How to Love the Unlovable

1. Date someone who can delay gratification. In other words, the ability to do an unpleasant thing instead of an enjoyable thing in order to achieve a more-important benefit. Being in a healthy partnership means being able to suck it up and deal with all kinds of unpleasant things (embarrassment, vulnerability, taking out the trash, resisting acting on angry impulses, actively listening instead of playing video games, running a boring errand, etc....

But wait a minute… if we compare the numbers with the statistics in the past, we can observe that war against nations is actually going out of fashion. Again, based on the available figures, the world’s population is blossoming like never before. Let’s leave that issue for a while and take a look at globalization, instead. It’s undeniable that there has been a steady flow of materials written to convey the negative effects of globalization, but come to think of it, this video boldly declares something monumentally positive about globalization....

Pay Attention – Series on Awareness – [MindBodyBlog] Everyday suffering is the easiest to ignore and the hardest to release. Think about how little things can affect your mood: waking up in the morning, choice of food, a negative comment from a spouse or friend, or physical pain.

What Do These Studies Mean? The British studies conducted to try to predict risk factors for skin cancer zero’d in on the number of moles that a person has on their body. One thing that seems clear is that people who have a greater number of moles on their bodies overall, also have a greater risk of getting skin cancer. Many physicians don’t perform a count during routine exams unless there is a concern....

First, why your body shakes when you nearly fall asleep? Neurologists explained when we start to enter the “Slow wave sleep” stage, we experience a separation between brains and muscles so that we won’t move when we dream. So it’s a normal situation that most of us would experience and it’s just like a disconnection performed in our bodies. It doesn’t imply that we have any hidden diseases. Before we wake up, our minds and muscles will reconnect so it’s also common for us to shake before we wake up....

In the comments, lapka asked if there were any tricks for people who have a hard time showing up on time, and through a little bit of research and a little bit of self-examination, I think I have some answers. First of all, though, it’s important to see being on time as part of your whole attitude towards time. You’re never going to be on time, every time — whether for appointments, meeting big deadlines, or even to catch a movie — if you haven’t put into practice a set of good time management techniques....

I remember the day I graduated high school. I was sure that my identity struggles and career struggles would take care of themselves. My peers and I eagerly went off to college and pursued different paths, but for some reason, I never seemed to find my path as quickly as I thought I would. I changed majors three times, had a slight identity crisis, dealt with some major points of grief, and spent most of my early twenties figuring out what I would finally finish up my college degree with....

When you see a pimple rearing its ugly head, it can be tempting to pop it. It’ll get rid of some of the pressure, and maybe the blemish will look a little less obvious for your event. That sense of relief is short-lived. Not only can you cause scars that are difficult to conceal, but popping that zit can also spread bacteria and cause more blemishes. Then there are the horror stories, such as the woman from Austin, Texas, who popped a pimple and paved the way for a nasty staph infection on her face....

1. Engage in small, controlled and thorough discussion of…nearly anything. Introverts, while generally avoiding being the center of attention, completely enjoy intimate conversation. Because they desire to engage in solitary activities, they tend to be proficient in many areas. The difference is that introverts do not feel comfortable showing off that knowledge or talent. If you can create a comfortable situation in which introverts will feel safe expressing their views or opinions, they will very likely have a lot to say, and, better yet, be correct in saying it....

Another point against it is that not everyone from around the world can use it, which cuts you off from several different markets, but some of the other payment systems share this problem, although they run a much tighter ship.
