How to stay cool even when you are quaking
Discover the healing pover of positive thinking!
We all know that strong emotions have a powerful physical effect. Feeling nervous before an important interview can send you rushing to the bathroom, when a sudden attack of anxiety can send you heart racing and live your fealing faint and dizzy. But new research has revealed the incredible healing power of the brain and how learning to relax and think positively can have dramatic health benefits. And there is now overwheling evidence that you mental and emotional state can also have a direct impact on your body`s ability to fight desease and handle with pain. Formerly I have read that one American professor took a group of heart patients through an eight-week angina programme which includes stress management, relaxation techniques, goal-setting and exercise. The results were staggering. If I not mistaken, about fifty per cent of the patients who had been on waiting lists for bypass surgery were taken off their cardiologist who decided they no longer needed it.
So who do you make it work for you? Well, it`s far more complex than just learning to look on the bright side.The key variable in patients getting well in the extent to which they feel in control of their own emotions. Reorganising your life and learning self-help techniques can help you back in control of these.

The notion that reading is one of the most important keys to education accomplish is agreed by all : newspaper critics, devoted teachers and parents. But what is happening to the standarts? Employers are critical " It is a great surprise and disappointment to us to find that our young employees are so hopelessly deficient in their command of English". Many may long to the golden days, but the quotation was from those days - 1921. The complaints of today are remarkably like those of the past.
The latest panic was prompted by a very limited study by a group of educational psychologists using a dubious test. No wonder it was castigated for intellectual sloppiness. Yet there are many detailed researsh studies that illuminate reading concerns. Formerly, it was shown that the more lead, aluminium in a child`s body as tested by hair and saliva tests, the lower the reading scores. Did they get widely reported?
The same fears are reported often. The worries appear to be misderected. Yes, there are rigorous principals about whether the present curriculum is helping effective reading, but it is not the early stages that are weak. Reading for learning is something different but equally important. This is how we grapple with ideas and arguments of Higher Education.
