		<description><![CDATA[ There is a common misconception in the world that having Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a bad thing While the ADD-wired brain certainly presents some challenges, it also offers some incredible benefits The following is a list of characteristics that I consistently see in my clients, friends, and colleagues with ADD 1 Compassion People with ADD have a tremendous power to connect with other people But it goes a step further than that We also have an advanced ability to empathize with others, and to see many different perspectives 2 Creativity I've never met an ADDer who wasn't creative! Writers, painters, musicians, film makers, designers, sculptors, comedians - the list goes on! Artistic talents are abundant Composers Mozart and Beethoven are believed to have had ADD 3 Drive When an ADDer is bored with a task, completing it can seem like torture But give an ADDer an interesting project to work on and watch out! When we want to succeed, and we have the necessary tools to do so, there is no stopping us! 4 Problem Solving Ability ADDers thrive on solving problems and puzzles Give us an interesting problem to solve and we won't be able to drop it until we've found the solution! Important historical inventors such as Thomas Edison and Thomas Jefferson are believed to have had ADD 5 Hyper-Focus The ability to hyper-focus is something that ADDers can use to our advantage When kept under control and directed towards productive tasks, like accomplishing goals and living dreams, it can be an incredible asset that allows us to get the job done, and done well! 6 Sense of Humor/Comedic Flair Most ADDers love to laugh, and many also have a knack for making others laugh! Famous comedians such as Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams are rumored to have ADD 7 Resiliency There's no denying that even though there are many great qualities that come along with ADD, there are also challenges But ADDers have an incredible ability to bounce back from those challenges, and others' criticism of those challenges that we've endured 8 Intuition ADDers have a sharp sense of intuition This may be due to highly tuned levels of perception, or great insight into the human mind, or something else that we have yet to understand Whatever the reason, it's a very useful gift! 9 Idea Generating ADDers are wonderful idea generators We don't usually like to be bothered with details, but we can come up with ideas at lightning speed! We're a true asset in brainstorming meetings! 10 That "Special Something" Many ADDers feel that they have a unique way of looking at the world, a perspective that others just don't understand That is, until the ADDer meets other people with ADD! You might say that we're on our own wavelength! Jennifer Koretsky is a Professional ADD Management Coach who helps adults manage their ADD and move forward in life She encourages clients to increase self-awareness, focus on strengths and talents, and create realistic action plans She offers a 90-day intensive skill-building program, workshops, and private coaching Her work has been featured in numerous media, including The New York Times Magazine and The Times (UK) To subscribe to Jennifer’s free email newsletter, The ADD Management Guide, please visit http://wwwaddmanagementcom/e-newsletterhtm ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The art and science of permanent makeup goes by many different names: micropigmentation, permanent cosmetics, derma pigmentation, intradermal cosmetics, dermagraphics and cosmetic tattoos As the procedures associated with permanent makeup become more main stream the public becomes more aware of the benefits, especially for individuals that suffer from illness, disease, injury or scarring In my recent article "Building a Bridge: Cosmetic Surgery and Micropigmentation" I explored the relationship between cosmetic surgery and permanent makeup I would now like to discuss how permanent makeup can work as part of the solution for a variety of medical conditions Physicians as Partners According to the Third Edition of "Medical Issues for Permanent Cosmetic Technicians" published by the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals "permanent cosmetic professionals are part of a new and exciting trend in the aesthetic medical arena" It goes on to say that plastic surgery and dermatology centers are now offering permanent makeup procedures in order to attract new patients At times physicians recommend permanent makeup to compliment other cosmetic procedures, such as Botox or a face lift, but it also helps the patient feel better about themselves and the way they look during or after a difficult illness or injury The artistic eye of a trained permanent makeup practitioner can analyze color and form to achieve the best look when the doctor has exhausted medical and surgical options Know Your Medical History It is important that the permanent cosmetic professional inquire into a client's medical history For specific medical related issues the physician should approve the procedure Healing time and the strength of the immune system are incredibly important Some of the most common medical conditions that warrant permanent makeup are cancer patients experiencing hair loss due to chemotherapy and areola repigmentation after breast reconstruction It is preferable to have permanent makeup applied before chemotherapy or in the early stages of treatment to reduce stress and promote healing A Doctor's release should be provided Permanent makeup can also be used to assist patients that suffer from Vitiligo-the absence of pigmentation in the skin, Trichotillomania-a condition that causes compulsive plucking of hair or Alopecia-a condition that leads to complete or partial hair loss Permanent makeup can also help Hypothyroid patients who have thinning eyebrows Individuals who have recently had a facelift or plastic surgery should wait until their physician has determined they are healed, this can take six months or more, but patience will guard against infection Anyone with medical issues that create a higher risk for infection, such as an artificial hip, mitral vale prolapse or autoimmune disorders should be on an antibiotic If you are on medication consult your doctor, it is essential that you do your homework Toxicity Issues and Camouflaging Scars Permanent makeup is also a viable alternative for individuals that suffer from allergies or toxicity issues Patients should talk with their doctors about potential side effects related to pigments then consult a trained permanent makeup practitioner In many situations the pigments are less toxic than applying conventional cosmetics every day Individuals that suffer from arthritis, loss of vision or neurological problems that cause painful or unsteady movement of the hands can also enjoy the freedom achieved through permanent makeup In her book "The Essence of Beauty" Dr Adrianna Scheibner, MD says in Chapter 9 "the applications of the procedure [derma pigmentation] within the realm of medicine are numerous" "In the past few years," Scheibner continues, "corrective camouflaging has emerged as a useful service to dermatologists and plastic surgeons when they can no longer medically improve a patient's appearance" Camouflage, applied by an experienced permanent makeup professional, is a tricky procedure In the "Procedures of Macro-Theory Dermagraphics" printed by the American Institute of Permanent Color Technology it states that "the application of camouflage is unlike any other procedurewhen applying camouflage you actually are taking something away, or diminishing something that already exists, from the skin Because of this, camouflaging is an imperfect procedure" Camouflaging is difficult and the results never exact Camouflaging strives to recreate the skin's natural appearance; realistic expectations are essential with this type of procedure Also, when seeking assistance with scar camouflage the procedure should be done when scars are a pale white color, not red or pink There are many potential issues when a candidate for permanent makeup suffers from illness or injury The permanent makeup professional you choose should have experience and provide you with referrals from previous clients and a portfolio An experienced permanent makeup professional will know the right questions to ask during your initial consultation and will guide you through the safest and healthiest way to looking your best To learn more about permanent makeup visit my web site wwwDawnColorscom ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A new British study discovered that an active sex life and creativity may go hand-in-hand The research revealed that professional artists and poets have about twice as many sexual partners as other people According to the researchers, while writers and artists from Byron to Picasso have perpetuated the notion of the amorous artist, the new study may be the first to offer up some real proof "Creative people are often considered to be very attractive and get lots of attention as a result They tend to be charismatic and produce art and poetry that grab people's interest," said the study author Dr Daniel Nettle, a lecturer in psychology at Newcastle University's School of Biology The study of 425 British citizens included a sampling of visual artists and poets The participants were asked about how much poetry and visual art they created, their psychiatric history, and their sexual encounters since age 18 More sexual partners for creatives In comparison to an average of 3 for non-creative people, the average number of sexual partners for poets and creative artists was between 4 and 10 The investigators reported in the November 29 issue of The Proceedings of the Royal Society that the more creative a person was, the higher the number of sexual adventures Nettle speculated that sexual exploration may be encouraged by the artistic personality "It could also be that very creative types lead a bohemian lifestyle and tend to act on more sexual impulses and opportunities, often purely for experience's sake, than the average person would," he said "Moreover, it's common to find that this sexual behaviour is tolerated in creative people Partners, even long-term ones, are less likely to expect loyalty and fidelity from them" ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Music, Dance and Your Sanity "To do science? To really do science? You don't live in the world," he says "You live in an attitude" Gerald M Edelman, MD, PhD, founder of the Neurosciences Institute, La Jolla, California Following this same concept, "In Real Estate and Business it's about Living in an Attitude!" Ted Borgeas, "From the Chicken Coop" The benefits of music and dance during the decision making of buying or selling your home has extended as far back as Aristotle and Plato Even Reigning Monarchs had court musicians and dancers, for their entertainment but possibly for the relaxing affects from their stresses of boredom? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Recently, I saw an exhibition of paintings by a very talented artist He clearly has a social conscience and his depictions of the pain and misery of disenfranchised and minority people are so vivid and real you can't help but feel the pain in viewing the paintings The artist is a warm, friendly, humble man whom I approached with a question, "does he ever paint another side of life?" He seemed interested in engaging in a conversation about it and frankly I was surprised at myself for even approaching him I have never considered myself either knowledgeable or beyond too shy to talk about art to an artist this way But, I felt compelled and in hindsight I know why As a ‘60's activist and an angry idealist, I would have wanted his pictures out there in the face of those whom I and he blamed for the social injustices he expressed so people would realize and wake up Well, decades later, I now know that doesn't work I felt very strongly the pain of his pictures, couldn't view them for long, and also knew if he wanted people to buy them and take them home, he'd have a very small audience I asked if he'd consider using his brilliant artistic ability to inspire by painting beauty I was surprised at what I was saying, because I have obviously metamorphosed from who I was in the past About a year ago, I decided that the 11:00 pm news was not a good pre-bedtime story and stopped watching it If you look closely you will note that the “stories” are not necessarily chosen for their importance and useful information, but for entertainment and sensationalism I can honestly say, my sense of well being has improved When I watched the 11:00 pm news, my anxiety level heightened and with that I foolishly tried to begin a restful night's sleep As I thought about this man's art, honest as it is, it does not depict most of life My new thoughts are that if we flood the world with goodness, inspirations, success, potential and love, my bet would be we'd get more of it We don't get beauty by flooding the world with pain and horror That just makes most people want to run away into denial The question I ask is, do you get more impetus for social change by showing people what is ugly or what is beautiful: what they want less of or more of? As a coach I concentrate on helping my clients identify what they have that they want more of and downplay the opposite My vote is that an atmosphere of goodness, beauty, open-mindedness, ability, talent, strengths and love will produce more of the same Ugliness will produce more ugliness Is this social art equivalent to the sensationalism of the 11 o'clock news]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Keeping a journal is a form of creative expression that enhances the creativity coaching process Keeping a journal develops emotional awareness, reinforces self-esteem and aids in problem-solving Keeping a journal also provides a written record of artistic growth, struggle and change Here are some basic exercises that I use throughout the creativity coaching process DIALOGUE: Writing a dialogue between one or more subjects helps to identify and separate emotions, ideas, issues and influences in a given creative situation The primary result of writing dialogue is to clarify the creative situation, to give voice to all aspects of the situation and to restore the situation to it's proper perspective GRATITUDE LIST: Thank you lists are very easy to write It takes no more than a few seconds, some paper and a pen to create a list Thank you lists, no matter what the length, powerfully challenge negative thoughts, disappointment and disouragement Lists also help restore the situaition to it's rightful place in the clients creative pocess Thank you lists are especially useful when pursuing long-term goals and facing crises COMPLETED ACTION LIST: What a client thinks can powerfully impact the creative process Building an artistic career upon past negative artistic experiences blocks creative expression It also leaves no room for the possiblitiy of current or future positive change Keeping track of completed actions, no matter how small, provides an accurate record of the client's progress toward her artistic and business goals GOAL LIST: Identifying and developing artistic and business goals, provides a clear path for fullfilling the client's dreams Regular progress through each goal can become a ready source of motivation for the client The goal list provides a reality check for boh the client and the coach, when difficulties rise or progress is being assessed CHARACTER TRAITS LIST: Developing and maintaining a list of the character traits reinforces self-esteem, aids in problem-solving, and increases emotional awareness The client describes one success using one character trait The client learns to acknowledge her participation in the creative process which will encrourage future creative learning and growth Keeping a journal of creative work and progress can enrich all areas of an artist's life Start exploring your creativity today Copyright 2005 Writer's Eye Advisory Service About The Author Lael Johnson, owner of Writer's Eye Advisory Service, offers creativity coaching services and writing resources at: wwwwriterseyecom ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jack Webb’s famous line from the old Dragnet TV show resounds in my head as I sort through my hopes, wishes—and fears—about my goals in life To shift myself from listening to the negative comments of my mind, I imagine his crusty character, Sergeant Friday, barking at me “Just the facts, Sir!” Sgt Friday was so respectful on the surface—and so realistic at the core Realistic because facts are practical and powerful We can use facts to counteract the invalidation of our Inner Critic, that constant self-talk that keeps telling us we’re no good and that nothing will ever work out Facts Speak Louder than Fantasy Hopes and wishes are empty fantasy unless they manifest as hardcore reality Facts are reality—so they hit home Facts impress and convince our Western rational mind Heeding Sgt Friday’s blunt advice, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the creative power of “just the facts” to attract the realities I desire in my life You, too, can use a factual Gains Book to propel you over the goal line of your life journey! The Power of Past Peak Performance Positive thoughts are very helpful to create what we want in our life Positive experiences are even more effective! I’ve noticed that people who are happy, successful human beings invariably refer to one or more moments in their lives in which they enjoyed a peak experience And not only do these resourceful people make reference to these extraordinary times; they draw strength, wisdom and compassion from these glimpses of their own true power and aliveness They’ve learned how to tap into these past occasions of heightened awareness and achievement in order to surmount present life challenges Whether it be excellence in athletic or artistic expression, or triumph in business or romance, these potent factual encounters of “transcendence of the ordinary” act as wellsprings of inspiration and inventiveness that enable us to overcome any limitation A Gains Book is a way to document your personal successes and breakthroughs in all aspects of life Putting your achievements in black and white helps keep this positive factual evidence from sinking into the unconscious and forgetfulness—and also from being discounted or denied in the future by that part of us that just doesn’t want us to feel good or get ahead As Sgt Friday suggests, it’s paramount to keep your Gains Journaling focused on the concrete, specific facts of what you have successfully accomplished in your life A Fact Book draws its strength from truth, not feelings of hopin’ and wishin’ The mind—the invalidating, judging programmed ego—can’t invalidate or argue with facts Your Inner Critic might try to talk you out of happiness, but your written record of actual achievement will win out every time! A Gains Book is also effective because it focuses creative attention on what’s already working in your life, instead of what isn’t working in your life (the focus of the mind) You are taking full advantage of the Law of Attraction—like vibration attracts like vibration When you spend your time and attention in the vibration of happy, fulfilling life experiences, then you attract more of the same Experiment and Customize Individualize the way you do your Gains Book Tailor it you and your style One word or a short phrase can remind you of complete satisfying experiences Write in a pocketsize notebook, a snazzy journal or on the computer keyboard Keep a tape recorder handy to record your triumphs when the inspiration hits Documenting your life attainments has many other dynamic benefits A factual Gains Book will: Empower You As you write a few gains each day, your recognition of what’s important—what’s worthy of your attention and time— becomes clearer And you’ll be acknowledging your current successes—thereby, validating that you can create as much, if not more, in the future Enlighten You Writing down the achievements that excite you lets you and Universe know what you really want in life You awaken to surprising and valuable insights into yourself You discover the qualities that fulfill you You uncover wants and needs you were unaware of You identify your core values And identifying your values highlights the activities that are distractions in your life—the people and events that take you away from your core purposes So, you spend less time chasing goals that won’t result in your happiness Ask (accurately) and you shall receive (abundantly) The closer your goals are to what truly excites you, the quicker you’re going to attract those goals Enrich Your Bank Account Keeping a Gains Book makes you a better communicator—with the Universe, others and yourself—and that can make you rich! The clearer you are about what you want, the sooner the goods show up A Fact Book also keeps you in the energy and vibration of your experience of yourself as a good creator—thereby, attracting more satisfying achievements Encourage you The root of “encourage” is the French word “coure,” which means “heart” Remembering your past attainments gives you heart to keep striving for greater glory—the courage to go after what you really desire in life Owning your creative past builds self-confidence and rock-solid self-esteem in the present You feel better about yourself and your ability to manifest the life you choose Expose the Illusions Noting your achievements and giving thanks for the joys of life makes you less tolerant of the illusions in your life Deeper truths arise when we record our life in black and white The truth bursts delusions and fantasies, increasing your recognition of what actually works to bring you happiness As a discerning documenter, you recall and reconstruct past events more accurately than the misleading mental memory of the ego—your emotional and cultural conditioning Enhance Your Appeal to Others Keeping a Fact Book helps you know yourself better—and self-knowledge is amazingly appealing to people The stronger your sense of self, the stronger people’s attraction to you Recognizing your true worth brings out your natural beauty and wisdom—and builds genuine satisfaction and fulfillment There is nothing more engaging and powerful than an authentic person living the life he or she truly desires Energize Your Dreams Documenting your solid accomplishments gives you additional insights into your true objectives and dreams in life And it heightens your awareness of what is blocking your further success As you take action to remove the obstacles to your happiness, you increase your ability to manifest your dreams Establish New Creative Heights Sharpening your awareness of past creations moves you to set your self-standards higher, to set loftier goals for your life journey You re-write your life story with greater gusto and bravado You compose a personal myth with a better ending!
