SEX, Self Esteem, and ME!

Posted by admin On March - 13 - 2009

I have touched on so many emotions in the past and I am still feeling the need to share yet another. I have spoken on women’s issues mainly, yet trying to keep men on a fair plain, mainly due to the facts and studies that more women experience self-esteem issues and jealousy monsters than men. Most of our emotions are gender friendly, except of course the ever so dreaded PMS and Menopause thingy. Although I have heard in passing that men do go through Menopause in a similar way. I will leave that for another article! (wink) If you have noticed throughout my blogs, that I have tried to remind everyone that I am speaking of both genders, even if I keep saying women. This is after all, a take off from my women’s self-esteem website.

I know you are all wondering, hmmm, “What is this article going to be about?”

Well.. it is going to be about “SEX”! Now I know I have your attention!

Is it not strange how anything that has the word, “SEX” in it, catches every ones eyes. Oh, do not even say, “Not me”. It is a three letter word that has more punch than Mohhamad Ally`s fist. No offence meant there. On a more serious note, SEX is definitely a key in ones well being, or higher self esteem. When we feel sexy, we can jump the highest wall and climb the tallest mountain. Yes, I am speaking to adults on this one. After all, it is when we reach adulthood that life becomes so complicated, and all the insecurities begin to control ones mind. We also find”SEX”. It is so a part of what makes a very stable beginning to a relationship, which one hopes flows into a marriage partnership. Again, please do not say, “I never had premarital SEX”. My parents had it, so I know everyone else in the world did too. Okay, I will maybe let 10 people get away with it. I am trying to incorporate self-esteem with relationships because a lot of what goes on between a man and a woman will trigger off ones deep inner emotions such as self esteem.

I have asked a few people of both genders, this question: “Why do people eventually forget what they have at home?” Is it because one or both have stopped trying to impress the other? Hmmm. Why would one stop trying to look good for their mate? Do you want your mate to fantasize of someone else in order to have SEX? (harsh, I know, but it is a truth) Do you talk to you mate in bed? Why not? After and during SEX, is the best time to talk to each other. Life is sweet after SEX and no one wants to get off the “Good feeling plateau”. The answers I received were shrugged shoulders to start with, which is really sad. It was more like, “DUH”. One man actually was excited to give his answer, “Damn, I agree”. That was about it. Again I say, “Sad”! Men and Women need to learn how to talk. I mean talk about their true grit feelings. Example: “Baby, am I sexy enough for you, I mean is there anything I can do to make you want me more?” Or if you desires something different from yours partner in SEX, you should be able to ask it without the fear of hurting the others feelings. Or having to calm them down from an, “Oh, so you don’t like me the way I am?”!!! We all fall into a first impulse scenario, especially if we have even the slightest insecurity. SEX is suppose to be fun and open and raw. Women, listen to me now, your man loves your body, he really does. SEX is non judgemental. That’s what I like about it. Passion through SEX is the most natural emotion that we have been blessed with. Why? It is because it is involving true emotion, there is no room for worry or before thoughts, which I call fabricated emotions. Once we have turned the wheels of the SEX engine, we are good to go. It is pure and clearly set.

Our bodies become our maps to nothing but good feelings and becoming one with our partner. Our partner is no more thinking of a movie he saw, or the perfect person that crossed their paths, than they are about work the next day. It is just the two of you, it is purely sweet SEX. We allow ourselves through our weaknesses to put up walls that keep us from opening our self to our partner. We know we crave them to become one with us, to inhale their oh so sweet body smells, and to feel the sexual adrenaline flow through our veins. Is that not enough to break down the walls of worry and insecurities? Many partners do not even know whats going on when their partners are in this stage of detachment. They will be tempted to take it as a rejection. We all know that once we feel rejected, we tend to not ask questions, thus closing the doors. SEX is totally the last thing on your mind when you feel that, resulting in both parties now setting up walls. What I am saying here is that it is soooo important to communicate with your partner. If you do not feel sexy or you just think maybe you smell bad, (shush), you are committed to tell them. When one knows that the other is not into SEX because they are feeling low about themselves, the norm will actually try very hard to break down those damn insecurity walls. That’s where TRUST and SEX are joined. With out those two friends, there is noooo orgasms. I know everyone luvz those. To get orgasms you must engage in SEX. There is no need for words, or I dids, or I did not`s. It is just REAL FEELINGS between two people. Can you actually say after SEX with your partner, that you feel low or insecure? NOPE!..well HELLO then, maybe it is time to look at SEX as not just a perk in a relationship. Time to look at SEX as an answer to bringing your lows to highs. People pay good money for therapists, and ruin their bodies taking drugs to get those feelings. WHY, when we have the cure right in front of us? And with a willing partner at your feet to do your bidding? Need I say more? It’s probably the first thing one shuts down when they feel their self esteem taking the wrong turn. Well then in that case, you need to address it immediately and grab your partner and just have SEX. Don`t laugh, I am serious. Tease each other, make each other laugh. It will take one second of body play to get the veins filled with hot blood, that triggers off your sexual appetite, then it is the big “O” from there! Oh and guess what, no more low self esteem feelings. WOOT!!!

One`s self-esteem rises and falls like waves!

Once it hits bottom it is time for emotional housecleaning
and much needed SEX!

How Your Surroundings Affect Your Life

Posted by admin On March - 11 - 2009

To live a balanced lifestyle, you need to understand that your life is not only a reflection of your environment but also a response to it. Just like a mirror, what you do in the outside will affect what happens to you in the inside. And, just like the Law of Cause and Effect that you learned in physics, what you do will come back to you with the advantage that the repercussions of your acts will come back to you multiplied. Think of a boomerang. You throw it far away, it gathers energy and comes right back to you.

There are many examples of this fact, the more visible one being that if you eat healthy it shows in your skin, your hair, and your nails. They shine and exude life. On the contrary, if you drink too much soda and eat junk your skin breaks out, your nails break, your hair falls.

Whatever you eat will have its consequences not only on your skin but to your insides as well: your digestive system suffers, your liver poisons your blood, you arteries clog up, your whole system complains; chances are you may get sick, really sick.

Just like you do to Mother Earth, you must do to yourself. As a conscious person, you eat well, mostly organic; you recycle; your reuse your stuff; you donate that which you don’t need any more; you originate less garbage; you compost your discarded food; you respect the animals; you consume less; you lead a simpler and slower life; you use environment friendly cleaning products; you have a fuel-efficient automobile, and so on. In other words, you do your part as best as you can.

So what can you do for your immediate environment? Take a look at your life: are all its areas working as they should be? Like an engine, if one is not functioning properly, all others will suffer. So pay attention to your surroundings.

Regarding your living arrangements and your affairs, is your office clean of clutter or do you have paper all over the place: tables, chairs, desks, floors? Can you walk to your desk or do you have to jump clusters of papers? Is your correspondence in order and your bills paid? Is your sink filled with dirty dishes? Is your fridge clean? Do you clean after your pets or does your house smell of your pets’ urine? What covers your walls, pleasant pictures or nasty posters? Are your plants dying for lack of water?

Are your walls clean or do they need painting? Do you have any junk in your yard? How is your car? Cleaned outside and inside or do you have papers, old food, and empty water bottles all over the place? Is your house well ventilated and brightened by sunlight? Do you sleep with clean sheets? Do you spend your hours watching garbage on TV or doing something that is really good for your mind?

Regarding your appearance and your body, are your clothes clean and mended or are they missing buttons and have holes in them? How about your underwear? Do you fit your clothes? Do they reflect who you are? Are your shoes shining or do you have mud all over them? Are you fit to be seen in public, meaning, dressed appropriately? Do you wear caps when you go to the theatre? Do you wear sweats when you go to church? Do you chew gum outside of your home or car? Are you teeth cleaned and properly cared for? Do your gums bleed? Do you floss? Do you shower and groom yourself so you are a pleasant sight? Do you eat well?

And the list goes on and on. Once you realize how important it is to live well and do so accordingly, you will notice that many other areas of your life will come into place: you may find a better job, get a better salary, have fabulous friends and a perfect loving relationship, shed the pounds that were clinging to your body, and so on and so forth.

A balanced lifestyle greatly depends on your surroundings because they will bring about the delicate balance of your inner environment and consequently, your life.

20 Powerful Tips For Advancing Your Career

Posted by admin On March - 1 - 2009

You don’t want to stay in your current position forever… you want to move up! Here are 20 ways to boost your chances of getting that nice promotion:

 

1.   Do more than is expected of you. Prove that you’re capable of handing more responsibility. Volunteer for special assignments.

 

 

2.   Take initiative and do what needs to be done, before being asked.

 

 

3.   Learn the skills you’ll need to advance. Take advantage of on-the-job training, but don’t rely exclusively on that. Consider taking (and paying for) skill-enhancing courses on your own.

 

 

4.   Be loyal to your boss, your team, and your company. (Yes, you can be loyal without being a “brown-noser.”)

 

 

5.   Be patient and don’t expect to be promoted without demonstrating your abilities over time.

 

 

6.   View the big picture and understand your company’s mission. Find ways to help them accomplish it.

 

 

7.   Save money for your company by identifying ways to boost revenues, reduce expenses, or streamline processes.

 

 

8.   Offer solutions to the problems you must take to your boss.

 

 

9.   Show respect to everyone — superiors, peers, subordinates, and especially customers.

 

 

10.   Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t know.” If you don’t know something, say so; don’t try to fake it. Find the answers you need.

 

 

11.   Take responsibility for your actions. If you’re at fault, admit it and take the blame. If you’re wrong, apologize.

 

 

12.   Never gossip. Gossip can hurt the careers of two people: the person being talked about, and the person doing the talking.

 

 

13.   Never say “That’s not my job.” Don’t think you are above anything. Pitch in and set a good example, especially if the job is one that nobody else wants to do. Your willingness to do so will be noticed and appreciated!

 

 

14.   Share the credit. People who share credit with others make a much better impression than those who take all the credit themselves.

 

 

15.   Ask for help when you need it. Don’t let a difficult task get out of hand. When you need help, ask for it — before things get worse.

 

 

16.   Keep your dislike to yourself. If you don’t like someone, don’t let it show. Never burn bridges or offend others as you move ahead in your career.

 

 

17.   Don’t hold grudges. Life isn’t always fair. If you were passed over for promotion, didn’t get the project you wanted, etc., let it go. Be gracious and diplomatic, focus on the future and move on. Harboring grudges won’t advance your career.

 

 

18.   Be humble. When you’re right, don’t gloat about it. Never say “I told you so!”

 

 

19.   Make others feel important. Compliment others, emphasize their strengths and contributions, and help them whenever you can. They will enthusiastically help you in return.

 

 

20.   Join associations and professional organizations related to your career. In addition to helping you learn more about your industry, this can provide invaluable networking opportunities. (Which might come in handy if your employer isn’t promoting!)
