Hair Loss and Confidence

November 19th, 2009

I always acknowledged that hair loss would happen to me when I am ageing but never considered that it would happen to me at such an early age. Shortly before my 30th birthday, I noticed that my hairline was receding. It was tough to believe that I was losing my hair. I was also starting to lose hair on the back of my head.

For the first time in my life, I felt that age has eventually caught up. I felt like the best years of my life were behind me. I even ceased seeing other people. My love life was almost non-existent. There was one girl I had been dating nonchalantly and even though I liked her, I just stopped returning her phone calls. I realized 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 depressed to even try having a romantic relationship.

Hair loss changed me in to a depressed loner, I was always a confident and socialable guy. I was very assured to address the issue and get the problem fixed. I started researching various hair loss treatments that are obtainable in the counter. I have tried every single treatment and solution available from the chemist, nothing worked. 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 gloomy.

Fortuitously, one night a good friend of mine took me out for a few beverages. The first thing he observed about me was my mood, he knew that the hair loss has affected how I felt. He told 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. I wouldn’t have thought that he had endured from hair loss, he had a full head of hair. 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. After just a few hair loss treatments, I had a full head of hair again. The hair loss studio not only helped me regained my hair but also my self-confidence.

It’s a given I’m not that desperately cheesball dude, lethargically accustomed to watching junk tv solo every weekend. I’d bet you haven’t pegged me to write a post about great dating and compatibility. There’s a reason for that.

Datelessness is a fixable trait and totally ripped out of my behavioral makeup. But, Winter of 09 was an exception, I was forced to put the breaks on a special relationship that meant something to me but essentially wasn’t meant to be. So one would say its been a few years since I dated someone new. I don’t hold the great expectations I used to enjoy.

Living free and single isn’t bad. I know one thing, I don’t know how to spend another weekend peacefully watching Two and a Half Men episodes off the torrents. The real reason for this case of weekend dating lameness? My coworkers are stiffs, and there are fewer available women.

My go-getting football buddy, Brandon, who has never had dating boredom, told me he’s almost shooting from the same blind as I am. He linked me to the Great Expectations Dating service. I can’t argue with getting to know attractive chicas around my age. Surprise, I put myself on a plan and signed up.

The point is, there ain’t room to feel down due to not having plans when ya haven’t called anyone. Like my college soccer coach Chris Simms chimed in with a smile, “You’re complaining to the competition, stupid.”

Coach was crazy, and a little out of touch. Even so, Coach was right in a good old fashioned way. He was likable in all ways. This fantastic Dallas matchmaking service I joined might’ve short circuted the gipper’s mind.

Through great expectations I talked to some substantive and appealing women that meet my interest. I truthfully had a carefree night with some terrific incredible singles. Went home following a sweet farewell, and even grew some professional acquaintances for work. Success.

Put yourself in the play. You won’t complain if you sit the bench. Don’t sell yourself short, at least have great expectations for dating.

Cheers!

Till recently, women’s wigs were not forever my personal obsession. Anchoring the nightly news was my goal. This applied until the day when I lost my hair during chemotherapy. It became clear that I can’t permit the chance of becoming the balding Lex Luther by sheer dumb luck.

I imagined that I was all alone, deprived of my hair. I felt like that it was out of my hands to realize great style. Man, was I ignorant. Way before I found my authentic wig, I tried out a number of hot fake hair pieces that got my texture all wrong. My boyfriend Jim found me respectable, medical wig websites that carried natural wigs that would suit me.

Anyhow, I walked to the store and surveyed the options. I noticed an array of beautiful, beautiful real human hair wigs. Their breathable lace front wigs did wonders for me.

Trying on the proper wig, a proud individual in my place may very well develop courage when admitting to her baldness. Never have I been so inspired to toss my current hats. This meant the world to me to sassily regain my personality at the mall.

It wouldn’t surprise me if I’m being ridiculous carrying on like this, however looks are important to who I am. Is there a deeper meaning to reality than a beautiful head of hair? Heck, I don’t care if it were true. Here’s the good news: women’s hair loss can be beat!

I couldn’t tell you what my loved ones have felt like. No one knows the truth of me and my wigs (I have two now, for different styles). Nevertheless that’s where I’m at, I’m thankfully happy to be alive. Real human hair wigs for women improved things for me.

Many could feel that attitude is needy. They don’t know. How is being alive so possible? For me, it’s my husband and my attention-getting sense of fashion.

Feel Good About Your Wig,

Carrie Fleck

Do You Have Panic Affliction

March 10th, 2009

We are always bombarded by both external and internal pressures. It seems that the more we acquire technology and means to create things more rapidly, the more panic attacks increase. We should analyze this further. You may imagine that worries and workloads would diminish with our consistent advancement in technology. Even so, anxiousness and depression appear more commonplace now than when compared to the past. Chances are that in past times, folk did not talk about such unpleasantries. These days are different, we nowadays discuss it openly. Truth is, as a TV watcher, chances are that you have encountered an ad for a medicine, which offers panic attacks treatment (stop-anxietyattacks.net).

people are confronting their troubles in this innovative world of solutions. It might be just public place aversion or a problem sleeping, scientists are always coming up with groundbreaking ways to fix it. Getting quite a bit of their attention is panic attacks and natural depression. When I ponder the notion of depression, I think of somebody who has recently lost a loved one or someone who is afflicted in such a way that keeps them from carrying on normally. Well this is usually a misconception. Numerous individuals are disturbed by the burden of anxiety and depressive disorder for other reasons. We normally do not recognize the reasons. Sometimes it could be as simple as the food we eat. For some reason or another, people seem to have problems with staying content.

Teenagers, as associated with this issue, are of a great concern. Anxiety and depressive disorder seems to be affecting them more than others these days. Acknowledged, being a teenager is difficult in some areas, and unbelievably easy in others. Through many teenagers eyes, it appears all negative. We all were teenagers at least once. We all know what it’s like. Yet, I can never recall being depressed. Who knows what has happened in the last ten years. Panic attacks should not be a part of childhood. In fact, anxiety and depressive disorder should be much less prevalent than it is altogether.

What are the situations and circumstances most likely to cause
stress in your life? Are you at risk from any of these? Here are
the most common causes,

Work

According to a recent survey, 40% of workers described their
jobs as very stressful. Because we all spend so much time at
work, job-related stress can be very harmful.

You need to identify the circumstances at work that cause you
the most stress and take action. You may say that’s obvious, but
many people make like an ‘ostrich’, trying hard to ignore the
problem, because they don’t want to face up to the consequences.

Action could mean talking to your boss or personnel manager to
arrange a job transfer or change or responsibilities, or it
could mean changing jobs or even careers.

Relationships

Often you don’t choose your family and many of your
relationships, and you don’t always get on with everybody. Anger
and emotions are often ’stored-up’ until they explode.

Emotional stress can be relieved greatly by talking, either to a
support group of friends or professional counsellors.

Pregnancy and sex

Pregnancy and sex is an emotive subject that can also cause much
stress. Pregnant mothers worry about their unborn babies and
spouses worry about many issues from performance in bed to
infidelity and infertility.

If you suffer from these causes you will benefit by sweeping
aside taboos and fears, talking openly about your problems to
partner or spouse.

Yoga or other forms of bodywork, such as massage can be very
effective here, especially for mothers-to-be.

Study and learning

Study and learning can cause much distress, weather it’s
professional exams and qualifications or college studies. Often
the problem is time-management. There just are not enough hours
in the day.

Being a student can be a difficult period for many of us but
there is much you can do to counteract the stressful effects of
studying and exams.

Plan ahead, especially when there is an exam at the end. Allow
more time than you think you need. Create a quiet space for
studying where you are not disturbed. Schedule your study time
and don’t allow it to be hijacked.

Health problems

Health problems can cause considerable stress and vice versa. A
vicious cycle can be created. Which comes first? Or, more
importantly what can you do to break the cycle?

So what illnesses and health problems are linked to stress?

Stress can affect heart disease and strokes, immune disorders,
gastrointestinal problems, eating disorders and diabetes. It can
cause tension, pain and insomnia, headaches, migraines and
sexual dysfunction. It can also impair memory and concentration.

This is just a short selection!

Traumatic events

Serious accidents or traumatic events can be a source of stress,
not just at the time of the event, but for many years after.

Traumatic events often causes ‘Post Traumatic Stress Disorder’,
which is usually treated by professionals. However, many less
traumatic events can be helped enormously with simple stress
relievers and stress management techniques.

Children and teenagers

Children and teenagers can be a source of much stress. And as
parents it can be a double bind. Their stress is causing your
distress or it could be that you have difficult or unruly
teenagers making your life much harder.

In particular, teenagers are often stressed by growing pains and
learning to live in an adult world. As adults, problems that you
take in your stride, can be a source of great anguish to them.

Talking to them, in a non-confrontational way, to discover the
source of the problem can work. Babies don’t come with manuals
and we have to learn how to be good parents by experience. But
there are many guides to being a good parent available on the
Internet and bookstores.

Unhealthy lifestyle

Unhealthy lifestyles are the modern stressors. Drinking,
smoking, drugs junk food and vegetating in front of the TV, all
contribute to stress much more than you may realise.

Our bodies and minds are like machines. They need to be used to
regularly in order to function in peak condition. We need to
feed them with the correct nutrients, exercise them properly and
not abuse them.

Understanding what causes you stress will help you greatly to
take back control of your life. Start learning about stress and
seek out solutions that strike a chord with you.

And it doesn’t have to be medications or pills. There are many
effective techniques and strategies that are completely natural
and kind to you and your health.

Selecting the best combination of techniques, to either reduce
or eliminate your stress problem, is really a personal choice.

Whatever you do, start your search today.

Full Engagement

April 21st, 2008

In an article I wrote a few years ago called Do It Now, I explained some time management techniques that allowed me to finish college more quickly than usual. What I probably didn’t make clear in the article was that I didn’t overwhelm myself like a workaholic to pull it off. I had a great deal of leisure time every week, including taking at least one full day off each week. I stole time for doing extra homework mainly from the inefficiencies of school itself, not from my personal time. Some classes require concentration for the entire duration, but at least 80% of them don’t. How much cumulative time during a typical one-hour class are you fully engaged in listening, writing, or doing some kind of mental or physical activity?

For me it was probably about 10-15 minutes per hour on average. The other 45 minutes would be spent waiting for the professor to show up, waiting for the teacher to finish the opening babble-talk, pointless administrative and announcement talk that could have been eliminated with a handout, hearing further examples and explanations for a concept I had already grasped, hearing students ask questions for which I already knew the answer, and lots of digressions into the professor’s nostalgia for the 60s (or worse, the 70s). So during a one-hour lecture, I would put this wasted time to good use by doing schoolwork for other classes, whereas my other classmates would spend a lot of time looking bored and not be fully engaged most of the time. So one of my greatest discoveries was that I could reclaim this wasted time during classes themselves and put it to good use. Instead of sitting there bored, I kept myself working. And this worked so well that I actually did most of my homework during classes, so I didn’t have to do much extra work outside of class.

See any similarities to corporate meetings? What percentage of meeting time are you truly 100% engaged? My guess would be 15-20% on average, but the exact number doesn’t matter.

But let’s generalize this a bit more. What percentage of your day are you fully 100% engaged in whatever it is you’re doing? (I borrow the term “fully engaged” from the book The Power of Full Engagement.) Ask yourself, “Am I fully utilizing all my available personal resources right now?” Think of your brain and body together as a factory where your goal is to maximize output (you’re free to define output however you wish). So you want to keep the machines running as efficiently as possible. If you have machines sitting idle that could be put to good use, you’re operating below capacity.

Now the goal isn’t to push yourself until the veins are bursting out of your forehead. By all means enjoy your downtime. But if you’re going to do some kind of work, then it seems logical to work at full capacity. When you work, really work. The work time will pass anyway whether you’re working at 15% capacity or 95%. But you’ll experience a huge increase in output if you can fully engage yourself.

Children are a great model for seeing full engagement in action. When I watch my 4-year old daughter Emily, she’s always fully 100% engaged in what she’s doing. When she’s playing, she’s 100% playing. When she’s eating, she’s 100% playing. When she’s napping, she’s 100% playing. :)

Sometimes being fully engaged means focusing on one task or project and tuning out everything else. If you’re giving a presentation at work, there’s no room for multitasking. But if you’re preparing a meal or driving to work or cleaning up your office, you can also be listening to audio books at the same time.

If you work at full capacity for a while and get tired, then take a break a real 100% break. Literally shut your brain off for a while, such as by taking a nap or meditating, or just close your eyes at your desk and breathe deeply for 15 minutes. Many of the greatest achievers of all time were nappers, including Thomas Edison. Acknowledge that you’re switching from fully working to fully taking a break. Don’t remain stuck in that haze of not quite working and not quite resting, such as by doing web surfing for a while and then returning to work at 20% capacity. If you feel mentally tired and can’t work anywhere near 100%, don’t grind yourself into the ground. Stop for a while. Switch off your mental factory, do the required maintenance, and then get it back to 100%.

Finding blocks of time where you aren’t fully engaged and upgrading your usage of this time to fully engage yourself is a great way to squeeze more productivity out of your life without becoming overloaded. When you watch TV, are you fully engaged? Not even close. Even while watching TV, you could be cleaning up, exercising, or giving your significant other a foot massage. Now there’s nothing wrong with just relaxing either, but often you’ll find you do have the energy to be more fully engaged in tasks if you push yourself a bit. I have a home gym where I do weight training, and I need to rest briefly between sets. My muscles need these breaks, but my brain doesn’t. So I often read articles from magazines or newsletters during these minutes. Or I’ll listen to an audio book during the whole session. So I turn a sporadically engaged activity into a fully engaged one.

Now you might think that taking all your 20% engaged periods of the day and upgrading them to near 100% will have the effect of exhausting you more quickly. But most likely you’ll experience the opposite effect. When you fully engage yourself, you gain an obvious short-term boost in output, and this has the effect of boosting your energy and self-esteem as well. When you look back on your day and know you only worked at around 20% of capacity, you’ll often feel lousy about it. You know you could have done better and just wasted a lot of time, and years of this behavior tend to be very draining and de-motivating. But when you fully engage yourself, you tend to feel really great about your performance. You’ll still make mistakes, but they won’t be due to lack of effort. When you go to bed, you’ll be thinking, “Wow, I really did my best today. I couldn’t have done it better.”

Being fully engaged isn’t just about doing. It’s also about being. How often have you been off somewhere else mentally? Yesterday I went for a 2-hour walk through various casinos along the Las Vegas Strip (Treasure Island, the Mirage, Caesar’s Palace, Bally’s, and Paris). It was crowded due to the holiday weekend, and I saw a lot of people with vacuous expressions who clearly weren’t fully engaged. People were sitting at the blackjack tables looking utterly bored. Yet occasionally I’d see someone having the time of their life, regardless of whether they were winning or losing. Now it could have been the free alcohol. But at the very least, these people were fully engaged in what they were doing. They were totally present and enjoying themselves. Those who weren’t fully engaged were clearly wandering mentally… thinking about work or other problems or just zoning out completely. Such a sad way to spend a vacation.

Fully engage yourself in the present moment. When you work, get yourself completely into work mode. When you play, forget about work and enjoy yourself. Squeeze the maximum productivity out of your work, the maximum fun out of your play, the maximum connection out of your conversations. If you can’t seem to focus, take 15 minutes to put your complete attention on thinking about whatever is distracting you, and then let it go. If you feel anxious, then give yourself some 100% dedicated worry time, during which you get all your worrying out of the way.

Incidentally, this site is now averaging about 500-600 visitors per day with less than 1% coming from search engines (and 75% of those SE hits are just searches on my name). That’s wonderful for a site that’s only 8 weeks old. I’m seeing a lot of hits coming from various web mail servers, which implies people are learning about this site primarily by word of mouth, or possibly someone announced this site in an email newsletter. Either way, thanks for spreading the word!

Have a fully engaged day! :)

What is your Altitude?

April 17th, 2008

It is something that everyone - and I do mean everyone - has the same opportunity to possess. It is something that can change you, those around you, and your future immediately. It is something that will never leave you in a worse position than before you possessed it. It is something that affects your behavior which then in turn is demonstrated by your performance. This something is called Positive Attitude.

Volumes of books have been written about this subject. And to a person, every successful person - regardless of how you want to define success - gives credit to having a positive attitude. And it sounds sooo easy.

I believe that your attitude, more than any one single thing you have control over, will determine your ALTITUDE in life. And the best news is - you are in total control of your choice.

Lou Holtz, a famous football coach, once said, “Ability is what you’re capable of doing…Motivation determines what you do…Attitude determines how well you do it.”

After all, who decides your attitude? Who decides whether you shall be happy or unhappy? Who decides whether you react or respond to a situation? YOU DO. It is a simple choice. Abraham Lincoln believed that people were just about as happy as they made up their minds to be. And I agree. When you wake up in the morning, you can begin by telling yourself that this is going to be another rough day, looks like rain, it’s Monday of a long week. Or, you can make the decision that this is going to be a great day, the lawn needs the rain, and Monday is the start of another week to get better at what you do. The decision is yours and yours alone!

Attitudes are more important than facts. Hear what I just said; Attitudes are more important than facts. Any fact facing us, however difficult, even seemingly hopeless, is not as important as our attitude toward that fact. If you or I or anybody thinks constantly about the forces that seem to be against us, we will build them up into a force far greater than that which is justified. But, if on the other hand, you mentally visualize and affirm and reaffirm your assets and keep you thoughts on them, emphasizing them to the fullest extent, you will rise out of any difficulty regardless of what it may be.

If you learn to expect rather than doubt, you bring everything into the realm of possibilities. Now I am not here to tell you that with the right attitude you can accomplish anything. That is ridiculous. No matter how positive my attitude is, I am not going to be 6′ 8. I am not going to muscle Shaq out of the lane in an NBA game or throw a no hitter for the Astros. A positive attitude will not allow you to do anything, but it will help you do everything better.

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Sir Winston Churchill

See, you always have two choices to every situation. You can respond, which is positive, or you can react, which is negative. If those seem like the same to you, let me explain. You go to the Dr. and he gives you a prescription and tells you to come back the following day. When you go back and he looks worried and tells you he needs to change the prescription because your body is reacting to the medicine, you’re probably going to be concerned. However, if when you go back he tells you your body is responding to the medicine you are going to be smiling because you know you are on the way to recovery. So, to react is negative while respond is positive - the choice of your attitude is yours.

Having a positive attitude forces you to take personal responsibility.
You are not going to change one single whisper that’s taken place in your yesterday’s of life, but tomorrow is a different subject. Tomorrow is a clean slate. And regardless of your past, you can choose what to write on that slate. You make the choice every time you choose to respond or react. All of life is a series of choices. What you decide to give life today will determine what life gives you tomorrow. You can choose to get drunk tonight, but when you do you have also chosen to feel miserable tomorrow. You can choose to light up a cigarette, but when you do you have also chosen to die thirteen minutes early. You are free to choose, but the choices you make today will determine what you will be, do, and have in the tomorrows of your life.

When employers are asked “Given two employees with identical technical skills, how do you decide who to keep in tough times?” Their answer is to keep the one who is determined to maintain a positive attitude. See, employers know that they can teach you how to do the job. They can provide training to update your skills. But they cannot teach, mentor, or coach you into having a positive attitude - yet any of you here today can learn how to create the attitude that will attract people to you and show your employer, co-workers, and customers you are excited and positive about your job.

I could not help but be affected by the tribute to Ronald Regan. Regardless of how you feel about his politics, you have to admire him for this one single reason; Not one person was able to say they heard him speak unkindly about anyone. That is amazing. Ronald Regan’s beliefs - his attitude - kept him from being dragged down with events around him.

So the choice is yours; will you react or will you respond to the events and situations life throws at you? Will you focus on the positive or allow the negative to rule you? As I said earlier and it bears repeating: A positive attitude doesn’t allow you to do anything, but it will help you do everything better. Your attitude will definitely determine your altitude.

I wish you the best in your pursuits!

What is Your Challenge

April 9th, 2008

January is almost over.

Why do most New Year’s Resolutions fail?

By now, many New Years resolutions would be thrown
out,forgotten, shrugged off. There is always next year.

Why do they fail? Perhaps, because these resolutions are

renewed, recycled, reworded every New Year, without a
serious intent of fulfilling them.Without a plan. It sounds

good at the time. Everyone’s doing it.These resolutions are
empty words. Empty words.

Diet? Lose weight? Cut down on the use of credit cards?

Be more prompt with bill payments? Cut down on shopping.
Read more, pursue that elusive dream, whatever that is.
Be a better partner, parent, friend and employer or employee.
This is a common one:Exercise!. Meditate.

Time is passing by, welcome to 365 days of procrastination.
Time to change your strategy. Yes, life entails strategies, planning,action and implementation.

But, build it one step at a time.

Think of the company you work for. They have a business plan,
a budget; they make sure they have the resources needed,
financial, time and human . They assess their position on schedule.
They implement, they act decisively when it matters.

This is their challenge in order to succeed.

So, what is your challenge?

Replace the worn out resolutions that you make year
year.The words lost their essence, their meaning long ago.
Re-think, plan a strategy to meet your challenge.
Make it worth your while.

In a nutshell, are these pursuits challenging ?

Healthy lifestyle:

1. good , healthy nutritious food

2. healthy portions of food

3. balance work, family and recreation, each area gets a time of their own

4. exercise choose what is best for you, a lot to choose from

5. time for yourself- discover, nurture and listen to your inner self

Financial Health

1. budget- a well planned budget

2. outline major expenses for the year- car, house repairs, travel

3. analysis of spending habits- what you need and what you want

4. pay down debt- mortgage, credit cards

5. no matter what age group- a nest egg /retirement/emergency funds

Try a 21-day challenge.

This is not an original idea. But studies show
that if you try your best for 21 days, it eventually
results in developing a healthy habit. A forum I’m on
has this 21-day challenge. It turns participants into doers.
That’s what you need to become- a doer.

Take it one challenge at a time. What is important to you?
Diet, weight loss?

Challenge yourself to adopt a healthier eating habit.
If fast food and take-out food is your style, there are
healthy choices in this area. BUTis cooking such an aversion
and bother that the convenience of take-out or frozen meals
are so tempting. There are benefits to cooking. You can choose,
experiment and be creative. It’s actually a rewarding endeavour.
Surprise yourself.

You love food, eat very healthy portions, you never feel full.
More food is good for you. OK- think aboout this seriously.

Vegetables. Yuk. What wants them? Think again. You do!!!
Get the idea?

Try this for 21 days. Focus on this challenge,with
dedication and enthusiasm.Do it!

If you succeed, your 21 days would act as your spring board to the next challenge .

One challenge at a time, you can build it up to eventually
meeting all those New Years Resolution you’ve dropped
by the wayside.
