Some people love rollercoasters and scary movies – but why? What is the appeal of being scared half to death? Today, you’ll find out why. http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/10/why-do-some-brains-enjoy-fear/280938/?single_page=trueWe’ve all been in the situation where we HAVE to perform well and because of that we lose our confidence, get nervous and catastrophize all the horrible things that could happen if we fail. Why on earth do we do that when it does nothing but makes us perform even worse? The trick is to “psych yourself up.” Daniel McGinn, senior editor at Harvard Business Review and author of the book, Psyched Up: How the Science of Mental Preparation Can Help You Succeed (http://amzn.to/2sv4p4Q) offers some suggestions, based on research, that can help you perform better when there is a lot on the line. How many times did you hear a teacher say to never to end a sentence with a preposition? Is it really such a sin? A grammar expert explains the truth about where that rule came from and whether or not it is important to follow it. http://mentalfloss.com/article/68490/4-fake-grammar-rules-you-dont-need-worry-about Why does it seem that when families get together, it always leads to trouble? Family therapist Eric Maisel, author of the book Overcoming Your Difficult Family (http://amzn.to/2rjwPui) explains why when families gather they have trouble getting along and what you can do to rise above it all and save your sanity.

Whose family is free of drama and challenging relationships? Even small difficulties get magnified in troubling times, like ours. The amount of discord that emerged over the family dinner table last Christmas has not been healed. What had been under the surface, grew to unmanageable proportions and erupted in arguments that still hang in the air. Family therapy is not always an option or even the best option. Sometimes we just have to learn how to take care of ourselves. In doing so, we might even be surprised by the healing that emerges for others. There are strategies that we can learn to help us develop strength, calm and resilience even within families that are abusive, anxiety-ridden, critical, intrusive, addicted, chaotic, hopeless, loveless, divisive and/or materialistic. Some people try to escape by moving away, but the pain is still there. It is possible to truly overcome your difficult family. Please join us Thursday to learn how.
