Addiction is a disease and it doesn’t only affect our bodies and brains, but it affects our spirit as well. There is a movement in the addiction industry toward a more holistic approach to treatment where the whole person is treated rather than just physiological symptoms or superficial emotional anxieties. Spiritual therapy is an integral part of recovery and is increasing borrowing from other traditions.

My son had to have a little mole on the back of his neck removed. It was no big deal, but it was in a spot that his shirt collar would irritate it. When the doctor looked at it about a week and a half ago, she told him they would have to numb it up and cut it off. He got the typical “I know you don’t mean there’s a needle involved” look on his face. For the next week and a half he worried about it. Yesterday, when we went to the specialist to have it removed she told him they had some ointment they could put on his skin that would numb it up and they wouldn’t have to use a needle. Of course that meant we had to sit around for an hour to let the medicine take effect, but he said he was fine with that. (That was nice of him.) After the doctor put the ointment on his neck and left the room, he looked at me and said, “Man, I am SO spoiled!”

In general, borrowers shopping for a convenience store loan will be pleased with the number of options available to them. Including conventional, SBA and a few CMBS programs.

One of the biggest components to convenience store loans is whether or not the subject property offers gasoline. Basically any convenience store that offers gasoline will be classified as a gas station and borrowers should seek financing under that category. As a side note, we happen to be working with a borrower who had his convenience store loan in process. The over eager loan officer had it wrongly classified as convenience store(not as a gas station). As soon as the appraisal company came out to the facility and reported its finding to the funding bank the loan was immediately declined. This of course wasted $5,000 for the borrower and 3 months of his time.

Home staging works. We know this.

Why does it work? Lots of reasons - it illustrates lifestyle, demonstrates space and potential, gives competitive advantage, differentiates a home and, most importantly, gets the place sold.

How does it do that? By shoring up the value and engaging a buyer’s emotions. Jeanette Fisher calls the emotional side of marketing Design Psychology. She writes about it beautifully in her book.

For me, selling a house is about getting it into mint condition, (shoring up the value) and then illustrating the home’s assets by triggering emotion.

How do you know which stocks to invest in? There are literally hundreds of thousands of stocks out there available on the stock market, just waiting for you to buy shares in them, with the promise of making you money if you hold onto their stock long enough.

Unless you have a particularly strong disposition to one particular industry, you might it find it next to impossible to find the perfect stock to invest in. How do you know which stock will earn you money? How do you know which stock will lose you money? It almost seems like gambling to invest in stocks, doesn’t it?

Positive affirmations help us build self-confidence and self-esteem. We use affirmations to control our fears and anxieties and remind us of how we are making a positive difference in our lives. Positive affirmations can be successfully utilized in all areas to enhance personal growth.

What is an Affirmation?

An affirmation is a statement that you repeat to yourself constantly. People use affirmations constantly without realizing what they are doing.

Sooner or later, we all give in to the urge to procrastinate, even when we know we face serious consequences. We think of many excuses to justify our procrastination, but whatever the reason, the result is the same - we delay doing what must be done.

OxyContin killed my son. This drug is handed out like candy. Every year families everywhere are suffering the loss of a loved one from accidental overdoses from this addictive drug. “The Arizona Republic” newspaper reported that Purdue Pharma L.P., the makers of OxyContin, have agreed to pay $19.5 million to 26 states and the District of Columbia to settle complaints over its promotion of OxyContin. The states complained that Purdue encouraged physicians to prescribe OxyContin for use every eight hours, rather than the 12-hour dose approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy shows on TV, should we love them or loathe them? The hypnosis practitioner community voices vastly differing views. Many professional hypnotherapists express disdain and disgust at TV hypnotists and their shows. Such is the strength of feeling, it is a wonder that some hypnotherapists actually praise and enjoy the shows. So what is going on, you may ask; after all, this is entertainment. It is only TV. Or is it?
