Home Remedies For Dandruff
Dandruff (pityriasis capitis), although extremely common, can still be a very annoying and unpleasant condition.
Dandruff is due to the excessive shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp. The skin itself sheds every twenty-four days. Dandruff can happen at any age but is most commonly found in people between the ages of 12 and 80.
The most common symptom of dandruff is itching and excessive flaking of the scalp. Your scalp can be either excessively dry or oily. severe cases may complain of dandruff scales appearing like lumps or crusts on the scalp. Dandruff is linked to impaired general well being and health, improper diet, constipation and low immune system functioning due to development of toxic conditions or infectious diseases.
Causes of Dandruff:
Some of the most common causes of dandruff include:
>>Poor nutrition
>>Lack of zinc in your diet
>>Fungus (malessezia furfur)
>>Yeast infection (Candida)
>>Use of harmful soaps and shampoos
>>Stress and anxiety
Treatment of Dandruff:
1) Use a medicated shampoo. The medicated shampoo will reduce the speed of the growth of the cells on the scalp, thus lessening the cell replacement and decreasing the amount of dandruff. The shampoo should also have an antiseptic that will help prevent infection of your scalp so as to reduce itchiness.
2) Shampoo more often, up to three times a week using medicated shampoo until the situation is controlled. Then, continue use of the medicated shampoo once every week.
3) Stop using gels, hairsprays and hair-coloring products. If you must use them, do not use them excessively and learn the proper use of such products.
4) Don’t scratch the scalp when it is itchy. This will cause the problem to worsen.
5) If the problem is severe, see your doctor for anti-inflammatory cream for your scalp or anti-dandruff tablets to ingest.
6) Break 2 eggs, scramble and apply on the head. Leaves on the hair for 15 minutes, massage, and wash off with cold water so it won't stick into the hair.
7) Cook 2 beetroots in water, when soften mash in the water and use the beetroot water as a shampoo.
Get into a steamy bath or sauna to treat the dandruff.
9) Apple Apple cider vinegar is known to be very effective as a dandruff remedy. Apply some on your hair when taking a shower.
10) Olive oil is very good for the hair and the scalp. Apply some olive oil on your scalp for 15 minutes and wash off.
11) Add Lime juice can also be used as a remedy for dandruff.
12) Fenugreek seeds are another excellent home remedy for dandruff:
• Take 2 tablespoons of fenugreek seeds and soak overnight in water
• In the morning grind the soft seeds into a fine paste
• Apply this paste all over scalp and leave for half an hour
• A teaspoon of lime juice on the last rinse will work wonders
13) Apply baby oil to the entire head in the evening, wrap your head with a towel and leave on until morning then shampoo. Use the baby oil daily until all dandruff is gone.
Drinking and Anti-depressants? Does it stop the effectivness?
I have been on celexa for about 2 months now and I was feeling great for a while. I started taking it for anxiety although I do suffer from depression as well. Now I am becomming depressed again, but there are circumstances in my life that explains some of it. I can feel myself wanting to become self destructive and I'm trying to fight it off, but it's getting really hard to do. I was doing okay with everything that was going on until I went out a drank the other night, needless to say I was completely smashed and now these feelings are creeping out. I am completely wrapped up in feeling bad about myself. If I have to stop drinking all together I will, I just want to know if thats the root cause first. What can I do to feel better? Any suggestions.
Please let me know your sources or credentials. This is becomming a problem and I need to know whether I should seek more help.
Nope, just the opposite. Makes them twice the effect

Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real. By Author Unknown Find out about Test Anxiety Worksheets
Documented Dangers of Gas Chambers and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Four state and local agencies of North Carolina government have documented hazards of faulty gas chambers and supply cylinders at public animal shelters since 2004. Leaks and malfunctions were recorded by the North Carolina Department of Labor, North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, North Carolina Department of Agriculture, and local fire marshals in Reidsville and Stokes County. The findings of these agencies were obtained through public record requests.
Most gas chambers in our state had reportedly never been formally inspected prior to 2004. Since that time, complaints from thousands of residents to government officials and the media have brought the controversial euthanasia method to the forefront.
One of the most compelling documents is a North Carolina Department of Labor inspection for Sampson County Animal Control in 2004 (1). The inspector's worksheet reads,
"The animal begins to struggle because it cannot breathe...They wait approximately 10 minutes until the animal stops making sounds and then turn on a fan that is supposed to evacuate the CO from the chamber."
Gas monitor readings showed employee overexposure to carbon monoxide, which the officer believed "is occurring when the chamber door is opened to remove the animal." No respiratory protection was provided for employees.
Reidsville Fire Marshal John Harris inspected a gas chamber at Rockingham County Animal Control in 2004, on the property of Reidsville Veterinary Hospital, after repeated attempts to repair gas leaks (2). An inspection from August 2004 recounts:
"Harris checked the chamber finding that the door seals to the chamber were in disrepair and damaged in several locations. Harris also observed where attempts to repair the seals were made with what appeared to be caulking. Also noted that the integral safety systems for monitoring carbon monoxide levels has been DISABLED. Vent pipe from the top portion of the chamber is poorly fitted and sealed with what appears to be adhesive tape. During operation of the euthanasia chamber carbon monoxide monitors were used to test levels present adjacent to the chamber....carbon monoxide levels exceeded 984 ppm in the area of the chamber....After the purge cycle during removal of animals a reading of 460 ppm still remaining in the chamber as officers removed dead animals."
Not only can gas chambers leak and malfunction, but gas cylinders provided by carbon monoxide suppliers have also been documented as a potential hazard. North Carolina Department of Labor inspections revealed faulty gas cylinders at Columbus County Animal Control (3) and Davidson County Animal Control in 2006 (4). The Davidson County inspection notes that National Welders Supply does not formally test the cylinders for leaks. The Columbus County inspection says, "It was determined the overexposure occurred whenever the valve on the CO cylinder was initially opened, so the feasible engineering control would be to have the cylinder and valves checked for leaks." Animal control supervisor Rossie Hayes replied to the NCDOL, asking "for any suggestion on how to check the unit for leaks." He asked if employees should wear some type of respirator.
Stokes County Fire Marshal inspected a rusty dump-truck gas chamber at Stokes County Animal Control in January 2007 (5). A letter from the Marshal to shelter supervisor Sarah Shumate documented high levels of gas at the supply tank as well as the gas chamber door. Marshal Bradley Cheek warned:
"During the euthanasia process, levels of carbon monoxide in excess of 1000 ppm were detected on the exterior of the chamber loading door. It is not known what the exact readings were; this is due to the monitor having a maximum reading of 1000 ppm....Carbon monoxide is immediately dangerous to life and health at 1200 ppm."
Yet another jaw-dropping inspection was performed for Montgomery County Animal Control by North Carolina Department of Agriculture inspector Shelly Swaim in 2007 (6). Swaim writes,
"It was reported to me by Mr. Beane that the chamber is leaking and that there were visible cracks as well as an insufficient gasket around door. There is also no mechanism to facilitate venting of this unit. Inmates were on property and addressing chamber issues at 12:17. It appears that this CO chamber even with corrections employed at this time will pose a significant risk to the safety and life of the operator."
Industrial hygienist Marilyn Parker of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has performed gas monitor readings for two animal shelters, Granville County Animal Control in 2006 (7) and Randolph County Animal Control in 2007 (8). Both inspections revealed high level leaks of carbon monoxide around the edges of the gas chamber doors. Chambers at both facilities are modern, commercially manufactured units. Concerning the Randolph County inspection, Parker wrote, "While the chambers were in operation the monitor was placed in various locations around the door seals. Levels of CO were detected in excess of 500 ppm around the door seal....It was determined that the seals did not prevent carbon monoxide (CO) from escaping while the chambers were in operation." Ms. Parker requested in both letters that she be called for follow up inspections after corrections were made. As of October 2008, Parker said that she was not aware of any correspondence with county officials since the inspections.
CO levels above 10% are explosive, as affirmed by the gas chamber explosion at Iredell County Animal Control of Statesville in 2008. No inspection record for the machine was available, but an invoice shows that the unit had been purchased only months prior from Cutting Edge Fabrication, after originally being sold to Union County Animal Control in Monroe. In a Statesville News and Record article (9), Cutting Edge owner Stephen Whitesell is quoted: "Whitesell believes the fan somehow sparked the carbon monoxide before the gas could be purged from the chamber....Whitesell said the fan is not explosion proof." To the contrary, the AVMA 2007 Guidelines on Euthanasia include this warning about carbon monoxide chambers, "Any electrical equipment exposed to CO (eg., lights and fans) must be explosion proof."(10) Union County Sheriff Eddie Cathey told the Enquirer Journal in August 2008, (11) "the chamber that was eventually sold to Iredell was returned to Cutting Edge three years ago because it had a warped door." These are among the most expensive and hi-tech gas chambers on the market. Gas chambers from this manufacturer are reportedly still in use at Gaston, Cabarrus, and Union county animal control facilities.
Dangers to Humans
Carbon monoxide oozing from gas chambers can put shelter workers at risk of health problems, some of which can be delayed for weeks after exposure.
*The AVMA 2007 Guidelines on Euthanasia warns humans operating CO chambers: "In humans, exposure to 0.32% CO and 0.45% CO for one hour will induce loss of consciousness and death, respectively. Carbon monoxide is extremely hazardous for personnel because it is highly toxic and difficult to detect. chronic exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide may be a health hazard, especially with regard to cardiovascular disease and teratogenic effects." (10)
* The National Institute for Environmental Safety and Health published an International Chemical Safety Card for Carbon Monoxide, which states,
"The gas mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed. The gas penetrates easily through walls and ceilings...Fatal if inhaled. May damage fertility or the unborn child if inhaled. Causes damage to blood if inhaled. Causes damage to blood and central nervous system through prolonged or repeated exposure if inhaled...Inhalation Risk: A harmful concentration of this gas in the air will be reached very quickly on loss of containment. Effects of Short-term Exposure: The substance may cause effects on the blood, resulting in carboxyhaemoglobinemia and cardiac disorders. Exposure at high levels may result in death. Effects of Long-term or Repeated Exposure: The substance may have effects on the cardiovascular system and central nervous system. May cause toxicity to human reproduction or development. " (12)
* The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says, "Perhaps the most insidious effect of CP poisoning is the development of delayed neuropsychiatric impairment within 2 - 28 days after poisoning and the slow resolution of neurobehavioral consequences."(15)
* According to an article from the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2006, "Researchers discover a link between severe carbon monoxide poisoning and death years later from heart disease."(14)
* A materials safety data sheet from National Welders Supply, a leading supplier of bottled carbon monoxide to animal shelters, says that carbon monoxide is "Harmful if inhaled. Causes damage to the following organs: Blood, Lungs, Cardiovascular System, Central Nervous System. Vapor may cause flash fire...Extremely flammable. Gas may accumulate in confined areas, travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back causing fire or explosion." (18)
* A study by Ramona Hopkins and Fu Lye M. Woon states, "It is estimated that as high as 50% of individuals with carbon monoxide poisoning will develop neurologic, neurobehavioral, or cognitive sequelae." (17)
* A study of patients poisoned by carbon monoxide, from LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1999 concluded, "Ninety-three per cent of the patients exhibited a variety of cognitive impairments, including impaired attention, memory, executive function, and mental processing speed. Ninety-five per cent of the patients experienced affective changes including depression and anxiety." (18)
* Yona Amatai studied the effects of low-level CO exposure on higher cognitive function. The study concluded, "The lower scores on neuropsychological tests indicate dysfunctions in memory, new learning ability, attention and concentration, tracking skills, visuomotor skills, abstract thinking, and visuospatial planing and processing. These dysfunctions correspond with previous reports of carbon monoxide neurotoxic effects in patients with moderate carbon monoxide poisoning. Low-level exposure to carbon monoxide results in impairment of higher cognitive functions." (19)
* A 1925 study by William C. Stadie and Kirby Martin of Yale University School of Medicine says, "Occasionally the blood becomes free of carbon monoxide and the coma terminates, but the patient subsequently sinks into a coma again and dies, probably as a result of central nervous system damage." (20)
* A 2006 study by Christopher Henry and Daniel Satran, M.D. states, "Myocardial injury is a frequent consequence of moderate to severe CO poisoning." (21)
* The Department of Health and Human Services, Center for Disease Control and Prevention says, "Red blood cells pick up CO quicker than they pick up oxygen. If there is a lot of CO in the air, the body may replace oxygen in blood with CO. This blocks oxygen from getting into the body, which can damage tissues and result in death." (22)
* Science Daily reported in 2004, "Brain damage occurs – days to weeks later – in half of the patients with a serious case of CO poisoning." (23)
* A 1983 article from Archives of Neurology detailed delayed neurologic effects of CO: "The most frequent symptoms were mental deterioration, urinary or fecal incontinence, gait disturbance, and mutism." (24)
* Dr. David G. Penney, author of several books on the subject of carbon monoxide, lists nervous system damage caused by CO exposure: causes seizure disorders, multiple-sclerosis-type disorders, speech impairments, forms of aphasia; effects on learning, decrements in intellectual capacity, judgment, ability to concentrate, memory, executive functioning, multi-tasking, emotion; effects on short- to long-term memory and limbic system, ataxia, and slurring of speech. (25)
Ineffectiveness of Gas Chambers
Several mishaps have been reported by North Carolina media, showing that gas chambers are not always effective. Leaking carbon monoxide can keep the machines from reaching or maintaining a lethal level of 6%-10% for animals inside the chamber. The result can be a slower death, or mere unconsciousness and assumed death before the animal is placed in a freezer, dumpster, landfill, or incinerator. Some animals do not die the first time, whether due to inadequate gas levels, age of animal, or health issues.
Kerry Prichard of the Charlotte Observer reported a leaking gas chamber at Cabarrus County Animal Control in March 1998. "The gas chamber used to euthanize the animals was in clear view of visitors and, some critics say, it didn't always work well. Critics say it killed the animals too slowly or not at all, because of leaks or overcrowding....The gas chamber has been reconditioned and moved to the new shelter." The same chamber is still in use, complete with patching compound. (26)
A September 2003 article from Charlotte Observer reporter Hannah Mitchell uncovered problems with a gas chamber used at Alexander County Animal Control. "League volunteers heard a dog barking in a freezer after it went through the shelter's gas chamber and was assumed to be dead. The county's gas chamber used for euthanizing animals is sealed with duct tape. Campbell worried that the makeshift sealer lengthened the time it takes for animals to die." (27)
The Charlotte Observer's "Death at the Pound" series in June 2003 reported the same problem in other county shelters : "In Union, as many as 10 dogs are gassed together in a 4-by-4-foot steel container. It replaced a cinder-block chamber that leaked, causing some animals to survive the gassing." In the same article, Stanly County Animal Control Officer Randy Palmer described a situation with a newer commercially manufactured gas chamber: "After you bring them out, some of them aren't all down. Sometimes we have to put them back in." (28)
Heather Howard of the Charlotte Observer interviewed Catawba County officials in 2004. County Manager Tom Lundy said that the existing gas chamber at the animal shelter "is inefficient and outdated." Emergency Services Director David Weldon felt that a new model "would ensure that animals in the device are euthanized." (29) Instead, the county made the change to euthanasia by injection in 2008.
Doug Clark of the Sampson Independent wrote a gripping story about a litter of puppies that survived the gas chamber at the local shelter in 2004 and were later adopted, only to die the next day. Attempting to dispel rumors of parvo in the facility, former employee Dianna Williford admitted, "We had tried to euthanize those puppies a half hour earlier and it just didn't work."(30) The only method of euthanasia used by the shelter at that time was a carbon monoxide chamber.
The most well known canine gas chamber survivor in North Carolina is Davie, a dog who was found alive in a dumpster after being dumped and assumed dead by Davie County Animal Control of Mocksville in 2005. Local residents Jeff and Susan Armsworthy were discarding trash at the dump when they heard a whining noise, which turned out to be a crying puppy in a plastic bag in the dumpster. The fearless couple jumped in and rescued the pup among piles of animal carcasses. Author Mike Gunning wrote, "Apparently, one of the puppies, while knocked unconscious by the gas, didn’t inhale enough to be fatal. It appears to have become conscious while in the dumpster." (31)
Though many shelters have made the transition toward humane euthanasia in recent years, at least 22 county animal control facilities in North Carolina still kill unclaimed animals in gas chambers as of December 2009.

Need Input on naming my new Book / "Method"?
Hey, there.
I am looking for input on naming a new method of personal improvement that works surprisingly well:
* first, it actually WORKS for most people from the very first try, often taking fewer than five minutes to use;
* secondly, this method features a results scale that proves its effectiveness instantly and in real-time. No more wasting money on products that won't work -- the consumer is protected with a juicy "try it before you can buy it" guarantee.
Looking for names for this rapid, anxiety-reducing, "change-resistance" breaking technology. Have tested it successfully on a small group of participants (206 people) in a university setting, over the course of 9 months. Will be a "self-help" genre product (book, audio & worksheet pack) promoted in various ways.
The product and methods are in place, they work well -- it is simply time to find a quality name.
Much respect and thanks!
Peace.
Looks very good to me, Good luck with your endeavor.

Fear has a large shadow but he himself is small. By Ruth Gendler Find out about Online Anxiety Worksheets
The Final Word on Worksheets
In 1986, mimeograph machines were (for the most part) replaced by digital copiers in elementary schools. Those of us teachers who experienced using mimeograph machines will forever remember the distinct smell of the still-damp, purple-ink worksheets that we handed out to our students - by the ream full. (If you're like me, you can remember that smell right now!)
Then along came digital copiers and the purple-ink mimeograph machine disappeared. But the teaching tool that the mimeograph machine spawned - the worksheet - has lived on... and on... and on. For decades - literally decades - teachers have been enamored with worksheets. So what is the bottom line? Are worksheets a serious teaching tool or an over-used form of busy work? The answer, of course, is both.
Students can certainly benefit from practicing new skills and concepts on paper. From letters and numbers to report summary formats, worksheets can provide students with a framework for practice - an avenue for synthesizing new information in their brains. Well designed worksheets can also give students a platform for expressing creative ideas and reaching towards higher levels of thinking.
So what is the concern? There are three big concerns, actually.
Our teacher "caution light" should start blinking if we are using lower-level-thinking worksheets (Example: "Check the box next to the correct answer."), if we are using too many worksheets or if we are using worksheets as classroom busy work.
Both lower-level-thinking worksheets and too many (even high quality) worksheets can hold students back by not providing stimulus and challenge. Studies have shown for years (just do a Google search!) that children learn best through active involvement and real-life experiences. Virtually every teacher knows that children learn to read by being exposed to books and by being read to, NOT by completing worksheets. The same applies to all areas of learning.
As far as using worksheets for busy work, the verdict is in. It is destructive to classroom learning to assign worksheets to simply keep students occupied. Busy work creates monotony, causes boredom and increases the likelihood of behavior problems. Period.
To know if you are on the right track with worksheets in your classroom, answer (honestly) these simple questions:
- Do my students groan when I hand out a worksheet? (The answer should be no.) - Are my lesson plans based on worksheets? (The answer should be no.) - Do I feel anxiety if I don't have worksheets copied? (The answer should be no.) - Are students excited about learning in my classroom? (The answer should be yes!)
We have come a long way as teachers since those purple-ink mimeograph machines introduced us to worksheets, so let's be vigilant! Avoid lower-level-thinking worksheets, do not use too many worksheets (even good ones) and NEVER use worksheets as busy work.
Instead, let's fill our classrooms with meaningful, thoughtful lessons and activities that peak student interest and promote higher-level learning. And that is a message worth copying and handing out!

Where can I find the 'Testing Your Thoughts' worksheet by the Beck Institute online?
A few years ago, I was in CBT, and my therapist gave me a very helpful worksheet called 'Testing Your Thoughts.' it was developed by Aaron and Judith Beck, I believe. I made copies at that time, and would use them frequently and effectively at home or work when dealing with anxiety. I'd like to show this worksheet to a friend as a way of encouraging her to take advantage of cognitive behavioral therapy, but I no longer have any copies.

Eliminate Your High Interest Debt
Monthly credit card payments have recently skyrocketed, which has resulted in millions of people looking for some type of debt relief.
While consumers struggle to make even their minimum monthly payments, issuers of credit cards are realizing all-time record profits. For instance, credit card companies earned a staggering $90.1 Billion in profits from interest charged to consumers during the year 2006. What's worse is that these same companies earned $55.2 Billion in fees charged to their customers, such as over-limit fees and late fees.
If you're a consumer contributing to these ridiculous profits through high interest credit card debt, and you're struggling to meet your monthly financial obligations, it's time to reassess your current situation. I recommend that you gather all of your credit card bills and carefully review each statement. You'll want to determine exactly how much interest and/or fees are accruing on your accounts each month. After doing so, you should be able to have a clear understanding of whether or not you can realistically pay off these debts in a reasonable amount of time, and eliminate some of the interest you're paying. For a free Credit Card Interest Rate Worksheet, visit the following link: www.donaldsonwilliams.com/Credit_Card_Interest_Rate_Worksheet.html.
This simple worksheet will help you clearly review your finances and determine if you're being strangled by high interest.
If you find that your current credit card debt is nearly impossible to pay off through regular monthly payments to your creditors, it's time to seek help. The following solutions have helped many people to eliminate their debt:
• Debt Consolidation Loan
• Consumer Credit Counseling
• Debt Settlement
• Bankruptcy (Most people resort to bankruptcy only as a last resort, but it is an option)
It's time to take action now so that you can realize a debt-free lifestyle and eliminate your concern and anxiety due to money concerns. I wish you the very best in your endeavor to eliminate debt and concern.

Ever had a goal in life? A lot of us do and this is what keeps us going every single day. While most of us put in the hours to make that happen, it wouldn’t hurt to get a boost from someone who has had hypnosis training.
People with hypnosis training can help you achieve your goals because studies have shown there is a link between your subconscious and conscious mind. Most of the time, our thoughts and actions are controlled by our subconscious so if you work on this, the rest will follow suit.
To make this happen, the specialist has to get you into the zone. One you are in a trance like state, the specialist will now impart a keyword into your subconscious so you can achieve your goal no matter how small it may be.
Specialists who are able to help anyone achieve their dreams will have a lot of clients. These will include ordinary people like yourself and athletes as well.
But will the help provided by the specialist guarantee that you will achieve your goal? No because the specialist is merely a tool and it is your effort that will determine whether or not you make it happen. If you want to ace an exam, you have to study. If you want to win in an event, naturally you have to practice.
So if you think about it, there is no magic pill around that will help you achieve your goal. You must be prepared both mentally and physically to get the results you want.
If you want the help of a specialist, look at your phone directory or online. Once you have a few potentials, do some research by finding out how long they have been in the business, how much do they charge and what are their credentials.
Naturally, you want to work with someone who is renowned in the field so that you don’t waste your time and money.
There is no doubt that you can achieve almost anything with the help of someone with hypnosis training. Aside from helping you achieve your goals, they can also help people suffering from anxiety disorders, addictions and low self-esteem. The common denominator with all of these is the fact that these are all psychological in origin.
This means that these are all in the mind and if you want to do something about it, you need someone to go deep into your subconscious so the proper changes can be made. This can only happen of course if you know someone who has had hypnosis training.
Did you know that you can also achieve your goals by getting hypnosis training? Yes you can because there are courses offered with videos, worksheets and exercises that can teach you everything there is to know.
If you don’t want to get hypnosis training, there is another option. You can buy a CD or download a recording from the web that focuses on goal setting. It is free so you should take advantage of it.
Nobody can be called a specialist and work with certain people without the proper hypnosis training. It is easy to learn and even you can be taught how to do it. You just need to put in the time and open up your mind.
Are you plagued by fears, phobias, or panicattacks? Do you toss and turn at night with a knot in your stomach, worrying about your job, your family, work, your health, or relationships? Do you suffer from crippling shyness, obsessive doubts, or feelings of insecurity?What you may not realize is that these fears are almost never based on reality...
Attempts to manage your thoughts or get rid of worry, fear, and panic can leave you feeling frustrated and powerless. But you can take back your life from anxiety without controlling anxious thoughts and feelings...
Do you wake up dreading the day? Do you feel ciscouraged with what you've accomplished in life? Do you want greater self-esteem, productivity, and joy in daily living? If so, you will benefit from this revolutionary way of brightening your moods without drugs or lengthy therapy...

5 Stress Relieving Tips For Teachers
It is a widely recognized fact that teaching is one of the most stressful professions. Teaching can be an intensely rewarding, and intensely challenging career path.
In order to be the best teacher that you can possibly be, you need to find ways to keep stress levels low.
So what is stress?
Stress is simply your body's way of protecting you in difficult or challenging situations and ensuring peak performance. Too much stress can impact negatively on your effectiveness in the workplace, your relationships, your emotions, your overall enjoyment of life and even your health.
symptoms of stress can include headache, irritability, anxiety, overeating and sleep problems. More severe signs of stress include high blood pressure, stomach ulcers, depression and even heart disease.
So how can I reduce my stress levels?
1. Create a Sanctuary
After spending a hectic day in the classroom, answering hundreds of questions and dealing with a plethora of dilemmas, it is often difficult to switch off at the end of the school day. One way to ensure you are not continuing to stress about your day is to create a time and space at home intended to relax and calm. Create a sanctuary at home by lighting scented candles or incense with calming properties, for example lavender and sandalwood - aromatherapy oil burners can create a relaxing atmosphere instantly. Play peaceful and beautiful music to inspire your soul. Work with your hands, tending to indoor herbs or knitting - any simple and relaxing activity. Pour a glass of red wine; drinking one glass a day reduces many health risks. Or, if you prefer, prepare herbal tea, such as green tea or chamomile tea.
2. Meditate
If thoughts of the school day interrupt your sanctuary time and intrude on your delegated relaxation space, you must be firm. Use meditation to force your body and mind to relax. Play a guided meditation CD or simply focus on closing your eyes and repeating a key phrase, such as 'I am calm, I am peaceful'.
3. Learn to delegate and prioritize
Teachers tend to be givers. Teaching is a helpful and caring profession and many teachers drawn to this profession tend to be less effective at delegating responsibility or prioritizing. As a teacher, if you suffer from stress, you must learn to let people know when your need more time for a task, or if in fact you are unable to complete a task within the time frame given. Learn to say no, or to delegate and share responsibilities. The following phrases may help:
"I can't right now, but if we could plan a meeting time next week I would be happy to help you"
"Today I am very busy but I could do that by..."
"No, I'm sorry"
Make a 'To Do' list and order in terms of importance. For example, divide professional tasks and activities in to 'MUST DO', 'SHOULD DO' AND 'MIGHT DO'.
4. Support Networks
Socialize with workmates and network often. As well as leading to more harmonious and happy working relationships, networking can lead to acquiring resources, supplies, tips, support and advice. Sometimes stress may become unmanageable and lead to depression. Seek advice and support from a professional immediately if this happens.
5. Healthy Living
The most obvious strategy can often be the hardest to follow. Research has consistently proven that exercise and healthy eating reduce stress levels. Gentle exercise is best for stress relief, for example walking, jogging and yoga. Exercise increases endorphin levels, lowers blood pressure and increases feelings of wellbeing.

TEACHER’S STRESS IN RELATION TO JOB SATISFACTION
There should be enormous amount of research has to be taken place to answer the queries like - What is Teacher Stress? What is Teacher Job Satisfaction? How far Teacher Stress and Teacher Job Satisfaction are correlated? How far Teacher Stress and Teacher Job Satisfaction are related to Pupil out comes in different areas of classroom learning? The impacts of Teacher Stress and Teacher Job Satisfaction on achievement of Educational objectives are to be answered.
The absence of a high dropout rate and job turnover among Indian teachers does not necessarily mean that they do not experience stress and lack of job satisfaction. This may be due to entirely different reasons like non-availability of alternative job opportunities and fear of taking risks. It is hard to believe that they do not experience stress and are not frustrated and disillusioned with their professional life under the situations prevailed in the institutions and social conditions. Experiencing constant dissatisfaction with the job has many repercussions for the individual’s adjustment to work as well as in personal and social life and may have magnetic impact on individuals’ total personality and resulting substandard performance.
Coats and Thoresen (1976) in their review of studies on Teacher anxiety quote the NEA report to show the growing incidence of teacher anxiety. Kyriacou and Sutcliffe (1978) in a study of 257 in a study of 257 teachers of 16 schools in England noted that 15.6% found being a teacher ‘very’ stressful while 4.3% found it ‘extremely’ stressful (total 19.9%). David, W.Chan and Eadaoin, K.P.Hui (1998) reported that regardless of gender and guidance status, teachers with low stress and high support levels generally reported less general psychological symptoms, and teachers with high support level reported less specific symptoms related to anxiety and sleep problems. Whereas the studies of Arikewuyo and M.Olalekan (2004) disclosed that the average Nigerian teacher prefers to organize him/herself in such a way that his/her pedagogic duties will not be hampered by domestic chores. It also implies that, whenever the teacher is stressed, he/she consoles him/herself with the fact that work is not everything and therefore feels less stressed. The teachers never use the active cognitive strategies. Their feeling is that nothing probably can be challenged in stressful situations. The teachers also express mixed feelings about the adoption of inactive behavioural strategies.
While in the case of Teacher Job Satisfaction the studies of Garett, R.M. (1999) that the evidence available from mature educational systems identified a complex picture in which job satisfaction, itself a multi-faceted concept, was closely related to the other key factors of work life complexity and work centrality. The studies of Zembylas, Michalinos; Papanastasiou, Elena (2004) findings “An adapted version of the questionnaire developed by the "Teacher 2000 Project" was translated into Greek and used for the purposes of this study that had a sample of 461 K-12 teachers and administrators. This showed that, unlike other countries in which this questionnaire was used, Cypriot teachers chose this career because of the salary, the hours, and the holidays associated with this profession. While Naik, G.C. (1990) found that ad hoc teaching assistants of the M.S.University, Baroda, were satisfied with their jobs mainly because of their favourable attitude towards the teaching profession, financial consideration and the facilities which they were getting for further studies; marital status, age, experience and gender did not affect their level of job satisfaction; leadership qualities of heads of institutions promoted job satisfaction, and group goals and objectives were essential parameters in determining the job satisfaction of teachers. Sex, experience and background variables had no bearing on job satisfaction.

Banish Facial Tics And Social Embarrassment Forever
Facial tics are characterized by abrupt, apparently reflex muscle contractions of muscle groups in the face and neck region. These contractions are frequently recurring in nature, and appear to have no actual point. Most tics are exaggerated eye blinking, squinting, nose wrinkling, facial grimacing or even vocalizations such as throat clearing or grunting. Tics often show up during childhood, and most of the time resolve as a child ages. This is not always the case, though, and many people continue to exhibit tics as they enter adulthood.
Tics often increase in occurrence as a person feels stress or discomfort. People who suffer from tics report they are often aware of a tic as it approaches. It's often described as an overwhelming feeling of tension and the compulsion to perform the tic to eliminate the tension; somewhat akin to the approaching urge to yawn or sneeze which relieves the victim. Controlling a tic can trigger stress, which can lead to the beginning of another tic. Tics are often described as being automatic but research and reports from sufferers indicates they are indeed voluntary motions that can be controlled by the sufferer.
A tic can manifest as a simple tic, as in grunting, mouth twitches or facial grimaces or it can be more complex such as is often seen in Tourette syndrome. Simple tics are more commonly seen than complex tics, but they can be just as disturbing to the sufferer; while a facial tic does not cause physical pain to the sufferer, it often causes social problems or mental distress.
Children in particular, can have a difficult time dealing with a tic because of mocking from other kids, or teachers that don't fully realize the tricky situation the child is in. While tics are often described as not being totally involuntary, control of a tic can be quite difficult to establish, especially in children. Children often do not establish the skills to recognize a tic onset as well as an adult.
Adults can also face critical trouble in their lives when dealing with a facial tic. Social problems are quite common, and even when tics are generally controlled the adult can become very worn out by the incessant need to identify the onset of and control the tic impulse. Adults and children alike may suffer from self-esteem or self-worth issues due to their continuous suffering from a disease that often causes them to become social outcasts.
Relieving a person of the anxiety of a facial tic can be a life-changing experience. Self-esteem usually improves, and social anxiety is no longer a strength holding an individual back from experiencing a full life. In children, relieving a tic may let the child develop with less tension while he/she has a happier childhood.
Over the years, many treatments for tics have been used with varying degrees of success. Psychotherapy or counseling can help uncover the emotional causes of a tic, and may help a person understand better how to combat the urge to perform their tic. Mild sedatives and other forms of medication are sometimes successful in cases of simple tics. These medications often come saddled with negative side effects, so many people consider alternative treatments.
Hypnotherapy and nlp (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) methods have been created particularly for the purpose of overcoming tics. Since facial tics are not strictly involuntary in nature, these treatments aim to change the sufferer's unconscious response to the onset of a tic episode such as throat clearing or facial grimacing. In most cases this can be accomplished by allowing the unconscious mind to abort the onset of the tic. In some extreme cases, however, the victim's response will be redirected to some innocuous portion of the body such as twitching a toe instead of facial muscles.
Facial tics can be an uncomfortable life-affecting woe. Children and adults alike can suffer greatly from the existence of a facial tic such as grunting, nose wrinkling, facial grimaces, mouth twitches, squinting or eye blinking. Eliminating a facial tic can prove very advantageous to the sufferer on an emotional level.
Although many treatments have been created to combat facial tics, Hypnotherapy and NLP aim to utilize natural unconscious methods of redirecting the tic response. This type of treatment has great benefit over other methods such as counseling, which may not treat the tic behavior at all, or attempt to change the conscious response to tic behavior.
Hypnotherapy and NLP also do not suffer from the unwanted side effects of drugs. This beneficial method of treatment can also diminish tension and anxiety in the victim's life, thereby both reducing the impulse to form a tic and proving an advantage in everyday life. Due to these factors, Hypnotherapy and NLP are often the safest, most preferred methods of treatment for tic sufferers.
I have Social Anxiety Disorder should i still become a teacher?
I always wanted to become a teacher but my social anxiety is holding me back. So many great opportunities I have missed.
I am currently a college student but I know I dont want to drop out....
I am worried I wont be able to handle or network because I am so shy...It's so ridiculous..i love who I am but I feel like a social outcast while everyone else is a social clone : (
Comments are greatly appreciated!!
I am planning on working with young kids...
I also have a counselor already
Social anxiety is getting nervous talking in front of people, to my understanding.
Secretly, I have it to. I'm currently taking an Oral Communication class and I have a wopping 27%. Maybe that's because I'm the only freshmen in that class full of seniors.
What grade are you planning on teaching? I'd suggest you should teach younger kids, seeing as they aren't capable of harsh judgement. Middle school and High school are the places where there "I hate (enter name of specific teacher)" facebook groups happen.
Don't let it hold you back, I have ADHD, and people really get annoyed with me sometimes. I know how it feels to be that one kid.

ANXIETY: Counseling and Treatment-From Huntley, Cary and Rolling Meadows
People with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) go through the day filled with exaggerated worry and tension, even though there is little or nothing to provoke it. They anticipate disaster and are overly concerned about health issues, money, family problems, or difficulties at work.
People with GAD cannot get rid of their concerns, even though they usually realize that their anxiety is more intense than the situation warrants. They are unable relax, startle easily and have difficulty concentrating.
Physical symptoms that often accompany the anxiety include, but are not limited to, fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, muscle aches, difficulty swallowing, trembling, twitching, irritability, sweating, nausea, lightheadedness, having to go to the bathroom frequently, feeling out of breath and hot flashes.
GAD affects about 6.8 million Americans and about twice as many women as men. It comes on gradually and can begin across the life cycle, though the risk is highest between childhood and middle age.
It is diagnosed when someone spends at least 6 months worrying excessively about a number of everyday problems. There is evidence that genes play a modest role in GAD.
Other anxiety disorders, depression, or substance abuse often accompany GAD, which rarely occurs alone. It is commonly treated with medication an/or cognitive-behavioral therapy.
Treatment of Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are typically treated with medication, specific types of psychotherapy, or both. Treatment choices depend on the problem and the persons preference.
Before treatment, a doctor must conduct a careful diagnostic evaluation to determine whether the symptoms are caused by an anxiety disorder or a physical problem. If an anxiety disorder is diagnosed, the type of disorder must be identified, as well as any coexisting conditions, such as depression or substance abuse.
Sometimes alcoholism, depression or other coexisting conditions have such a strong effect on the individual that treating the anxiety disorder must wait until the coexisting conditions are brought under control.
People with anxiety disorders who have already received treatment should tell their current doctor about that treatment.
If they received medication, they should tell their doctor what medication was used, what the dosage was at the beginning of treatment, whether it was ever increased or decreased, what side effects occurred and whether the treatment helped them significantly. If they received psychotherapy, they should describe the type of therapy, how often they attended sessions and how much the therapy helped.
Often people believe that they have failed at treatment or that the treatment did not work for them when, in fact, it was not given for an adequate length of time or was administered incorrectly. Sometimes people must try several different treatments or combinations before they find the one that works for them.
Medications
Medication will not cure anxiety disorders, but it can keep them under control while the person receives psychotherapy, often from a psychologist. The principal medications used to treat anxiety disorders are antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs and beta-blockers which control some of the physical symptoms.
With proper treatment, many people with anxiety disorders can lead normal, fulfilling lives.
Antidepressants
Antidepressants were developed to treat depression but are also effective for anxiety disorders. Although these medications begin to alter brain chemistry after the very first dose, their full effect requires about 4 to 6 weeks before symptoms start to fade. It is important to continue taking these medications long enough to let them work.
SSRIs
Some of the newest antidepressants are called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. SSRIs alter the levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain, which, like other neurotransmitters, helps brain cells communicate with one another.
Fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), escitalopram (Lexapro), paroxetine (Paxil) and citalopram (Celexa) are some of the SSRIs commonly prescribed for panic disorder, OCD, PTSD, and social phobia. These drugs are also used to treat panic disorder when it occurs in combination with OCD, social phobia or depression.
Venlafaxine (Effexor), a drug closely related to the SSRIs, is also used to treat GAD. These medications are started at low doses and gradually increased until they cause side effects or produce a beneficial effect.
SSRIs have fewer side effects than older antidepressants, but they sometimes produce slight nausea or jitters when people first start to take them. These symptoms fade with time, however.
Some people also experience sexual dysfunction with SSRIs, which may be helped by adjusting the dosage or switching to another medication.
Tricyclics
Tricyclics are older than SSRIs and work as well as SSRIs for anxiety disorders other than OCD. They are also started at low doses that are gradually increased.
They sometimes cause dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and weight gain, which can usually be corrected by changing the dosage or switching to another medication.
Tricyclics include imipramine (Tofranil), which is prescribed for panic disorder and GAD and clomipramine (Anafranil), which is the only tricyclic antidepressant useful for treating OCD.
MAOIs
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are the oldest class of antidepressant medications and the ones most commonly prescribed for anxiety are phenelzine (Nardil), followed by tranylcypromine (Parnate) and isocarboxazid (Marplan), which are useful in treating panic disorder and social phobia.
People who take MAOIs cannot eat a variety of foods and beverages (including cheese and red wine) that contain tyramine or take certain medications, including some types of birth control pills, pain relievers (such as Advil, Motrin and Tylenol, cold and allergy medications and herbal supplements; these substances can interact with MAOIs to cause dangerous increases in blood pressure.
MAOIs can also react with SSRIs to produce a serious condition called serotonin syndrome, which can cause confusion, hallucinations, increased sweating, muscle stiffness, seizures, changes in blood pressure or heart rhythm and other potentially life-threatening conditions.
Anti-Anxiety Drugs
High-potency benzodiazepines combat anxiety and have few side effects other than drowsiness. Because people can develop a tolerance to them and may need higher and higher doses to get the same effect, benzodiazepines are generally prescribed for short periods of time, especially for people who have abused drugs or alcohol or who become dependent on medication easily.
One exception to this rule, however, is people with panic disorder, who can take benzodiazepines for up to a year without harm. Clonazepam (Klonopin) is used for social phobia and GAD, lorazepam (Ativan) is helpful for panic disorder and alprazolam (Xanax) is useful for both panic disorder and GAD.
Some people experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop taking benzodiazepines abruptly instead of tapering off, and anxiety can return once the medication is stopped. These potential problems have led some physicians to shy away from using these drugs or to use them in inadequate doses.
Buspirone (Buspar), an azapirone, is a newer anti-anxiety medication used to treat GAD. Possible side effects include dizziness, headaches, and nausea. Unlike benzodiazepines, buspirone must be taken consistently for at least 2 weeks to achieve an anti-anxiety effect.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy involves talking with a trained mental health professional, such as a psychologist, social worker, or counselor, to discover what caused an anxiety disorder and how to deal with its symptoms.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is very useful in treating anxiety disorders. The cognitive part helps people change the thinking patterns that support their fears and the behavioral part helps people change the way they react to anxiety-provoking situations.
For example, CBT can help people with panic disorder learn that their panic attacks are not really heart attacks and help people with social phobia learn how to overcome the belief that others are always watching and judging them. When people are ready to confront their fears, they are shown how to use exposure techniques to desensitize themselves to situations that trigger their anxieties.
People with OCD who fear dirt and germs are encouraged to get their hands dirty and wait increasing amounts of time before washing them. The therapist helps the person cope with the anxiety that waiting produces; after the exercise has been repeated a number of times, the anxiety diminishes.
People with social phobia may be encouraged to spend time in feared social situations without giving in to the temptation to flee and to make small social blunders and observe how people respond to them. Since the response is usually far less harsh than the person fears, these anxieties are lessened.
People with PTSD may be supported through recalling their traumatic event in a safe situation, which helps reduce the fear it produces. CBT therapists also teach deep breathing and other types of exercises to relieve anxiety and encourage relaxation.
Exposure-based behavioral therapy has been used for many years to treat specific phobias. The person gradually encounters the object or situation that is feared, perhaps at first only through pictures or tapes, then later face-to-face.
Group therapy is particularly effective for social phobia. Often homework is assigned for participants to complete between sessions.
There is some evidence that the benefits of CBT last longer than those of medication for people with panic disorder, and the same may be true for OCD, PTSD, and social phobia. If a disorder recurs at a later date, the same therapy can be used to treat it successfully a second time.
Medication can be combined with psychotherapy for specific anxiety disorders, and this is the best treatment approach for many people.
Taking Medications
Before taking medication for an anxiety disorder:
1. Ask your doctor to tell you about the effects and side effects of the drug.
2. Tell your doctor about any alternative therapies or over-the-counter medications you are using.
3. Ask your doctor when and how the medication should be stopped. Some drugs cannot be stopped abruptly but must be tapered off slowly under a doctors supervision.
4. Work with your doctor to determine which medication is right for you and what dosage is best.
5. Be aware that some medications are effective only if they are taken regularly and that symptoms may recur if the medication is stopped.
How to Get Help for Anxiety Disorders
If you think you have an anxiety disorder, the first person you should see is a psychologist, psychiatrist or your family doctor. It must be determined whether the symptoms that alarm you are due to an anxiety disorder, another medical condition or both.
If an anxiety disorder is diagnosed, the next step is usually contracting with a mental health professional to provide treatment. The practitioners who are most helpful with anxiety disorders are psychologists and therapists who have training in cognitive-behavioral therapy and/or behavioral therapy and who are open to using medication if it is needed.
You should feel comfortable talking with the mental health professional you choose. If you do not, you should seek help elsewhere.
Once you find a mental health professional with whom you are comfortable, the two of you should work as a team and make a plan to treat your anxiety disorder.
Remember that once you start on medication, it is important not to stop taking it abruptly.
Certain drugs must be tapered off under the supervision of a doctor or bad reactions can occur. Make sure you talk to the doctor who prescribed your medication before you stop taking it.
If you are having trouble with side effects, it is possible that they can be eliminated by adjusting how much medication you take and when you take it.
Most insurance plans, including health maintenance organizations (HMOs), will cover treatment for anxiety disorders. Check with your insurance company and find out.
If you do not have insurance, the Health and Human Services division of your county government may offer mental health care at a public mental health center that charges people according to how much they are able to pay. If you are on public assistance, you may be able to get care through your state Medicaid plan.
Ways to Make Treatment More Effective
Many people with anxiety disorders benefit from joining a self-help or support group and sharing their problems and achievements with others. Internet chat rooms can also be useful in this regard, but any advice received over the Internet should be used with caution, as Internet acquaintances have usually never seen each other and false identities are common.
Talking with a trusted friend or member of the clergy can also provide support, but it is not a substitute for care from a psychologist or other mental health professional. Stress management techniques and meditation can help people with anxiety disorders calm themselves and may enhance the effects of their therapy.
There is preliminary evidence that aerobic exercise may have a calming effect. Since caffeine, certain illicit drugs and even some over-the-counter cold medications can aggravate anxiety disorders, they should be avoided.
Check with your physician or pharmacist before taking any additional medications. Also, the family is very important in ones recovery. Ideally, the family should be supportive and should not trivialize the disorder or demand improvement without treatment.

The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others. By Sonya Friedman
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Did Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman, and Samuel Jackson deserve Oscars?
I think Hilary Swank definitely put in Oscar material for her role in "Freedom Writers", same with Samuel L. Jackson in "Coach Carter", and Morgan Freeman in "Lean On Me" as all three films were based on real-life events and were very inspirational and emotional. All three actors breathed credibility and life into their characters and these 3 films taught strong lessons about endurance leading to success! These are the strong films that need to be made in this climate of anxiety and pressure to remind people that with enough effort, endurance, and patience they CAN reach their goals.
yeah, i think so. samuel jackson is an amazing actor and so is morgan freeman. hilary swank continues to amaze me.
