Winter time is depression time for many women. Susun Weed gives Wise Woman wisdom on how to deal when depression strikes!
Winter time is depression time for many women. Perhaps it is harder to look at the bright side when days are short, perhaps the holidays and family demands take their toll on us. Of course, depression can also be triggered by lack of thyroid hormone and by use of steroids, high blood pressure drugs, and ERT/HRT.

But most often the cause of depression is the belief (valid or not) that nothing you do makes any difference. Victimization and poverty lock women into depression. More than one-third of all American women have been victims of sexual or physical abuse; and women make up more than two-thirds of all Americans who live below poverty level. Yet our culture frowns on women who express their anger. No wonder depression is a woman’s issue.

“Look here,” Grandmother Growth motions to you as she spreads her story blanket at your feet. “See how depression is deeply woven with anger and grief. When our need for reliable, joyous intimacy is frustrated, and expression of our frustration would endanger us, depression comes and protects us. When there is no way to deal effectively with situations that enrage us, depression comes and helps us quiet our violent impulses.

“Depression is not an easy companion on your journey, but she knows much about life. In her bundle, she carries the anger you have carefully frozen with frigid blasts of fear and kept nourished with your pain. She carries your wholeness. She carries your ability to go beyond the pain, your ability to allow your rage to move you into health. She carries your wholeness. Will you let her teach you?”

Wise Woman remedies don’t seek to eliminate our feelings, or turn “negative” ones into “positive” ones, but to help us incorporate all of our feelings into our wholeness/health/holiness.

* Welcome the dark. Cherish the deepness. Give yourself over to a day or two of doing nothing. Then, get up, no matter how bad you feel. Set a goal for the day and meet it. Smile - it releases brain chemicals that make you feel good. Smile no matter what. Do it as an exercise. Hate it while you do it. But SMILE!

* Homeopathic remedies include Arum metallicum, for women with frequent thoughts of suicide who feel cut off from love and joy; and Sepia, for women who are disinterested in everything, angry at family and friends, and just want to be left alone.

* It’s more than idle chatter that depression comes with gray skies and happiness with sunny ones. For emotional health (and strong bones) get 15 minutes of sunlight on your uncovered eyelids (outside, no glasses, no contacts) daily. If you can’t get out (or if the sun doesn’t cooperate), wake up 1-2 hours earlier than usual. (You can stay in bed, but keep those eyes open.)

* Sing the blues; dance ‘em too. Women have depended on songs and dances to carry them out of depression for centuries. Dance therapy is more effective than talk therapy for reaching and healing traumatic experiences. Even a single session may have a dramatic effect.

* Find your rage and write it down. Get a massage and let the anger move out of the muscles. Volunteer to help change something you are upset about, even a small thing.

* St. Joan’s/John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) lives in very sunny locations and blooms at summer solstice. I call it bottled sunshine. A dropperful of the bright red tincture taken 1-3 times daily has helped many women relieve SAD (seasonal affective disorder), move through grief, ease the physical pain of depression, and walk on the sunny side! CAUTION: Hypericum in capsules is not as effective and can cause unwanted side effects.

* Oatstraw infusion (not tea, tincture, or capsules) has been an ally for depressed women since earliest times. Gentle Avena nourishes the nerves and helps you remember why life is worth living.

To make an infusion: Brew one ounce by weight of dried herb (that’s a cup by volume) in a quart jar filled to the top with boiling water. Steep for at least four hours, then strain and refrigerate your infusion. Drink as many cups a day as you wish. Or make an oatstraw bath by adding two quarts of infusion to your bath water.

* Garden sage (Salvia) is an ancient ally for emotionally-distressed women. In some societies, only crones were allowed to drink the brew made from the nubbly leaves (at least partly because it delays menses and dries up breast milk). Make an infusion (see oatstraw); drink by mixing a few spoonfuls of the dense brew into hot water or warm milk; add honey to taste. The undiluted infusion keeps for weeks refrigerated.

* Behavioral and interpersonal therapies are as effective as drugs in relieving depression. Not only that, two-thirds of those who simply read about therapy improve significantly.

* Thirty minutes of aerobic exercise, especially soon after awakening, has been shown to help women whose depression is resistant to all treatments, including drugs.

* Sleep less. If you are a woman who overproduces a normal depression-causing substance which accompanies sleep you will feel depressed and often find it difficult to wake up. Sleeping more will only compound the problem. Instead, stay up all night once a week. If you can’t cope with no sleep, even mild sleep deprivation (such as sleeping five hours or less for two nights in a row) dramatically decreases depressive symptoms in some people.

* Low levels of calcium, zinc, and B vitamins are associated with depression. Get more by eating more cheese and yogurt, more garlic and mushrooms, more whole grains and beans.

* Lack of vitamin B12 doubles the risk of severe depression for older women. This critical nutrient, found only in animal products, is destroyed by tofu and soy beverage. Drink real milk, eat real cheese, eat meat at least occasionally and watch your mood improve

* 1600 mg of SAM-e (A-adenosylmethionine) relieved the symptoms of moderate depression as well as imipramine, but no better than Hypericum (St. J’s wort). CAUTION: Of the brands tested by Consumer Reports, only Natrol, Nature Made, TwinLab, and GNC passed all tests.

* Avoid hormone replacement - ERT/HRT - if you’re depressed; it’s strongly associated with an increase in suicide attempts.

* Women who used to take lithium say they have gradually switched over to skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). A dose of infusion is one cup/250 ml or more per day; of fresh plant tincture is 5-8 drops twice a day; of the dried plant tincture is a dropperful/1 ml several times a day. CAUTION: Skullcap can make you sleepy.

* For women whose depression resists all other therapies, electro-convulsive treatments (ECT), previously known as shock treatments, have been updated with special care taken to minimize harm. The women I spoke with who were using ECT told me it was incredibly effective, and the side-effects, including severe memory loss, acceptable to them. From doing nothing, to ECT, the range of remedies available to depressed women is enormous. To help you choose wisely, these effective, simple Wise Woman remedies are in order of safety: the safest remedies first, and the most dangerous ones last.

When choosing laminated flooring, you have options to buy a glueless or glue versions, one of which make the installation job easier. No matter what type of laminate flooring you choose, you will want to take care with the installation and make sure the job is done correctly. This will ensure your floor retains its quality and beauty for years to come.

By choosing the glue version and to install the laminate flooring yourself, its highly recommended that you invest in classes at your local home improvement center. The installation glue can be a bit tricky. Glue laminate flooring takes longer to install, longer to set and can be messy. This was the first type of laminate floors available on the market and is less expensive than the “click together” versions offered today therefore making it still desireable with many do it yourself home owners.

General Tips on Working with Installation Glue

Before you begin installing your laminate floor, make sure you have enough glue to cover your entire project. Generally, one can of installation glue will be enough for about 500 square feet. Some types of laminate flooring only require a small bead of glue on certain spots. Pergo flooring requires you to put glue all along the grooves, as well as on the ends.

When you are applying the installation glue, read and follow the instructions included with the product which will guide you on where to put the glue and how much glue to use. Too much or too little may cause immediate or future problems with the laminate flooring. Keep plenty of old rags within hand’s reach during the installation and gluing process, just in case of drips or spillage. If you do spill glue, and do not realize the spill until it has already dried, use acetone to remove the residue.

Once the laminate floor is installed, there may be swelling in the floor joints within a couple of weeks. This is good and not something to be concerned about. This means the flooring is soaking up the glue from the installation, so the seal will be effective. The swelling will eventually go down. For a good seal on your floor, use the tightening straps and a tapping block. Check for sawdust in the floor piece grooves if the grooves are not meshing together with ease. This may happen when you trim the planks to fit.

Check with your local home improvement center and ask for recommendations on glue techniques and manufacturers of these types of floors. Glue installations can be a little more labor intensive, but also can be worth the effort.

The same sun, the same sky, the same home, and the same routine. Life is boring. Every day is same. How to carry on from day to day? Why does a week not have seven sundays? Don’t you find yourself saying - ‘I want to enjoy life. I am getting bored with my schedule that never changes. There is no excitement in my life.’ Ask few friends around their life and they will say something similar. Why is life becoming a bore for them and how to make it exciting?

Can one escape work? No sensible person can? Can a parent stop caring for his/her children? No. Can an executive stop taking decisions? No. Then how to make life exciting? There must be some way. Yes, there is a way and it is very simple. Just look out of your window and watch the sky. Do you observe any clouds? Look at them. Look at the different shapes? Who made them? From where did they arrive and where will they go? Look at some flowers in your home. Observe the symmetry. Touch and feel the softness. How lovely! We are surrounded by treasures, but we have no time to look at them. A child’s smile can make today a different day than any other day. Try to make a child smile and feel the joy.

Look at the night sky. Observe the stars and think about the distances. Some are so far away that it takes light, hundreds of years to reach us. How many millions of years you will take to walk and reach them? What is beyond them? Observe, think and get excited. Life need never be dull for any of us. Take another example. While sitting on your table, have you ever wondered about the wood that was used to make it? Have you thought about the life of the tree? A small seed grew into a gigantic tree.
How exciting. What of the tar on the road? It comes from deep inside the earth, goes to refineries and is laid on the roads.
How deep must the oil well have been? How did they locate the oil and what will happen after we finish all the oil?

The world is full of objects that can make us think and wonder. It is our attitude that makes our life. If we adopt a child-like attitude towards things, we will bring joy back in life. I am not asking you to give up your work and enjoy. But find time during the day to look at things and wonder. Bring joy back in your life. You can begin right now. Look at your screen. What happens to the text after you shut down your computers? Where do they all go, when you close the browser? Isn’t life full of excitement? Live it.

The majority of mutual funds don’t make much money and 90% can’t even beat the index.

If you can compound 10% annually consistently you’re doing well, but this is hardly worth it when you take into account inflation.

Here we are going to look at mutual fund alternatives for big long term capital growth that can make you wealthy over the longer term.

Mutual funds performance

There are many alternatives to mutual funds, however lets first look at why the bulk cant make money and your chances of success are so slim.

1. Mutual funds don’t have to report an average growth across all the funds they manage so they simply pick the best and when that fails go for another one and so on.

2. They make dealing fees and this creates a conflict of interest between their income and client profits

3. Bad funds simply get merged in to good ones and when the merged one does badly they merge again

4. They fool clients by telling them to look at the longer term and many investors hang on as this is the perceived wisdom but most investors never make much money

There are more reasons but the above are enough!

The only thing that matters in an investment is performance and that is why if you want to make big capital gains you need to look at alternatives to mutual fund investments.

What performance should you aim at?

A good level to aim at is about 20 - 30% compounded regularly and there are asset managers achieving this for clients in leveraged investments such as:

FOREX, futures, options and spread betting.

Keeping the risk manageable

Many investors here the word leverage and immediately think “to risky”, but leverage is a powerful tool in the right hands and the following equation needs to be kept in mind:

Market vehicle traded + Management skills = Risk

It is not the market traded that limits or creates risk, it’s the managers.

It’s a bit like a high performance racing car:

In the hands of a novice the danger is high but in the hands of a formula one racing driver risk is reduced and it’s the same in trading.

Picking the manger that’s right for you

Here is a checklist on how to pick the right manager when looking at mutual fund alternative investments:

1. Look for target growth of 30% per annum and drawdowns under 20% and lasting no more than a year.

2. Look for track records of 3 to 5 years.

3. Make sure the track record presented is representative of ALL funds under management.

4. Look for managers who are prepared to earn money from performance fees only, and don’t earn dealing fees - This wont guarantee profits of course, but shows the confidence of the manager.

Mutual fund investment alternatives for better growth

The fact is despite the huge adverting done by mutual companies they perform badly as a group today, you don’t have to accept sub standard performance. There are plenty of innovative managers out there, who can and do deliver.

They are also prepared to demonstrate confidence in their skills by being paid on performance only.

Mutual fund alternative investments are out there, take some time to look for some and you will be glad you did!

Organic skin care products are the safest, most natural way to keep your skin beautiful. The Food and Drug Administration is the group which makes sure that nothing dangerous goes into products such as food and medications. Unfortunately, skin care products and cosmetics are not required to file with the Food and Drug Administration. This is not good for those who really care about what goes into their skin. People do not know it but synthetic dyes, artificial colors, artificial scents, synthetic detergents, and many other unhealthy ingredients go into the products that they put on their face, in their hair, and on their bodies.

The best thing that a person can do is use organic beauty products. These are beauty products which are made from all natural products. Skin lotions, perfumes, make up, and even shampoos can all be made from all natural products. These organic beauty care companies use herbs, fruits, nuts, flowers, and natural oils to make these products that work great and are safe. These products do not contain any toxins or carcinogens because they are all natural. Because no product is required to register with the Food and Drug Administration, we have no idea of what could be in them.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get rid of that excess fat on your stomach or tighten up those hips and thighs? How many times have you tried diet and exercise to target your trouble spots only to see slow or no progress? How many people do you know that have been down that same path, probably multiple times?

Having worked with hundreds of individuals, mainly women, the two things that I found with almost every client was that they ALL had specific areas of their body that they really wanted to change.

For some it was the back of their arms and for others it was their rear end. And the second thing is nearly all of those people also felt it was impossible to achieve their goals. Oh, I forgot to mention, there was a third similarity among all those individuals…SHOCK! Shock when I told them not only could they flatten their stomachs, lose their love handles, thin out their thighs, and get rid of the flab on the back of their arms, but they would do it with just 15 minutes of exercise just three times a week!

You are probably finding that you are just like the people I’m talking about. People are constantly looking for the quick fix to get rid of their problem/trouble spots and often never find out there is a “secret” method that does work, and not only does this secret method work, but it’s EXTREMELY effective!

So by now you’re probably wondering what this secret is, right? The “secret” method for eliminating those trouble spots is a technique I like to call “BLASTING”. Before I tell you what it is and how it works, it’s important that you understand a few basic principles of how the human body responds to exercise.

The reason most diet and fitness programs fail to deliver the desired result is simple; they aren’t progressive! Part of the blame can be put on the so-called “experts”. Have you ever heard or read anywhere that exercise needs to be progressive? If so, you are one of the few. And even still, the rare few out there often fail to emphasize the importance of it and often don’t explain it in a way that is simple and easy to understand.

So let me give you my explanation and show you why it’s the most important factor when it comes to exercise, especially when you’re really trying to make big changes in those trouble spots.

Progressive exercise means forcing your body to work a little bit harder each time. That doesn’t mean you have to build up to doing 60 minutes of aerobics like many people do, nor does it mean you should try to keep piling on the weight on the strength training exercises.

You just need to challenge the body with a stress that is strong enough to force the body to make improvements. You can do this in so many ways but here are just a few:

For strength training

• Increase resistance

• Perform more reps

• Move the weight slower

• Add an additional set

• Use static holds

• Change the exercises

For cardiovascular exercise:

• Go faster

• Increase workout time

• Incorporate intervals

• Use an incline (if possible)

• Cross-train (change activity)

If you are unfamiliar with some of the techniques I mentioned above please visit the FREE Resources page of my website http://www.achieve-fitness.com . Again those are just a few of the hundreds of ways to keep your workouts progressive.

Let’s say that you are really trying to tighten and tone your hips and thighs. Rather than waste your time on the inner/outer thigh machine week after week, you should incorporate some of the techniques I described above and use with caution my BLASTING technique which I’ll cover now.

Just as it sounds you are trying to really shock the muscles into making large improvements in a short period of time. Normally you would strength train a muscle group once or twice a week at a moderate to hard intensity level. When you are trying to BLAST an area you train it more often, perform more sets and reps, and with higher intensity.

Here’s a sample strength training program that uses multiple techniques combined over a 5 week period for a BLASTING effect on the hips and thighs:

Workout A

• Leg curl

• Leg extension

• Glute machine / raise

Workout B

• Leg press (wide stance)

• Hamstring bridge

• Wall sit

Workout C

• Stationary lunge

• Leg curl (no rest to next exercise)

• Squat

If you apply just some of the techniques I talked about you will be sure to see some noticeable if not dramatic changes. Just remember, work hard and smart!

Have you ever suffered from a horrible headache when you thought the best remedy might be for someone to bash you over the head, or to pull your hair out? Then you might have some experience with alternative medicine!

In all seriousness, alternative medicine is not about hurting yourself, but involves investigating other potential methods to treat an ailment besides synthetic drugs. A good purpose for alternative medicine is to avoid developing a dependence on drugs of any type, which can supersede any medicinal or curing effects they might have. Searching for different ways of dealing with your physical or emotional issues or conditions can end up being better for you in the long run.

A great deal of alternative medicine treatments come from ancient medicinal knowledge and insight. Many different types of remedies used by different cultures through the years, including the use of needles for pain relief, herbs for medicinal treatments, or even massage therapy, are considered a form of medicine by the respective users because they work to some degree. However, many alternative treatments are unknown to the general public, as they are not in conformity with the mass marketed treatments and pharmaceuticals.

The definition of alternative medicine

There is really no one ultimate definition of alternative medicine. There are so many various methods and treatments that have been and continue to be investigated and promoted that it is hard to firmly define it.

Some of these alternative names to alternative medicine include holistic medicine, natural medicine, integrated medicine, and complementary medicine. They are all variations of the same idea, which is natural and alternative medicine. The design of alternative medicine is to ensure that all parts of a person’s life and being are well and strong.

The point of view of the alternative medicine collective

A standard of those who advocate alternative medicine is that health isn’t only the absence of illness or disease. Alternative medicine works to ensure that one’s purpose in life is sustained, because a person without a purpose is not able to achieve his fullest potential. There needs to be inspiration and motivation to allow life to be lived to its fullest.

It is thought that illness might not be the end of one’s world. Infection is not the only cause of sickness. The mind has the power to change one’s personality completely. Take the great warrior king Asoka, for example. He was so stirred by the death and devastation brought about by the Kalinga war that he became a Buddhist reformer. In this respect, illness has the capacity to bring about change, to make us better human beings. For that reason, alternative medicine strives to consider not only the physical health of a person, but also his personality and emotions in treating ailments and bringing about total well-being.

Sometimes, when you aren’t feeling that great, it might be better to relax by listening to calming music, taking a walk, or just thinking about life, rather than taking a pill to treat something momentarily. Discovering your purpose will give you a feeling of strength and the realization that life is worth living!

Choosing the right online nursing program can be crucial to your
success as a nurse. Not only because of the qualifications that
are necessary, but also the number of hours that you must spend
in study to obtain a degree from the program. There are several
viable options when it comes to choosing an online nursing
program and all of them offer many perks that will be of
interest to the new student. It is no secret that more and more
people are turning to the online programs because of the
flexible schedules and lower costs as compared to the tuition
that is required by standard nursing schools. You should check
out several programs before deciding on which one you will go
with to ensure that you have made the right decision.

One of the things to consider when choosing an online nursing
program is the cost. Even though the rates are dramatically
lower than those for the standard schools, they can still be
quite costly. Any reputable school will be up-front with new
students about all of the costs that are associated with the
program. You will need to consider the fact that an internet
connection is required and access to a computer is mandatory for
all of the programs that offer such courses. Then there is the
subject of materials that may be needed for the program. Even
though the program may be operated online, they normally require
books to be purchased as well as other supplies. Along with
this, there may be software programs that will need to be
purchased and other computer accessories that program needs to
succeed.

Next you should consider the amount of time that will be
required to complete the course. Even though it is online,
students are still required to attend classes and spend a
certain number of hours in class each week to be proficient in
the aspects of the course. Each program has a different number
of hours required and the days that the courses are offered vary
as well. The programs do offer flexibility but there is some
give and take required from both parties involved in the
program. If you do not feel that you have sufficient time to
dedicate to the program then you should look else where to
another that is perhaps more flexible in nature.

You need to also consider the type of degree that is earned
through the program that you are planning on taking. There are
several levels of degrees that can be earned through these
programs and the different levels offer different opportunities
in the work force. Just a basic degree in nursing as offered by
some schools does not go very far in the work place. A more
specialized and advanced degree will open up a whole new world
of opportunities for a rewarding career in nursing.

You should keep in mind that no matter which online nursing
school you choose you will still be required to take part in
clinicals. This part of the course will require that you
transfer to a land campus before completing the degree.

Whichever program you choose should be a perfect fit for you in
every aspect. If it is not comfortable than it will most likely
not be successful.

When you want your brand new site to be indexed into major search engines, you usually go to their free submit page and submit your website, correct? Seems like the right thing to do, right?

Well, many people fail to realize that not submitting your site is usually better than actually submitting it.

Let, me explain.

All the search engines, or the MAJOR ones, for our discussion here have what are called webcrawlers. Now, webcrawlers are little programs that go out onto the web and search or “crawl” around looking for websites that are not already indexed into their databases.

Google search engine is a well-known engine that does this, its webcrawler “GOOGLEBOT” crawls the web looking for “non-existent” sites that are not in their index(database). To see evidence of this, look at your stats for your website and see if Googlebot has crawled your site lately, chances are it has.

– Start SideNote –
My personal experience indicates that Google actually prefers this method, crawling and indexing, rather than using their Free Submit page.
– End SideNote –

Basically if you wanna get your site indexed into Google and the Major search engines, simply post it and wait,… I realize this seems like a weird or bad idea, but take my word for it,… IT WORKS.

Another idea is that, if you already have a site that is indexed already in Google, simply put a small link to your new site toward the top of the page thats already indexed and when Google crawls your already indexed site it will automatically index your new site, since it has yet to be indexed. Easy huh?

A site map can do the same thing. In order to get all your webpages for your new site indexed simply link your sitemap of your new site as above, and when it crawls your existing site, it will index all the pages of your new site, via your sitemap.

Two points to always note: Link all your important pages into a sitemap, important pages first, and link to another already existent site, and let the major engines find your pages on their own, via webcrawling.

NOTE: The above works for FREE search engines that have crawlers, Google for example. See my previous article I wrote last week on PPC and PPI.
