What is self-confidence?
How to gain self confidence
Today is one of those days when your group has to make a presentation to a client. This is an important occasion because it is an opportunity to get your boss' attention. It could mean a raise or a promotion if you could just muster the courage to stand there in front of these people and present your proposal. The problem is, your shyness gets the better of you, and you are relegated to the background.
You sat there mesmerized, as your colleague Elena made a winning presentation of your proposal. She stood there, dressed in a simple gray suit that spelled confidence! "Why can't I gather enough courage to present my work to these people when I know this project like the back of my hand," you ask yourself.
Self confidence. This is what you lack, and this is what your colleague Elena has. But what is self confidence? Is it the ability to speak in a loud voice so you can get people's attention? Is it about power dressing?

What is Speed Reading?
Speed Reading Explained
Speed reading or rapid reading is basically a process that allows a person to read a text at an increased speed. This can be done by skimming or selectively reading certain words or phrases that are relevant to the text.
The average reading comprehension rate of an individual is around 75%. However, some methods individuals employ to achieve speed reading significantly cuts into this figure, as much as less than 50%. When this happens a reader's comprehension level is compromised. Under this condition it would be very difficult for a person to learn or study new materials.
Many, many books have been devoted to the topic of speed reading. Individuals who want to increase their reading speed have also invested a lot of money on courses that teach speed reading techniques.

INTRODUCTION
They say that the eyes are the “windows to the soul.” If that is the case, then the smile must be the doorway. Think about it for a moment. Have you ever wondered how many times you will smile or laugh in your lifetime? Does it really matter?
It can matter a great deal if you are one of the millions of Americans who hide their mouth in shame rather than letting their inner joy reflect outward.
Nothing lets the world know more about us than the way we project ourselves on our surroundings and to other people.
Whatever the condition of your smile today, it can be changed. We are about to show you how.
History
Before you can begin to appreciate what the advances in modern dentistry mean to us in the modern world, we must take a look at dentistry throughout the ages.
Sumerian tablets recovered from 5,000 BC tell us that these ancient people took their dental care very seriously using the first known toothbrush. It was fashioned from a tree branch and they used it to rid themselves of "tooth worms."

It is commonplace for several people to suffer at least an occasional night of almost non-existent sleep. The causes of insomnia differ from person to person. What made a student insomniac varies from what caused a shift worker or a traveler or an employee to acquire such sleeping disorder.
Insomnia, which is the inability to sleep satisfactorily or to have any sleep at all, is one of the most common sleep disorders. It is characterized by restlessness, sleep interruptions, decreased sleeping time than the usual, or sometimes complete wakefulness.
Aside from the annoyance that insomnia can cause to its sufferers, this sleep disorder causes those afflicted to lose enthusiasm and energy, acquire memory and concentration problems, feel lethargic, frustrated, and of course sleepy. Worse cases that may be induced by insomnia is one's being prone to accidents, reduced work productivity and the aggravation of psychological and medical conditions.
So what exactly are the culprits that make insomnia one menacing sleeping problem?
1. Emotional Distress
More particularly when it is from internalized anxiety or anger, emotional problems can easily trigger this sleep disorder.
2. Substance Abuse
Drinking too much
coffee, colas or other "energy-upper drinks" is known to cause insomnia. Caffeine from these drinks is the main reason. Chain smokers can also be easy victims of insomnia because of the nicotine that cigarettes contain.
Herbal remedies, alcohol and other medications can also make one prone to becoming an insomniac. Some may think that alcohol, when consumed, can make one feel drowsy. But little did they know that in the long run, when the alcohol gets metabolized, sudden wakefulness will follow.

What are Allergies?
Stories of friends and family members unable to enjoy certain foods, participate in activities, or participate in particular environments are all too common.
In fact, 50 million Americans are estimated to have allergies. This means that a great number of people live with certain lifestyle 'limitations' by what we've come to know as an allergy, which is what an adverse reaction by the immune system to any foreign substance is called.
There is no clear apparent medical reason why people contract allergies, but one thing remains clear: the condition is indiscriminate in its coverage and may affect us regardless of age, gender, or race. Commonly, however, the allergy manifests in our infancy or childhood, although some symptoms may appear at any age or may reappear after any period of apparent inactivity.
Most allergies are largely insignificant and may be dealt with by simple lifestyle choices; however, there is a possibility of them either adversely affecting our daily life, or perhaps life-threatening conditions.

What is Self-Esteem?
How does self esteem work?
Tracy has been in and out of relationships for so long that she is beginning to think that no one is out there for her. No matter how she tried, and no matter what kind of guy she goes steady with, it always ends up with a big bang, and the door is usually slammed at her end.
She has blamed herself for her failed relationships because she was so kind or nosy, or forgiving, selfless, clingy. You name it; every single bad thing that happened to the relationship was her fault. Up to now, she could not help but wonder what went wrong. She has done everything to make it work but nothing she does seems to make a difference and she still hasn’t found “Mr. Right.”
At first glance, there is really nothing wrong with Tracy, nor with the men in her lives. But as you probe into their day to day activities, you realize that Tracy looks okay on the outside, but has very low regard for herself on the inside. She seems like an ordinary girl next door but she is actually suffering from what we call low self esteem.

Requirements for Fitness Trainer Certification
Before you can take any of the different certification tests for becoming a fitness trainer, you have to meet certain standards. These standards will sometimes change according to the type of fitness trainer certification you're applying for, as well as the standards set by the ruling body of the fitness organization from which you're applying for certification. A good rule of thumb is to make inquiries before applying for a certification test, asking what requirements the organization may have. By and large, however, here are some of the requirements that are common to most, if not all, fitness organizations for certification.
Age Limit and Diploma - most organizations will set the age limit for their certified trainers at around 18 or 21, and will require, at the least, a high school degree. Not every group requires college degrees, though some of the stricter ones require college degrees in sports sciences even for basic fitness trainer positions. If you're applying for advanced trainer courses though, such college degrees are a hard prerequisite.

Introduction
Q- We are going to be discussing holistic healing on a general basis. Can you tell us how long you have been involved in holistic healing?
A- Since about 1961, I had just finished what they call my right of passage, in my tribe on my 12th birthday that is when I made my declaration to my elders that I would accept the passing of the mantle so to speak of the family Shaman from my Great Uncle Jacob to me.
Q- What does that entail or are you allowed to say?
A- Well I am here to demystify the mystical and they’re a lot of various practices and modalities around the world that have a hallmark of your either coming into womanhood or manhood and that is usually your 12th birthday.
The morning of my birthday my uncle Jake showed up at like 7 in the morning and we started walking and we didn’t stop walking till that night. This is a feat considering I grew up in Pittsburgh and we just started walking and eventually wound up heading over the bridge that connected you to downtown. Then through downtown off over another bridge and up into the mountains which were then populated but it was like the suburbs. We walked through there and back through another set of bridges back into town, crossed town and back into the mountains so to speak in the area in which we were living and then back down to the house where everyone was waiting with birthday cake and all this other stuff.
