I happen to love the beauty business. I find most women who work in beauty to be so warm, so upbeat, so generous of spirit. I think the reason they're so happy is that they get to be around makeup all day. Makeup is our candy. All the colors, textures, brushes, pencils, pots, creams, and liquids are enough to unleash the finger-paint-loving five-year-old in all of us. This is especially true of eye makeup. The sumptuous banquet of shadow, liner, and even mascara colors is so tempting, it's tough to stay with a demure taupe when the new Easter egg shades arrive in spring or the sparkly metallics show up at holiday time. There, I said it! If you have bumpy eyelids, crow's-feet, or a hooded overhang, lose the thick eyeliner, the heavily pigmented colors, and the multitiered shadow effects.

This naturally healthy food is too often contaminated with unacceptable levels of neurotoxic mercury that is emitted from industrial facilities like coal plants, polluting the waterways in which fish live. It is especially dangerous to in-utero babies and children. Mercury accumulates as it goes up the food chain, which is why eating small fish like sardines and anchovies is much safer than eating larger fish like tuna. Then there's the issue of quality: Wild fish are typically higher in omega-3 fatty acids and are cleaner and safer, while most farmed fish are grown in overcrowded conditions where they're susceptible to parasites and infections, given antibiotics and hormones, and fed tainted, grain-based foods, and have a higher ratio of inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids to boot. But conversely, and confusingly, wild fishing is decimating fish supplies worldwide, while some new aquaculture (fish farm) operations are raising fish the right way. How to navigate this maze?

Nine out of ten times, it's normally worrying about something that hasn't even happened yet - work the next day, paying our bills, etc This is normally the foundation of anxiety. Fear is an immediate threat, whereas anxiety is thinking about a potential threat. There are cases where there is a genuine hormonal disruption and several of these people find western medicine great for their anxiety. However, for a lot of us, it's something we can control ourselves. I love the quote: `Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do but you never get anywhere'. As someone who would be fine for several days at a time and then get hit with a wave of anxiety like a brick to the head, there are a few things that have massively supported me. So, I'll share them below in the hopes that they support you. Anxiety hacks and how to deal with it While an in-depth review of these products or platforms is beyond the scope of this beginners guide, if you would like to find out more, then simply Google any of the above products for more information and to find the one most suited to your needs and your current technology platform. Keep it Real: Plan, Execute, Feedback, Review Another way of ensuring your training schedule doesn't get stale is by constantly reviewing, evaluating and monitoring each session and each week to tune in to the progress you are making and measuring how your body is responding to the new regime you have imposed upon it. Essentially this means keeping your schedule live, and keeping it real, so that each session becomes an integral part of a greater overall achievement rather than an isolated, disconnected and seemingly meaningless activity. To paraphrase the old parable, you are not laying single bricks; Ken Blanchard made the observation that Feedback is the breakfast of champions, and in this case feedback is what will allow measurement and comparison to take place and hence plot your overall progress. We have previously mentioned keeping a running journal, where you record your thoughts and feelings following each training session, and this, if you like, is the qualitative part of the feedback equation. This will track your levels of motivation over time as well as your beliefs about the effort you are expending versus the rewards you perceive you are getting in return. We also talked about recording the various stats from your sessions, either on paper or in a spreadsheet. This is the quantitative element of the feedback, or the hard facts.

Respectful, collaborative approaches like CRAFT have a 64 percent or greater success rate for getting reluctant people into treatment, while confrontational interventions succeed about 30 percent of the time. Some evidence indicates that even when successful--defined as getting the person into rehab--the aftereffects of some confrontational interventions linger on in a damaging way; Anecdotally, this is our experience as well, as we are often left with angry, resentful, and betrayed clients who no longer want to allow their families or friends to be involved. Choosing to be nonconfrontational does not mean doing nothing. Nor does it mean you approve of the problematic behavior or tiptoe around it. By understanding and working with your loved one's motivations, you can be a collaborative helper, and there are specific strategies that we will teach you to instigate change in yourself, your loved one, and often the whole family system. Staying involved has the power to help your loved one change course. Remember what the evidence says: your skillful involvement has a positive impact on your loved one's motivation and is usually more influential than any other factor.
