Welcome to Self Help News

I have just set up this blog,  I have a very strong interest in the self help field, I guess because I have had to do a lot of it.  Back in 1987 I was going to farrier school in Corvallis Oregon at the OSU horse facility and I would prowl the used bookstores for whatever struck my fancy and I go hooked on self help books, I remember one in particular was titled “Act As If” and that book has probably done more that any other book to assist me in my life.  Quite simple really, want to be a horseshoer, act as if you are one, want to be brave act as if you really are brave.  Works most of the time,  just check with reality once in a while for your personal safety and sanity.

Now with the web, even more self help information is available, and I have accumulated a lot of private label rights to self help topics so I decided to share most of it for free, I am giving away a nice 50 page report “How to take control” if you want to sign up for my newsletter, it is right over there.

Here are six tips to help to
resolve conflicts as quickly and
painlessly as possible:

1. Hold your temper. Be slow to
become angry. Count to 10 to 100 if
necessary or walk away and give
yourself time to control your
anger before you make a hasty
reply. Anger is an unproductive
emotion that will only prolong
the conflict.

2. Avoid pointing out mistakes the
other person made directly. No one
likes to be criticized. Rather
choose your words carefully and
point out errors the other person
has made indirectly. Samuel Butler
said it best.   A person convinced
against his will is of the same
opinion still.

3. Look for common ground.
Compromise is an art form. There
is usually a way that everybody
can come together on at least one
point in a conflict and resolution
of the conflict can be built on
compromise.

4. Admit you mistakes. If you
determine that you were wrong in a
dispute, admit it. Eating crow is
never very tasty but its not as
hard to swallow when it is fresh.

5. Lead by example. Admit your own
mistakes before pointing out a
similar mistake made by another
person. We always learn more from
our mistakes than from  anything we
accidentally do right.

6. Mend your fences and do it as
quickly as possible. Say you are
sorry whether you are, at the
moment, or not. Sometimes just a
little time will resolve a
conflict. This is a quote from
the smartest woman I ever knew, my
grandmother.  Don’t let the sun set
on a hard heart good advice.

Are you more cynical, critical
and sarcastic at work?

Have you lost your ability to
experience joy?

Do you have to drag yourself to
work and have trouble getting
started once you arrive.

Have you become more irritable
and less patient with co-workers,
customers or clients?

If you answered yes to these
questions, you are probably
suffering from burnout. So what
can you do about it?

Here are a few suggestions:

1. Start your day with some high
energy music. That might not sound
like it will help, but it does.
Research has shown that people who
use high energy music to start
their day and before they face
challenging situations have
increased productivity by as much
as 200%!

2. The past is over, drop it. If
you cant get over something that
went wrong in your life,
remember this quote, Do not
blame yourself for past errors.
You are no longer the same person
who made them and you cannot blame
a person who does not exist.

3. Put a humor board in your
office. Laughter helps ease stress
and bring mountains back down to
mole hills where they belong.
Learn to see humor in difficult
situations. A good, hearty laugh
is the best stress releaser of all.

4. Take a break of just slow down:
Take inventory of your business,
personal life, accomplishments and
goals. Take the time to reflect and
think. This revitalizes the mind
and refreshes the spirit.
