subject of equality. Men are no longer afraid to express concerns over the words exclusivity. Videos have surfaced attempting to highlight the double standards of gender domestic abuse and catcalling. Statistics are only now coming out that one in every nine rape victims are men. And while online harassment has recently grown into a hot topic for the feminist world, studies have shown that this too is not necessarily a girl issue.

Just quickly while were talking cyberbullying, we cannot ignore that at times, it is the feminists themselves who are carrying out the attack. Just a few days ago, Dr Matt Taylor was involved in the incredible feat of landing a probe on a comet—which should have been the greatest day of his life. Instead, it turned out to be the worst, as he went viral as a mysogonist for his misjudged choice of shirt, one displaying provocative images of anime characters, and the femternet tore him a new one, calling him every variation of a sexist under the stars until he cried. Perhaps his choice of attire may have been a little on the bad taste side (if nothing else, even in a fashion sense type of way), but it once again exposed the over-sensitivety and brutality of this community. Its just a fucking shirt, yet it shall stick to his reputation for the rest of his life.

All these things are damaging womens liberation too, as it starts to become a parody of itself and reflects badly on those who remember what the real fight was meant to be. How about the conspiracy that drug companies are using feminism against you? Or that adverts are exploiting little kids by paying them to swear about feminism just to sell shirts? These are only some of the examples about how the once beautiful intention of bringing genders closer together, has slowly turned into a war between who thinks what about feminism as a concept itself, rather than what its trying to accomplish. In fact, on any given day, just check Google news, and you are sure to find an almost even amount of reports supporting or questioning feminism (usually about feminism rather than what feminism is about), and none of them will make you feel any better.

But what about the celebrity support? The world cheered for Emma Watsons UN speech, and that was a huge win for the pro-feminist arena, right? Right! But lets not forget a big part of that was her careful inclusion of the social injustices towards men too, something so rare for a public figure to acknowledge that almost every headline focused on it. But even when considering this, there are countless celebrities who have distanced themselves from the word, including: Selma Hayek, Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Bjork, Madonna, Susan Sarandon, and Demi Moore, to name a few. Does this make feminism look alive and well to you? Hell, even those who do believe in the movement are fighting. Its a mess.

To conclude, the problem here is that a lot of people get confused and consider “anti-feminism” to be synonymous with “anti-women and equal rights,” but this is not the case. It is against the culture, the moral superiority, the repetitiveness, and the rivalry, which is not a bad thing to be against. But even with that being said, I still see no need to be anti-feminist myself. I will forever pay attention to what is being spoken about, support what I believe in, skim over what I don’t, admire the past successes, and respect anyone who has this level of passion for anything. But based on how the community all too often neglects my gender and has embarked on a quest to find prejudice within any corner of conversation (at times, making it up if its not there), I can no longer associate that label with myself. Then again, maybe this all serves me right. Maybe I deserve the animosity. I am a male after all.

But finally, the real tragedy here is how close to change we nearly were. For almost a whole year, feminists had the mic, and the entire world was listening. The complication arose when no two feminists could seem to agree on what the priority was, and instead we, the listeners, were hit with a list of a hundred points, some of which contradicted each other and others of which were even rejected by their own comrades—which is just so typical female (lol, joke! That was a joke! Please dont judge this article by that line!). If we had only decided to tackle one issue at a time (say perhaps, the pay gap or catcalling), and focused all that energy and vocal power on destroying a specific factor of discrimination piece by piece, we probably would have solved at least two or three major issues by now instead of alienating and confusing the masses until they were bored with the conversation. And Im worried that at this advanced stage, it may be too late. We may have already blown it.

Productivity is Critical

By Cory James

Ive always been big on the idea of making the most of my time. While I genuinely do enjoy my work, I value my free time even more. After all, I work so hard in order to enjoy the lifestyle that I desire.

I really do my best to stick to my work while Im working. Youd be amazed at how much more youll get done if youre focused the entire time, as it makes a world of difference.

Im going to share a few tips with you that Ive developed as far as strategies go. These all help me stay completely attuned to my work, as once you develop these habits theyll be a lot easier to keep in place.

First of all, make sure that you get an ample amount of sleep. I know that it may be somewhat out of your control, but getting the right amount of rest at night can be the sole difference between a productive day and a waste of a day for me.

My mind simply isnt the same if I havent slept for at least 6 1/2 hours the night before.

In addition to sleep, the amount of exercise that you get is critical too. I go to the gym every day and I find that my best hours are the few hours that follow my workouts because my mind is the most clear at the time.

In addition to that, itll give you more energy to endure through a days worth of hard work. Lastly, it helps you to sleep better at night, which in turn will lead to more productive days.

I would also recommend listening to some music in the background while you work. Find the right volume and make it commercial free, as youre really just using it for background noise, which in turn keeps you focused. This works wonders for me and really gets me into the zone. - 30535
