How to Rise above the Crab Mentality of Others

How to Rise above the Crab Mentality of Others

 

Are you familiar with those people who love to criticize you even for the pettiest things? Do you sense that they're talking about you behind your back? There's one good explanation for it: crab mentality.

 

Crab mentality is a social epidemic. It is characterized by people's action of pulling others down so they can get on top—just like crabs that are beating one another on who gets to go out from the pail first.

 

For any person who is a victim of crab mentality, it's a terrible stressor. Your reputation and everything you worked hard for are suddenly in great jeopardy. Moreover, you cannot help but ask yourself the question, "Why me?"

 

You should be aware that most likely there's nothing wrong with you. In fact, you have plenty of good attributes, forcing others to feel intense insecurity. Nonetheless, you should be ready just in case the stress and anxiety of crab mentality get hold of you. Do the following:

 

Stay away from them as soon as possible. If you have friends or even family members who are trying to put you down for no reason, it's a good idea to just stay away from them. Create a whole new circle of friends or stay close to those that you trust the most. It's a whole lot better to maintain a few personal strong relationships than many loose ones.

 

Share your feelings. You should never allow the anxiety to build up inside you. Otherwise, it may lead to depression or too much stress. Rather, share your feelings. There are many ways to do that.

 

One, you can grab a pen and paper, then write everything you want to say to those people. When you're done with the rant, you throw them away. The purpose of writing is to let your negative feelings out, not to remember them over and over.

 

If you have the will, you can approach the individuals and tell them what you feel. Some of them may not be fully aware of what they're doing. Talking to them may give them a new perspective about themselves. Nevertheless, not everyone will welcome your action. Don't be disheartened. As long as you've said things as politely as you can, you have done nothing wrong. In the process, you have eased yourself off.

 

Be nice. Do you know that these people don't want you to be nice? They are very observant. They want to find even the minutest mistake about you and utilize it to bring you down. But if you're nice, it will be hard for them to do that. Second, you'll feel good about yourself.

 

Practice affirmations. It's normal to lose a sense of confidence when you're presented with a lot of negativity, but you can always counteract that with subliminal messages. You can fill your mind with positive thoughts each day. If you're feeling sullen, you can repeat the following subliminal messages:

 

I am the author of my life.

I know that I am a good person.

I am self-reliant and very strong.

I have a wall that keeps negative people away from me.

How to Prevent Your Kids from Lying

How to Prevent Your Kids from Lying

 

You received a call from school, informing you that your child hadn't arrived at school. You became frantic the entire day when suddenly your kid come barging in. You asked him where he had been, and he flatly said he was in school.

 

Isn't that hurtful and frustrating? No parent would want their child to like, more so straight to his or her face. But how do you exactly deal with that?

 

The following may be helpful:

 

1. Know the reason for the lying. There are plenty of reasons why children lie. It's either they are afraid of the consequences or you tolerate them (you allowed them to come up with stories and accept them as truths). Get to the bottom of the lying and see if it's something you can correct immediately. Once you eliminate the reason, you may be able to get rid of the lies.

 

2. Create and enforce rules. If you don't want to be lied to, then you need to develop certain rules and penalties. But the real struggle of parents isn't really creating the laws but enforcing them. Children know how to touch their parents' soft spots. Before you know it, you're giving in to their requests.

 

It's time to be very firm if you want to implement a change. If you mean no TV for the entire week, then there should be none for seven days.

 

Needless to say, ensure that your children understand the reason for the punishment. This way they wouldn't think they've been penalized for no reason. Further, be careful with the penalties you gave. You don't want those that can physically, emotionally, and psychologically hurt the child.

 

3. Teach them while they're young. If you don't want your children to lie when they grow up you should teach them how to be honest when they're still young. The young ones are much easier to train since they can absorb every lesson you gave them.

 

4. Be a good example. You can never preach about honesty if you yourself lie. That's why if you say you're going to pick them up from school, you should strive hard to do it. Never lie to your family members or to your friends. Most of all, never catch yourself lying in front of your children.

 

5. Don't judge the person but the action. Do you know that people learn to live up to their labels? If you call someone a thief, then there's a huge chance he's going to believe that and start stealing. If you tell your child he's a liar, he might as well continue with it, because you already believe in it.

 

6. Keep yourself sane with affirmations. Parents with lying children would often question themselves, "Did I do something wrong?" It's easy for you to put the blame on yourself when there are other factors that would have caused it, including the influence of his or her peers.

 

If you need to get back on track in disciplining your children, you can use subliminal messages:

 

I don't judge my child but his wrongdoing.

I forgive what he's done but won't tolerate his action.

I can definitely help change his behavior.

How to Make the Home Safe for the Kids

How to Make the Home Safe for the Kids

 

Just when you thought that your kids are completely safe at home, you suddenly find them getting very deep gashes from stumbling in the yard. They stepped on a toy found on the stairs and rolled a couple of steps down to the bottom. Today there are many kids who are brought to the ER simply because they have fallen from the upper bunk beds.

 

You cannot stop accidents from happening into your kids, but you can take precautionary measures to ensure they are greatly reduced. That's why the following tips may be extremely helpful:

 

1. Teach your kids to be responsible. You cannot keep your eyes on your kids at all times. You have chores to fulfill, a husband to take care of. Thus, you also have to teach your kids to be responsible for their actions. Teach them to always keep their toys in a box or chest after playing. They should not be throwing anything into the floor, and they must learn to fix their mess as soon as possible.

 

2. Secure your home. Watch out for areas where your kids may likely meet an accident. For example, you can purchase a baby fence to prevent your toddler from going up and down the stairs, as well as reaching areas that are considered dangerous for him or her like the kitchen. Keep the doorknobs a little higher (but you can make them lower when your child learns when he or she has to get out), make sure that the yards are cleaned regularly, set up a gate or a fence, find a bunk bed with railings that have slats measuring no more than 3 inches from each other.

 

3. Keep your first aid kit very close. You may never prevent an accident, but you can try to avoid it from getting worse. Make sure that your first aid kit is accessible, perhaps placing it in your bathroom cabinet. Ensure too that all your supplies are complete. It is also helpful if you will take a crash course on first aid. It is usually given by the Red Cross.

 

4. Maintain harmony in the home. Physical safety is not the only thing you should be concerned about. You must also take into consideration the emotional safety of the children. Any sign of hostility in the home can cause undue stress, anxiety, and depression to them. They would definitely feel that they're no longer safe in their own home.

 

This is where your partner comes in. You know that home harmony cannot be achieved if it's only you who's doing all the effort. It's essential that as a couple, you can always iron your issues out before it gets out of proportion. Showing affection and love toward each other is a good example for the kids.

 

5. Always maintain a positive attitude. Maintaining a household, more so keeping the kids safe, can be such a huge responsibility. However, you cannot afford yourself to break down. Your kids depend on you. If the going gets tough, just remember these following subliminal messages:

 

I am strong enough to fight this stress.

I will take care of myself so I can take care of my kids.

I am capable of providing safety in the home.

How to Be Safe when You're Traveling at Night

How to Be Safe when You're Traveling at Night

 

Whether you like it not there will be times when you have to go out late at night. Perhaps you are going out with your friends for a nightcap or some cocktail drinks. But nighttime also offers a lot of danger if you aren't careful. So you'll stay safe and secure even if you're out of your home at night, take note of these tips:

 

1. Let the people know where you're going. You should do this even if you're living alone. You can call up a friend or a family member such as your mom. You can also leave a message to your reliable neighbor. Leave your contact details, as well as names of people you're planning to meet or the place you're going. Also do let them know the reason for leaving and when to expect for your arrival. This way, if you don't arrive at your specified time, they can start looking for you.

 

2. Keep your valuables at home. Avoid bringing jewelry pieces, wads of cash, and other very expensive things when you're out for the night. Thieves have very keen eyesight. They can easily spot items that they think would be worth a lot to them.

 

3. Stay away from places that are dark. As much as possible don't walk in places where there is not enough functioning lampposts around. You should also avoid those with very narrow alleyways and tight corners. There's not enough room for you to run if someone tries to harm you.

 

4. Carry that pepper spray. Never depart from your pepper spray, especially if you're going to places that you are not completely familiar with. Ensure that it's so easy for you to find and reach for it when the going gets tough. Moreover, if you can find time, enroll yourself in self-defense classes. You want to give yourself a fighting chance against crooks in the society.

 

5. Don't drive other people's attention to you. When you're out in public, make sure that you are not too loud. Dress accordingly and hopefully something not flashy. Don't drive very expensive vehicles and choose the people whom you're going to talk to. By maintaining a low-key profile in the public, you don't catch the attention of the others who may have bad intentions toward you.

 

6. Report anything suspicious. If you feel that there are people who are following your or someone is making you feel uneasy, make that call. Report anything you see suspicious to the authorities.

 

7. Limit going out at night alone. It's highly advisable that you don't go out at night all by yourself. If you have friends with vehicles, you can consider carpooling. That saves you gasoline, and it makes you feel safe to be in the company of friends.

 

8. Keep that anxiety away. When you're anxious, you can't think straight. You cannot immediately determine on what to do if ever you find yourself in a tight spot. To lower the anxious feeling, you can use subliminal messages or affirmations that can change negative thoughts to positive ones.

Fight Anorexia Nervosa Today and Save Yourself

Fight Anorexia Nervosa Today and Save Yourself

 

Today there are around 1 percent of women all over the world who are suffering from anorexia nervosa. Majority of those who are sick are in their teens, at least 17 years old. Though it seldom happens to them, men can also be prone of this.

 

Anorexia nervosa is a kind of eating disorder. It is attributed to a lot of factors and causes, including psychological imbalance and genetics. One thing is for sure: it should be immediately stopped.

 

How to Know You Have One

 

Usually, you'll be asked to take an exam. The assessment isn't enough to confirm anorexia nervosa, but it tells you that you have it.

 

You're probably suffering from anorexia nervosa when you give too much attention to your weight. You have a distorted body image. You think you're so fat even if you're thin or of ideal weight, so you go on an extensive diet and rigorous exercise. You say no to a lot of food, preferably living for just two apples a day. You develop anxiety whenever there's food around, and you cringe when you find a weighing scale. However, even if your weight is already dropping drastically, you still feel a lot of stress. You think what you did are never enough.

 

Anorexia nervosa has a lot of negative effects physically, emotionally, and socially. It can lead to death, as the body organs start to fail because of malnutrition. You can suffer from cardiac arrest. You would also feel a lot of depression and loss of self-worth, and because you don't have enough confidence, you withdraw yourself from a lot of people.

 

Getting the Right Kind of Help

 

As a sufferer, you deserve to be helped as soon as possible. These tips can be a good start:

 

1. Look for a doctor. You require a doctor who would keep track of your weight and nutrition. He or she may also prescribe you with certain medications and supplements that would reduce anxiety and depression. Your doctor can also recommend a nutritionist who can come up with a meal plan specially made for sufferers like you.

 

2. Get to the main source. You may also want to talk things over with a therapist. A counselor can assist you in getting to the bottom reason of your illness. Sometimes losing weight becomes secondary. You use extreme dieting to combat fear, trauma, or hate of oneself or somebody else. The therapist may also introduce several non-medicine-based techniques so you can better deal with these triggers.

 

3. Affirm yourself. Subliminal messages or affirmations are extremely important. Keep in mind that one of the main reasons for the illness is the lack of self-appreciation or insecurity. The subliminal messages can be used to boost your bruised ego. Every day remind yourself that you're loved and you're more than your body image.

 

4. Stay away from those that push you to diet. It's time to throw away those magazines and diet books. Keep the weighing scale away too. Most of all, avoid those people who keep calling your fat or destroy your self-confidence.

Don't Let the Hair Loss Dampen Your Spirit

Don't Let the Hair Loss Dampen Your Spirit

 

They say that the hair is a person's crowning glory. That's why it's always hurtful when you start to lose them. What's important, though, is you don't allow it to dampen your spirit.

 

The Causes of Hair Loss

 

There are plenty of reasons why you're losing your hair. It may be caused by an illness such as alopecia. This is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks the follicles, preventing them to produce hair strands. Alopecia affects the entire body, not just the hairs on the head. Or it may be a sign of an underlying disease.

 

Your hair loss may be your own doing. You rubbed towels vigorously or you comb your hair with a lot of force. If you're suffering from cancer, you can lose your hair because of procedures such as chemotherapy.

 

What Should You Do

 

Fortunately, even for those with alopecia, there's hope. Here are some ideas:

 

Go to the main reason why you're losing hair. As mentioned, there are plenty of reasons why you suffer from hair loss. You need to know the root cause, as treatments should be based on the primary reason.

 

Eat the right kinds of food. If you're looking for a reason to eat healthy, then losing your hair will probably do the trick. Hair is made up of keratin, a certain kind of protein similar to that found in the nails. Moreover, eating well will keep your hair in its best form: shiny and smooth to touch.

 

Avoid shampooing a lot. It's not advisable to shampoo your hair every day. Instead, condition it often. Also choose the products you put on your hair. A good number of them contain ingredients that could just be too harmful for your follicles.

 

Don't rub objects vigorously onto your hair. In fact, you don't need to rub towels. You just have to pat them on your hair until you can make them dry. It's also not recommended to comb your hair when it's still wet. The strands are very fragile, so you can easily pull them from their follicles.

 

Sport a bald look. If you don't want to deal with the hair loss anymore, you can just shave your hair and sport the bald appearance. A lot of men and women learn to love it in the process as they feel more liberated and sexier.

 

Put on a scarf or a hat. You can also change your present negative mind-set. Use the hair loss as an opportunity to be more creative especially on how you look. It's a perfect excuse to wrap a turban or scarf, as well as wear a hat wherever you go.

 

Encourage yourself with affirmations. Hair loss may lead to depression or anxiety, but you can't afford to let it lead to those. Use affirmations or subliminal messages. When you're feeling discouraged or ashamed of how you look, tell yourself the following:

 

I am not defined by my hair.

There are more things to love about myself.

I appreciate my value as a person.

Don't Be Scared during Your Tryouts

Don't Be Scared during Your Tryouts

 

Tryouts—these are always scary for anyone who wants to go for it. With hundreds of competitors out there, it's so easy for you to feel bad, ashamed, and worthless. Nevertheless you need to keep your hopes up and boost your self-confidence. Otherwise, you won't have a fighting chance.

 

So you don't end up getting scared in your tryouts, take note of the following tips:

 

1. Practice, practice, practice. You are very much aware of what they say: practice makes perfect. Though practicing doesn't really guarantee you're going to make it, you nevertheless increase your chances of grabbing a spot to a hundredfold.

 

2. Prepare for the worse. Hope for the best but prepare for the worse. Again, there are no guarantees no matter how good you are at what you do. You can always keep your hopes up and expect to get the spot, but you also need to be open enough to the possibility of losing. The more you stay real in your expectations, the more it's easier for you to just do your best and enjoy the experience.

 

3. Have some moral support. A lot don't really feel uncomfortable when there are friends and family members who are watching them during tryouts, but the truth is it's the best time to get some support from the people that you love. You can feel so inspired or motivated by other people's support for you. For them you're willing to do your best. They can also make the tryouts less scary. When you feel anxious or stressed, you know you have someone to turn to.

 

4. Take note of the tryout details. Gather all the details related to the tryouts, such as the venue, time, and things to bring or prepare. Make sure that you wake up very early and arrive in your venue at least an hour or a few minutes before the scheduled tryout. This way, you will have more time to prepare and relax. You also have to prepare everything you need the night before. Pack them in a bag and place them to a very conspicuous place, so you can just pick it up immediately.

 

5. Try being the first one. Sure there's a lot of pressure in being the first one to try out, but it also gives you the least amount of stress and anxiety. Besides, a lot of people believe that those who come first and last are often the ones who are remembered the most.

 

6. Follow the rules. Many who are exceptionally good still end up not getting the spot for one simple reason: not following instructions. Listen very carefully when a facilitator gives out a set of instructions. Focus on what you're doing. There may be others who will be trying out with you, but you have no other intense competitor than yourself.

 

7. Make use of subliminal messages. Use affirmations or subliminal messages to continuously inspire or motivate yourself. When you start to feel the anxiety and the stress, repeat the following:

 

I can do this.

I can overcome the challenges.

I can be extremely good in what I do.

Do You Love to Gossip? Learn How to Stop It

Do You Love to Gossip? Learn How to Stop It

 

Don't you just love to gossip? For some reason it is very interesting and engaging to talk about other people's lives. But then you also know that gossip is entirely wrong. It is completely unproductive and destructive. A lot of relationships have been severed just because of rumors.

 

How do you stop yourself from gossiping? Consider the following tips:

 

1. Keep yourself busy. Gossip often happens when you have nothing else better to do. You grab the mobile phone and talk about your other friends with someone. You go online and chat.

 

One of the best ways therefore to minimize being involved in rumors is to be very productive. When you have a lot of things to do, you won't have more time for senseless things. Moreover, these activities can occupy your mind.

 

2. Consider your self-interests first. Before you think of others, think about yourself. Usually, you gossip about others simply because you couldn't find something interesting about your own life. Perhaps it's high time you pursue a hobby, take up a sport, or go back to school. Travel or spend more time doing missions and volunteer work. These activities boost self-awareness and self-esteem. Most of all, they inspire you to find more good things in life.

 

3. Cut back on your sources of gossip. Stop reading your friends' blogs, watching television shows, reading tabloids and gossip magazines, or even communicating with friends who just love to gossip. Unless you remove the sources, you'll find it extremely hard to stop the bad habit.

 

4. Ignore the gossip. Some of your friends may volunteer juicy stories, whether you want to hear them or not. The best course of action is to just ignore it. Listen but don't give any reaction or side comment. In fact, you can change the subject. Come up with a whole new topic to discuss.

 

5. Be brutally honest. If you don't like gossips, then you better say so. If your friends start sharing, tell them you're not interested or not into it. Some of them may feel offended, but saying no is a good way of letting them know what they're doing is extremely wrong.

 

6. Say something nice. Gossips are often negative. Your friend Mary may talk about Shirley's arrogance over her new promotion. Rather than agreeing, you can say that she's truly a hard worker to achieve that.

 

7. Walk away. When you can't handle the heat, stay away from it. If you start hearing people talking about the others, walk away. You can come up with some excuse, but make sure you can leave as soon as possible.

 

8. Get rid of your insecurities. Gossip often stems from insecurities, jealousy, and envy. If you can learn to avoid all of them, you can also stop talking about other people's lives. You can boost your confidence with subliminal messages or affirmations. You may say

 

There are a lot of good things about me that I truly appreciate.

I am a blessing to others.

I am a content person.

Discussing Death with Children

Discussing Death with Children

 

Besides the birds and the bees, death is another topic you want to avoid discussing with your kids as much as possible. You may be able to do that but not for a very long time. Your family would go through it; and your children would hear and see death everywhere—in school, in movies, in televisions.

 

As a parent you need to be prepared. Learn how to handle talks about death with these tips:

 

1. Don't evade the question. Parents make the mistake of ignoring the children's question, perhaps thinking they couldn't handle the truth. Well, there are many ways on how to be honest without being too brutal about it. Answer the question. The more you hide it, the more they feel that something is terribly wrong.

 

2. Consider your answers very carefully. You'd normally answer the question based on their age. For example, the very little ones don't have any idea about death at all but they would like to know why it happens. They could not easily grasp the concept of mortality, so you may just want to say that the body just stops working.

 

Avoid the use of euphemisms when talking to them. This means don't associate "sleep" or "went away" or "travel" to death. They would also learn to take the comparison literally. They would struggle going to sleep at night and would become too clingy.

 

3. Structure sentences properly when you're talking about religious beliefs. If you have some religious beliefs, especially on the concept of the afterlife, you may be able to share them with your kids. You may say that her grandmother is already in heaven now or that she is at peace. Nevertheless be careful on how you say things, as children can be very inquisitive and observant. For example, don't say that "Your grandmother is happy now because she's in heaven," but you've been crying for the past few days. They wouldn't be able to reconcile your explanation with the reality.

 

4. Prep the kids when going to memorials or funerals. It's best to sit down with your kids first at least a day before the memorial or funeral visit. You don't want them to be overwhelmed with the sad emotions around them, as well as the confusion of why a loved one is in the coffin. Talk to them about what they can expect and encourage them to ask a lot of questions.

 

5. Give them a sense of encouragement. When your children see a lot of people crying and grieving, it's only normal for them to be worried and discouraged. Moreover, they feelings would become worse if they couldn't cheer you up.

 

As much as possible, you should ease up their worries. By doing so, you will allow them to heal a lot faster. You can use subliminal messages for this. Every time you get together with your kids, tell them that the sadness will not last for a very long time, that the sadness doesn't mean that they are not loved.

Carjacked: Know What to Do

Carjacked: Know What to Do

 

For the past years, the number of carjacked cars has risen so drastically a lot of people are concerned. As long as you have a vehicle, you are prone to becoming one of the victims.

 

It is time to know the different carjacking tips:

 

1. Be extra vigilant. Be alert of suspicious people or even vehicles. A lot of people let their guard down once they are already driving, thinking they are completely safe. Not necessarily. There are some carjackers who can tail you behind, and it does not matter where you go. They are looking for the most perfect opportunity to get hold of your vehicle.

 

2. Park in well-lit and guarded areas. Look for establishments with guards and cameras installed in parking areas, especially in the basement. As much as possible too park in areas where there are plenty of light around. No matter how scheming they are, they can't take the risk of being seen and caught doing the act.

 

3. Use tinted glass. Some vehicle owners do not want tinted glass, as it may be costly. However, it can be used as a good defense against car thieves. Before they steal, they would normally peek inside vehicles to know what valuables you have. Unless it is really the car they are after, they would look for another car if they could not take a look at what you have immediately.

 

4. Never leave the keys attached to your car. Doing so is like telling the carjackers that it is okay to take your vehicle away.

 

5. Do not talk to strangers. Prevent yourself from entertaining people you do not know, especially those who knock on your doors or would suddenly approach you from nowhere. Some of the cunning carjackers do this to let your guard down until you are vulnerable enough for them to strike.

 

6. Avoid driving alone. If you can have someone with you every time you go out, then the better. However, it is not a good idea to tag along a child all the time. You worry not only for your car but also for the kid.

 

7. Drive a non-expensive vehicle. Carjackers choose their vehicles well. They want those that are very easy to sell, and these are those that are very expensive. If you want to keep a low profile, then you should settle for cheaper cars. Besides, if you would really lose them, you do not lose a lot.

 

8. Do not fight them. What if your car is really being carjacked? The best thing to do is to just give the car keys and let them drive off. Your life is more precious than your vehicles. However, you need to report the case as soon as possible to the police.

 

9. Reduce your anxiety and stress. The thought of being carjacked is already enough reason to be very stressed and anxious. These negative emotions may force you to stop functioning properly. When the anxiety is too high, use subliminal messages or affirmations. You want to encourage positive thoughts.

A Couch Potato No Longer: How to Beat Your TV Addiction

A Couch Potato No Longer: How to Beat Your TV Addiction

 

Do you know that men and women should spend no more than 4 hours in front of the television? It increases the risks of developing cardiovascular diseases. It also promotes a sedentary lifestyle, which often leads to obesity and other disorders. If these are not enough, it does not encourage social relationships.

 

But kicking a negative habit is not easy as you think. You need to know at least the basic steps on what to do. The following then can be very helpful:

 

1. Do not hurry the process up. What happens when you suddenly cut yourself off from watching television? You will develop withdrawal symptoms. You will feel antsy, irritated, and moody for most of the time. It may even lead to anxiety and depression, as you can definitely feel the deprivation.

 

You cannot remove your TV addiction immediately, but you can do it slowly. Try to reduce the time in front of your TV. If you spend 8 hours or more, consider 6 to 5 per day, until you watch TV more sparingly.

 

2. Do other productive activities. So you would not miss television a lot, go for other productive activities, especially around those times you would normally watch the boob tube. If you tend to watch TV all morning, you can substitute that with going to parks, having brunches with friends, or hanging around in bookstores.

 

3. Avoid having a television inside your bedroom. A telly inside the bedroom should be a no-no. Before you know it, you will end up spending the rest of your night watching TV shows and movies. Your bedroom should be a place where you can get a lot of sleep, where you can obtain a restful sleep. Watching too much television, especially at night, may be a trigger to insomnia and a lot of stress very early in the morning.

 

4. Do not subscribe to cable. If you do not want to end up watching too much shows and films, you can stop yourself from subscribing to cable. If you have one, it is time to have it disconnected.

 

5. Spend more time outdoors. Increase the time you spend in the outdoors. Enjoy some time biking, hiking, and mountain climbing. You can even invite some friends to go camping. You can also take up a sport, such as football, hockey, or lacrosse.

 

6. Choose your shows. Surely not all TV shows are your favorite. Perhaps two or three of them are the ones you have been following for some time. It does not make sense therefore to watch the others. If you want to really control your watched TV programs, you can record your all-time favorite shows in TiVo.

 

7. Use affirmations. Now how can subliminal messages be helpful in curbing TV addiction? Sometimes you will feel as if it is something you can never give up. Use the subliminal messages to boost your confidence. You can remind yourself every morning:

 

I can definitely beat TV addiction.

There is more to life than watching TV.

I can surely say good-bye to TV.

6 Tips to Remove YouTube Addiction

6 Tips to Remove YouTube Addiction

 

Yes, you don't watch a lot of television but you're spending too much time in YouTube. This video-sharing website has garnered millions of followers all over the world, for only a very short time. With so many videos to watch you can't help but spend the rest of your day doing nothing else but that.

 

Now just imagine how it can affect you personally. You can no longer complete your tasks, you spend less time on productive activities, and you may even distance yourself from your loved ones. It's not really surprising that you'll end up suffering from depression and a lot of stress later.

 

But how do you exactly get rid of YouTube addiction? Here are seven tips:

 

1. Just block it. If you don't want to watch any YouTube videos, then just block the website from your computer. A lot of websites and plug-ins can already do that for you. Every time you check on YouTube, you'll end up having an error page. Further, to make sure you don't delete the plug-in, you can look for a tool that allows you to add passwords. Have someone set it for you.

 

2. Spend less time in front of the PC. You won't be tempted to watch YouTube videos if you also spend less time with your PC. Besides it's really not a good idea to spend more than 4 hours in front of your computer. You don't have to cut everything off suddenly. If you spend 8 hours with it, you can reduce it to 6 or 5.

 

3. Take up a sport. A sport can be a good motivator for you to spend less time with YouTube. In fact, it can increase your self-confidence, plus you're forced to spend more time with your friends and perhaps your family. It also feels so good if you win competitions.

 

4. Choose a hobby. If you don't like sports, then at least pursue a hobby, and hopefully it doesn't involve computers. If you're a mom, arts and crafts would be perfect. You can share the hobby with your kids. If you're a dad, creating furniture and fixtures may be an exciting hobby, which may even turn into a profitable venture.

 

5. Go to the outdoors. There are a lot of things you can do outside of your home, but you're missing all of them since you're just there, watching YouTube. Try being in the outdoors at least an hour a day. And if you can afford it, spend a night in the mountains camping or even travel outside the state or outside of the country.

 

6. Encourage yourself to just do it. Unless you have the will to get rid of your YouTube addiction, you'll never be able to do it. But how? Use subliminal messages. Affirmations have a way of changing your present mind-set from "cannot" to "can." The moment you wake up, say the following lines:

 

Today, I'll spend more time on things that make me grow.

Today, I will spend more time with friends and family.

Today, I'll relax and spend my day with a lot of quiet and peace.
