Fixing My Baldness

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources, School of Health, Online Gender Issues — admin at 11:11 pm on Saturday, November 21, 2009

I never considered that I would suffer from hair loss, even though my father had a receding hairline. I first discovered that my hairline was receding shortly before my thirtieth birthday. I was scared and in denial that I was losing my hair. I even started losing hair on the rear of my head.

It was the first time in my life I felt old. I felt like the best years of my life were behind me. I even ceased seeing women. My love life was almost non-existent. There was one girl I had been seeing casually and even though I liked her, I just stopped returning her calls. I figured that I hadn’t found the woman of my dreams with a full head of hair so there was no way I was going to find someone with my growing bald spot. I was too dismayed to even try having a loving kinship.

Hair loss transformed me in to a depressed loner, I was always a confident and extroverted guy. I’ve I have never been one to just sit back and let problems overwhelm me. I started trying several hair loss treatments that are available in the counter. Nothing I got from the drug store worked and believe me, I gave them all a go . After many failures, I decided to stop trying for a while. It was a real low point in my life. I even stopped going out with my friends, I was so deflated.

Luckily, one night a good friend of mine took me out for a few beverages. He had noticed that I looked a little down and thought he knew why. He mentioned to me about the hair loss studio in the city. My friend had gone there for hair loss treatments and had been impressed with the results. I was even more impressed. My friend had a full head of hair and there was no sign of hair loss. He made me promise to give them a go and I agreed.

I could not have been happier with the hair loss studio recommended to me. Only after a few treatments, I had a full head of hair again. The results were excellent, they did not just give me my hair back but also my self-confidence.

Managing My Monthly Budget: a Healthy Program for Financial Peace of Mind

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources, Finance Information — admin at 11:27 am on Saturday, November 21, 2009

If you’re reading this article, you’re probably having slight financial stress and searching for a way to gain control of your finances. The best way to do this is to formulate a monthly budget and sticking to it. A sound budget is a fundamental tool for managing money, one that has allowed me to get on with my day to day life even on limited funds. One of the most critical things that I do every month is planning my monthly budget, this has allowed me to consistently meet all expenses, grow my savings, and control debt.

I map out my budget for the upcoming month on about the 20th of the current month. This will prepare me with my expenditures in the coming month. It’s not a good idea to develop a budget after getting paid because, too often, that flush feeling of receiving a paycheck leads to nonessential and spontaneous spending before the paycheck ever reaches the bank.

Start your personal budget by listing all the things that must be paid that month like rent, electricity bills, insurance policies, loan repayments and telephone bills. These are the things I must pay to keep a comfortable roof over my head and continue earning money. I like to pad these essentials to produce “money back” after paying the bills and, if costs increase unexpectedly, I’m always covered.

Next, my budget is subjected to a list of discretionary things I need to cover but could live without if absolutely unavoidable. These items may include monthly savings deposits, credit card repayments, and donations to charity. Don’t get me wrong, some of these things are also essential, but in case of emergency they can be left out. By giving credit card companies the maximum instead of the minimum, I keep my credit score high and my debt low.

My budget will not include the cost of living such as food and entertainment. These expenses get covered by what’s left over and that’s that. Some months involve lots of beans and rice, slow-cooker meals, free or cheap entertainment, and only one inexpensive piece of clothing . This strategy of managing my monthly budget has worked out very well over the long term as long as I honor it religiously.

My Hair Loss Story

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources, School of Health, Looking Good — admin at 9:28 pm on Tuesday, August 25, 2009

My hair loss treatment journey begun the day I started to notice my receding hair line and my bald spot becoming bigger. I would spend hours and hours looking for ways to comb my hair a certain way to cover my hair loss. I began to wear more and more caps on the weekends as I went out with my wife, acquaintances or family. Walking in to work every morning was a painful experience without my hat on. Your thoughts changes when you are going through hair loss. It is so true that you never know what you have until you lose it. That can be true about your hair loss.

Having suffered from balding, I began to treasure every strand of hair that I had left. It was as if with each strand of hair I lost, so was a small percentage of my confidence gone as well. A acquaintance of mine had been having the same problem as me. I noticed recently that he seemed so much more relaxed and it looks as though his hair was growing back. I never wanted to bring it up but after a while I decided to ask. It was then that he recommended to me Advanced Hair Studio. My friend Josh told me that he had only had a few treatments and has already started to see some results, he not only regrown his hair, but his self-assurance as well. After seeing what Josh has attained from Advanced Hair, I decided to pay them a visit.

I was a little sceptical at first. But within a few weeks the effects were obvious. Not only on my head, but in my attitude. I started to lose the hats on the weekends and I quickly began to feel better about myself. My wife has also found a change in my day to day behaviour as well. It is amazing how just a few visits to the Advanced Hair Studio had begun to change my life as a whole. I always felt as if the first thing people noticed about me was my bald spot. Now, I am not afraid to look people in the eyes again as I have my full set of hair back.

Advance Hair Studio has not only given me back my hair, but a big part of my life as well. If you are experiencing hair loss I highly recommend them as it has done so much for me in just a few months of treatments. Don’t let your self-confidence continue to be lost with your hair.

How to Write the Most Effective Cv

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources — admin at 1:49 am on Tuesday, July 7, 2009

A resume presents yourself to the potential employer. It makes the first impression on the potential employer on the candidate’s skills, qualification, certifications and work experience. So, a professionally well-written and well-organised resume can assist in securing an interview with the prospective employer.

While developing a curriculum vitae, the direction must be on the requirements of the business and your capacity to fit in the role at offer. The resume should be put together by blending the job applicant’s skill sets and experience with the needs of the firm. It is composing about how an applicant can fulfill the needs of the certain opening in the business.

There are many misconceptions about resume writing that requires clearing up. Trying to stand out among the crowd by making the curriculum vitae spectacular will not serve the purpose. The CV should not be something unusual, unique or tricky. However, if the facts are organised in a professional style, outlining particulars relevant to the occupation’s requirements, it will definitely impress the recruitment agent to call the candidate for an initial interview.

The main objective of a CV is to introduce the job applicant and present the skill sets, qualification, experience and credentials of the individual so that the HR manager is impressed enough to call him for a face-to-face interview. The CV should only incorporate information, which is relevant to company’s wants. This may include the experience of the applicant, which is good for the job position. Avoid putting together a long description of your former job experiences.

A good, well-designed curriculum vitae is the key to opening the exact doors to the right chance in the job seeking process.

How Interviews Work

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources, World Of Management, Market — admin at 9:02 pm on Friday, June 26, 2009

Interviews are usually preceded by the evaluation of supplied resumes, selecting a small number of candidates for interviews are considered to be one of the most useful tools for evaluating potential employees, they also demand significant resources from the employer and have been demonstrated to be notoriously unreliable in identifying the optimal person for the job. Multiple rounds of job interviews may be used where there are many candidates or the job is particularly difficult or desirable; earlier rounds may involve fewer staff from the employers and will typically be much shorter and less in-depth. A common initial interview form is the phone interview, a job interview conducted over the telephone.

This is especially common when the candidates do not live near the employer and has the advantage of keeping costs low for both sides. Once all candidates have had job interviews, the employer typically selects the most desirable candidate and begins the negotiation of a job offer. It is very important to be well prepared for an interview. According to the University of Delaware’s career center, a common reason employers gave for not hiring an applicant, is the inability of the applicant to fully explain the contents of his or her curriculum vitae.

Therefore it is important to be able to talk about in detail every detail listed on one’s curriculum vitae, and if executable to give examples when appropriate. It is also wise to research the company before the interview. To avoid being nervous, practice answering difficult questions.A masterful source of interview questions can be found by searching the Internet.

A typical job interview has a single prospect meeting with between one and three persons representing the employer; the potential supervisor of the employee is usually involved in the interview process. A larger interview board will often have a specialized human resources worker.The meeting can be as short as 15 minutes; job interviews usually last less than two hours.The bulk of the job interview will be the interviewers asking the prospect questions about their history, personality, work style and other relevant factors to the job.

The primary intent of the job interview is to appraise the prospect’s suitability for the job, although the prospect will also be assessing the corporate culture and needs of the job on offer. A common type of job interview in the modern workplace is the behavioral interview or behavioural event interview.

There are plenty of great resources on medical interviews out there. You should make sure you select your tutor wisely.

Benefit from Professional Dating Service

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources, Dating, Tips + Tricks — admin at 6:53 pm on Wednesday, June 24, 2009

I am not so miserable, but life can be lonesome without a date. I finally bottomed out, this morning I devoured what seemed like a pound of bacon. On a weekend while being single, for once. Yeah, I did it. Am I crazy? Honestly, that’s when I honestly considered finding a date in my area.

Easy solution. I can mix up my social life with a professional dating service, Denver Great Expectations. That sounds like a plan. Why do I bring it up? We were at my boy’s t-ball game in Dallas last night, Richard wanted to know if I’ve found a special lady. They sure have nerve. So, I said, “what’s your deal, yo?”

No surprise that The Old Tooter (aka: grandpa) mindlessly kept jabbing me about my personal matters. I joked to all of them: “Seriously, I’ll never find a gorgeous single woman hanging out with you.”

How can they be so rude? No one knew what I was talking about, as usual. Perturbed, I fell asleep that night to put my dating woes behind me. Why can’t I stop thinking about this! I can’t imagine what I was thinking there. My cousin, who recently moved to Italy recommended that I browse the singles profiles at Great Expectations. I said, “Sure, whatever.” But it really was a good idea. I am truly grateful for this dating service full of fun and desirable Dallas singles.

At the time, dating services were a novel thing because I’m a traditionalist of sorts. I’d never done anything like this before, so much so that I got a little queasy. That slight disaster didn’t stop us from enjoying ourselves. That night I enjoyed was full of crazy-fun mingling. The one cool thing that really struck me were the many enjoyable people I met, all available singles.

I started going to these splendid Great Expectations Dallas singles events and mixers, I rubbed elbows with a handful of marvelous guys and gals who certainly share a parallel understanding when it comes to dating. I really shouldn’t allow everyone give me a hard time about being single. Astoundingly enough, mingling in Dallas with Great Expectations is a good time and like a dream come true.

Don’t Wig out: Lace Front Wigs that Help You

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources, School of Health, Looking Good — admin at 8:27 am on Tuesday, June 9, 2009

As a girl, women’s wigs were not forever my personal obsession. Dancing was my goal. That was true until the moment I lost my hair during chemotherapy. I said that I shouldn’t condone the outcome of being a thin-haired Bruce Willis from New Hampshire.

Personally, this meant that I’d lost myself, lacking beautiful hair. It became clear that it was out of my hands to get back fabulous style. Boy, how wrong. Previous to receiving my new real wig, I went through a wide array of inadequate unnatural hair pieces that didn’t match my scalp. My soulmate Reginald told me about respectable, medical wig websites that carried invisible lace front wigs that would look great.

So I jumped into the car and surveyed the options. I uncovered a cornucopia of astonishing, stylish human hair wigs. Their natural African American wigs fit me perfectly.

Provided the proper hair piece, a proud individual akin to myself should grow fearlessness when accepting her loss of natural hair. Now I see this as an opportunity to expose my current hats. It was magical to finally brush my hair while at the family picnic.

Perhaps I’m being ridiculous carrying on like this, but hair and fashion are essential to my profession. Could there be more things to being alive than an amazing flow of hair? Boy, it wouldn’t matter anyway if someone told me otherwise. Its true, medical wigs offer an important option for stylish ladies who can relate.

You would not believe what this has meant to me. Only close friends and family know the reality of me and my thinning hair. But there you have it, I’m definitely happy to to strut my stuff. Fashionable human hair medical wigs for women made so much better for me.

Many might determine this attitude is needy. They’re ignorant! I don’t care who you are, what creature comforts make being alive so possible? Speaking for myself, the secret is love and my hair.

Feel Good About Fabulous Hair.

Motivation and Success: Improved Techniques

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources — admin at 12:09 am on Tuesday, May 27, 2008

Changing our internal programming that limits us has never been simpler or easier; we just expect it to be more complex! When we associate images or objects that provide a state of relaxation and joy we create a receptive environment for the unconscious mind to accept powerful motivation and successful results.

Founding Father of Autosuggestion:

In the late 19th and early 20th century Emile Coue (a chemist who became a hypnotist) experimented with autosuggestion techniques with great results.

He believed and showed that by using one’s inner resources and imagination one could improve their life physically, mentally and spiritually.

The success he had curing patients with the affirmation below was nothing short of spectacular!

“Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better.”

As a pharmacist he would encourage his patients to say this affirmation 20 times with a low voice, morning and evening, in a state of relaxation, like a litany.

He found the following immutable relationships (facts) that we have expanded:

A. When the will (conscious mind) and the imagination (unconscious mind) are antagonistic, it is always the imagination (unconscious mind) that wins, without exception.

This means, we can’t override our passive unconscious beliefs with our conscious thoughts. Most of us think we can and we are - what an illusion we are weaving!

B. In the conflict between the will (conscious mind) and the imagination (unconscious mind), the force of the imagination is in direct ratio to the square of the will.

This means, our unconscious mind’s beliefs are far more pervasive than we have ever understood, as the will (conscious mind) times the will (conscious mind) is a very strong force yet still only in ratio to the imagination (unconscious mind)!

We would have to constantly work ourselves into a huge state to override the unconscious mind consciously. Sometimes we can do this, though not often.

C. When the will (conscious mind) and the imagination (unconscious mind) are in agreement, one does not add to the other, but one is multiplied to the other.

What we already believe and know: unconscious and conscious, work very together very well in us. What we believe but don’t know are antagonistic and cause most of our limitations.

D. The imagination (unconscious mind) can be directed.

Without this we would never be able to change, our limitations would rule supreme! With this we have a powerful tool for input to align our conscious and unconscious minds for amplification of our intention!

Current Advocates:

This information has been used in many walks of life since.

Renowned motivators like Anthony Robbins and others have used this information to instil success programming into the unconscious mind of students though the use of affirmations.

Many have also used the hype through our peak experiences to make it more thrilling and attractive. This can retrain the unconscious mind or imagination to a new belief that hype is required to enable change: a potentially exhausting proposition for the home based student!

Successful athletes ‘program’ an anticipated winning performance and outcome for an event prior to their participation.

Movie producers lead our unconscious mind through a story to create an emotional reaction in us that we may not have experienced in real life.

Transforming it for Now:

We know that in a relaxed state we are more receptive to suggestion.

Want to convince someone of what you are saying? Use a technique that powerful motivational speakers use - disarm the audience first by getting them to relax, either by stretching or by being humorous.

So what is the most effective way to multiply the will (conscious mind) by the imagination (unconscious mind)?

Be in a relaxed and joyful state. In this state we are the most receptive to suggestion.

To do this;

- Choose an affirmation that would change your life, if you could act as if it were true.

- Induce a state of relaxation, and,

- Give it a tremendous boost by associating it with joy, a state of our higher mind.

Emile Coue repeatedly stresses that in order for autosuggestion to work, efforts must not be made; the will (conscious mind) must not be used. Affirmation must be used effortlessly; otherwise we are using the conscious mind only and doomed to mediocre results!

Dolphins Alive:

My wife, Rosemary, and I have had many years experience coaching our clients to prosperity, leadership and living! One of the most effective methods we use is affirmations, with visual stimuli and higher mind states (joyfulness).

We want to share these results more widely and so set up a web site of dolphin gifts with affirmations. We have used dolphins, because of our universal relationship of joy through the magic they provide us, regardless of culture, religion or race. We have teamed this with powerful affirmations on our web site e store.

We hope that this provides not only a personalized experience but assists in effecting change in those aspiring to a greater life.

Happiness And Health Are The Two Most Important Things In Life

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources — admin at 5:25 am on Wednesday, April 30, 2008

The world is becoming obsessed with money and all things material. From the size of your house, the type of car and even where you travel on your holidays, some people are trying to go one better do their friends and family.

For me these people are quite sad. I have a friend who is similar to the people above, he is always thinking of money, always talking about money. How to earn it, how to spend it etc. He is part of a lottery syndicate, there are about fifty people in this syndicate. When he goes out on the Saturday evening, he always takes with him a piece of paper with the numbers on and a little pen. At around nine o’clock he phones his girlfriend and she tells him what the numbers are for that particular night. He then spends around twenty minutes checking the numbers, and then re-checking to see if he has any winning lines.

He then returns from the toilet area and is asked by other members of the group about how much he has won/lost. He has yet to have any major win to this point, this does not deter him however and for the next hour, he will start a debate, asking different people how they would spend their winnings, if they ever won the lottery.

For me the two most important things in life are health and happiness. These are two things which money can not buy. A number of years ago, my father became very ill. He had to spend around five months in hospital and he was only fifty seven. I feared the worst, even though I was trying my hardest to think and stay positive. I remember thinking, if I could give those doctors everything I own in the world, it still would not help him.

Happiness is the same, at times I have had lots of cash in my back pocket, however have been quite depressed. At other times I have had next to no money and have been extremely happy.

The Underestimated Power of Kindness

Filed under: Internet Self Improvement Resources — admin at 11:20 am on Sunday, March 30, 2008

It was a bright Saturday morning in the late fall. I had stopped at a cafe’ to enjoy a cup of coffee and scan the morning newspaper. Suddenly, I felt a hand on the back of my jacket and heard someone say, “Hey Steve! How ya doin’?”

Looking up, I saw a boy wearing a mechanic’s uniform worn by employees of the gasoline station next to the cafe’. He looked familiar, but, at first, I was unable to recall where we had met.

He also held a cup of coffee, so I asked him to join me. Very soon, his story–and probably my coffee–began to thaw out my memory.

Five years earlier, he had been traveling home late on a February night. He still had several of his friends with him. A ferocious blizzard had arrived that afternoon, and by midnight, the snowdrifts were getting deep. He recalled hitting a drift just down the road from my house.

He had walked to my house for help. I had taken my pickup and a towing rope and pulled him out of the snowdrift and up to the highway where maintenance trucks had cleaned away the snow.

This has been a common occurrence here during the winter. I cannot count the times someone has also pulled my car from a snowdrift.

However, it was an unforgettable experience for him. He was only eighteen at the time, and he described how frightened he had been. One would not want to be stuck all night in a storm like that one. Within a couple hours, my pickup would not have made it to the highway.

As it turned out, his memory and account of that snowy night was a very unexpected–and much appreciated–kindness toward me. I thanked him sincerely for stopping to chat during his break.

His memory of our unexpected meeting in a snowstorm brightened my entire day. Since then, we have had several chats over a Saturday morning cup of coffee.

Leo Buscaglia wrote, “Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

Such simple actions can indeed have an underestimated power. Many people desperately need kind words, smiles, and listening ears. They need ears that will hear without judging and respond without possessing.

One simple kindness at the right moment can change the direction of a life and shine a light of hope when all light seems to have gone out. Sometimes it has the power to save a life.

Here is a great quote that I keep in my e-journal. It was written by William Penn…

“I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”

Make today a memorable day by sharing a smile or kind word with at least one other person. It is difficult to estimate the tremendous power and value that the simplest acts of kindness bring. However, they do not stop where they begin. Their underestimated power will continue to bring you a life of joy and memorable experiences.
