Additional note about On-The-Spot: Most people have tried pimple creams like this... The key that I have found that actually gets really good results is using it every day, and in a good amount all over the area that breaks out. (And even on days that you are not broken out to prevent the break outs...

CG, I have struggled with this since a teenager as well. One thing to do is make sure your hormones are in check, that has been a major factor for me. Using a mineral makeup like bareminerals helped a lot and also improved the actual texture of my skin within a couple weeks. Exfoliate more often, I ...

Lazzzycat, If you don't have the medical related phobias, then it probably won't help you much to read up on that particularly. Basically, people who get panic attacks in those situations have a different physical response. It starts out the same when faced with a phobia/anxious event, increased hea...

Lazzzycat, That happens to me and it is the symptom I hate the most! I have blacked out a good amount of times over the years. It feels horrible! I know! There is a situation where people DO faint in the midst of the attack...do you have medical/blood/injury phobias? If so, this is a situation where...

Well guys, I am just north of Galveston....about 20-25 minutes. We have decided to ride out the storm! It doesn't look like the traffic is too bad for those evacuating. Last time, with Rita, people were driving for 15 to 24 hours just to get well out of Houston! Some people took 1 1/2 to 2 days just...

One other point...you are right about being assertive and not aggressive. Sometimes it is a fine line. I know it is even more difficult when you are very passive and let people walk all over you, and then make that transition. It tends to make you go the extreme in the opposite direction. The key po...

David...that's a good point to consider! Drg, you think you will actually be able to understand men? ;) Just kidding. I know they sometimes feel/think the same way about us. I am glad to hear you got out of an abusive relationship and are a much stronger person for it! You should have much respect f...

Tommy, I am inspired by your courage! You are obviously a person who knows that you have to be willing to take risks to get where you want to go. That shows clearly with you stepping out there and starting your own business. I think that it is GREAT and courageous to get out of that job without lett...

Hey guys! I just wanted to say how much using the "What if" in a positive sense has helped me. Lucinda talks about it in one of her sessions. Not only is it helpful to counter the negative thoughts with positive ones, I found it really helpful to use positive what ifs! For example, when I was gettin...

The only problem you have is giving these comments too much importance! There is nothing wrong with knowing what you want and being able/confident enough to express it!! You will have the things you want for your life because you are not afraid to be clear about it. Anyone who is threatened or too i...
