Life Skills For Teens
Picture the world at large as a vast ocean, awesome in its beauty and frightening in its power. You are the captain (or co-captain) of a family-owned ship that is traversing the waters. The crew has been with you for over a decade. Within a short time, several members of the crew will leave the ship to pilot boats of their own.
The ship in this metaphor is your home, the crew your family. The co-captains are the parents in charge of preparing their teenagers for independence. What abilities will these adolescents need in order to sail the waters of the world safely?
They will need the skills that are encapsulated by the acronym, "STORMS."
Self-care
Time management
Organization and cleanliness
Relationships
Money and finance
Stress management
Following is a brief description of each of these skills:
Self-care
By the end of adolescence your children need to be capable of taking full responsibility for themselves. The most effective way to prepare them for this level of independent functioning is to gradually lessen your involvement in their daily lives and allow them to take the helm.
It is indeed difficult to let go. Yet, if you try to maintain control by deciding everything for them, you stifle their growth, endanger their self-esteem and run the risk of alienating them. Your role at this stage is to supervise your teenagers to make sure that they “stay the course,” i.e., remain within healthy guidelines.
Time Management
This skill overlaps with the previous one because utilizing time to meet one's needs is essential to self-care. Managing time well is evident, for example, when your teenager is able to awaken on time to meet the school bus, arrive promptly for appointments, and finish school projects before their deadlines.
A deficiency in time management may be caused by any number of factors beyond simple “laziness.” The cause may be physical, emotional or neurological. Therefore, if you see that your teenager is consistently late or seems unmotivated to get things done on time, it may be a sign that your child needs help. Consider all possibilities and seek guidance.
Organization and Cleanliness
You’ve already laid the groundwork for organizational ability by means of consistent and reliable parenting. In addition, you’ve probably spent many hours teaching your children to pick up their clothes and put their toys away.
Now it's time to close the door to their rooms if your adolescents are too messy by your standards. In that way, you can keep the rest of the house organized and your relationship with your adolescent intact.
Relationships
Teenagers, while involved in peer relationships, still look to their parents for guidance. Parents and other important adults serve as role models for them. Take the opportunity whenever possible to validate your teenagers’ feelings by communicating with them in a mature, respectful manner.
Your ability to listen to an adolescent’s opinions, even when the latter are contrary to your own or seem to make no sense, will strengthen your relationship with each other.
Furthermore, adolescents are skilled observers of what goes on in the house. Therefore, the way that you handle conflicts and disagreements with other members of the family demonstrates to your children what they might expect when they try to speak up. When you control your own emotions, you create a safe environment in which adolescents can express themselves.
Money and Finance
Teaching one's teenagers how to handle money means that they need money of their own to spend. They can acquire money through birthday and holiday gifts, weekly allowances or payment for completing chores. The goal is for them to realize that they are using their own limited funds rather than spending money from an unlimited source.
Another way of preparing your teens for future budgeting is through storytelling. When you relate your own financial struggles as a young adult you convey a true, first-person account of what it’s like to live through lean times. Be careful, however, not to lecture your adolescents. They will learn best by hearing your stories and then drawing their own conclusions.
Stress Management
Stress management is an all-purpose skill that is useful in every area of life.
One might think that teenagers lead a stress-free life. But adolescence is a time of tremendous changes, both internal and external. As a result of these changes, our adolescents expect more of themselves and we expect more of them as well. Higher expectations, in turn, lead to higher levels of stress.
Stress management involves two crucial steps:
1) Awareness of signs of stress overload; e.g., changes in sleeping or eating patterns, avoidance and withdrawal from friends and family, or unexplained sadness or depression.
2) An ability to lower the stress level by means of healthy coping mechanisms, such as exercise, relaxation techniques and supportive relationships.
Many adolescents cope well with the stress in their lives, especially if they have close friends who can serve as confidants. However, even friends may not suffice if the pressure rises above a threshold that they can handle.
A Nautical Summary
Your adolescent is now ready to practice some crucial life skills. Stand back and watch them as they try to guide the ship through variable waters. When there is a squall ahead, do the best that you can, standing at your child’s elbow, reinforcing lessons already learned. Continue to manage the rest of the crew and model the behaviors that you want to see. It takes time to get through basic training. When they’re done, they will have the aptitude to steer through STORMS.

Blood Type Diet
People are always looking for a new, innovative approach to weight loss success. The Blood Type Diet offers a new way of looking at the way that we eat. The focus is on our circulatory systems and the specific type of blood in our systems. This unique approach may or may not hold water but it may be worth looking into for more information.
The Blood Type Diet is the brainstorm Peter D’Adamo. He believes that each blood type needs to have a specific eating plan catered to its general features. If you following the eating plan specified for your type you should be able to see great reduction in extra pound in a short while.
I find little wonder in that. I have A positive blood and my eating plan includes fruits and vegetables. This is not the ideal plan for a high protein weight loss fan. There are plenty of carbohydrates and not much of anything else on the type A plan. I have to agree that I will probably lose weight, but who wouldn’t?
The type A’s should not eat any diary or meat. Basically, we are the vegetarian group. This is really bad news for me because I like to eat a well balanced collection of foods. I never like to completely cut anything out of my eating plan. The Blood Type Diet may be a little restrictive for some.
However, the Blood Type Diet is not just about weight loss and weight regulation. This plan is designed to address a person’s general health. The people who fall under the type A category have certain health characteristics that are outlined by the Blood Type Diet. There are reasons to avoid dairy and meat for this group that goes beyond weight.
There is also the fact that the type A group can still enjoy fish and chicken on the plan. Realistically, I just don’t see myself sticking to the Blood Type Diet for long. Nevertheless, I am going to give it a serious try. We are not just dealing with maintaining a healthy weight; we are concerned with overall health.
I figure that I will give the plan two short weeks. If I feel better, have more energy and if I have dropped a few pounds I may continue the Blood Type Diet. I would rather feel great and be healthy than eat meat and dairy and day.

Benefit of green tea
When I first started drinking it, I was not even aware of the benefits of drinking green tea. I knew that it tasted good, and that was enough. My grandmother used to drink green tea all the time, and I grew up drinking it instead of soda. I have known for a long time that soda has many negative health consequences, and have been glad that I never got into the habit of consuming it. What I did not know was that what I was drinking in its place can actually help my health. But more and more, science has been discovering the benefits of green tea.
The most well-known benefit of green tea, of course, is its antioxidant effect. Of all of the benefits of green tea, this one is perhaps the most important for health. You see, antioxidants reduce the effects of free radicals, molecules which can age and prematurely destroy cells. Anything that has antioxidants is good for preventing free radical damage, but the benefits of green tea are much greater than for most antioxidants. Green tea can even help to prevent cancer, a fact only recently studied by science.
Another one of the benefits of green tea is its soothing effects. Although these come down largely to the fact that it is a warm, comforting liquid, nonetheless they are pronounced. A recent study suggests that tea drinkers, whether they drink black tea, green tea, or a white tea, have lower stress levels. Of course, you can get the same effect by drinking black tea, but since green tea has a lower dose of caffeine and more healthy antioxidants than black tea does, it is better for your health.
Many people like to take green tea concentrate as a way to try to increase its effects. The problem with this is that the benefits of green tea have mostly been studied with brewed tea. Although there is a good chance that capsules filled with tea would work every bit as well, it is not known for sure. To me it seems like a much better idea not to risk it. Enjoy a healthy couple every morning and every evening, and it is assured that you will enjoy the benefits of green tea. Not only will this be good for you, but you will get to savor the delicious taste as well. To me, there is nothing else like it.

What's done is done. It is said that the most difficult thing to do in life is to give love when you feel you've been treated unfairly. Learning to give love regardless of what has happened or been done to you is empowering. It may seem challenging to let go of hurt feelings, but it is really in your best interest to do so. Harboring negative feelings toward another only increases the levels of stress hormones in your body, constricts your blood vessels and raises blood pressure putting excess strain on your heart and weakening your immune system. When you choose forgiveness, you are at peace...and you may be surprised to find how easy it becomes when you soften your heart. You will find you have to forgive less often when you come from a place of love. Love is a positive high frequency emotion which can heal and help us overcome. When you are love, you give it freely and it is returned to you abundantly. Fewer situations will arise that bring personal hurt.
Whether you laugh naturally or you learn to include the behavior it has important influence on your heart. Exercising, not smoking and eating foods low in saturated fat will reduce the risk of heart disease however hearty laughter should be added to the list. You actually reduce your risk of experiencing a heart attack when you include humor in your daily life. Laughter produces Endorphins, "natural endogenous morphine-like substances, or simply put, your body's natural pain killer. The key to your longevity? Incorporate humor and laugher into your daily activities, just as you would other heart-healthy activities, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Perhaps there's something to be learned from someone that is "light-hearted"!

Simple Good Health For Good Living
Good health is easy but being sick is hard. The truth is, maintaining good health is pretty simple although reclaiming it takes patience, consistent actions and smart choices. Your body heals at it's own pace. Your job is to help that process along. There are four important components that determine a person's level of health.
Component One: Is their body being fed what it needs to be healthy? From the point of view of the body, many meals today barely qualify as food. That's why disease care is a trillion dollar business and over 60% of Americans are overweight.An amazing amount of the American diet is packed with calories carrying no real nutrition. Like good health, eating vital, real food is easy, but that is a decision you have to make.
Component Two: Does the person have a cork stuck up their butt? Are they constipated? Can the body eliminate toxins effectively? Other organs get constipated besides the bowels. Most diseases involve the starvation or constriction of a group of organs. Often food is clogging the machinery. Some foods clog and others clean. Some foods support the health of the organs and others destroy them.
Component Three: Do they feel loved? There's nothing like loving when it comes to good health. People in loving relationships eat together. The quality of the food is an expression of their affection. Most of good health is attitude and self-image and they're linked to how you love. Continuously work on improving your ability to love and good health is easy.
Component Four: Do they enjoy their work and feel they make a contribution, even if it seems frivolous to someone else? This attitude is often more important to good health than what it is you actually do, or how much you earn. It's being connected, valued and on a mission. It keeps the inner flame alive and like love, offers that most valuable asset to healing, a sense of hope. Patiently improve these four components and good health is easy.
Now, cut yourself some slack. Health challenges make people feel guilty, stupid or victimized. Whether you believe you create your own health or that problems simply fall out of the sky, realize that these days, good health barely seems like an option for many people. Health education has fallen down on the job and the result is a trillion dollar plus medical bill. Part of the problem is that the conscious mind wasn't designed to be responsible for your health. Read that again.
Your conscious mind doesn't have the job skills, although it can be a good helper. Finding healthy foods and detoxification are managed by the autonomic (read automatic) nervous system. For example: When you're low in a certain nutrient, this is what the body does. All blood flows through the liver, the largest internal organ, which notes that the blood is low in that nutrient, so it sends a message to the tongue, forming a crystalline pattern in the saliva, that mimics the food that contains that nutrient.
Now the nose, who is in the same neighborhood, sniffs out that food and then it's lunch. This message process bypasses the conscious mind. But modern foods don't offer the choices that the autonomic system requires to maintain good health. It's that simple. A major portion of the American diet is glue; hybridized wheat and cow dairy, cheap, plentiful, with a great profit margin. Wheat is high in gluten (GLUtEn) and cow dairy is high in casein, like the white craft glue from Elmer's. That's why their logo is Elsie the Cow.
Now manufacturers have found an even cheaper food; soy, high in the estrogens that promote obesity and hormonal challenges, which is one of the reasons why today's generation possesses half of the fertility of their grandparent's generation. Choosing to eat these glues causes many people's poor level of health. The body's design requires graceful, gradual change. As you move forward in your healing, realize the pace at which the body restores itself has to do with the design of the cell.
When the body makes a new cell, it will design it for the quantity of nutrition present at the time the cell is created. The body doesn't like to waste resources so it won't create a cell capable of processing huge amounts of nutrition if there's only a fraction of that floating around. When you improve your diet and add supplements, the current cells have very real limits as to what they can use. However, when you maintain high levels of nutrition, the next generation of cells will be created with an increased capability. Even they won't be running at their full potential, because in order to fit in with the previous matrix, their lower capabilities have to overlap the higher capabilities of their weaker predecessors.
As you maintain that high level of nutrition, the following generations will push those limits up another step and another step and so on. That's why it takes a while to reach optimal health. For example, a red blood cell has a life span of 120 days, so how many cellular generations will it take to reach your fullest potential? Then to maintain good health you need to keep providing high levels of nutrition through making smart food choices and active supplementation.
In other words, once you start dancing, keep dancing! The three habits that lead to good health are: Be consistent, be patient and always aim to improve all four components; good nutrition, effective detoxification, good loving and good work.
