If you want to know how to impress a guy, then you’ve come to the right place. I’ll tell you all about what makes guys tick, how to get them to laugh, and the way to their hearts. Let’s face it.

Women are special no matter what anyone says. Don’t let that jerk of an ex or a nosy little brother of yours convince you otherwise, alright? Good.

In fact, one of the fastest ways to increase public speaking fear and make your PowerPoint presentations sound canned and… well boring, is to try to deliver a PowerPoint slideshow that someone else designed for you. This doesn’t mean that you can’t deliver PowerPoint slide decks that someone else created. It just means that when you do, you’ll probably be more nervous and have less of a natural flow than what you’d normally have when you stand up and deliver a speech.

Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) – or concussion – is a complex clinical phenomenon. The classic designations of mild, moderate, or severe TBI are based on the acute clinical presentation and do not necessarily predict the long-term outcome.

TBI leads to neurophysiological changes, changes in cell polarity, and prema

Sex toys combine two things we humans love most: sexual pleasure and fun! Today, the pleasure product industry grosses a whopping $15 billion annually, but a mere decade ago sex toys lived on the fringes, just starting to break through into the mainstream. Thanks to stores like Good Vibrations in the US or A Summers in the UK, with their clean, brightly lit locations and helpful, non-judgmental staff, consumers began thinking of sex toys as something normal and acceptable.

Whenever someone asks me what I do for a living, I'm always a little bit hesitant to tell them that I run an online sex toy store.

The funny thing is though, they're usually my most frequent and best customers! And that is because Sex Toys are a great way to spice up your love life and re-i
Over the past few years, I have examined the effectiveness of Alcoholics Anonymous and a lively discussion has followed these posts.

An open mind is good thing - most of the time. New ideas, new experience, increased knowledge, personal and professional growth, better relationships and an overall positive approach to life are just a few of the benefits of having an open mind. However, there are some pitfalls. Like an open window or an open door in which bugs can enter the home, an open mind is susceptible to litter, junk, lies and deceptions, false information and misdirection. The open mind, like an open window, needs a screen to keep the bugs out.
Last night I had the great fortune to attend a benefit gala for the Women's Earth Alliance - an incredible organization that (in their word) "unites women on the front lines of environmental causes coordinating resources, training & networks to support thriving women, communities and earth."

Greetings friends, For the past few months, I have been studying and focused on a way to effectively clear all past analogical experiences from people so that they don't get triggered and keep repeating the same emotional reactions over and over. This has led me to studying neuroscience and specifically the amygdala. The amygdala is the part of the brain that captures, stores, and records the full emotional experience of every past painful event that a person has had. So the amygdala is the brain structure that is responsible for controlling fear, anxiety, and panic.
The Bully in the Manager's Office Bullies don't just exist on the playground. They also sit in the manager's chair or the CEO's office. Bully leadership is sharp, authoritative, angry, and feels uncomfortable to those in contact with it. Bully leaders believe that they are rallying the troops, getting everyone on board. But that is not what happens. The bully leader barks out orders, threatens consequences and uses strong, harsh statements to motivate people to do what the leader wants.
What is an "Old Soul" Just what is an "old soul"? This is a phrase that precedes "new age" ideology and reaches back into our old English lexicon.

It is a tacit acknowledgement that certain people, just walking around with the rest of us, might have a "pre-inca ative" past, as it were, that makes them seem to have a wisdom or understanding that the rest of us don't have.

Question: “I’m very sensitive. I can easily feel other people emotions. But, often, it feels as though I’m just bombarded and sometimes I don’t know where my emotions stop and another’s begin.
