***Stay Emotionally Intimate with Daily Rituals

A fabulous relationship has many of the same attributes as a great friendship. When it’s working, you can feel the “ka-chunk” as it settles neatly into its place in the universe. There’s someone to zip your dress, give an opinion about what tie goes with that jacket, get aspirin for your headache, or laugh at your jokes. Good stuff. But what sustains a committed relationship and makes it GREAT is emotional intimacy. That’s what makes living together easy and comfortable—and why every couple should have intimacy rituals that can be practiced daily.

***Is SHE Crazy, Is It HIM, or Is It MENOPAUSE?

This post was inspired by a client of mine who is definitely having mood swings and feels that her husband does not understand. His comments suggest that she is either mentally ill, depressed or just basically unstable. His recommendations are that she should take some anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication and just get these mood swings under control. He just wants to house to be peaceful and quiet again. He wants that loving wife back, the one who puts up with his quirks, cooks the meals and is always trying to please.

A Chinese proverb says that we naturally see the beauty of youth, but must learn to see the beauty of age. I read an article recently by Susan Jacoby titled The Myth of Aging Gracefully. It is a thought provoking piece about the over exuberance with which our culture (boomers mainly) embraces anti-aging—or the triumph of hope over experience.

***Using Your Values to Make Decisions: The Compass

Written By: Donna Thompson, PhD. “It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” Roy Disney Life presents us with an endless stream of decisions that need to be made. Some decisions need to be made quickly; some need to be made publicly. We make some decisions without thinking, while other decisions require careful introspection and evaluation. Many decisions are required to be made throughout the day, many trivial, but a few decisions carry a greater impact. In making decisions, do we generally: * Agree to things only to please others?r

***The Retirement Curse!

As boomers, many of us are retired or thinking of retiring. One of the things that may happen when one retires is that every day becomes a weekend. I have a retired friend that proclaims that every day is Saturday except for “fat paper day” which is Sunday. So he has six Saturdays each week. This sounds like it would be awesome; however, one of the real risks of retirement is alcoholism. With so much extra time to socialize those of us who have an occasional drink on the weekend now have a life full of Saturdays!

***A Healthy Circulatory System with a High Functioning Lymphatic System

he circulatory system is an amazing network containing over 60,000 miles of blood vessels. In the center of this system is the heart, which is weighs about 11 ounces and is the size of a fist. The heart is like a double pump organ. The right side sends blood to the lungs. There carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added. The blood is then pumped through the heart again to be distributed throughout the body. This action takes place every 20 seconds. If the heart stops pumping, the result is death. The blood carries essential nutrients and oxygen to every part of the body.

***Feel Like Un-Retiring? How to Prepare

According to a press release by the Financial Planning Association, almost 93 percent of the net increase in the U.S. civilian labor force between 2006 and 2016 will be 55 or older. Many American workers say they plan to stay on the job “at least” until age 69. Just over half of all working adults aged 50-65 plan to delay their retirement. The issue is all about how much they lost during the investment meltdown and the worst economic downtu in more than 70 years. These days we face one of the most interesting labor situations for older Americans ever.

***For God’s Sake, Get a Hearing Aid!

For me, old age began the day when, for the third time in five minutes, I uttered the words, “Whadya say?” and the other person screamed back, “For God’s sake, get a hearing aid!” I admit it. For years I’d been in denial about my gradual hearing loss. I associated it with diminished virility. Blamed it on wax buildup, people who didn’t speak distinctly or high female voices that were audible only to household pets.

We are learning more and more that playing cards, board games and crossword puzzles can delay the memory loss associated with Dementia.

***ANGRY? OR SAD? OR BOTH?

written by Pauline Derby, EFT-CC IMAGE HEALING HYPNOSIS It’s alright to FEEL anger. It’s perfectly NORMAL to feel hurt and upset or rejected, even betrayed. What’s NOT ALRIGHT is to allow your anger or sadness to devour you or leave you feeling dejected or devoid of power, energy, and spirit. Some of us FEAR anger and DENY sadness. We smother our emotions, scared to feel too much. (If we felt them with all their magnitude, could they take us over?) In actuality, emotions can only hold the power that we assign to them! On their own, they are only words.

For the first time in history, we have four – some people argue five – generations in the workforce: the Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y. The normal stresses in the workplace are being exacerbated by the fact that the leading edge of the 79 millio Boomers born between 1946 and 1964 are not moving out of the workforce as expected. The likely result will be increasing conflict among the generations over jobs, pay, benefits and advancement opportunities.

***Dating by the Name

So, what can we gather about a person that is important prior to our date? First is compatibility. Emotions are held in the vowels while consonants represent our attitudes. Thus, the first question is, do you have similar vowels? The more vowels you have in common, the easier it is to “get” the other person. The first vowel in the first name[1] is the most important as it determines our overall communication style. The ideal is to find someone with your same vowel. However, that would be quite limiting. The next best is to find a person with a compatible vowel.
