Can Marriage Counseling Help?

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

By Harry Clinton III When things are not going well in a marriage, many times one spouse will suggest some form of counseling from a professional therapist. Any marriage may hit bumps in the road at times and its always a good idea to seek profession help even if both parties may not be sure it is needed or required. Relational problems may have created havoc in your marriage for some time, before a spouse says something to the other about actually reaching out for help. Once a couple has realized they may need help from the outside, their reluctance has to do with shyness about sharing their personal details. However, once identified, the question becomes, how does one seek help….and will the counseling actually be beneficial? Many types of counselors and therapist are available to help you resolve a troubled marriage. It is always a good idea to make sure whom is considered has the appropriate state certifications to practice. First, a therapists is going to want to identify where in the relationship the couple has reached a stalemate. Uncovering ‘the where’ will cue the counselor into how to start therapy. In the beginning of a counseling program, one of the primary things your therapist will seek to identify is what is at the core of the marital conflict. Seeking to pinpoint the heart of the turmoil is the hardest part of starting a therapy program and getting on the road to marital recover. Keep in mind that your counselor is a guide to helping you discover the hot spot of your marital issues. Early on in marital counseling, questions will be presented to the couple designed to help draw out problematic issues affecting marriage such as possible affairs, blended families, child disciplinary disputes, lack of desire toward one another, money problems, parents-in-law issues, emotional and physical violence, and a virtual catalog of possible issues destroying the marriage union. A therapist trained in marital counseling will guide the conflicted couple toward a non-threatening and peaceful environment. Openness encourages emotional truthfulness which in turn plants the seed of a new desire and caring for each other. Emotional, physical, and verbal signs often say one thing, while passing on different cues to the recipient. That is why a skilled marriage therapist can dig these contradictions out of the patient, lay them on the virtual table and help the couple isolate and control their negative tendencies towards one another. The therapist acting as the ‘marital mentor’, guides and shows ways of developing concrete tools which can be applied in all walks of life outside of the counseling sessions toward a loving and fruitful relationship. These new found skills avail the couple ways to an improved closeness and diminishes the unstable and rocky altercations which have previous ensued.

Losing Weight Is More Than Just Dieting - It Is About Quality of Life And Productivity

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Connie Ragen Green There are so many diets that promise quick and easy weight loss but they seldom talk about losing weight as part of your overall health plan. If you follow sensible guidelines for eating, exercising, and daily living you will lose weight without having to think about it. Everyone knows that to lose weight you simply have to eat less and exercise more. Losing weight while maintaining or even improving your overall health takes more time and effort but it will be worth it for years to come. Avoid or discontinue use of any tobacco products. No good can come from smoking, using chewing tobacco or exposing yourself to secondhand smoke. Making sure that you always follow this in your daily life can extend the length and quality of your life.Eat some fresh fruits and vegetables every day. Find ones that you like and eat them every single day. They may reduce the risk of contracting some forms of cancer.Limit your salt intake. Try to get used to foods without adding any additional salt.Do not eat anything that contains trans fats. They are being eliminated from most restaurant menus. Eliminate them from your own cooking.See a doctor once a year to check your cholesterol and other vital signs, including your blood pressure.Try to eliminate sugar from your diet. Use sunblock if you must be out in the sun. Avoid direct sun for extended periods of time if it is at all possible.Walk every day for at least twenty minutes. This will help you to lose weight and give you time to think about your life in a positive way.If you follow these guidelines you will be happier, healthier, and more productive than you could ever imagine. Remember that the way you live each day will have an effect on the length and quality of your life as you age. Connie Ragen Green is motivational speaker and writer.

US Flags

Monday, July 30th, 2007

By Alison Cole The national flag of the United States of America is a symbol of strength, unity, and freedom. The flag is often referred to as the stars and stripes or old glory. The national flag has been an inspiration for millions of people over a period of about 230 years. Today, the flag consists of thirteen horizontal stripes; of the thirteen stripes, there are seven red alternating with six white. The stripes represent the original thirteen colonies; the stars represent the fifty states. The color red symbolizes hardness and valor, white represents purity and innocence, and the blue symbolizes vigilance, perseverance, and justice. The U.S. has State flags for each of the fifty States. There is a separate flag for District of Columbia, Washington, D.C. There is also another flag for Puerto Rico, a commonwealth associated with the U.S. Apart from all of the aforementioned flags, there is the United States service flag, the U.S. Army Flag, U.S. Marine Corps Flag, U.S. Navy Flag, and flags of various organizations and institutions. The U.S. flag that is of the utmost importance is the national flag, to which the greatest respect should be paid. No other flag can be flown above the national flag. It was Betsy Ross, a seamstress from Philadelphia, who made the first U.S. flag in 1777. The famous name old glory was coined by Captain William Driver, a shipmaster of Salem, Massachusetts, in 1831. It is imperative that no one show disrespect to the national flag. The national flag should never be dipped or lowered to any person or thing. However, Regimental colors, State flags, and organizational or institutional flags should be dipped as a mark of honor. The stars and stripes have changed in numbers and their order of placement, but these bestow on millions of people the inspiration, strength, and courage to fight for unity, freedom and justice. US Flags provides detailed information on US Flags, US State Flags, US Flag Etiquette, US Flag History and more. US Flags is affiliated with American Flags for Cars.

Sim Free Mobile Phones

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jennifer_Lopaz]Jennifer Lopaz Unlike Pay as you go phones or Contract mobile phones, Sim free phones are the no-strings attached phones! Thereby meaning that handsets which are purchased separately without a network connection or a Sim card! Sim free phones are relatively expensive than Pay as you go and Contract mobile phones for they are bought without any discounted deals or promotion packages. These phones give the user the liberty to choose a service provider of their choice who meets their exact requirements! It largely depends on the personal choice when it comes to choosing a Sim free phone as opposed to a contract phone or a pay as you go phone.If you want the ability to choose the lowest rates during the times when you call the most, you could browse through the calling rates of each service provider and then choose the one that suits you best unlike a contract phone where you are bound with a service provider for a period. These phone-only handsets liberate you from any such hassles or commitments when you so require! However, there are no insurance covers that the Sim free phones get along with a service provider, for they are under no contract! This does prove to be a disadvantage at-time! Besides, at the speed with which technology is evolving, people prefer changing tier handsets frequently. Contract phones schemes facilitate such requirements of customers by revising contracts yearly and offering new deals at new handsets while a Sim free phone user has no alternative but to dump the existing phone set and indulge in purchasing a new one all together! Sim free phones other wise are a good option! buy [http://www.mobilerainbow.co.uk] Nokia Sim Free Mobile Phones from mobile phone shop ik uk which offers nokia sim free mobile phone on cheap rate.

Diet Fads: Supermarket Sheep

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

By Virginia Bola, PsyD Eighteen or twenty years ago, I was into high protein, high fat, low carbohydrate diets, courtesy of the original Atkins Diet Revolution and, to an even greater extent, Stillman’s Quick Weight Loss Diet (which I must admit I still prefer to Atkins but that’s merely personal taste). At the time, every aisle was loaded with labels proclaiming Low Fat or Reduced Fat. I didn’t care about fat and sought much different information. Unfortunately, low fat was “in” and I felt alone and abandoned. With a certain sense of resentment, I tracked down the carbohydrate costs of a wide variety of food, keeping a sharp eye on ingredients, calorie levels, and nutritional values. Certain items were strangely emblazoned with banners announcing low fat: pasta sauce, potato chips, candy bars, and ice cream. I was puzzled: how could certain foods, full of fat to their very core, be low fat? How could all the fat be removed and there be anything left? I became fascinated with certain labels. Have you ever, for example, read the labels on those flavored coffee creamers? Zero fat. Zero carbohydrates. Zero protein. Zero calories. How can anything we put in our mouths have zero calories? A negligible amount, maybe, but absolute zero? What is in that stuff? Or is it virtual food, existing only in our mind’s eye as a kind of edible hologram? Mercifully, the low fat craze died its natural death. Atkins and similar regimens took over and the low fat labels were reprinted (corporate recycling at its finest) to read Low Carb. Suddenly, everywhere you looked, there were foods recast as low carb - again with the pasta sauce, the potato chips, the candy bars, and the ice cream. I was curious. Had the manufacturers taken out all those carbs and put the fat back in? Where did those carbs go? Are there vast dumpsites in the desert where unwanted carbs are buried - next to worn tires, plastic bags, and nuclear waste? Once more, I wonder: what is left in those boxes, cans, and jars? Why am I paying $1.19 per ounce for something that really isn’t anything? Then I started to figure it out (sometimes I’m a little slow). The food hadn’t really changed at all, just the packaging. Food labels are like those ubiquitous Internet sales letters. They trumpet headlines that catch our interest because they are in synch with our desires and goals. Is that accidental? Of course not. Highly paid copywriters choose their headlines with great care, buying into the national “obsession o’ the day”, floating on the coattails of the latest fad. Many of us are so desperate to control our weight that we buy into the promises like the unaware followers we are: bleating sheep heading for a precipice with no thought of questioning our leaders or striking out in a different direction. The unspoken secret is that the label doesn’t matter. If we want to lose weight, we don’t eat pasta sauce, potato chips, candy bars, or ice cream. Period. No matter what the package says. Deep in our psyche, we know what we can eat (very little) and what we can’t (a whole bunch). Allowing ourselves to be misled is only a fashionably acceptable way to fool ourselves, and we know it. We buy into the hype because we want, so badly, to believe. We want to think that we are doing the right thing, that we’re really trying, that our motivation is pure. Our weaknesses are being exploited by the packagers and the super store con men. Our ambivalence, and the overwhelming need to avoid the very real discomfort of effective dieting, invests the misguidance of food labels with an illusion of truth. Like our dimwitted ovine cousins, we, too, are eventually fleeced. Virginia Bola is a licensed psychologist and an admitted diet fanatic.

Do You Understand Your Lover?

Monday, July 16th, 2007

By CD Mohatta This sounds a different kind of title - Do You Understand your Lover? Doesnt everybody do? Sadly not many of us understand our partners fully. If we had understood our lovers, the rates of separations and divorces would have gone down substantially instead of increasing. You may ask- if I don’t understand my lover than how are we so good partners? Why he/she enjoys me? Why are we together? Let me talk about these. What does it mean by understanding? It is again a difficult question. Knowing about likes and dislikes does not mean understanding. To understand means to know the values, the life goals and the priorities of a person. To understand means to know what incidences made what impacts on that person. To understand means - you will be able to predict the reaction of your partner at a crucial moment. Can you do that with surety? In the beginning of our relationship, we all talk about good things of life. Our focus is more to please our partner. Our focus is to get more pleasure in their company. we never think about the underlying psychological motivators at that time. After the relationship develop little further, we find that many times we get baffled by what our partner says and vice-versa. That side of his/her character we never knew. If this is something, we can accept easily, we will forget about it, or fissures will develop at this juncture. Not many partners are totally honest with each other about their deepest thoughts, desires and fears. If I fear that you may one day leave me, because I doubt your long term loyalty, will I ever tell you about that fear? Such hidden thoughts create a wall between the partners that can be never crossed. Only few manage to break it. Once you do that and tell everything about yourself and your thoughts and get to know everything about your partner, the relationship will grow stronger. These kinds of relationships were common in the earlier days but are rare now. CDMohatta writes articles on Relationships, love, Divorce, Dating and other related issues of life.

Mobile Phone Users Setting Up Online Communities

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Damaria_Senne]Damaria Senne Mobile phone users in emerging markets are setting up online communities that are similar to those built on the Internet. Users can play virtual games, communicate, blog and even conduct business transactions in these communities, says Finnish 3G strategist Tomi Ahonen. Ahonen says while an estimated 10% of Americans are traditional bloggers, more than 30% of Koreans are already mobile bloggers. Mobile content is growing from being used as a way to personalize the phone, to a stage where users share communicate and share information to improve their lives, says Davin Mole, CEO of Exactmobile, a South African mobile content company. Mole says his company, which previously saw itself as a mobile content provider, is growing its services to provide digital communities where people can mobile-blog, advertise their services or even meet potential partners. SA ready for mobile digital communities While most South African telecoms providers agree that the market is ready for more online participation, PC penetration levels are extremely low. This provides an opportunitity for mobile handsets, which have a high penetration level to provide the kind of connectivity that PC’s would have. The readiness of SA consumers to form digital communities through mobile phones readiness is best demonstrated by the huge popularity of Mixit, a phone software application that allows Mixit users to communicate with other users on their mobile phones or PCs. Less than two years after Mxit launched, it had close to three million subscribers, with numbers growing even faster. Most of the users are between 16-34 and from fairly affluent homes. More than 70% of South Africans own mobile handsets , and the providers see the potential to penetrate the market even further. MTN, which also has operations in other African countries and the Middle East, says it expects up to 150% penetration levels. The strong adoption is largely made possible by the fact that companies are willing to provide free/ultra-low cost handsets in return for consumers committing to long-term airtime usage contracts. However, the high costs of the actual phone calls has made the use of texting and sending rich multimedia messages very popular alternatives for consumers. As a result, South Africa mobile phone users have become very innovative with their handsets, and welcome new ways that allows them to stay connected without spending more money. Anohen says mobile phones can match what the Internet can do, and surpass it. The advantage that the mobile phone has over the Internet is that it is personal, always on and has a built-in payment mechanism, he says. It is also carried always, with 60% of mobile users taking their handsets to bed, he says. The continuous, personal connectivity allows business to provide targeted messages that the user can instantly respond to, he says.
