When people are told that they need to communicate more they often think that that is an openinvitation to talk but there is a complete difference between talking and communicating.Communicating is an art, and art of combining the ability to express your opinions and feelingsin such a way as to ensure that the person or people you are talking to understand what you are抯trying to say with the ability to listen and understand another person point of view.抳The number of times I have sat in a room, often in meetings and at conferences and I e justwatched and listened to what is going on around me. It is totally fascinating when whole groupsof people have no ability to listen to their colleagues, partners or friends and therefore cannotunderstand or comprehend any opinion other than their own.What could have been covered in five minutes or learned in half an hour often takes hours ordays just because people refuse to sit back, listen and understand.抯Over the years it amazing the number of times people are provided with information that, ifthey acted upon, could totally alter a relationship, career or the success of a business. But,because the sheer lack of peoples ability to listen to and think through another persons point ofview unique opportunities pass them by.Relationships are no different to the work environment other than there are, usually, just two ofyou. Often, what could be a marriage made in heaven is destroyed by the sheer inability tocommunicate. The most successful relationships, be it business or personnel are those wherebyboth parties have strong verbal and listening skills.Many relationship problems begin with poor communication. Couples often feel that theirpartner should know what they are thinking and how they feel so do not communicate and thenwonder why they feel neglected and under valued.抰How many people decide not to tell their partner something just because they don know howto say it and then the problem just eats away at the relationship until there is no relationship left?What a waste, just the sheer ability to share a problem can make what seemed to be aninsurmountable issue a tiny little blip on a large horizon.抰 抰So whenever you feel stressed or don know what to do don just bottle it up, talk about it,抰seek advice and listen to the answer. Don keep quiet when you know in your heart a problem抰has to be aired and don put off until tomorrow what has to be sorted today. Tomorrow nevercomes!!It is how you say something that will ruin a relationship and not what you have to say. Thewrong way is just to blurt out something that you know will aggravate or distress your partner.The last thing you want is for them to get defensive, storm off or burst into floods of tears. Youwant the person you are trying to communicate with to be open and perceptive and in order tobe able to achieve this, your timing and approach has to be right.抰Every individual is different what will work with one person won necessarily work withanother and with some people all you can do is sew the seed and then let them walk away andwork it out for themselves.One person I know never actually listens to anyone. She is one of those people who is always

抰right no matter what, hasn a clue about being a team player and operates within a zero抰tolerance zone. Traditional approaches and method of reasoning just don work and alls youcan do is plant the seed of thought which eventually develops into her, own acceptable idea.Given peoples individuality you need to learn what, is the right approach for you and your抰 抰partner. Make sure that you never start a discussion if you don have time to finish it, doninsist on a debate when one of you is off out to work, dealing with the kids or just relaxing in憌front of their favourite TV programme. If the timing seems to be never right ask the question hen would it be a good time for us to just sit down and talk?? Whatever you do, do not letyourself appear agitated either in what you say or how you say it. Body language can just as抰easily put your partner on the defensive as what you say to them. Even if your partner is vyingfor a fight just don react.Remember, the first golden rule, approaching defensive with defensive is a sure way to failure.One of the key ways to improve communication is to develop strong listening skills. Couples抰often fail to listen to what their partner has to say, interrupt and give the impression that nomatter what is said they won change their mind. One trick to ensure that you have listenedand you do understand is to repeat what you have heard. This will demonstrate that you havelistened to what was said and by repeating it back you have the opportunity to comprehend andunderstand.抯How often do we try and work through a problem and it only at the point we are explainingthe issue to someone else does the magic light bulb switch on which enables us to come up withthe answer.If you are taking an exam would you expect to know everything just by being told it once? Formost people I would say not. We have to work at it and work at it hard.抯No one ever said marriage would be easy it just another lesson we have to learn as weexperience life but if you want to save your marriage and make it even more special than it wasbefore then there is very little to stop you.Relationship problems can lay heavy on your mind, become a burden and what was originally asmall issue can develop into an insurmountable mountain.If you begin to feel that marital issues are beginning to weigh heavily on your mind, take abreak and do something you enjoy and preferably with your partner. If you can refocus yourattention of the better things in life, day to day issues always seem that much smaller. Spendinga little time together and enjoying each other's company could enable you and your partner torecapture some of the feelings that have been lost through constant arguing and help you regaina positive perspective on your relationship.抰Just one last word of advice, when you are feeling down and feel you no longer want to saveyour marriage just remember that the grass isn always greener on the other side.抰If you believe you have financial issues now what do you think it will be like when you splityour assets, if you feel you don have time to do things what will it be like when you are onyour own or worse a single parent and if you feel lonely now how will you feel when every

抯time you walk in your front door all you have is your own company. Now none of thesethoughts have been aired to encourage you to stay in a bad relationship but rather to make youconsider whether or not yours is as bad as you think.You are the master of your own destiny and if you want to turn a bad marriage around you havethe power at your fingertips.Title:How Essential Fatty Acids Improve Your Brain Power and Mental HealthWord Count:572Summary:Use the essential fatty acids to prevent losing your memory and keeping your brain healthy.Find out what my recommendation are for which fatty acids to use.Keywords:essential fatty acids, flax seed oil, EPA, DHA, borage, Alzheimer's diseaseArticle Body:What is your brain made of?Over 50% of your brain is made of good fat. Twenty percent of this good fat comes from EPAand DHA. Remember EPA and DHA comes from,* omega-3 fatty acids* eating fish* borage oil* primrose oil* parilla oil* NOK oilI have covered all these oils in other articles except NKO Krill Oil. This oil is the new kid onthe block. It comes from Antarctic krill, a crustacean found in the Antarctic waters. Itprovides EPA and DHA like borage oil does, but its chemical structure is phospholipids.Phospholipids are easier for your cells to absorb than borage oil's EPA and DHA, which is inthe form of triglycerides.The essential fatty acids provide the chemical molecules to make Phospholipids. Thesephospholipids gather together to form a protective barrier around each cell in your body.If the fatty acids are in phospholipids form, your body is able to use them quicker and moreefficiently.This is what makes NOK oil a more bio-available advanced oil than borage or primrose oil.

If you are deficient in the essential fatty acids, you will be more susceptible to these conditions:* Alzheimer's disease* Anxiety and body stress* Heart disease* Attention deficit disorder* Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder* Bipolar disorder* Chronic fatigue syndrome* Depression* Learning disorders* Memory impairment* Parkinson's disease* SchizophreniaMaking Your Brain Work Like It ShouldYour brain needs a good daily supply of the essential fatty acid omega-3.

When DHA is deficient in your diet, you can expectto have memory loss and become depressed as you age.Lecithin is also in order since it helps to provide choline, a precursor to the memoryneurotransmitter acetylcholine. It also provides the chemicals to produce RNA.Heart disease is closely related to Alzheimer's because the heart must be strong enough to pumpplenty of blood into the brain and the arteries must open enough to circulate enough bloodthrough the brain and throughout your body.Even if you don't come down with Alzheimer's or your family history doesn't support it, most ofus are in line for dementia. Dementia is also attributed to deterioration of brain cells andsupport tissue. One of the causes of dementia is a diet that has been deficient in the essentialfatty acids. Here is my recommendation for supplementing with the essential fatty acids:* Eat more good fish, at least once a week and occasionally twice a week* Eat less fat and particularly saturated fat. A good number for daily fat intake is 15-20%

of your overall calories.* Take daily, flax seed oil and olive oil for the omega-3 and omega-6 oils* Take a daily supplement of NKO or Borage oil, which supplies EPA and DHATitle:Testosterone Levels And Overall HealthWord Count:565Summary:As people age, a decline in testosterone production is experienced.

This declinecauses low sex drive, constant tiredness, depression, and loss of strength. Furthermore, very lowlevels of testosterone in men increases the risk of obesity and heart attack.Low testosterone levels result from inability of the testes to produce adequate quantities oftestosterone. This development affects the whole body system and causes many physiologic,chemical, and hormonal changes. Age is not the only culprit for the drop of testosteroneproduction. According to David Zava, PhD., the president of ZRT Laboratory, a leadinghormone research lab in the United States, many factors contribute to low testosterone levels.Environmental toxins, prolonged stress, and depression are just some of the factors that maytrigger the body to lower testosterone reproduction. Lifestyle can also be a factor in loweredproduction of this hormone. Excessive drinking, smoking lack of exercise, and unhealthy dietmay damage the testes and lower testosterone production.
