Breaking Up Its Not Over

Dealing With The Death Of Your Boyfriend

July 03rd, 2009

Are you trying to cope with the death of your boyfriend or do you know someone who is? Well this is a painful situation to be in. It takes a lot of self encouragement and some encouragement words from your friends and loved ones.

There are certain things feeling that you go through when trying to heal or when dealing with the death of a loved one. Allow me to go through a few of these – hopefully you will realise that you are not alone and you are on your way to healing.

Disbelief

Disbelief is the first feeling that comes when you are told about some bad news especially the loss of someone you love. This is especially true when you have just been talking to your boyfriend a few moments ago. This initial feeling may last for a couple of hours and sometimes days. In most occasions it lasts up to the day of the funeral.

Shock

In most cases shock is triggered by seeing the person actually dead. In most cases this happens at the funeral after reality strikes. Being shocked is an inevitable feeling after reality strikes. Shock is temporary, in no time the feeling goes away.

Anger

This feeling can be directed at any one and everyone including yourself and the people who were meant to “protect” your boyfriend. If you do not properly manage anger, it can get really destructive. You need to watch what you say and think during the time. Look into the internet for some daily words of encouragement to help you cope.

Pain

Pain is tormenting and longer lasting. It calls for some consistent exposure to words of encouragement. Pain is deadly. I mean it just sticks in there and does not seem to ever end. No matter how it feels, it goes away eventually. I don’t mean to say you forget what happened but you simply are able to live without feeling bad all the time.

When you are in pain you may feel helpless and even regret some doing or not doing something. You may feel nothing will ever take away the pain or regret not telling your boyfriend certain things.

Are You The Caregiver In The Sandwich Generation

July 03rd, 2009

For so many people referred to as the baby boom generation, The Sandwich Generation has become all too real.  We are in the midst of raising children.  Plenty of us are dealing with hormonal teenagers that are giving us all the gray hair we never asked for and still many of us are finding pleasure in the hectic world of raising our younger kids.

Think of your fast-paced world as a Mom or Dad and add to that the increasing needs of your own parents.  Not only do your children, together with all of their pursuits and managing your household, need you; now so do your parents.  If this sounds like you then you are one of The Sandwich Generation. 

The phrase “Sandwich Generation” has been coined to describe those of us that are trying to function between looking out for our elderly parents and caring for and supporting our dependent children at the same time.

We must talk about you, the caregiver.  Stress management and mental wellness are crucial in assisting you while you cope with all of the demands that are placed upon you while you make the effort to be the most wonderful parent you can be to your kids, and look out for your aging parents, to the best of your ability.  If you are working this becomes even more necessary and challenging.

Follow a few easy steps to help prevent becoming depressed, uneasy and drained:

  1. Stay connected with your family and friends.  Be sure to have fun, laugh and focus on matters besides your responsibilities and do not give in to feelings of guilt about it because maintaining an emotional balance will help you to be the best caregiver.
  2. Be sure to look after yourself.  There is less chance of burnout or depression if you remain healthy. Eat healthy meals, don’t skimp on rest and be physically active no matter what.
  3. Ensure that you have a support network.  You need friends, relatives and others, such as neighbors, that can step in and assist you.  Be willing to accept assistance.  It’s important to acknowledge that no one can do it all and there are times when things will not be completed in a perfect manner.
  4. Be honest and straight forward with your employer about your needs.  Perhaps there is room for flexibility in your job schedule.
  5. Rely on local resources.  There are probably organizations in your community that are devoted to assisting with the elderly as well as their caregivers.
  6. Realize that you will have times when you cannot escape feeling tired or angry.  These feelings are to be expected.  Make sure you discuss them with individuals that you have confidence in.
  7. Expect to grieve the loss of the relationship, as it has always been, with your parents.  In many cases your parents were always available to support you but now the driving forces have changed and you may find this hard to endure.
  8. Acknowledge that your kids do not always understand the demands that are placed on you and they are simply being kids with their own desires and needs.

OF ABSOLUTE IMPORTANCE: Be your own caregiver – always be kind to yourself and if you are having a hard time doing this then engage the help of a good friend who understands and will serve you a snack and some tea and lend you their ear and a helping hand.

Get Ex Boyfriend Back Without These Mistakes

July 02nd, 2009

When you want to get your ex back, there are some definite things to avoid doing.  Learning what not to do can help you get back with your ex without unnecessary delays.  You can learn more about how to make up after a break up here.

One thing you should definitely not do is try to argue with your mate to take you back. “You don’t understand what really happened, you’re not seeing it my way, you’re just being negative…”

All of these things are a big mistake. Arguing is probably what got you dumped in the first place.  More arguing isn’t going to help bring them back.  It is natural for many of us to try to attack or dominate our mates into taking us back, but it is a hugely bad idea.  It just reinforces why they dumped you.

Do something much more constructive instead.  Try to make them right a little.  Try to make them feel heard and understood.  Be a good listener.  Let them get things off their chest.  This will make a positive impression on them that the break up caused you to change some.

Another huge mistake is to stalk your ex by phone.  This can be leaving ten messages a day on voice mail, or texting them ten times a day.  You can learn more about resolving relationship conflict specfics here.

Doing phone stalking can be frightening for your mate.  You show up as desperate and obsessive, which again can confirm that they made the right choice in dumping you.

Instead, notice that you are obsessing on your ex.  That is normal and natural.  Just keep it to yourself and one close friend.  Tell them how much you miss and can only think about your ex.  Just don’t let your ex see any of those behaviors.

So instead of arguing with your ex to try to convince them to come back to you, learn some relationship intelligence that can get them back in your arms within days, sometimes hours.  You can get a free course on love relationship advice here.

How to Kill 2 Birds With 1 Stone and Make Money Online

July 02nd, 2009

How You Can Make Money Online With Twitter

Twitter has been around for some time now. It has steadily grown into one of the most used social networking websites available today. What most users fail to realize is that Twitter is not just for talking to friends and making new friends. There are users that use Twitter to make money and a lot of it.

You see information is powerful. People all over the internet are searching for information. What’s even more powerful is that many of these people are willing to pay good money for that information, if it solves a problem of theirs, or helps them accomplish something that they would not be able to do without learning the information. Every single day, you most likely do something that could potentially help someone else solve a problem or achieve a goal of theirs, and you need to simply pull out the video camera or audio recorder and document what you are doing. Thus killing 2 birds with 1 stone. This concept can be applied in nearly every industry…
Mechanics, real estate, financial advisors, salesman, retail, restaurants, internet, fun activities you do, etc.

Everyday online shoppers spend up to 670 million + a day, according to USA Today. That is a staggering amount of cash. And it is increasing in volume every day. Customers buy a host of products and services. Nielsen Online tells us that 41% of internet users world wide have bought Books online.

Whether you document how you lost those 5 pounds, or how you fixed that car, or how you sold your house… There are people who are searching to learn how to do that, and more importantly are willing to pay you good money for that particular information. I use a Flip video. Most any video camera can work. Audio recorders are cheap, and most people have microsoft office where you can write an information ebook. (Open Office is a free version of Word). Make sure if someone other than you is helping create the information, (for instance, interviewing your boss on strategic management practices) that you ask their permission to use their image, quotations, info, etc. in an informational product. Most people like the branding aspect of being interviewed as an “expert” in their industry….

Perhaps one of the most important lessons you can learn from the Twitter traffic training courses is the significance of your business plan. The training courses guide you step-by-step in the creation of a business plan that will ultimately be your strategy for earning money through Twitter.

The training courses also include information that will greatly increase your earnings and reduce risks such as commonly made mistakes of Twitter marketers and how you can avoid them, how to spot a mistake in your business plan and quickly remedy it, and how to find the latest trends and how you can capitalize on them. Another important lesson included in the training courses is how you should provide value that your Twitter followers will find useful. You do not want to just create link after link that only a small percentage of your followers will click on. What is even worse is that spamming links will only cause you to lose credibility and you do not want that as a business.
