How To Say No Without Feeling Guilty |
AllTheFunny "Do you find it difficult to say no? Do you have a fear of displeasing others? Do you have trouble expressing your true feelings?
You’re not alone. If you struggle with some of these issues too, it may be helpful for you to examine your personal boundaries and determine where you can strengthen them. Simply put, personal boundaries are the limits you place between yourself and others. The stronger your boundaries, the more free you feel to express yourself.
We all have certain relationships and situations where our boundaries are stronger and certain relationships and situations where our boundaries need work. Frequently, the closer we are to someone (i.e. - romantic partners, children and parents), the harder it is to maintain strong boundaries.
Below are a few signs of weak boundaries: "

How to Wake Up Without an Alarm Clock |
 " Fingernails screeching down a blackboard, the shrill tones of the Emergency Alert System, Carrot Top: few things are as obnoxious as an alarm clock. Human beings have survived for most of our history without these confounded noisemakers—-why would you need one now? The answer, of course, is that everyone else has one, and it would look bad if you were the only one wandering into the office two hours late. But like momma said, just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t mean you should. Waking up naturally is much easier on you, as your body will slowly adjust from deep sleep to a calm awakening. Here's how to separate yourself from the alarm clock without quitting your job or dropping out of school. "

All-Day Vitality: How to Fight Fatigue Morning, Noon, and Night |
 " You’re so predictable. Every day, you run out of steam, lose juice, or otherwise hit the wall at nearly the exact same times. And it happens to everyone. In fact, it’s like clockwork, which actually makes sense, because your body clock is part of the problem — when your internal chronometer is out of whack, you feel wiped out.
But if you want to have the energy to live, you must take up the arms required to do battle. You must make a choice and be proactive in achieving higher energy levels.
Here are twelve strategies to help you wake up refreshed and recharged, remain alert throughout the day, and wind down just in time for a good night’s sleep. Consider your energy crisis solved.
1. Brighten your morning.
Wake up at the same time, and bathe yourself in sunlight. It enables your circadian rhythms, which are governed by your body’s “master clock” in the hypothalamus gland, to stay in sync with the 24-hour day. "

Chilli compound fires painkiller |

This might in theory mean a woman in labour could have an epidural without losing the ability to move her legs, or the sensation of her baby being born.
Conventional local anaesthetics affect all nerve cells.
But the researchers Harvard team, writing in Nature, said that with capsaicin, the chilli chemical, they can target just pain receptors. "

Five Trends That Will Transform Society |
 " EAuthor Richard Watson examines emerging patterns and developments and society, politics, science and technology, media and entertainment, and other industries in his book Future Files: A History of the Next 50 Years -- and makes educated, and witty speculations as to where they might take us.
Globalization - Globalization used to mean Americanization, but these days it means exposure to people, products, and ideas from everywhere. Globalization impacts on the sourcing of products and services, and on market-expansion opportunities. It also means connectedness and mobility. Everything from countries and computers to gadgets and global banking will be hyper-linked together. In the future, this trend will accelerate even faster, thanks to devices such as GPS, RFIDs, sensor motes, and smart dust (all essentially tiny wireless transmitters and/or receivers of some kind). Hence privacy will all but disappear, but transparency and risk may increase. "

Men sleep better beside mate; women worse |
 " Rest was more fragmented for females in shared bed, study found
By Linda Carroll, MSNBC contributor
Lori Taylor would love to sleep next to her husband — if his snoring and thrashing weren’t guaranteed to keep her awake all night.
Still, the 48-year-old New York City teacher has mixed feelings about choosing to sleep in separate beds.
“There’s something nice about the warmth of a human body next to you, even if you’re not sleeping as well,” says Taylor, who has slept apart from her husband off and on for the last five of her 11-year marriage. “When you’re in bed together you’re in a little private space on your own time. "

Top 5 Things Every Extrovert Should Know About Introverts |
 " First off, there are those who are reading this who might not know which camp they fall into, the extrovert or the introvert. Chances are, the majority of those reading this will know, but for those who don’t, let’s define those two terms here very broadly.
Extroverts tend to be those who are more energized when around other people. They are the ones who will reach for the cell phone when alone for more than a minute, the ones who love to go out every weekend, the ones who love to chit chat, mingle, and socialize.
Introverts tend to be those who are more energized when alone with themselves. They are the ones who have to be dragged to parties, who are the first ones ready to leave after a short period of time, and who generally enjoy solitary activities such as reading, writing, and daydreaming. "

Cozier, Calmer, Greener Office |
 " 1. Energy Efficiency: Sure, sure, sure, your boss is paying the utility bill, so why worry about energy efficiency? Because lower usage at work reduces demand & prices grid-wide, reducing your bill at home. To start,
* Change your computer settings so it sleeps when left alone for 3 minutes so it burns less electricity when you're not using it. Always turn off the monitor when you leave the room. And of course, turn off your computer (not just put it to sleep) when you go home for the day.
* Turn off those pesky overhead lights and bring in a lamp from home. A fluorescent bulb in that lamp will reduce electricity usage and create a focused, calm atmosphere.
* If you have a window, lower the blinds and turn them so they are slightly open. "

Cheat on the Need to Sleep? |
 " Quality not quantity. No matter how much your mother tells you that you need eight hours of sleep, if you're not tired and you can't truly relax, your sleep time will be worthless.
Robin Lloyd of Live Science reports that at the 2006 National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference, experts agreed, according psychiatry professor Daniel Kripke of the University of California, San Diego on the following recommendations for obtaining optimum sleep value:
* Do not take sleeping pills. This includes over-the-counter pills and melatonin.
* Don't go to bed until you're sleepy. If you have trouble sleeping, try going to bed later or getting up earlier.
* Get up at the same time every morning, even after a bad night's sleep. The next night, you'll be sleepy at bedtime.
* If you wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep, get out of bed and return only when you are sleepy. "

Green Tea Proven to Detoxify the Human Body |
 " Green tea prevents cancer, according to researchers from the University of Arizona who state that green tea consumption has been associated with decreased risk of certain types of cancers in humans. Chow et al set out to determine the biochemical mechanisms responsible for the cancer-preventive effect of green tea in a clinical study, and more specifically, to determine the effect of repeated green tea polyphenol administration on a major group of detoxification enzymes known as glutathione S-transferases (GST).
A group of 42 healthy volunteers underwent 4 weeks of green tea polyphenol intervention. A standardized Polyphenon E preparation was taken each day at a dose that contains 800 mg epigallocatechin gallate. The GST activity in blood lymphocytes from was enhanced, providing beneficial detoxifying enzymes to the subjects. Further, the enhancement was statistically significant. "
