Do You Know How to Stay Focused During Trauma
Trauma affects us. Period. How it affects us can be either a negative or positive experience. But, turning a negative into a positive is often easier said than done, isn't it?
Sometimes we do not realize we have "been here before" until it's over. Pain works that way. Pain is just that - PAIN. When we are in the middle of it, it feels like a new experience. Yet, it rarely is.
There are many types of pain that we experience in life. There are times when we are blindsided and experience pain on a level we had not realized we were capable of handling. When we look back at those experiences we often wonder how we made it through -- but we did. And we are stronger for it.
Pain takes on many forms in your life. Rejection, loss, physical or emotional trauma, abuse, divorce, the list goes on.

4 Funny Tips on How to Create an Awesome Profile Picture
How important is your profile picture? There are many people who post profile pictures that are not pictures of themselves at all. You may choose to do this for various reasons. Some people may be more interested in sharing their brand instead of a photo of themselves. Some may want to post a family picture (which tells a story about who they are). Some may post a picture of their furry friend.
What does someone see when they look at your profile picture? No matter how often we may say that we don't judge a book by the cover, it is human nature to do just that.

4 Ways to Live Longer and Happier
Almost everyone wants to live longer and we spend a lot of money trying to find the secrets to living a longer life. We buy potions, pills, creams, and exercise equipment - all in an effort to maintain or regain/retain our youth. We spend a great deal of our hard-earned money to look younger. Some of it works, but most of it does not.

Do These Top 10 Worst Pet Peeves Make You Angry?
Pet Peeves. We all have them. They make us go GRRRRRR.
What is the difference between things we hate and pet peeves? An example: I hate to see people smoking in a car with a dog inside. I want to run over and smash their windows. It is now against the law to smoke with children in the car but not animals. Don't they have rights too?
A peeve leans more toward an annoyance experienced by many people.
We all have things in our lives that drive us nuts but we don't always want to admit it -- it sounds like we are whining.
It is difficult to put them in order of most annoying to least as pet peeves are usually equally annoying!

Do People Say Nice Things and Really Mean Them?
How do you feel about people who lie to you? I don't mean the big lies -- just those tiny ones that don't really seem to matter. Or do they? Saying things we really do not mean is often more of a habit than an intention to hurt someone.
"I'll be in touch." If I tell someone I am going to stay in contact with them, I make a note of it right then and there. Sometimes it means sending them a quick email to see when we can get together or to see what's new in their lives. Making a friendly gesture is only the first step. Keeping in touch is quite another.
I have heard those words so often and then wonder why they never call. Did they forget? Do they not care? It reminds me of the phrase from the second (or first) date "I'll call you." You know they don't have the slightest intention of calling so WHY waste breath by saying they will? Is it to appease the listener at the moment? It is just as easy to say "Goodbye" as it is to say you will be in touch.

How Do You Remember Things You Need To Do?
How often do you wonder if you locked the front door? Or turned down the heat? Or closed the garage door?
If I got a nickel for every time I went back to check if I had done something, I would be a rich woman. I am not sure if it is an "aging" symptom because I believe I have always done this. And my daughter does the same thing.Did I unplug the curling iron? Did I remember my keys? Did I turn off the coffee pot?
