Women Personality and Mental Health

Recognizing Emerging Borderline Personality Disorder.

By definition, a person suffering from borderline personality disorder, fears being abandoned and will do just about anything to prevent this. For example, self-manipulation, by slashing arms or legs, repeated overdosing, delinquency, sexual promiscuity, addictions and other self-destructive acts.
They will experience feelings known as “splitting”. They will see a person as being only “good” one day and only “bad” the next, as they are unable to distinguish that there is both bad and good in everyone. Read more!

Parenting a disabled child is certainly no easy task and when peer rejection and teasing are added to the equation it can be most overwhelming. It’s hard enough to see your child struggle with the day-to-day challenges of their disability. Then to see him suffer with emotional pain caused by the cruelty of another child or group of children–it’s just too much to bear! Is there anything that you as a parent can do to protect your disabled child from emotional damage?

Of course there’s not much that can be done about rejection but there are a few things you can do that may curtail the teasing or at least lessen the hurt caused by others…

Everybody seems to think of teaching as teaching “something.” Usually, there’s a subject. There is a syllabus. Usually there is also some kind of timeframe. The teacher is supposed to impart a certain body of knowledge in a certain period of time to a certain group of people.

“Teach” is derived from Old English and means “to impart knowledge or skill.” It’s intricately bound up with the word “learn,” for after all, has anyone actually taught anything if no one has learned anything?

Everyone knows that people learn something in exactly the time it takes them to learn it, no matter how hard somebody is trying to pour it into their heads. Read more!

Most everyone belongs to some kind of a club or group. Perhaps it is a civic group, or a service club, or a church group, or even a family group. How often have you attended a “meeting” of your group, and not spent any time getting to know the people in the group? Too often groups are only concerned with agendas, reports, useless chitchat and weather reports, or getting business done. Life is too short to miss the opportunities to get to know people better and foster meaningful relationships.

People love to talk about themselves, their interests, their families and their life experiences. And, if you listen carefully, you can learn a lot about them as they share these things. The problem is that unless they are asked, they probably won’t tell. Read more!

Don’t we all want to be successful? In life? As a person? In your career, job, business?

The fundamental law of human achievement is the law of belief. It suggests that you always behave in a manner consistent with your beliefs. If you believe you are a Roman Catholic, then you are. If you believe you are a Buddhist, you are. If you believe you can ride a bicycle, then you can ride a bicycle. Even if you can’t ride a bicycle as long as you believe you can, but if not then you will persist in failing until you can actually ride. Unfortunately, once you decide you can’t ride a bicycle, then you can’t. Even though we are all capable of riding a bicycle, once you believe you can’t, you can’t.

One question every parent has had to answer and contemplate is “how do I discipline my child?” It is very likely a parent has experienced one or more of the following dilemmas:

- Ineffective strategy: Your technique is not yielding the results you want. You are either getting no results or the opposite results.
- Confused: You’ve read and heard many disciplining tips. Some of the ideas may even contradict each other. Who is right? Who is wrong? Is it really going to work?
- Doubt: You are doing all you can but you’re not sure if what you’re doing is the right thing?
- Dead end: You’ve tried everything you know but nothing works. Now you just feel helpless and lost.

Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT as it is most commonly known, is probably the most popular of a group of techniques collectively referred to as Energy Psychology (EP)
Energy Psychology achieves a psycho-therapeutic end, but it does so by working at an energetic level within the body, rather than the mental functions of the mind.

Some EP methods utilize Chakras in their emotional release work, while others, such as EFT, utilize the body’s acupuncture system. EFT does this by gently tapping on acupuncture points to stimulate and “open” them, allowing an increase in the free flow of energy throughout our body. You are about to learn why this is so important in terms of our feelings. Read more!

Most successful people have failed miserably. That’s right. At one time or another they have flopped, fell short, missed the mark, struck out and goofed up royally. However, the difference between these people and the rest of the world is that when they failed, they made a choice to use the experience to better themselves…to become stronger.

Are you determined to reach your goal? Do you really believe you can achieve what you set out to accomplish? With determination and belief, you too can make the same choice to turn a failed situation into a winning one. How? By choosing to adapt a positive perspective and engage in edifying self-talk. Here are four opportunities to stay motivated in the midst of failure:

What is it good for? Stress-related conditions and pain relief, especially during labour and dental work. Also for overcoming addictions, phobias, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, eating disorders and sexual confidence problems.

What happens when I go? The therapist will create a relaxing atmosphere. You then go into a trance, your heartbeat and breathing slow down, and you feel very relaxed. The therapist then makes statements to address your problem.

How does it work? The conscious, rational part of the brain is bypassed, making the subconscious part receptive to suggestions.

You might want to bring a CD player to your next exercise session if you want to get stronger and smarter. A recent study conducted by Ohio State University suggests that working out to music builds brainpower as well as strength and stamina.
During the study, 33 patients in the last few weeks of a cardiac rehabilitation program listened to Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” as they walked on a treadmill. When they were tested on verbal fluency, their score was twice as high as others who walked without musical accompaniment. Read more!

STEP EIGHT: Recognize Negative Thinking Pattern
There are a million varieties to the pain we all inflict on ourselves through destructive thinking patterns, but they all come down to the same issue: not existing in the here and now. If you can truly focus on the present moment, your choices become incredibly easy. If exercise is the issue, the question becomes: Will I be better off if I walk today? The answer is yes. The only way this gets complicated is when your mind starts bringing the past and future into it. Then dangerous mind games start: “What’s the point in walking today? I’ll only lose a quarter of a pound or so.” “If I walk twice tomorrow, I can skip today.” “My parents were fat and I was meant to be, too. It doesn’t matter what I try.” Read more!

STEP FIVE: A Life-Affirming Belief System
By searching inside yourself until you touch that sacred spark that knows you are connected to everything else in this universe, you gain access to the greatest motivator you will ever find: the knowledge that you belong in this world, and that the love that suffuses the world is pushing you to be active, healthy and happy. If you believe there is something sacred about the stars, about the sky, about Niagara Falls, then you must accept that there is something sacred about you, too. Don’t try to reason this out. That’s not your job. Just feel it and live it. Be it. That’s your job. Read more!

STEP ONE: Make It Double
Whatever your goal, if you make it something way beyond your capabilities, you aren’t doing yourself any favors. You won’t achieve it, you’ll get discouraged, and you’ll give up. Make your immediate goal something you know you can do. Don’t push yourself to the brink of exhaustion. Just do a good job, and then do a slightly better job when you’re ready. Eventually, you will achieve goals that at first seemed beyond you. Read more!

Worrying about your job, family, money, and relationship can cause any women to lose sleep. It’s even worse for cancer patients who are often in pain or must wake up in the middle of the nigh to take medications. Yoga may help you sleep.

Researchers from the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center found that cancer patients who practiced Tibetan yoga were able to sleep better at nigh. The technique involves controlled breathing, slow movements and holding postures, meditation, and visualization. Read more!
