If you are prone to worry about every day events, you could be suffering from a condition called Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD as it is more commonly known. People suffering from this kind of disorder always feel that something disastrous is going to happen, and they cannot stop themselves from worrying about money, health, work, family, college or friends. This worry is unrealistic, making the life a constant state of fear, dread and worry. The anxiety starts dominating the person’s perception, and starts interfering with the daily functioning such as studies, work, relationships or social activities.

Symptoms of GAD

Anxiety can affect the logical thought process of a person leading to a variety of sysmptoms which can manifest themselves physically from any or all of the following: irritability, nausea, headaches, sweating, restlessness, tiredness, frequent urination, insominia and being easily alarmed.

Causes of anxiety are not known fully, but there are various factors that contribute to its development, and these factors are brain chemistry, genetics and environmental stress. People with family history of anxiety are more likely to suffer from it. GAD has been linked with abnormal levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. These are the chemical messengers passing the information between nerve cells, and when they get out of balance, the brain does not receive messages properly. This alters the brain’s reaction to certain situations, causing anxiety.

Certain unpleasant events, like trauma, divorce, death of a loved one, or job stress may cause anxiety, and it becomes worse if there is high level of stress. Click here for more information on Anxiety Therapy.

Treatment of Anxiety

Anxiety is normally treated by psychiatrists or other mental health professionals like psychologists. These professional are trained to diagnose and treat any kind of mental illnesses. Anxiety treatment includes the combination of cognitive-behavioral anxiety therapy and medications. If GAD has started to interfere with everyday functioning, medications can be very useful. These may include tranquillizers to relax and calm the patient.

By recognizing the features that cause anxious behavior, cognitive-behaviour therapy can bring about a change in thought patterns and allow sufferes to deal with them. The therapy helps by having a realistic approach towards worries, and limiting the distorted thinking.

It is believed that GAD cannot be prevented but there are several things that can be done to control the symptons. This would include cutting back on the consumption of coffee, tea, cocoa and cola. It is a good idea to talk with your pharmacist to see if there are any herbal remedies to ease the symptoms. Eat a well-balanced diet, and exercise regularly.

David DeAngelo’s book covers a lot of topics, but the ones I found most interesting were:

• being yourself
• differences between the sexes
• dispelling myths and misconceptions

Should you just being yourself?

David talks about that most guys should not try to be yourself, but instead be the best self he needs to be. I know of a lot of men out there who try to be themselves and fail at getting women, that’s why it’s so vitally critical that they learn how to become attractive to girls first. So you need to stop worrying about trying to be “yourself” and learn how to not be yourself to get women, then learn to incorporate that skill into their own personality!

What are the differences in the gender roles between the sexes?

In the book, David talks about how men and women differ and why men nowadays are confused. The media with it’s TV shows and movies have brainwashed men in our society. They believe that they need to be nice guys, or wussy boys in order to get women. That is where the issues arise. Women are attracted to guys who act like guys. However, since a lot of men are confused, they don’t know what to do and start acting like women. This is the reason why a lot of men fail at getting women, because they keep acting like women themselves!

Misconceptions dispelled

Society has given the impression to men that in order to get women they need to be either, tall, handsome, rich or powerful. This is totally false and not true. Having these things is important, because it shows to girls that a man has a high social status. But in order to have higher social value, a guy doesn’t need to have these materialistic things. DeAngelo gives you great advice on how to make these qualities part of your personality so that you also can get women without being rich or famous!

My conclusion

This was just a quick review of David DeAngelo’s book, Double Your Dating. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I have provided a full and comprehensive review of it here: Double Your Dating

It is inevitable these days that you need to be able to move through documents at a rapid pace, picking out just the words and information that you need. This ability to read more quickly must be learned, since we are taught early on to read words out loud.

Speed reading software has been developed to meet these new learning demands. These products help to ensure that this demand is met and in the most interesting and innovative ways possible. If your mind is used to hearing the words spoken (even in your head) first, it can be difficult to learn to scan documents quickly.

The difference between speed reading and just scanning a document is that you are better able to absorb information when you use proper speed reading techniques. Your eyes and mind work together to accomplish the task.

Probably the greatest aspect of speed reading software is that it makes the process of learning to read fast very enjoyable and quite easy. Most of the free speed reading software incorporates games that, as you play them, are actually teaching you the techniques you need.

Over time, as you learn to speed read, you will train your mind and eyes to read through information more quickly than before without the need to reread the material. If you frequently have to read written documents then this skill will be very useful in teaching you what to focus on.

One of the problems in reading for information is that words often have more than one meaning. However, the techniques that you will learn in the speed reading software games will help you out. It will teach you to link the words that you extract from the document so you can understand the intent of the text.

If you give your best efforts to learning the speed reading software, you will also find that you can produce much better written work. This is because of your new ability to identify the best way to write important information in a basic way that enables the reader to have faster comprehension.

Speed reading isn’t a difficult skill to learn and you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your home if you’re using speed reading software. For many people this is the ideal way to learn something new without getting frustrated.

Open Mind – A Definition

We all like to think that we are open minded. Here is what that means according to a couple different dictionaries: 1. Receptive to new and different ideas or the opinions of others; 2. Not narrow or conservative in thought, expression, or conduct.

That sounds reasonable, and we might want to fit those definitions. The problem comes when we take this to mean that we must entertain any idea regardless of merit, or that believing in unlikely things is a sign of open-mindedness. Then we begin to give too much credit to faulty ideas and unsupportable beliefs in the name of having an open mind.

For example, I watched a program on crop circles the other day. These are circles and other geometric shapes of flattened crops that appear in fields around the world. For years many speculated that spaceships from other planets, “energy vortexes” and other outrageous things caused them. “Experts” claimed that they could not have been caused by humans. Much of the public bought into this hype in the name of having an open mind.

Of course when several individuals and groups finally claimed responsibility, and even showed exactly how they made the designs, they were ignored by many. Some people didn’t have an open mind after all -at least not open to the most likely scenario. They wanted a particular answer (space aliens) or wanted the mystery to be maintained. To this day the tricksters make their designs only to have paranormal “experts” tromp into the fields the following day and proclaim that no human could have done it.

Note that being curious about the mystery, and speculating about possible causes is not the problem. Being “receptive to new and different ideas” is a good thing. Adopting beliefs without supporting evidence may not be, however. Being receptive to the idea that previously unknown forces can cause things to happen is open minded, but it would also be very closed-minded to exclude the possibility that there are more normal explanations – especially when the bulk of the evidence points to this.

So what does it mean to have an open mind? To be receptive to new ideas and to avoid narrowness of thought, certainly. But being open minded doesn’t mean we have to accept ideas that make no sense, or adopt beliefs without any evidence or reason. And it has to mean at least that we are open to the possibility that the explanations we would like or which are more interesting may be wrong.

You have a brain that can analyze various possible explanations for things. An open mind may assure you that you consider all those possibilities, but it shouldn’t prevent you from discarding those explanations without evidence in favor of those with evidence. In other words, it should never be an excuse to believe anything in the absence of good thinking.
