    Elliot Spitzer is Bad for America
    Many believe that Elliot Spitzer is cleaning up Wall-Street, although it is fairly obvious that his is much better at filing bogus lawsuits and then alerting the media with 8800 press releases. We should have a big problem with Elliot Spitzer if we are honest about our financial markets. By filing bogus lawsuits we end up hurting good companies and scaring monies away from financial markets or cause stocks and mutual funds. It is similar to the threatening Al Qaeda and International Terrorists.Ad

    Substitutes for Butter
    Instead of Butter: Use top quality, cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil, from the first pressing, or flaxseed oil. The taste of virgin olive oil is appealing to millions of people around the world, so why not adopt it to your taste?Flaxseed oil is prized for health reasons and not for its taste. You can always compensate for that by adding spices to the appropriate dish. Let’s say you want to add a little flaxseed oil to mashed potatoes, instead of butter. You could add basil, oregano, rosem
    How to Control Your Anger: Retreat and Think Things Over

    Jim and Mary Jones loved each other deeply, but often went into horrific verbal battles over any number of issues. They would argue and yell for hours, often into the night, leaving both of them exhausted, emotionally disconnected, hurt and resentful toward each other.

    Both became so upset they were flooded with negative feelings which prevented their being able to repair the damage, to think rationally, or to problem-solve the issues at hand.

    Much of this emotional suffering could have been prevented or least minimized had they learned anger control tool #8:

    —“Retreat and Think Things Over.”

    Basically this means to temporarily distance yourself from the situation for a period of time so that both of you can calm down. This allows your bodily systems to return to normal, and allows your normally good reasoning and thinking ability to return.

    Easier Said Than Done

    Yes, it is much easier said than done. It is one of those tools that sounds deceptively simple, yet it is by no means easy to do for at least two reasons:

    There is a common myth that all relationship conflicts should be “settled” in the moment while the intense feelings are present. If you do not do this, you may be accused of “avoiding” the issue.

    Once stress or anger levels escalate to a certain point, one or both partners reach a point of no-return, due to flooding of the brain with intense emotions. This makes it almost impossible to disengage from each other and stop the fight.

    Quitting Smoking - Find Your Wake-up Call
    Last year, a friend of mine went to visit his brother in hospital. In the bed opposite was a man whose mouth was screened from view, with a metal frame holding his jaw open. Curious, my friend asked his brother what was wrong."The poor chap had tongue cancer, and his tongue had to be removed. He's a heavy smoker -- forty a day, his wife said."At the time, my friend smoked around twenty cigarettes a day himself, but that hospital visit was a huge wake-up ca

    Why this tool works

    Temporarily removing yourself from the situation allows your body to return to normal, provides a cooling-down time. It also allows your brain to return to its normal state where you can reason and think better.

    This tool helps prevents you or your partner from saying unfair or hurtful things in the heat of battle—which can easily escalate into further conflicts and resentments, causing you and your partner to become even more emotionally cut-off and distanced from each other.

    Some Basic Rules

    While the concept of “Retreat and Think Things Over” is simple, it will not work very well unless the following rules are followed:

    Rule #1: You can only use the tool for yourself - not your partner. It does not usually work for you to tell your partner it is time for them to retreat.

    Rule #2: Announce that you need to take a time out and Retreat before you do it. This should be done using assertive communication in a way that clearly conveys your need to leave before thing get out of hand, as opposed to your leaving to merely avoid dealing with the situation.

    Rule #3- You need to commit to a reasonable length of time to return and deal with the issue— no longer than several hours, as a general rule.
