Are Steroids a Problem in Body Building?

Body building is a sport that really reached the national (and to some extent, global) consciousness when Arnold Schwarzenegger was dominating the scene back in the late 1970's. The documentary âPumping Iron,â which followed Schwarzenegger and memorably told his story as he attempted to win yet another Mr. Olympia title, really helped the general public to see what body building was all about.

Once you have accomplished the first step towards goal attainment which is establishing good, solid and SMART goals, you will have to develop your plan to reach them.

How Do You Handle Your Anger?

Everyone gets angry, maybe even on a daily basis. Life is full of situations that one can find unpleasant or irritating. The question is how do you display this anger? Do you repress it, communicate to others what you are angry about and try to resolve the situation with meaningful conversation, or just move on and forget about it quickly? Those with anger control issues tend react with either violence, domestic abuse, tantrums, or abusive rants.

Owning Your Power

Owning Your Power by Martin Brofman, Ph.D. Owning your power, your power to be real, to be who you really are, is really about owning your freedom. Consider how your reasons for not being yourself may have been to get the love or approval of others. Then, you have given others the power to decide your way of being, and thus keeping yourself from being free. In many ways, you have been giving away your power/freedom by your ways of speaking and thinking, and being.

When you are dealing with a woman who is a constant chatterbox, the first thing you have to consider it: what is her age? After all, a two year old who talks a mile a minute is a far cry from a twenty-two year old who does the same; and much different from a ninety-two year old. In the case of a child, a simple step is to just give her lessons in good manners. On the other hand, if her endless chattering continues, consider taking her to her pediatrician for a full work up.

Why Holiday Traditions Might Be More Important Then You Think

Holiday traditions are essential, and there is a reason why we have kept them a part of our lives for so many centuries.
