Thought Stopping
You’ve heard the old saying, ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Modify it and you’ll get, ‘All stress and no relaxation makes Jack a dead guy.’ Yes it’s true that stress can sometimes lead to life-threatening consequences. But the brutal truth is that in today’s competitive world, stress has become unavoidable.
Talking about stress always reminds me of my friend Sona. She has a tendency to get worried and anxious about every little thing. Once that happens, her mind works overtime thinking of every possible disaster that could happen. Her thoughts range from “I have to complete this work today … or else my boss will get mad at me … and if I loose my job it will be awful … I wonder if my marriage would survive tough times. Times are bad … & so on.”
How to Sleep Well
Are you turning into an insomniac? Or can you fall asleep only by popping pills? Taking recourse to sedatives, tranquilizers, and is not the answer to your sleeping problems. These medicines work — but only for a while.A better alternative to these is a psychological technique such as the Progressive Muscular Relaxation method, which not only helps to relieve the sleep problem, but will also reduce your overall anxiety level.
Research studies have shown that muscular relaxation reduces the time needed to fall asleep, the number of times one wakes up during the night, and the feeling of tiredness in the morning. Even yoga and meditation help tremendously.

Master The Art of Persuasion
All people want it their way.
You have been trying to persuade since you were a baby: crying, smiling, practicing that pageant wave and banging your hands on the table. It’s primitive for sure but effective. Babies tend to get their way.
Remember going to the ice cream parlor and begging for that ice cream cone? That was persuasion. Remember dating in high school? That was persuasion.
But now that you have a title you need to keep up that tenacity because now you can attain more with the crown and sash! If the title is all about opportunities then this is your make it or break it time to shine. Now that you have a chance to fulfill your dreams you have to call on a different set of skills (No more crying and throwing fits!) you have the natural agility to persuade. All you have to do is uncover it and practice.
Persuasion takes on many forms. You might want others to see your point of view regarding a subject, agree with your ideas or take action. Persuasion is a skill and a science. It can be learned and mastered in ways that aren’t offensive and yet very successful.
Persuasion is not just a selling skill. Persuasion is a life skill. To master it you have to change the way you think and interact with others. That includes everything from what you wear to what your body says – from hand gestures to the spoken word.
