However, it will be Meadowlark “The Man” that I was fortunate to get to know later […]

Beyond Procrastination

By dave | | 0 Comments

Procrastination   has met its match: A  book  that  offers  realistic  and  practical  solutions  to procrastination  relying  on  tested  behavioral  tools  rather  than shaming. Twenty  percent  of  Americans  are  chronic  “procrastinators”  and  a  study among  college  students  has  found  that  up  to  95%  have  problems  associated with  procrastination.  If  that  isn’t  bad  enough,  research  has  found  that procrastination  can  adversely  affect  heart  health. Beyond  Procrastination:  How  to  Stop  Postponing  your  Life  (FreshLife Coaching),  the  latest  book  by  certified  life  coach  and  sociologist,  Renate Reimann,  PHD,  gets  to  the  root  causes  of  procrastination  by  helping  readers discover  their  triggers  for  delaying.  She  then  lays  out  proven  methods  for dealing  with  those  triggers.  Exercises  and  checklists  personalize  each  reader’s experience.  And  for  those  with  short  attentions  spans,  she  offers  quick  tricks that  can  yield  immediate  results. Throughout  the  book  Dr.  Reimann  encourages  readers  to  let  go  of  any  guilt they  may  feel  because  they  sometimes  procrastinate.  Feeling ashamed  only hastens  the  downward  postponement  spiral.  For  similar  reasons,  she  doesn’t believe  that  labels  like  “procrastinator”  are  helpful  or  accurate.  When  thinking of  oneself  as  a  procrastinator,  the  focus  is  on  one’s  personality  rather  than  the concrete  delay  issues  which  makes  it  harder  to  overcome  procrastination. In  addition  to  much  discussed  practical  reasons  for  procrastination  such  as  time management  and  organization,  and  hot  button  psychological  causes  for postponement  such  as  fear  and  anger,  Dr.  Reimann  also  dives  into  socio­- cultural  explanations  of  why  we  procrastinate  more  than  ever.  Expectations  of always  being  up  to  date,  endlessly  competing  at  home  and  abroad  and  working during  and  after  hours,  take  their  toll.  Many  of  us  use  procrastination  to  escape that  pressure.  Ironically,  devices  like  smartphones  that  add  to  our  sense  of feeling  overwhelmed,  are  also  the  ones  that  constantly  invite  us  to procrastinate,  checking  social  media  sites,  surfing  the  web  and  playing  games. Readers  will  also  learn  how  to: • Reclaim  their  time • Recognize  when  they  get  stuck • Use  enjoyable  activities  to  break  procrastination • Implement  sustainable  behaviors  that  eliminate  delays Beyond  Procrastination  is  an  excellent  tool  for  all  ages  that  nurtures  while  it guides  readers  toward  overcoming  delays  and  achieving  their  goals. www.freshlifecoaching.com

Homosexuals and Reparative Therapy

By dave | | 0 Comments

“The Supreme Court showed themselves to be justices of supreme foolishness with the permanent decision that homosexual marriage is a constitutional right. They ruled this affirmation of Gay marriage without any proof whatsoever that homosexuality is inborn. They have simply assumed that homosexuality is a productive variant of sexuality.
