Tips for Dealing With Panic Disorder in the Workplace

No time is ever a good time to experience a panic attack. The physical symptoms can be very debilitating, and the anxiety that accompanies an attack can make it difficult to make any decisions at all. Because of this, the fear of having a panic attack in the workplace can be particularly troublesome to someone with panic disorder. Here are a few tips that may help you to manage this issue while you’re working.

Trust In a Co-Worker

Panic attacks can be difficult to go through alone, especially if you’ve only recently started suffering from this particular disorder. If you feel you know any of your co-workers enough to trust them, confide in someone about your condition. Not only does it feel good to be accepted, but your friend may also be willing to help calm you down when you need it.

Always Have a Plan

Being unorganized and unprepared at work will set you up for a stressful day. Come up with a plan for yourself at the beginning of the week. Make sure to manage your time wisely, and leave yourself a bit of time to take a break between each commitment.

Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

The food that you eat can have a profound impact on your mood. Try to eat a balanced diet and keep alcohol and caffeine consumption to a minimum. Getting enough sleep is another important (and also overlooked) factor. For most people, this means shooting for roughly eight hours of sleep per night.

Know When to Take a Break

If a particularly difficult project is getting to you, don’t be afraid to step away so you can clear your head. Take a trip to the break room, take a walk around the park, or simply meditate or do some breathing exercises. You’ll come back refreshed and with a clear perspective.

Reward Your Successes

If you’re successful at work, take a moment to celebrate your achievement. Acknowledging your accomplishments helps you to keep a positive frame of mind throughout the day.

Set Realistic Goals

Achieving your goals makes you feel good. Failing to reach your goals, on the other hand, can be frustrating and stressful. When you plan out your work day, set goals for yourself that are meaningful but still achievable.

Look Into Employer Resources

If you’re having a hard time at work, communicate with your employer or supervisor so that you can get the help you need. You may be able to sign up for skill-building classes or an Employee Assistance Program. Even if no formal assistance is available, your supervisor may be able to offer guidance or assistance so you can get a handle on things more easily.

Keeping these tips in mind throughout the day can help to reduce workplace stress, and avoid the kind of situations that could lead to a panic attack. However, panic disorder is a serious issue, and can be very difficult to treat by yourself. If you experience panic attacks regularly, consider talking to a mental health care professional to see what sort of treatment is best for you.

Study Groups For Non-Traditional College Students

WHY STUDY GROUPS ARE SO USEFUL

A study group for a college class is very useful for many reasons. A study group can help you get a much better grade. Also, you can meet people from your class in study group sessions and get to know them better. In addition, people in your group can help you focus on the important study topics in class so that you can cover more in less time. Nontraditional students can meet other kinds of students in a study group. Also, you will even feel more comfortable in class after you have met in your study group a few times.

IN-PERSON STUDY GROUPS VS. ONLINE GROUPS

You can form study groups in person or online. I find that in person study groups are easier, but both kinds of groups are good to have. Most of my experiences using study groups come from groups made for face-to-face classes, but I did have at least one online study group. Both were really helpful to me. If you have a choice of having your study group either meeting online or in person I would choose in person, because it’s a lot more fun. You can talk and get to know each other a lot easier. But online study groups are also good. You can make a profile on these groups and they help to break the ice with other members of your group.

CHOOSING A GOOD TIME TO HAVE A STUDY MEETING

Most often, when a study group was formed, everyone got together first after class to decide when we would meet. Some people would want to have the study group meet after class. Some would want to meet before class (that was usually my idea). Others thought meeting an extra time before a test of quiz would be helpful. We all voted for which time everyone could make it. Most times, my groups decided to meet before class every week or two. This would not require an extra commute to school, and it was handy to meet at an area in the same building as the class so we could go right to class after we met.

DIVIDING UP THE WORK

We had some hard tests and quizzes to prepare for; so my study groups usually divided the work in to sections. One person covered one subject or question, and the others did the rest. We made quiz cards up, too, and brought them to the meetings. Sometimes we quizzed each other, using cards or questions we brought in. This helped a lot to focus in on what we did and didn’t know – and helped each of us know what we needed to study the most.

Plus, making the cards helped us learn the material, too. The effort of writing down questions helped me learn the facts better. We also helped each other by reminding each other about assignments and answered each other’s questions.

MAKING THE MEETINGS

Sometimes, work or family responsibilities interfered with meetings, and some people could not come to one or more meetings. But usually, we still had enough people there to make each study group worthwhile. I found that having more than two total people in the study group really made sense. If I only had another person, if that person missed the study group meeting, I wouldn’t be able to study with someone at all, and it was a waste of time. This didn’t matter as much with three or more people in the group.

ASKING PEOPLE ABOUT BEING IN A STUDY GROUP

I was shy at first to ask people around me about being in a study group. But I knew I needed the help, and I knew that others probably did, too. I had to force myself to ask people around me. I tried to ask people before class, or at least before the teacher got there. And, of course, I asked people who I thought were smart, had a good work ethic, and seemed friendly. Also, because I asked people who were there early, I got the most motivated students to join. I would stop asking after four or five people said yes, because a larger group than that seemed too big.

Then I made a list with everyone’s name, phone number and email on it, and gave everyone mine too. I asked everyone if we could talk after class and decide when to meet after that. If anyone had a class right after that, we offered to phone or email that person to find out when was good for him or her. But usually it didn’t take long to decide when was good for everyone.

Everything just fell into place easily after that. We all decided when to meet and how often, and whether or not to have special study sessions right before a test. Sometimes we met in the class building, and sometimes other places on campus.

After I started my first study group, other groups became easier to start, because I got used to it and wasn’t so shy or nervous about it. I was surprised to find that a lot of other people thought a study group was a good idea, too!

SOME PEOPLE SAID NO

Not everyone wanted to be in a study group. When I asked people around me in class if they wanted to be in a study group, some people just said no. I didn’t let this bother me. Even if only two or three people would be interested, I figured that it still was a big enough group. The biggest group I had when I was in college was about six people. The smallest was two (which I don’t recommend because sometimes somebody forgets about it, and then you don’t get a good benefit from it. But if that is all the members you can get, then I would do it anyway.

WHAT MY STUDY GROUPS ACCOMPLISHED

I truly believe that having study groups for class (especially for difficult classes) made a huge difference in my grades. I think it helped at least one grade mark every time I was in a study group. Also, study groups really helped before tests. Talking with others and hearing what they thought would be on the test really made me remember facts a lot better than just trying to cram them in on my own.

Plus, many times, the people in the study group had noticed points the teacher said that weren’t even in my notes at all! Then I would see these things on the test and remember them. What a great boost that was. I found that I felt more prepared and wasn’t so nervous before tests, too. That helped me so much.

The other people in my study groups told me that they were also glad they joined the group. They said it made learning so much easier for them. I agreed with them!

AN ADDED BENEFIT TO STUDY GROUPS

I believe that I really connected better with other students by being in a study group with them. We would sometimes talk about other things besides class, and that made the study groups a lot more fun. We got to know more personal things about each other – like what everybody’s lives were like at home, and what people’s hobbies and interests were. It was a great way to make friends. Most of the people in each group were a lot younger, but when we had the time (at study group time) to get to know each other, it make it easy to be friends. That made going to class and studying a lot more fun.

I now had people I actually KNEW in class with me. It made being in class a lot more comfortable. I found that it was more fun waiting for the teacher to get there, and also made group work more enjoyable. And today some of us still keep in touch. I feel like I really made some good friends this way. I also felt more connected.

It was just easier to be in class, and also less intimidating. I was so much more comfortable – – and people talked to me more, too. It was a win-win situation to get to know people in my study groups, plus it really helped improve my grades.

So… I would definitely recommend being in a study group if you are taking a face-to-face class or in an online class. It sure helped me!

The Great Crash Ahead by Harry S Dent, Jr With Rodney Johnson – Book Review

Synopsis of Content: Harry Dent has been confounding the “experts” for twenty years by predicting economic and financial trends and markets based largely on demographic data and economic cycles.

This is his fifth book in a series that has predicted economic trends. If Harry Dent is right yet again everyone should be reading this book! Dent’s thesis is relatively simple enough: he submits that demographic trends drive economic cycles that have been predictable for several centuries and that these cycles drive the economy regardless of much else that is going on.

This fifth book traces that giant “baby boom” generation – 92 million people in the US born between 1946 and 1964 who have had the greatest impact on our economy and society in the past half century. He explains how this large demographic changes demand for goods and services as they pass through different phases from the explosion of school construction in the 1960s to educate them to through the strong economy of the 1990s and early 2000s when they were at the peak of their consumptive period.

The Great Crash Ahead now predicts an economic depression from 2008-2018 or longer due to the aging of this demographic and its reduced demand for goods and services. Combined with misguided government and financial policies this cycle built a giant “bubble” for real estate and credit during the first decade of the 21st century. This period from 2001-2007 was seen as a good time with easy credit and easy access to home ownership.

All bubbles in the economy are self-correcting. Dent describes how the correction in this credit and housing bubble combined with the steady reduction in spending by the largest group of Americans is working to create the worst financial depression since the 1930s. He weaves through this the over extension of credit both to the government and the private sector and how it cannot be quickly repaired. This then inevitably leads to failures of the financial markets and significant price deflation for the next decade. Dent does not limit himself to the US. He explains how similar bubbles and demographic trends led to the depressed Japanese economy for the past 20 years and will lead to similar problems in Europe and China.

Dent bases much of this on an 80 year cycle of boom and bust that his research shows has repeated itself many times over the past several hundred years. Now 80 years after the great depression we are again in the “winter” of this cycle which will last ten to fifteen years before a new spring will lead to a slow recovery in the 2020s.

It is difficult to ignore Dent’s theory. In the late 1980s he predicted the demise of the Japanese economy when most economists and pundits were bullish on Japan. Likewise in the 1990s when many were predicting difficult times for the US economy Dent was predicting the boom of the 1990s and early 2000s. The book traces the failure of government to correct this cycle because it simply cannot do so. It examines the huge private and government debt which must be paid off or written down to restore the economy. His macro predictions have been spot on so far, making it foolish to ignore what he says now. If he is wrong it will be the first time in his three decades of predictions and if he is right we are in for some tough times.

At the end of the book Dent gives advice for how we can use this information to protect assets, invest wisely in this “new” world. He teaches how to forget the way of doing things that we learned over the past half century and learn how to adapt to a new economy.

To be sure Dent has his critics. A quick Google of his name and books shows a number of highly critical articles arguing that Dent assumes too much, that his analysis while technically impressive overlooks other factors that will influence the economy beyond his demographic predictions and some who offer complex Elliott wave analysis suggesting that Dent has it wrong.

At the same time he has some impressive supporters. David Bach, John Thomas, Kim and Charles Githler, and a long list of others endorse his book. I cannot say for sure whether Dent is right or the critics are – but if he is right, he bears consideration. Again, while some of the details of his predictions may not have always panned out perfectly one cannot overlook or dismiss the general accuracy of his predictions to date.

Usefulness: It must be noted that any predictions of future economic trends and behaviors are inherently fraught with risk. However if Dent’s predictions in this book are as accurate as his past analysis this will prove very useful to anyone saving for retirement, investing, running a business or choosing a career.

Readability/Writing Quality: Dent writes clearly and well. The book is full of rather complex economic and demographic analysis. It is not an easy book to read but well worth the effort to understand.

Notes on Author: Harry Dent is an author and head of the HS Dent Financial Advisor Network. He publishes a regular financial newsletter. He is author of The Great Boom Ahead, The Roaring 2000s Investor, The Next Great Bubble Boom and The Great Depression Ahead.

Three Great Ideas You Can Use:

1. The economy is driven primarily by demographic trends which in turn drive economic cycles. External activities including wars, natural disasters and government actions have a minimal effect on these trends. Understanding these cycles and trends is critical to plan for the future and protect investments.

2. In the later part of the first decade of this century we have entered a winter phase of a very large 80 year demographic and economic cycle. Nothing the government does will change this. This winter cycle will lead to large debt restructuring, market corrections and deflation. The period between 2008-2018 will look much like 1930-1940.

3. Understanding this mega trend and its inevitable consequences is essential to investing wisely over the next decade to protect current assets and exploit the winter economy.

Quarantine Anxiety

Staying indoors, reading, watching television and doing whatever you wanted sounded great when we were kids. No school, relaxing, being waiting on, and noodle soup. What a life… for about three days. After the third day, one became bored and irritable. Everyone was outside playing, after school, and we were stuck in the house. It was a relief to return to school, regardless of the homework and tests.

It’s a little different today and maybe not so much. In the beginning it

felt kind of cozy to have a few days off from the hustle and bustle of life. Sort of fun to have family around and nice homemade meals. It was a good time to catch up on little things you’ve been putting off. So, closets were cleaned, emails answered and fun foods were stocked up on. Fun and kind of safe.

The truth is that kind of safe is not safe enough and it’s really important to move past the irritation of being cooped up, and realize how essential it really is, for everyone. Someone gave the example of Anne Frank and her 761 days in hiding. Eight people in a 450 ft. space. They had no choice, and their lives depended on not being discovered.

Here are some ideas about how to keep a cool head while in quarantine:

Grateful

Be thankful you are being protected by doing the simple task of avoiding crowds of people. Be happy that you now have the opportunity to become more self-aware, to read books, watch films and develop a stronger relationship with family members. This might be something you look back upon with fond memories.

Anxiety Reactions

Remember that anxiety and panic attacks are triggered by thoughts. Be aware of how you are thinking and be mindful of your perspective on each situation. You have a choice about how you view each situation, your surroundings and life in general. You have complete control over how you view everything around you, which can make or break your reactions. Be aware of how many “what if” sentences you say to yourself because these two little words can trigger the release of adrenaline. If you feel anxious, allow it to go through you without trying to stop it. It is your fear and running from the symptoms that fuel them. Keep busy and move around. Exercising, dancing and even cleaning closets are enough to reabsorb the adrenaline released anxiety caused by your worried “what if” thinking.

Boost Serotonin

You can naturally boost Serotonin (the feel good chemical in the brain) by making a few simple changes in your routine. Eating a lean protein with every meal and snack. Real food protein (poultry, meat, fish or dairy), not protein bars. A complex carb (no protein at this time) before bed, such as toast, bagel, whole grain cereal, whole grain crackers. This will release the Serotonin in the brain, resulting in a good night’s rest and feeling happier in the morning. Walking outdoors, since natural light boosts Serotonin through the optic nerve. Even if it’s not sunny, it’s still brighter than indoors and will boost Serotonin in the brain.

Creativity

This is the time to use your creativity and come up with interesting things to fill your time. Find that book you’ve always wanted to read or film you’ve always wanted to watch. Plan a daily workout routine because being outdoors is nourishing to both mind and body. You might want to redecorate or paint your bedroom or another room in your house. Organizing closets, kitchen and desks can also be very satisfying.

Social Media

Keep in contact with friends and family online and through phone calls. You don’t have to physically be with someone to enjoy their company. There are also online card games you can play with two or more friends, as well as other group games that are fun. Share your feelings with friends and you’ll notice the similarities everyone shares during this time.

Contact the Elderly

It’s important to stay in touch with elderly family members. Being outdoors is fine and waving to grandparents through windows or dropping off food packages to them will be greatly appreciated. Remember, these are the people who love and miss you. They too were never quarantined and it’s difficult for them as well. Showing them you are thinking of them is a priceless gift that will always be remembered. Helping others takes us out of our own worried heads.

Outdoor Activity

Being outdoors is an incredible way to break the cycle of boredom. Gardening is a proven way to lift your spirits as well. There are microbes found in the soil that have similar effects on the brain as Prozac minus the side effects and chemical dependency. Playing tennis is fun and you will still be maintaining distance between you and your partner. A walk in itself is a mood lifter and all around feel good exercise. You’ll sleep better, enjoy a healthy appetite and boost the feel good chemicals in the brain.

Cooking

Now might be a good time to try a few new recipes and experience the joy of cooking. Baking is an opportunity to make delicious and most times healthier desserts, the whole family can enjoy. Everyone loves the cook, so this is a good way to show your family how much you care, receiving all their gratitude in return.

Online Classes and Activities

This might be a good time to take advantage of online classes. There are many free courses being offered and a wonderful opportunity to learn something new and fun. Art instruction, painting, printing, drawing, are all available online. Exercise and yoga classes are also available. Cooking classes, dance classes and home workouts can also be fun. For the kids there are celebrities reading books to children who are home from school. There are also creative art projects and crafts to keep your children occupied during this time. Spiritual classes are also beginning along with your favorite authors offering interesting YouTube instructions.

Most of all, know that we are all in this together. We all share the same feelings and worries. Talk it out with someone you trust. It helps greatly to voice your fears and hear reassurance from someone else who is going through it as well.

Top 5 Tips For Hassle-Free Winter Grilling

Most people would pack up their grill when the cold weather starts to set in. Contrary to popular belief, grilling is not only for the summer time – it can be enjoyed year round. Some would even say that winter is a great time for a barbecue because nothing will warm you up better than a sizzling piece of grilled steak!

Here are 5 useful winter grilling tips to try for some nice cold weather barbecue:

Find a good spot to grill

When you grill during winter, you not only need to fight the cold, but the winds, too. On the day you are grilling, identify the direction that the wind blows most often and find a good spot that would protect you from it while you’re cooking, ideally near your house or a structure. Another good spot would be near where your supplies are (like your kitchen) to lessen the number of steps you have to take from there to your grill.

Have extra fuel

It’s important to remember that you will use up more gas or propane when the weather is cold, so be sure to have some extra – you don’t want to run out of fuel in the middle of grilling!

Adjust heating and cooking times

It’s always a good thing to warm up your grill before cooking, but during winter, give your grill a little more time to do so. Some of the parts may be frozen so warm it up in advance. When it comes to cooking, adjusting your time is ideal as well. What would normally cook quickly in warm weather will take longer in the cold. Experts say that a good rule of thumb would be to have an additional 20 minutes cooking time for each pound below 45F.

Choose what to grill wisely

Unless you want to be out in the cold grilling for a significant amount of time, choose food that generally have a quicker cooking time. Smaller or thinner cuts of meat such as chicken breasts, pork loins, thin steaks and kebabs. To keep your cooked food warm while you finish grilling the rest, store cooked food in a cast iron pan – just take them off the grill a few minutes early as they would continue to cook a little more while inside the pan.

Protect yourself

While your grill is good to go, you should be, too! Protect yourself from the harsh elements by wearing the appropriate clothing – a comfy coat, scarf, hat and boots would do. Consider investing in fingerless gloves or mittens to maintain dexterity while grilling.

You’ll be ready to grill like a pro in cold weather by following these 5 tips for winter grilling!

Choose a Good Wedding DJ to Boost the Mood of Your Party

We always want to have a good time. Even if only for a short while, we want to have a day away from our work and spend good time with our friends and loved ones. That sometimes leads to planning a party. Regardless of the occasion, celebrations or simple gatherings between friends and relatives, you should make every bit of it special. It becomes even more special when you are getting married.

When you are preparing for your wedding, you should make sure that every guest has a very good time throughout the reception. Of course you can’t tend to them because you yourself are enjoying the moment. You can do so by having good music served to your guests by a professional Wedding DJ.

A wedding DJ can help you by entertaining your guests with music that could boost the atmosphere of your venue. A disc jockey can help you by inviting your guests to the dance floor and keep them enjoying every minute of your party.

Everything starts with choosing the right wedding DJ. Remember that when making a selection, make sure that the one you hire can make your party a blast. First impressions always last, so when you are surfing the net take a look at the quality of the DJ’s website and make sure it is professional. Next, you should have to talk about business. Most professional DJs will accept partial payments leading up to your event. Many of them will require you pay a deposit up front and pay the balance on or close to the date of the event. But if they require full payment up front, it may be time for you to choose another DJ, for your own safety.

Now that you have chosen a DJ, you can select the type of music that you want them to play. This is important because the music carries the mood of the party. You should discuss this with your DJ beforehand, because sometimes your guests might suggest different types of music because they want to change the mood. A DJ has his own personal taste of music and can sometimes leave out those songs or types of music that he doesn’t like. So you must discuss all the possible song requests that your guests might suggest.

In every deal, make sure that you have a contract signed. This is a sign of professionalism. When you have a contract you can guarantee that you can have their services in full or else you can have your money back if something happened and you had to cancel their work. This will act as your supporting document if something bad happens.

What Kind Of Businesses Are Well Suited For Video Marketing?

Video marketing is a great way to get viewers to your website and to help increase sales for your business. There are some businesses in which video marketing is a great fit and can especially helpful. This article will highlight a few of these businesses and why video marketing is a good fit for these business types.

#1: Restaurant

Whenever people think of restaurants, they think of mouth-watering images of food. Often times, they will see pictures that will build up their appetites. With video marketing, you can do much to improve your restaurant’s image. For example, you can put up a video showing the actual cooking and preparation involved in your restaurant’s food. This will help establish your restaurant as the kind that uses fresh ingredients and actual cooking as opposed to the kind that takes shortcuts like many of the big restaurants do. You can also give the viewers the real sense of what good food looks like by spending some time on each video to discuss certain dishes that you would highlight as the heart and soul of your restaurant. Videos are definitely a great asset for any restaurant.

#2: Children’s Services

If you’re the owner of a business which involves children, videos are an excellent way to market. For example, if you are the owner of a birthday party service, it would be a great idea to put up a video of children having fun at a birthday party. This gives the viewers an idea of the kind of fun their children can expect. Another good example is if you are the owner of a child care facility. You can use video marketing to show children doing fun activities and having a good time.

#3: Coffee Shop

One of the highlights of a coffee shop is the preparation that goes into making the coffee. Video marketing is an excellent way to show how the coffee is made and the service that is offered by the baristas. Another highlight of coffee shops is their inviting environment. Having spent numerous amounts of time in coffee shops, I can speak to how important the environment inside of a coffee shop is. Videos can be used to convey what the inside of a coffee shop is like such as the lighting, the alignment of chairs and tables, as well as the different activities available.

How To Identify A Great Concrete Pool Builder

Investing in a swimming area in your homestead will revolutionize both your lifestyle and home by making it a great place to live. Having it constructed well will go a long way in adding class and value to your home and this can only be possible if you get the services from a great concrete pool builder. There are so many builders available out there and it is therefore important to learn the tips on how to identify the most suitable to work on your swimming area.

You have to check if the concrete pool builder you are considering for the job uses 3D design software. You can check if after the first meeting with him where you supply him with all the details that you need including the design and style, he undertakes to create an impression to show you the final and actual look of your swimming area.
