How To Be An Effective Distraction
2008-05-23 03:41:00 Any direct mail postcard marketing is going to have a lot of competition. I would hope all businesses would realize that they aren't alone.My mail pile has plenty of different advertisements in it. Some of them I take the time to pick them up and read through what they have to say, and others get dumped right in the trash. What's different between them?The ones I pick up have the right kind of designs, layouts, and colors. They scream out to be seen and I oblige them. The companies that accept they have a lot of competition and do their best to stand out among them are the ones I'm going to look at.Put some serious thought to your postcard printing before you send them out. Is it appropriately attention grabbing? Will it stand out in a pile of postcards?If you don't put enough thought I'll probably be throwing it in the trashcan.

Wisdom or Distraction
2008-02-12 11:27:00 While my community group was taking place last week, I had a supernatural occurrence. I was sitting listening, at the time, to what was being said about communion, when I felt a thump on my shoulder.I was beginning to lean back in my chair, at the time, and thought that I had leaned into something. So, I turned around to see what I had bumped into and there was nothing there. I realized, at that moment, that an entity of one kind or another had just thumped my shoulder.I did not take much time to consider what it could have been. I just kept listening and participating with what was going on in the room. When we had broke up, I mentioned it, but no one responded to what I said, so I let it go.But, Sunday, at church, a man from the group, spoke to me. He is wanting some healing of emotions. We talked about this a while and then he said, that sometimes leaders take things to deep. I must have looked curious, because he kept on going. He said, that God does not, always, want ...

Distraction - A Cure of Panic Attack and Anxiety
2008-01-17 08:18:00 Today's Tip is about the benefits of DISTRACTION In order to move away from the generalized anxiety, which is the anxiety that seems to hover, both before and after the panic attack, you need to throw yourself 100% into whatever is at hand. What is needed is to engage regularly in an activity that stimulates you, and holds your complete attention, something in which you can become completely absorbed. The more physical the activity the better. Something that distracts you is a very valuable tool in taking your attention away from the uncomfortable sensation of anxiety that may be lingering in your body. The more you become involved in one of these activities the more you are engaging with life and the less stagnant and anxious you will feel. Some of the possible activities that interest you could be: Gardening, playing a musical instrument, sport, or simply havin g a good conversation with a friend. The idea here is to find something that you can repeat on a regular basis t...

2008-01-09 00:51:00 I wouldn’t have believed it myself if it hadn’t happened to me personally (why, yes, you’re absolutely right, that does sound like the opening line of a letter to Penthouse Forum! But sorry, it’s not). Two whole days, and I have consumed not one single sweet. No cookies. No cake. No muffins, even. But best of all: no chocolate! My small intestine is saying, “thank you.” My gastric juices are whispering, “we appreciate the time off.” My liver is chanting, “Bless you, my child.” The scale is even winking at me in gratitude. The Girls–well, they’re not as thankful. (”We really do miss getting the leftover bits of those oatbran banana muffins, Mum.“) How did I accomplish such a feat, you ask? Well (like so much else in my life, unfortunately), it wasn’t a conscious choice. I have discovered since our new semester began this week that it is just soooo much easier for me to eat...

2007-12-07 17:09:00 I've been enjoying the symptoms of a cold/flu bug that's been going around. Just the symptoms mind you, I refuse to succumb to any invader- viral or otherwise. That's just the way I am. I've stuck to my exercise regimen despite feeling like crappy crap-- which actually makes me feel better while I am doing it. Icky-ness returns when I stop which makes me wish I had some sort of hamster wheel in my office just to keep the ick at bay.And what a rat-ba$tard the scale has been this week! Oi feh! Wow- sorry. That's just the flu-like symptoms talking. I've been snacking a little more than normal this week- my wife went to a cookie-exchange party the other day and well, there you go.I'm actually feeling better than I have in a few days and am regaining focus. My primary focus is going to be on what I'm eating and when.

Tomgram: Robert Lipsyte, The Endless Summer of Distraction
2007-10-09 19:04:00 by Tom Engelhardt Tomdispatch Jock Culture correspondent Robert Lipsyte launches a new season of sports and politics by considering the major sports scandals that distracted us from all those other scandals of the summer. At this very moment, I'm taking a break from watching the last of my hometown teams in the baseball playoffs — the Mets, my team of choice, hit the skids before the season ended and disintegrated in a way we only wish the Bush administration would — to knock out a quick intro. Distracted? Who me? Far away in Afghanistan, where all the sports seem to be blood sports, the Taliban are resurgent, large numbers of Afghans continue to die in gruesome ways by bombs delivered from the air, by car, or by individual suicide bomber, and records aren't measured in home runs, but in the percentage of the planet's opium crop cornered by its peasant farmers (93%). And let's not forget, the Bush administration, with 25,000 troops in-country along with anth...

iPod on the Run: Musical Inspiration or Dangerous Distraction?
2007-09-15 13:00:00 On a running path, an iPod can be an indispensable aid, offering inspiration and cadence to exercise. However, on a starting line, it's illegal, a safety hazard and, some say, a threat to the purity and spirit of running itself. San Jose, Calif., area high school coaches discourage portable listening devices at practices, and under national rules, they are not allowed in competition.
Are Laptops A Distraction In School?
2007-09-03 06:08:00 Class is in session, which means more work for me. Whenever it comes to getting my classwork done, and taking notes, my computer is an indefensible tool. I tend to have my laptop everywhere I go, and when I am in class taking notes, I have found nothing better than OpenOffice for note taking. It is free as opposed to certain commercial competitors, and it runs on nearly every modern operating system.There are a few issues, and they aren't exactly technical problems. Whenever I can pickup the school's WiFi signal, I sometimes get too distracted talking to my friends on Pidgin (open source instant messenger, like Trillian), and surfing the web, notably Facebook. When it comes down to it, I am not sure if my laptop is more of a help or a hindrance as I am constantly distracted. That's why I usually end up turning off of my wireless card, and proceeding into my class.Whatever the case, the computer is a good thing to have if you don't have the attention span of a monkey.
