    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ When picking up women, the most important part of the pick-up is conversation. However, did you know that 90% of all conversation is conducted by <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/body+language" rel="tag">body language</a>? It's true; the way we hold and present our bodies can give more messages then a regular chit-chat. People can <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconsciously" rel="tag">subconsciously</a> pick up if you are depressed, angry, happy, tired, alert, or any other emotion you can think of. So what does this mean for you? It means you are about to change the game with my top 5 body <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/language+tips" rel="tag">language tips</a>! <br /><br /> 1. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/posture" rel="tag">Posture</a>- Not many folks know this, but your spine doesn't actually end at your back, it ends at your skull. So from now on, walk with a straight posture with your head tilted up a little, and your shoulders held back. This says wonders about your confidence, and that is a huge turn-on for women. <br /><br /> 2. Open- Never cross your legs or your arms. Crossing of the limbs means you are a closed person, and that's what people will subconsciously pick up if they see you as such. <br /><br /> 3. Take up space- Always spread out. If you're lounging on a couch, take up as much room as possible. If you're at a bar, don't be afraid to kick your leg up on a chairs peg next to you. <br /><br /> 4. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/eye+contact" rel="tag">Eye Contact</a>- This is one of the most important tricks that anyone can use. Always look people in the eyes. This says that you are a confident person, and you're not afraid of interaction. <br /><br /> 5. Slow Down- Don't jerk! Always make your movements slow, calculated, and smooth, never be in a hurry. <br /><br /> When attracting women, body language can make or break you. If you use these 5 quick-tips next time your out, I guarantee you will see an almost instant in the amount of women you can successfully attract. Remember, the number one-thing to do is to just have fun. If you get too caught up in the things you read, it becomes more of a job then something you enjoy.   <bio>Don Charlie is one of the leading coaches when it comes to picking up, attracting, and seducing beautiful women. He has been learning and teaching for the greater part of this decade and has turned many lonely men into a man women worship.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subliminal+messages+in+songs" rel="tag">Subliminal messages in songs</a> are verbal messages delivered either so quickly or backwards or at such low volumes that those who receive them or hear them are not even aware that the message has been sent. <br /><br /> We each have our own folk subliminal songs, nearly alike but diverse enough to reflect the variations in our upbringing and informed perspectives. Considering the blend of conscious and subliminal elements of awareness, it is a fair assumption that these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/folk+songs" rel="tag">folk songs</a> represent in part at least a subliminal stimulus to composition. Similarly, many people believe that subliminal messages in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rock+songs" rel="tag">rock songs</a> can influence <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/listeners" rel="tag">listeners</a>. <br /><br /> Some years back, parents of two boys who committed suicide alleged that the rock group "<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/judas+priest" rel="tag">Judas Priest</a>" had subliminally inserted the words "Do it, Do it" below the lyrics in a morbid song called "Beyond the Realms of Death." <br /><br /> Charges have also been made, that concealed messages are present in Christian rock songs as well. <br /><br /> Another claim is that certain mock-'n'-mobb recordings allegedly contained "<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/satanic" rel="tag">satanic</a>" subliminal messages in songs that were recorded backward and superimposed. Some people allege that listeners <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconsciously" rel="tag">subconsciously</a> perceived these messages and then followed the evil advice. The issue for psychologists is not whether any rock band ever inserted such a message or not. There are a lot of "wild" rock bands, after all... <br /><br /> The real issue is whether a backward message recorded below the threshold of human perception has any influence. <br /><br /> If people hear such a message, can they ever understand it? Even if they don't hear it, does it subconsciously alter their behavior? <br /><br /> Researchers have recorded several messages (nothing satanic) and asked participants to listen to them backwards. So far, no "Einstein" listening to a backward message has been to decode what it would sound like forwards, and except for a nasty headache, listening to it hasn't influenced behavior in any perceivable way.   <bio>Discover more about subliminal messages in songs and how you can use subliminals to positively affect your life at <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/subliminalmessages" >http://www.squidoo.com/subliminalmessages</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Recently I stumbled across a movie witch I have not seen in a while. It has been a few years since the movie the "Matrix" hit the big screen. Anyway if you have seen the movie do you remember when Neo,( <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/keano+reeves" rel="tag">Keano Reeves</a>), had a hard time in the beginning when he was learning to jump from one building to another? When he was inside the computer, there was no limit to what he could do. But he never truly believed it. Then something happened at <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/witch+point" rel="tag">witch point</a> he realized his limitations were self inflicted, and when he realized this he was able to break out of his mental handcuffs, and do anything he wanted. At that moment I realized that than truth was <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stranger+than+fiction" rel="tag">stranger than fiction</a>. In today's world of the computer and the internet, people have almost no limit to what they can do while on their computers. <br /><br /> Through experience I have observed that people have limited beliefs. I my self was limited by my beliefs at one time by setting up boundaries in my own mind. These <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/barriers" rel="tag">barriers</a> stopped me from any possibility of surpassing the limits of those beliefs, and the same goes for most people I have observed. <br /><br /> For example, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/many+people+think" rel="tag">many people think</a> it is impossible for them to make $ 100,000- $250,000 =96 or even $1,000,000 a year working from home. Many people dream of working for themselves and fulfill their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/financial+dreams" rel="tag">financial dreams</a>, then the barriers pop up in their minds. People in general think whatever they are making or doing is all they are good for. But the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/truth+of+the+matter" rel="tag">truth of the matter</a> is, you can make whatever amount you want. It's you're decision, the only one stopping you is you. Because there are those making those incomes and more. <br /><br /> If you believe you can do it you can, but if you believe you can't you certainly won't. So instead of rationalizing about what you can't do to reach you're goal, think about what you can do to reach you're goal, think about what you can do to make it happen. Visualize you're self having financial freedom, picture it in you're mind. All the power and ability you need is there within you. Believe that you have the capacity and power to attain money making success, and you are half way there. <br /><br /> Many people would repeatedly complain that they are sick and tiered of their lives, but continue to do the same thing the same stuff day in and day out. They despite of their complaints continue to throw up those barriers that deprive them of the ability to change, and better them selves. That is the true meaning of insanity. <br /><br /> By doing this , you are training you're subconscious mind to make you believe there is no other way to live. <br /><br /> Money may not be everything, but living you're life the way you want it to be is. From my personal experience until I was able to change my thinking subconsciously I was very unhappy with my situation, whether it was financial or with my relationships. The same way you place mental limitations on you're self,( subconsciously), you can also remove them. You and I and all of us have the ability and the power within ourselves to do it. There are no limitations it is only those barriers in outer minds that induce those limitations. <br /><br /> But just as importantly, action must be taken. The positive thoughts that you give you're selves subconsciously require action to tare down the barriers you have spent all you're lives constructing in you're mind. Get motivated, go out and make the changes happen. The most powerful ally people have is self motivation. <br /><br /> Does making mistakes frighten you? Don't let it! The more mistakes you make, the closer you get to success. <br /><br /> We live in the information age ,today everything you need to reach you're goal is only a click away. Motivational e-books, how to home based businesses opportunities, with easy to follow instruction. Best of all you can get all of that with little or no money out of pocket. By redirecting the thought process all people can be like "Neo" and conquer their fears.   <bio>M.Masri is owner of the <a href="http://homebizgy.com" >http://homebizgy.com</a> and writes on a verity of subjects.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Confess that comes as a revelation to you, that snoring problems can be helped by the use of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hypnotism" rel="tag">hypnotism</a>. A single night with a snorer whose problems range from mild snoring to really heavy snoring, can prove to be such a forgettable experience that in the end you are wondering what you can do to protect yourself from such night-time disasters. Whether its you who suffer from snoring issues or it is your partner, you don't have to worry. For Hypnotism might just be the answer to all your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/worries" rel="tag">worries</a>. <br /><br /> Hypnotism essentially is letting another person gain access into your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconscious+mind" rel="tag">subconscious mind</a> which lies below your conscious-thinking layer. In this process, the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hypnotist" rel="tag">hypnotist</a> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/relax" rel="tag">relax</a>es the patient by creating a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/comfort+zone" rel="tag">comfort zone</a> in the mind so that he can reach down and touch deep into the unstated turbulences of the human mind. Snoring is one such problem that can be treated by helping the snoring individual get in touch with the inner recesses of his mind -- by changing the way he or she thinks and feels. <br /><br /> Its not always necessary though, to have a hypnotist to be physically present to hypnotize you. In this age of rapid advances in science and technology, highly specialized audio recordings in the form of tapes and CDs have been made available in the market that can help you relax and subconsciously address your snoring problems if you just play the audio and listen it to in the comfort of your home. "How to stop snoring the hypnotic way" and "Sleep better -- staring tonight!" could be possible CD titles that should pique your interest should you be looking for such audio recordings. <br /><br /> Well does it look too easy? No really for not everyone can be hypnotized. Its not surprising to see some people subconsciously resist the release of control of the mind. Being able to relax to the point where you are receptive to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hypnotic+suggestions" rel="tag">hypnotic suggestions</a> involved with quieting a snoring problem can work for you. Many people have been able to sleep better without any worries and problems purely because of the hypnotic remedies to snoring. So if you find yourself in dire need of some hearty sleep, you know where to look for to stop your snoring demons!   <bio>Discover how you can put a stop to all your snoring worries forever, and start enjoying a Quiet Sleep.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[It's easy to forget just how powerful our <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconscious" rel="tag">subconscious</a> minds can be. We are often completely unaware of how our actions (or inactions) are affecting our lives. We may complain that things never work out for us, we have bad luck, or we just don't have what it takes to be successful. What we fail to realize is that we are actually creating our own circumstances through subconscious self-sabotage. In order to overcome self-sabotage we first have to use conscious awareness to explore our emotions and fears, and understand how they influence our actions. Once we have determined the cause of the destructive behavior, we can then take steps to prevent it from happening in the future. <br /><br /> What's really happening when we sabotage ourselves? Subconsciously, we may be frightened by a particular outcome, even though we say we want it. Take, for example, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/losing+weight" rel="tag">losing weight</a>. Many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/overweight+people" rel="tag">overweight people</a> have struggled for years, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tried+diet" rel="tag">tried diet</a> after diet, and still can't lose the weight (or keep it off). They berate themselves, push themselves harder, and try to force the weight off. But what's happening beneath the surface? Do they really want to lose their excess pounds? They may say they do, but what if their layers of fat are providing a sense of protection and security in an uncertain world? What if they feel the need to cover up and conceal themselves? Losing weight then becomes a threatening, frightening possibility. So they might sabotage their diet efforts in order to avoid feeling too vulnerable and exposed. Even though they say they want to lose weight (and even believe they do) they still might set themselves up for failure by sneaking food, skipping exercise, and then making a promise that they'll try harder tomorrow. <br /><br /> Others may be intimidated by something as simple as starting a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/new+job" rel="tag">new job</a>. Did you know that there are a surprisingly high number of people who don't show up for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/job+interviews" rel="tag">job interviews</a>, even for highly-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/desirable+positions" rel="tag">desirable positions</a>? Let's look at another example: Perhaps a stay-at-home-mom decides she needs to return to the workforce to earn money for her family. What she really wants is to stay home with her children, but she feels obligated to get a job outside the home. So instead of applying for the perfect position, she applies for jobs that she knows she's not qualified for, or jobs that require hours incompatible with her family's schedule so she has to turn down the job if it's offered. Subconsciously, that's her way of ensuring she won't have to leave home, and at least she can say she "tried" to get a job. <br /><br /> Those who self-sabotage may also be afraid of what others will think of them should they accomplish their goals. They might not believe they're worthy of the outcome, so they act in ways that will ensure their failure. <br /><br /> These destructive efforts are done subconsciously, so even the saboteurs have fooled themselves into thinking they know what they want. If there is any uncertainty in their mind, any doubt, any fear, they will find a way to make sure it doesn't happen. <br /><br /> Perhaps this describes you? Have you sabotaged yourself in the past? Are you still doing it now? Are you not able to move forward with your goals, no matter how hard you try? <br /><br /> Fortunately we CAN overcome self-sabotage. The most important step to stopping self-sabotaging behavior is to recognize that it's happening. We must develop a conscious awareness of our thoughts, emotions, and actions. <br /><br /> If you've been struggling with a certain goal and things just don't seem to be working out for you, take a look at the setbacks that were encountered and evaluate the situation. Could any of the obstacles have been avoided by making wiser choices on your part? Are there a significantly high number of obstacles that have arisen for this one particular goal? If so, you may be self-sabotaging yourself. <br /><br /> A great way to get in touch with your subconscious mind is by spending time in quiet meditation. Ask yourself what you're afraid of. What fears do you have? What uncertainties? What makes you feel uncomfortable about this goal? For what reasons would you try to hold yourself back? Using a journal to write these questions and answers can help too, because writing can help you to connect with the deepest part of yourself. It might take time and practice, but exploring these possibilities can dramatically help you to get out of the self-sabotage rut. <br /><br /> When we finally understand that we are in control of our own success, we will be set free from all limitations! By developing clarity and insight about the outcomes we want to create, and the awareness for potential setbacks, we can stop the self-sabotage and focus our energies on working toward new goals that we will fully support in every way. We will then look back one day and see that instead of being our own worst saboteur, we have become our best supporter.

That means you must look for ways to find challenging work, progress in your field, or increase your visibility.<br><br>Most people that are familiar with pheromones think that their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sole+function" rel="tag">sole function</a> is to attract the opposite sex. However based on our experience pheromones also can help improve an individual's credibility factor. Studies show that attractive and/or confident people are more successful in their careers and make more money. The more credible you are the greater the chance to achieve a sale or a promotion. Sometimes very competent people lose out on opportunities because they may be subconsciously perceived as lacking the ability to give or perform the task.<br><br>Pheromones may be an excellent tool for advancing your career. During these <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/trying+times" rel="tag">trying times</a> we need to avail ourselves of every tool that may help improve success. At some point you may have to convince management that your idea is the best way to go. You may need that extra factor so that you stand out from your peers, have the best chance for advancement, or find yourself fighting to save your job.<br><br>I once worked with a woman named Stephanie (not her real name) who was very plain looking. She did not have a college education and her <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/work+performance" rel="tag">work performance</a> was average. The difference was she gave off an air of confidence that made her seem more credible in management's eyes. Stephanie worked her way up the ladder, leaving many of us who were more qualified in the dust. I asked her secret and she replied "pheromones!"<br><br>The pheromone solution to achieve this same success is to wear a high quality product that contains both male and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/female+pheromones" rel="tag">fe<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/male+pheromone" rel="tag">male pheromone</a>s</a>. This has a two-prong approach to increase acceptance by both sexes. The male pheromone will subconsciously suggest to other men that you are a winner and stand out from the crowd. The female pheromone will help boost the male wearer's psyche and help make him more confident. The theory is the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/old+adage" rel="tag">old adage</a>, "behind every successful man is a woman and vice versa, behind every successful woman is a man." Female wearers will of course have a similar reaction.<br><br>Interviewing for a new job can be frustrating because you need to find a way to set yourself above other candidates competing for the same job. Interviewers make subjective hiring decisions rather than objective ones because they see so many candidates with similar qualifications. Pheromones may subconsciously encourage the interviewer to hire you only because it is the one extra factor that makes you stand out!<br><br>Alison interviewed for a position within her company. Just before her appointment, she applied pheromones. However, once the interview process began, she realized that she was not qualified for the job, but she was awarded the position anyway. From there she received two more promotions within a year.<br><br>Rob worked for a company that was downsizing and he feared he would be one of the ones that would get laid off. He wore pheromones at work and watched people with more seniority get laid off while he kept his job.<br><br>Attending job fairs is a great way to connect with potential employers, but they attract hundreds of people who are competing for the same jobs. Eric was desperate for a job. He heard about pheromones helping in such situations. He left his name with different people and each time he turned in his registration form he put some pheromones on the form. In the end he got to choose the job he wanted.<br><br>Renee saw money wasted all around her where she worked and was determined to show the company executives how to save the company money. After it was obvious that no one was taking her seriously, she decided to apply pheromones to her reports. The execs that previously disregarded her recommendations, started to take more time reading her reports. From that point on they sought out Renee for her opinions.<br><br>I once worked for a company that was quick to fire their sales representatives if their sales performance was not to their liking. The company president called me in to find out why my sales were not progressing. At the time, they did not know that I was starting a new business and was just maintaining my sales accounts. I knew my job was in jeopardy. Before walking into his office, I applied my pheromone mix. This mix was a product that included both female and male pheromones and a special fragrance containing 18 scents. To my astonishment I did not lose my job and I walked out of the office with everyone satisfied about my performance.<br><br>For best results I always recommend that people follow the manufacturer's pheromone usage instructions. Applying more is not better and in fact will give you the poorest results! The pheromone quality should be high enough to achieve what you want without being consciously detected. A money back guarantee suggests that the product is high quality and that the manufacturer stands behind the product.<br><br>Pheromones are safe, easy to use, and can give you the confidence you need to change or enhance your career. It's the secret weapon in your pocket ready for those times when you need it the most.<bio>If you found this article informative, you may enjoy reading more about <a href="http://www.attractromance.com">pheromones</a> and <a href="http://www.attractromance.com">libido supplements</a>.</bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/writing+a+resume" rel="tag">Writing a resume</a> is a difficult process because it requires a specific set of skills that we do not all possess and because it demands that we look at ourselves and our past accomplishments from an objective standpoint. That being said, following are 5 <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/resume+writing+tips" rel="tag">resume writing tips</a> that, if you decide to implement, will help you improve your resume <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/substantially" rel="tag">substantially</a>: <br /><br /> 1) Take the time to look back at your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/career+accomplishments" rel="tag">career accomplishments</a> and put things in perspective. Try to recollect what you did, go through projects that you have done, look at memos you wrote, brainstorm, etc. <br /><br /> 2) Only apply to positions that you really want. If you don't really want a job, you will <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconsciously" rel="tag">subconsciously</a> not put in the effort to prepare a good application. Also, applying to fewer jobs means that you can spend more time tailoring each application that you send out. <br /><br /> 3) Structure your resume by being clear in terms of how you present your qualifications and by putting in evidence the skills that are most relevant to the position. Recruiters have a very <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/short+attention+span" rel="tag">short attention span</a>. In other words, they are very impatient (and therefore "picky"). The last thing they want is scratch their heads wondering what you are trying to convey or thinking why they should hire you. Whether or not you should be called for an interview should jump out at them. <br /><br /> 4) Always include a "Summary of Qualifications" at the beginning of your resume where you will make your sales pitch. <br /><br /><br /><br /> 5) After you are done with the first draft of your resume, take some distance and come back on it a few hours or a day later.  This will give you a fresh perspective on what you wrote and will allow you to notice mistakes you may not have noticed before. <br /><br /> If you implement the above suggestions, you will find your resume substantially improved. Good luck in your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/job+search" rel="tag">job search</a>!   <bio>John Stronack is a writer for <a href="http://WorkBloom.com" >http://WorkBloom.com</a>, the leading career resources site on the Web.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[With the advent of Massively Multiplayer <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/online+role+playing+games" rel="tag">Online <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/role+playing+games" rel="tag">Role Playing Games</a></a> (<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mmorpg" rel="tag">MMORPG</a>), a lot of people have suffered from MMORPG over-addiction, so much so that some of them have slowly confused the real world with the fantasy environment of the games they're playing. I kid you not! This seeming merger of truth and fiction is not restricted to costume plays (or cosplays), sci-fi conventions or game launches. It has extended to everyday life. And if you have been playing a particular MMORPG for hours upon hours, each and every day, you might be suffering from MMORPG over-addiction yourself! <br /><br /> How would you know? <br /><br /> Here are 10 signs that can be observed if ever you have too much MMORPG adrenaline in your system. <br /><br /> 1. Whenever you want to buy something, you think in terms of gold instead of dollars. Gold, of course, is the unit of currency in most MMORPG <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/game+worlds" rel="tag">game worlds</a>. <br /><br /> 2. Whenever you accomplish a significant deed, you subconsciously expect to level up, coupled with a sound in the background to inform the world of such a feat. MMORPG programs reward players with experience points which can be used to increase their levels. <br /><br /> 3. You find yourself speaking in Old English. Quite a number of MMORPG systems require the players to role play their characters as if they're living in a fantastical, medieval world. This includes conversing in Old English. So hear 'ye, hear 'ye, hear 'ye, if thou hath been speaking the tongue of ages yore, thou hath been possessed by the soul of thy machinated character. <br /><br /> 4. You start referring to you bag as your inventory. A staple of MMORPG programs is a limited inventory screen that allows your character to carry a certain number of implements. <br /><br /> 5. You start describing your irritating acquaintance as a "re-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/spawn" rel="tag">spawn</a>ing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/monster" rel="tag">monster</a>." The monsters in all MMORPG systems persistently re-spawn so that players would always have something to kill for some experience points. <br /><br /> 6. Whenever an item, like a gadget perhaps or a book, is priced beyond your budget, you start to subconsciously hope that you'll get it soon with a future "drop." In MMORPG programs, monsters drop useful items whenever they're destroyed. Sometimes, they drop some very rare and very valuable items. <br /><br /> 7. When ever you need the help of a friend in the real world, you sometimes inform him by screaming "tank!" or "aggro!" The terms tank and aggro are MMORPG-generic words that refer to a variety of support from party members. Tank refers to the act of having someone with higher HP attack a monster first. The monster would focus on such a player, and the other player with lower HP would attack it from behind and claim a majority of the experience points. Aggro refers to a slew of support spells from the magic users of the same adventuring party. <br /><br /> 8. At the end of every month, you'd be surprised to discover that you have exhausted all your vacation and sick leaves from work. In South Korea, for example, where MMORPG programs are a huge hit, employers complain of massive employee absences whenever a major game is released. Indeed, an MMORPG has the power to take over your virtual as well as your real life. <br /><br /> 9. You spend countless sleepless nights thinking of strategies that would help you build your character, or defeat a seemingly undefeatable boss. MMORPG programs often require more strategy that what you'd expect, and trying to discover the best tactics that work is part of the fun. <br /><br /> 10. Whenever you're planning your monthly budget, you give paramount importance to allotting payment for your MMORPG's subscription. There is no shame here. We're all guilty of the same thing. <br /><br /> Should you start worrying? <br /><br /> Should you begin to consider a change in lifestyle? <br /><br /> Should you consult a therapist? <br /><br /> For as long as the other aspects of your life, which are more important than your need for an MMORPG fix, are not compromised, then your preference for MMORPG programs, whether casual of a product of an addictive tendency, can still be considered as healthy. <br /><br /> But if you start jeopardizing your health, your job, your family and your overall wellbeing, then dude! You have to realize that though an MMORPG offers a world of endless fun, it's just a game, and your life is not.   <bio>So, you've finally decided to take the plunge and entered one of the many magical worlds of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, or MMORPG.....maximize your playing time with tried and tested MMORPG strategies at <a href="http://www.onlineroleplayingames.com">http://www.onlineroleplayingames.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Pheromones are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/incredibly" rel="tag">incredibly</a> powerful things, and not many people know that there are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/human+pheromones" rel="tag">human pheromones</a> involved in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sexual+attraction" rel="tag">sexual attraction</a>. That is right there are actually human pheromones to attract the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/opposite+sex" rel="tag">opposite sex</a>, meaning that there are certain pheromones that are already in your body which are able to make the opposite sex attracted to you. <br /><br /> There are actually several different human pheromones involved in sexual attraction and one of these is simply a person's body odor. This does not mean that it has to smell bad, but studies have been done where the participants wore clothes with no perfume, deodorant, or any other manufactured smell put on. <br /><br /> In the end of these studies, members of the opposite sex were told to smell the clothing that was worn by the opposite sex, and for the majority of the time, the comments were incredibly positive. Therefore, although we all tend to use some sort of perfume, cologne, body spray, and so on, it is actually our own personal pheromones that sexually attract people to us. <br /><br /> However, it is not all that often when others can actually smell our pheromones, because we are covering that smell up constantly with other materialized odors and sprays. However, there are exceptions to the rule. For instance, when women are menstruating, it is said that their body gives off stronger pheromones that attract men more than any other time of the month. <br /><br /> For men, the same type of rule applies, only it is considered that when they are sweating -- such as after a long workout -- when they have the most human pheromones that are coming off of them, and thus when women react the most attracted to them. <br /><br /> Human pheromones are truly fascinating because it is not so much an overly powerful or even <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/noticeable" rel="tag">noticeable</a> smell, but rather pheromones are basically <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconsciously" rel="tag">subconsciously</a> taken in. Although we cannot necessarily smell them enough to realize what we are smelling, we are instantly attracted to members of the opposite smell when they are emitting their actual pheromones. <br /><br /> There have been attempts over the years to create perfumes and body sprays that actually smell like human pheromones, and the popularity of these items is increasing day by day.   <bio>Tisha Diaz recommends scented and unscented pheromones for men and women at <a href="http://www.pheromonespro.com/" >http://www.pheromonespro.com/</a> where you can also get free pheromone samples and more in-depth information in the pheromone community forums.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The aim of decent listening is to gain maximum understanding. Many people home in only to the words of a speaker or to the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/body+language" rel="tag">body language</a> or the timbre of voice and fail to listen to the entire message. To grasp a message, each of these is important.  I recommend that to hear the entire message: <br /><br /> 1. Ponder the specific words the speaker is saying. Read between the lines and take note of context. <br /><br /> 2. Establish <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/eye+contact" rel="tag">eye contact</a> with the speaker. It is impossible to read body language without looking at the speaker. Eye contact conveys that you are listening. Eye contact says andquot;I respect what you are sayingandquot; <br /><br /> 3. Employ your mind to read his body language. You may intuitively understand it because much of what is sent nonverbally is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconsciously" rel="tag">subconsciously</a> understood. If you think your emotions are coloring your understanding, do an awareness check. Reserve judgement till after the discussion. <br /><br /> 4. Observe facial expressions and note how the speaker uses his hands and arms. These will betray information on his nonverbal communication. <br /><br /> 5. Pay heed to his tone of voice. Is there consistency with his words? Or do you espy lapses ? <br /><br /> 6. Interpret the entire message when he has done. Respond to what you think he is saying and then listen carefully to his response to you. <br /><br /> Here's an exercise that can skyrocket your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/communication+skills" rel="tag">communication skills</a>. The next time you visit <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/starbucks" rel="tag">starbucks</a>, select a quiet spot. Order a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mocha+frappuccino" rel="tag">mocha frappuccino</a> and partially cover your face with a newspaper. Now, observe as people walk in. Watch how they communicate... the gestures they use, the experessions that cross their face. <br /><br /> Observe how certain, words, deeds and posture contribute to rapport- or destroy it. <br /><br /> Adapt your own behavior to what you observe! Emulate those that you feel will bolster understanding and rapport.  <bio>Joseph Plazo is a renowned success coach. <a href="http://www.powerconsultants.net" >http://www.powerconsultants.net</a> <a href="http://<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/xtrememind" rel="tag">xtrememind</a>.com" >http://xtrememind.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Often our expectations are based on the assumptions we have about people or groups of people. The same is true of us. Have you ever noticed how your expectations become reality in your personal life? Expectation is literally a self-fulfilling prophecy. We do this consciously and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconsciously" rel="tag">subconsciously</a>. Remember the kid in grade school who was always really <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/rowdy" rel="tag">rowdy</a> and disruptive? Sometimes if people already assume they are perceived a certain way, then that is indeed exactly how they will act, even if they don't mean to. The rowdy kid in grade school knew everyone perceived him as disruptive, and so he was. The teacher expected bad behavior, and the expectations were fulfilled. <br /><br /> Consider the profound impact this can have in your own life. Are the assumptions and expectations you have about yourself liberating or victimizing? There are countless examples of "self-fulfilling prophecies," or the Law of Expectations at work in everyday life. Ever notice how people who think they're going to be fired suddenly experience a drop in the quality and enthusiasm for their work? Then what happens? They get fired! Their belief causes them to act a certain way, and those expectations then work to bring about the very thing that at first was only a figment of their imagination. <br /><br /> In another study, second graders listened to statements from their teachers before taking a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/math+test" rel="tag">math test</a>. There were three types of statements: expectation, persuasion, or reinforcement. The expectation statements went something like, "You know your math really well!" or "You work really hard at your math." Persuasion statements involved sentences like, "You should be good at math." or "You should be getting better <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/math+grades" rel="tag">math grades</a>." Finally, for the reinforcement statements, teachers said things like, "I'm really happy about your progress" or "This is excellent work!" Now, what do you think the results were? The scores were the highest in the "expectation" category! Why were the expectation statements the most effective? They created personal assumptions within each student. Those assumptions conditioned the actual external results.   <bio>Kurt Mortensen's trademark is Magnetic Persuasion; you should attract customers, just like a magnet attracts metal filings.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ It is said that games of tennis, golf and so on are won or lost on an eleven inch playing field =96 i.e. the distance between the player's ears! <br /><br /> Now I am no sports person, although I always enjoy watching <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/wimbledon" rel="tag">Wimbledon</a>, but I have learned over the years that life and sport are similar in that everything depends upon our thought processes. If you think you can, you can, whereas if you think you can't it's virtually a certainty that you're right! <br /><br /> So to succeed in any endeavor we need to take ourselves in hand, don't we, and begin to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/think+positively" rel="tag">think positively</a> if we've been in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/habit" rel="tag">habit</a> of thinking negatively? I feel it's true to say that most winners are made, not born. To a certain degree we each create our own path through life by the decisions we make and by the way in which we place our focus. Do we <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/focus+on+success" rel="tag">focus on success</a> or, subconsciously at least, on failure? Do we envy others their successes, thinking `Oh, it's all right for them =96 they've had advantages I've never had, nor am likely to have!' or do we aspire to do/be better ourselves, regardless of our background or conditioning? <br /><br /> It's through aspiration and developing belief in our capabilities that we can achieve. Most people are not born with self-belief. In fact I'd say the opposite is true. And unless we were often praised as children and encouraged to `go for it' with words such as "Anything is possible =96 you can do it if you try, and then persevere", the chances are that we grew up believing that winning is for others, not for us. <br /><br /> How sad that is, when actually anyone can be a winner! Not at Wimbledon, necessarily, or on the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/professional+golf+circuit" rel="tag">professional golf circuit</a> or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/football+pitch" rel="tag">football pitch</a> =96 but within! <br /><br /> It's a good idea to begin with small goals and work up bit by bit to bigger ones. Get in the habit of thinking in terms of possibilities instead of impossibilities and of seeing obstacles as opportunities rather than mountains. And give yourself a mental pat on the back at every achievement, no matter how insignificant it might seem to you. So self-belief will grow and seeds will be sown for future, greater growth. <br /><br /> Think like a winner and winning will eventually become integral to the positive person you are! <br /><br /> =A9 Pamela Glynn   <bio>I am a published author with particular interest in self-development.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love the words vision and division. It teaches you so much. One helps you see, the other helps you divide. Take your eyes for example. You can see the Sun,moon,people,all the objects of the external world through your eyes but these same eyes also stop you from experiencing the feeling of oneness between you and someone else. These eyes help you see the external world but they also stop you from entering into your internal world..... These eyes facilitate division as much as they grant you vision. Today, i have some interesting questions for you in this regard... <br /><br /> How many of you pray with your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/eyes+wide+open" rel="tag">eyes wide open</a>? <br /><br /> Very few right. <br /><br />  Why <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/do+you+close+your+eyes" rel="tag">do you close your eyes</a> while praying or meditating? <br /><br /> When you close your eyes you try to shut the doors of the  external world temporarily and make an attempt to rise above your body and mind. All these might happen <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconsciously" rel="tag">subconsciously</a> but it gives you sufficient hint that you dont need your senses to experience the force of God. <br /><br /> You need your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/eyes+to+see" rel="tag">eyes to see</a> the external world but to enter into your internal world you need to shut your eyes at least initially.... AS much as you allow your eyes to see the external world you have to train your eyes to also help you get into your internal world more frequently...The internal world can tell you exactly what you want and the external world can help you get all that you want... Unless you enter into your internal world you will never know what you want and you will always be unhappy no matter what you get... <br /><br /> Those <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beautiful+eyes" rel="tag">beautiful eyes</a> of yours have to learn to see both the external world and your internal world. If you see only the external world you would be watching only the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/second+half" rel="tag">second half</a> of your lifes movie and your views would always be biased . You would be like a child who watches only the second half of the movie and who does not understand why the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/villain" rel="tag">villain</a> is trashed and beaten for no fault of his. You would have missed the first half of the movie where you see the villain committing all sorts of crimes and atrocities and how the hero of the movie is slowly but surely building his character ,shaping his ambitions and sacrificing his life for that one goal which beckons him..... <br /><br /> You have to train your eyes to see the invisible forces behind your actions as much as you see the visible ones...   <bio>Lecturer, entrepreneur and MBA business consultant, John Harricharan is the author of the award-winning book, "When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat."

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Did you know that... there are probably as many ways to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/promote+your+business" rel="tag">promote your business</a> online as there are <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/grains+of+sand" rel="tag">grains of sand</a> on the beach. <br /><br /> The problem with most webmasters and others doing business on the internet is they can't seem to see the myriad of possibilities that are available to them. <br /><br /> Use your imagination to solve your problem. Do some thinking, some searching on line, look to see what others are doing successfully. <br /><br /> Come up with new, different or better ways to promote . <br /><br /> Most people are like water that just runs down hill. They simply take the easiest path. They do what is convenient. They want what is simple and cheap and seems to solve the problem. <br /><br /> They don't want to think. <br /><br /> Here's a tip: Take a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/blank+sheet+of+paper" rel="tag">blank sheet of paper</a> and pencil and do some brainstorming. Write down as many <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/promotional+ideas" rel="tag">promotional ideas</a> that you can come up with in a matter of 10 minutes. <br /><br /> Don't edit your thinking...just write them down. Later, you can come back and edit, delete and trash the "bad" ones. <br /><br /> From that list of ideas select the top 4 or 5 that seem to hold water... that might just work. Expand those limited ideas with some more thoughts and details. <br /><br /> Now take a break... forget the list for a few hours or maybe even overnight. <br /><br /> Having had some time to reflect and subconsciously process those ideas, return to your list and select the one or two that will work for you. <br /><br /> Expand on those selected ideas until you have a plan to make them work. Test your newly planned promotional ideas by tracking the results of some test ads or campaigns. <br /><br /> With some <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/tentative+results" rel="tag">tentative results</a> that look good, do a full fledged <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/marketing+campaign" rel="tag">marketing campaign</a>. <br /><br /> Learning to promote and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/marketing+your+service" rel="tag">marketing your service</a> or product is a trial-and-error method. There are many ways to get to where you are going. The task is to discover the way which will work best for you. <br /><br /> Where are you going to be a year from now? Will you still be chugging away with the same old methods? Are you ready to make some changes to improve your lot on the internet? <br /><br /> (This article may be published to your site or newsletter by not editing any of it and including the resource box below.)   <bio>Larry Johnson is a publisher of an ezine online as well as a webmaster and publisher for more than nine years.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In the last one hundred years the boundaries and definitions of what makes a good relationship have been stretched and distorted into so many new and exciting shapes -- some good and some awful. So what 'makes' a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/relationship+work" rel="tag">relationship work</a> for you? And what's more, what could you do to make the relationship that you are in now -- even better? <br /><br /> Could you seek more pleasure, better <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/communication" rel="tag">communication</a>, more companionship or a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/better+sex" rel="tag">better sex</a> life from your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/partner" rel="tag">partner</a>? Well, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hypnotherapy" rel="tag">hypnotherapy</a> may be what you both are looking for to help you to achieve all of these goals and more. <br /><br /> Within sessions of hypnotherapy, you would realize that over time, your mate will respond subconsciously and will also improve your relationship, even if he/she is not participating actively in dealing with the present issues that you are trying to improve! This means that even if your other half is not interested in going with you for therapy, they can still be affected by it and change for the better. If this is the case you will just be shown techniques that will allow your partner to take notice of the process and want to join in. <br /><br /> There are many issues that can "Rock the Boat" when it comes to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/relationships" rel="tag">relationships</a>, however if the reason that you are looking at this article is because you feel that your relationship could be improved, then let me congratulate you on deciding to use hypnotherapy! <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hypnosis" rel="tag">Hypnosis</a> can help you make dramatic changes in your attitude which will ultimately improve your relations with others. And amazingly, - as YOU make these dramatic changes, your partner will respond unconsciously, and together you will co-create better communication and rapport. <br /><br /> If this is a bit technical for you, in basic terms it means that hypnosis is effective in dealing with the way we think about things. Thinking is powerful, everything starts with a thought! People that have different perceptions normally have different ideas and views about things. <br /><br /> By improving this type of communication you can completely change your relationships for the better! And this is not all. You will also have a tool to help you to achieve the life of your dreams for both you and your partner. <br /><br /> Because hypnotherapy uses the natural processes of the mind and body, you will be amazed just how quickly you will see the benefits! Remember, relationships are not about -- big houses, nice cars or even exotic holidays, but they are about two people living and enjoying life as one. <br /><br /> With a little guidance and time you can truly build a beautiful relationship, now isn't that what you deserve?   <bio>Hypnotherapist, Richard MacKenzie has a page dedicated to using hypnotherapy for relationships at <a href="http://www.richardmackenzie.co.uk/relationships.htm" >http://www.richardmackenzie.co.uk/relationships.htm</a> and also has some great Hypnosis Downloads at <a href="http://www.double-powered-hypnosis.com/lcp.htm" >http://www.double-powered-hypnosis.com/lcp.htm</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Since breathing comes naturally to us and we perform the function <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subconsciously" rel="tag">subconsciously</a>, we hardly appreciate the need for it. However, those who are suffering form asthma, know the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/true+value" rel="tag">true value</a> of breathing, as it is so much an effort for them. They, like us, cannot take breathing for granted. <br /><br /> An <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/asthma+patient" rel="tag">asthma patient</a> suffers severe respiration problems since the lung and air passageways of his are affected. Although we are yet to find a perfect cure for the condition, there are certain things we can practice which will help us to at least curb the symptoms of asthma. To begin with, cleaner the air the patient breathes, more will he be avoiding asthmatic symptoms. And on this count, getting an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/air+purifier" rel="tag">air purifier</a> at home helps. <br /><br /> We should know that impurities in the air like dust, pet <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/allergens" rel="tag">allergens</a>, chemicals, pollen all play a significant role in increasing the symptoms of asthma in a patient. It should be noted however that dust and allergens are by themselves not the cause for asthma. Their presence in the air the patient breathes can only make the problem more severe. <br /><br /> Asthma is caused either by the constriction or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/inflammation" rel="tag">inflammation</a> of the air passages inside our breathing tract. While constricted, the airways become extremely narrow and the surrounding muscles seem to squeeze the airway further. Again inflammation of the passage causes the airways to swell up. <br /><br /> Such constriction or inflammation can happen anytime, anywhere. However, with an air purifier, such occurrences at home can be significantly reduced. As it filters out the allergens and dust particles it allows the asthma patient to breathe much more normally. With airborne substances absent, things are much more comfortable for the asthma patient. <br /><br /> With proper air purifiers, there would be hardly any particles in the air inside the room. There have been studies that show that with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hepa+filters" rel="tag">HEPA filters</a> a purity of 99.7 percent can be achieved within the room. <br /><br /> You might be contemplating buying an air purifier for your home. Before you do so, just take into account a few things. Of them, you need to know how big your rooms are, what kind of filters you are looking for, and what is the kind of capacity you will be happy with in your air purifier. There are loads of models. So you will be spoilt for choice. <br /><br /> Removing toxins from air is a great way to tackle asthma. And an air purifier does it best.  <bio>jason uvios writes about on Air Purifier for Asthma Patients to visit :- <a href="http://www.airpurifiers-today.info" >http://www.airpurifiers-today.info</a>, <a href="http://www.air-purifierstoday.info" >http://www.air-purifierstoday.info</a> and <a href="http://www.airpurity-today.info" >http://www.airpurity-today.info</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Situations and Lessons Series <br /><br /> Katherine is very conscientious, a hard worker and reliable in all cases. <br /><br /> At work and at home, she can be depended on to get things done. She often stays overtime, usually alone at the office in order to get her work done. <br /><br /> When she gets home, she immediately immerses herself in cooking, cleaning, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/washing+dishes" rel="tag">washing dishes</a>, etc. Although the others are home even before she is, they do not even think of helping out. Katherine will do all this. <br /><br /> She is a perfectionist, and although sometimes complains that no one helps, she in fact cannot relax when they do something. First of all, they may not do it right. Secondly, she depends on the role of the super-responsible and super-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/capable+person" rel="tag">capable person</a> to establish her self-worth. She has been programmed that in this way she will ensure respect and love from the others. (The truth, however, is that only her boss is happy about it because his work gets done correctly and quickly. Most of her <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/coworkers" rel="tag">coworkers</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/family+members" rel="tag">family members</a> are annoyed by the tension she creates in her super-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/woman+role" rel="tag">woman role</a>.) <br /><br /> Even when she does manage to allocate responsibilities to others, her anxiety for it to get done and be perfect forces her to do it before the others gets a chance. She is attached to both speed and perfection. She cannot relax when tasks are not completed or when something is not in its place. <br /><br /> Except for putting up with her regular complaining and an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/occasional+outburst" rel="tag">occasional outburst</a> of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/anger" rel="tag">anger</a>, her family members and coworkers have actually got a good thing going. They have very little work to do and depend on Katherine to get it done. Her occasional anger is a small price to pay for not having to do much work. <br /><br /> They sometimes feel sorry for her and want to help her, but they do not know how. They cannot share her standards for order, cleanliness and speed of execution. These are not as important to them as they are to Katherine, and they have never had the opportunity to feel those needs because she has always taken care of everything before they could feel any lack. <br /><br /> Katherine's husband Peter is gradually losing his self-respect and depending more and more on Katherine for things to be done. She even has to take the car to get fixed because he leaves it for months. Her super-woman role is gradually sapping him of all his self-worth and he is becoming ever more lazy and irresponsible. He agrees to do things, but literally takes months to do them. <br /><br /> He is spending more and more time with his friends, playing cards and killing time. He avoids contact with Katherine, who is for him is a continuous reminder of his inadequacy. She makes more money than he does, which is a blow to his manhood. <br /><br /> Childhood Programmings <br /><br /> All this could have been predicted by anyone who was aware of the messages they received as children. Peter, the son of two very active and successful parents, was put off by their hyperactivity and simultaneously very doubtful that he could ever succeed in their eyes and by their measure. He was very fearful of failing. This fear of failure created in him blockages to learning or doing, and he spent most of his time playing games, something he felt he could succeed at. <br /><br /> He heard from his parents on daily basis that he was lazy, incapable and would do nothing with his life. He is now making their words come true. <br /><br /> Katherine understood at a young age that her father wanted a son and not a daughter, and although she was much more intelligent and industrious than her younger brother, he got all the attention. Katherine then decided to prove her worth to her father in masculine terms. She decided that she must succeed professionally and economically so as to be a "man" in her father's eyes and have his attention and love. Thus she became super-woman. <br /><br /> Now Peter and the children have become even more lazy and rebellious. They subconsciously feel the need to do even less. They frequently subconsciously ignore agreements that they have made with her. These are subconscious reactions to the pressure and rejection they are feeling from Katherine. <br /><br /> Now everyone is feeling victimized. Katherine is the victim of their laziness and irresponsibility, and they are victims of her bitterness, rejection and anger. <br /><br /> A change <br /><br /> As a result, Katherine is now ill. She is exhausted, in poor health, and in need of support from her family both in dealing with her illness and in getting things done around the home. She asks for help, but no one can hear her. There is no space in their minds for an "ill super-woman". <br /><br /> They love her and care for her, but they can not hear her needs. She had never expressed weakness, fear or inability before, and this is just so foreign that they feel so uncomfortable, and cannot respond. <br /><br /> Katherine feels doubly hurt and abused. For so many years, she had taken care of all their needs, and now that she needs them, no one is responding. <br /><br /> What could they have all done to avoid this situation?  What lessons do they need to learn? <br /><br /> Katherine: <br /><br /> Does she need to learn that she is worthy of love and respect even if she is not a super woman?  Or that she does not help others when she does their work for them or does not let them carry their own responsibilities? <br /><br /> Perhaps she needs to learn to have faith in the others' abilities or to allow others to grow through their mistakes. <br /><br /> Does she need to learn to express her needs without complaining or accusing, and believe that it is natural that the others will want to support her in fulfilling her needs? <br /><br /> Perhaps she needs to learn how to rest when she is tired, even when everything in not perfect around her. <br /><br /> Peter: <br /><br /> Is his lesson to believe in himself and his intelligence and abilities? <br /><br /> Or could it be that his self-worth is not measured by his achievements but rather by his heart and his character? <br /><br /> Does he need to learn to motivate himself and offer more? <br /><br /> Does he need to work on his childhood years and free himself from false programming? <br /><br /> The others: <br /><br /> Perhaps they need to learn to be more responsible and energetic in their responsibilities and work. <br /><br /> Perhaps they ought to look at Katherine's needs, ignore her complaints and accusations, and help her out even when she does not have faith in how they will do it. <br /><br /> They might also need to learn to hear and respond to her needs even when she cannot express them. <br /><br /> What do you think? <br /><br /> Adapted from the book "Relationships of Conscious Love" by Robert Elias Najemy.   <bio>Robert Elias Najemy, a life coach with 30 years of experience, is the author of over 20 books, 600 articles and 400 lectures on Human Harmony.
