Something?s Gotta Give
By murray | June 1, 2010
Mom is in the kitchen loading the dishwasher and talking to a colleague from work on the cell phone while intermittently checking her Blackberry-she's also trying to make a decision about what color to paint the den and half-listening to Dad as he grouses about the day's events.
Upstairs the kids are simultaneously watching TV, instant-messaging friends, downloading music and doing their homework-a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington suggests that kids have increased their media multi-tasking from 16 per cent in 1999 to 26 per cent.
If you feel as if you're operating in a perpetual state of overdrive-it's probably because you are. The pre-frontal cortex or executive part of the brain shoulders much of the burden imposed by multi-tasking even as the rest of you pumps out a flood of stress hormones in response-researchers think that the resulting strain of doing many things at once is taking its toll on our minds, our bodies and our social interactions.

Success In Public Speaking
By murray | June 1, 2010
1. Public Speaking Improves Your Personal Development
In Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, realizing man's self-worth ranks the highest. Giving speeches helps the speaker realize self-worth through the personal satisfaction he experiences whenever a good speech is given. The speaker becomes more confident especially when the audience responds positively. It also reduces anxiety when asked by an authority to speak in front of some people.
There was once a student who dropped a course five times because he hated speaking in front of the class. But after a self-study on building up confidence, he decided to give public speaking a try and was successful. In fact, he came to enjoy the experience and even volunteered to give more speeches.
Through public speaking tools like research, conceptualization, and organization, you have a systematic and effective way of presenting your ideas; and thus, you will be able to express yourself better. You will also become more open to other p…

Thinking and the Brain- Natural Healing
By murray | June 1, 2010
Attitudes
There are quite a few methods that are concerned with helping people to form the correct mind-set and understanding of life that will help them overcome their difficulties. This may sound like traditional psychotherapy, but their worldview is often quite different because they accept the idea that our thinking actually influences our environment.
Some of these are: NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the Sedona method, Heart Math, the Law of Attraction, Creative Visualization, Affirmations, Hoponopono and methods based on the resolution of polarities, such as the PEAT Method and John Demartini's Breakthrough Experience.
Centering techniques
Relaxation – there are quite a few techniques to help people relax, and the benefits of relaxation are tremendous.
Hypnosis – uses the relaxed condition to give people positive suggestions.
Meditation – aims to quiet the mind by stopping its ceaseless inner chattering for a while – easier said than done!
Yoga, Chi-Gong, Tai…

Brain Drain
By murray | June 1, 2010
What's the name of that beautiful spring flower with the gorgeous fragrance? You know the one-it grows on a bushy plant, it's usually purple or mauve or??
If you answered lilac without missing a beat then chances are you're under forty.
The rest of us are all too familiar with the mild memory glitches that inevitably go along with a brain that's begun to show its age-that's why you occasionally forget your neighbor's name or notice you're experiencing a little extra trouble when it comes to absorbing and retaining new information.
Serious cognitive decline on the other hand-almost four-and-a-half-million Americans, for example, suffer from Alzheimer's-while associated with longevity is not necessarily an inevitable aspect of growing older.
Research suggests that the aging brain may be subject to damage from toxins, dodgy circulation and inflammation but a compelling body of growing scientific evidence suggests that you can exert positive influence over the state of your gra…

You Are What You Eat
By murray | June 1, 2010
Free radicals are like cavities to your teeth; they slowly build up if they're not cleaned out. As the brain cells grow older, they sometimes stop communicating with each other. As an effect, it slows down essential processes like thinking, short-term memory retrieval, and regenerating new cells. Therefore, anti-oxidants are essential to maintain not only good health, but a good memory as well. Good sources of anti-oxidants are:
- Vitamin A and beta-carotene: Carrots, spinach, cantaloupe, winter squash
- Vitamin C: Citrus fruits, broccoli, strawberries, tomatoes
- Vitamin E: Nuts, seeds, vegetable oil, wheat germ
Studies show that fatty food that causes artheosclerosis (clogging of arteries) are also the same type of food that disrupts neural activities. Cut back on the fat and replace it with foods rich in anti-oxidants. Nothing will replace a well-balanced meal, but to make sure that your body doesn't lack any of its nutritional needs, it would be a good idea to take food supplemen

Papa, Can You Hear Me?
By murray | June 1, 2010
We are listening for far too long and at an unacceptable volume-that is the conclusion of many audiologists when it comes to our frequent reliance on iPods, MP3 players and portable DVD players to wile away the hours.
A recent telephone survey commissioned by the American Speech Language Hearing Association (www.asha.org) found that both teenagers and their parents had experienced some symptoms of hearing loss. Symptoms included having to turn up the volume on the TV or radio, asking 'what?' during a conversation and experiencing tinnitus or ringing in the ears.
One of the more telling results to come out of the study was the fact that a little more than half of the students had experienced one or more of these symptoms, compared to 47 per cent of adults.
Though the causes of hearing loss were not firmly established, habitual exposure to devices like iPods was isolated as a potential factor, particularly among teenagers, who were found to be more than twice as likely to liste…

Body Language in Flirting
By murray | June 1, 2010
To master the art of successful flirting, you have to feel good about yourself first. Be confident. Be yourself, or else you will look deceitful or desperate. Flirting can be utilized in just about anything, not just in attracting the opposite sex, but also in attaining just about anything you want in your life. This can be described as good flirting. Good flirting should be done with a precise understanding of what you really want, coupled with positive sensations.
I have interviewed a number of successful men and women in the field of network marketing and advertising in their 30s and 40s. Here are their tips on how you can put good flirting to your advantage:
- Don't worry about whether you are making a good impression or not. Instead, analyze how you can make the other person feel good. By doing this, you will get the feedback you are expecting. Soon you will make the connection.

The Stress and Metabolism Link
By murray | June 1, 2010
Stress, especially prolonged exposure to stress, can seriously affect your metabolism, as well as your overall health and well-being.
There is a hormone in our body called cortisol, which aids in certain body functions. It aids regulation of blood pressure, release of insulin for blood sugar stability, increase of immunity, and proper metabolism of glucose. Small increases of cortisol can be beneficial, resulting in a quick, healthy jolt of energy and immunity, heightened memory, and a higher pain threshold. However, when too much cortisol is released or if it is released too often, it results in the following:
- Blood sugar imbalances
- Higher blood pressure
- Decreased immunity
- Lower cognitive performance
- Decrease in bone density
- Decrease in muscle tissue
Cortisol particularly stimulates amino acid release from your muscles to be converted to glucose that will serve as an energy source for your body to cope with stress. Yes, your hard-earned muscles are at the mercy of cor

Desk Friendly Workouts
By murray | June 1, 2010
- Clear the clutter from your desk. There is nothing stress-inducing than seeing a desk full of papers, pens and all sorts of stuff. One look at it and you get the feeling of being thoroughly busy most of the time. It is as if you have a mountain of things to do. Sort out the trash form the important things. Arrange paperwork by order of urgency. Prioritize. Keep pens and other writing materials in one place. That way you will not have to search high and low for them every time you need to jot something down.
- Open those drawers. I'm sure you have a bar of Hershey's or a packet of M&M's hidden somewhere, especially when you need that boost of energy to make up for a missed lunch. Hmmm not a very good idea. I am already counting the calories inside your desk drawer. Give it away. Give away those extra pounds. Give away those extra inches. Anything extra should be shared I say.
- Every office has its own water dispenser. Now I already mentioned the importance of water in your fitness plan

What you don't know could hurt you
By murray | February 28, 2010
I don't blame you for being confused about what you should eat. The media surely doesn't help. One day the talking heads want you to give up all fats. The next day carbs are the culprit, and then acai berries become the holy grail of weight loss.
The food manufacturers increase confusion by printing misleading labels and bogus health claims.
Sometimes it seems like the whole system is set up to confuse and frustrate us into buying the latest and greatest packaged food.
The bottom line is that your physique is largely a result of what you eat, so the foods that you put into your body should be carefully selected.
It's time to re-examine what you eat.
It all starts with reading nutritional labels. The nutritional content and ingredient list will give you everything you need to know about the quality of the food item.
I've outlined 5 ingredients that should raise a red flag when you turn over that package and find them listed:
Red Flagged Ingredient #1: High Fructose Corn Syrup (HF
