It's easy to imagine habits like a scotch after dinner, biting your nails or saying, "you know" after every sentence. An event or a time of day triggers us, and we go with the habit. It's easier than exploring new territory - it's merely a thoughtless response to an incoming trigger. But emotions can become habits as well. Distrustful is a habit. Lonely is a habit.

Resist Exercising Your Voice Power…, Larry James
May 29, 2013 by
Positively No Yelling in This House!! That should be a rule you never break! Practice voice modulation; change your voice pitch and avoid crescendos at all cost.

If your partner raises their voice, whether man or woman, back off physically from them, lower your voice to slightly more than a … [Read more...]

He's spent his life proving the axiom that "nice guys finish last." You'd expect this man to develop a bad mindset about relationships. You'd expect him … [Read more...]

Lifting the obstacles is not something that can be tackled half-heartedly. Modern family planning programs were introduced widely in the developed world decades ago. Providing … [Read more...]
