Creating Successful Relationships Through Proven Communication Skills
2012-05-21 09:14:00 This is guest post by Dr. Georgianna Donadio, the author of Changing Behavior Nothing is more critical to our health than our relationships and nothing is more critical to our relationships than how we communicate. How often have you had a difficult discussion with someone that didn't go as you intended or left a meeting with an important person in your life unsatisfied? To change these experiences, the answer lies in having the right communication skills and tools that enable us to respond appropriately in a way that is positive for both us, and the other person. These same tools can transform how we behave in relationships and have been shown to lead to more successful and more fulfilling relationships. A study at Brigham Young University factoring in 148 studies involving over 300,000 subjects concluded that friends and social relationships, in addition to enhancing our health also appear to enhance our longevity. Behavior change can seem scary or complicated. If the pay...

2012-03-27 07:59:00 I?m used to January being a bittersweet month and I?ve come to expect February?s to hold some sort of devastation.

What Chemistry can teach us about Relationships by Evan Palmer
2011-07-01 03:17:00 People crave analogies and like magic, they find them everywhere. Most adequate or even instructive; however, some analogies are so compelling that we base our life on them.Our tireless search for answers never stops, whether the questions are valid or not, because we have convinced ourselves that we are on a search for illumination. We turn here and there, this way and that. And now, let us turn to chemistry for guidance - turning to our understanding of the physical world as manifested in its chemistry.The key underlying principle of these bonds, both personal and chemical - is that they are powerful over short distances but weak or non-existent over longer distances. In the personal realm, various technologies can be employed to reduce the perceived or effective distance. Communication technologies are one of the important ways of reducing the perceived distance between people. Memory is another means of diminishing distance by increasing presence. This seems to show that the per...
Congrats, New Yorkers. Your relationships just got awkward.
2011-06-25 13:19:00 Thank-you, New York Senate for creating some serious tension by passing a bill to make gay-marriage legal. I mean YAY for people being treated like humans and it's a great first step for other states to follow suit, but this morning there are going to be some serious misunderstandings. Awkward!I know this awkwardness. It happens after partying. I almost got engaged twice before my husband came along - once on New Year's Day 2000 when everyone thought the world was going to implode. My hangover had its own pulse. Before I opened my eyes, I broke into a sweat because SOMEHOW my ex boyfriend was starring in my face. How did he get there? Why was the world still here?...
The Economy of Relationships
2011-06-01 19:05:00 Money and finances are a major cause of tension and stress in relationships, in fact, I believe it's on the top of the list for reasons for divorce from marriage. The first thing I have to say is, relationships are two imperfect people, and in this case, when it comes to finances, a relationship is two imperfect people managing their finances together. When you make a commitment to one another, whether it be a girlfriend, boyfriend, life-partner, spouse, whatever....you MUST include your finances in the equation.

Update: Facebook is...ruining relationships
2009-08-13 23:14:00 Get the hell off Facebook, and save your relationship! Okay, I got a little carried away there, but I could not help but notice this AP article on the possibly negative effect of Facebook on romantic relationships. The piece features a young lady shocked to find her boyfriend's lips on another woman's cheeks in a tagged photo on FB. She said she planned to have a "talk" with him, though they "trust" each other. (Whatever, honey....he's had plenty of time, post-tag, to come up with an innocent explanation.) But really, this is an issue that may hit very close to home for a number of Kyles Filers.

The Energy Project
2009-08-13 20:46:00 The Energy Project is being implemented across my company. The program is designed to renew and energize your body, emotions, mind, and spirit in order to maximize performance at work. The two day session with Human Resources sucked the life out of me. First off, I had to answer True or F-alse to these questions to determine if "I'm headed for an energy crisis." Body I don’t regularly get at least seven to eight hours of sleep, and I often wake up feeling tired. True. But I make up for it the next day with an overload of caffeine and energy drinks. I frequently skip breakfast, or I settle for something that isn’t nutritious. True. But sometimes the only time married women can hook up is right after their husbands leave for work in the morning. Married women are not nutritious, but they sure do taste good. I don’t work out enough (meaning cardiovascular training at least three times a week and strength training at least once a week). Fa...

What is the role of value in business — and relationships
2009-07-18 07:00:00 Value is an interesting concept, and has many sides to it. Among other factors like price and quality, social media plays a role in determining the level of perceived value in business, an organization, etc. Whatever it is or how you define it, ultimately, nothing is purchased unless high enough value is perceived in that product or service. And, in relationships, you’ll really get no where — or you won’t get far — without contributing value to the personal and professional relationships you have. So, being inspired by Charlie Wollborg’s own thought-provoking and inspiring videos, I offer up my own brief commentary on value and its connection to business and relationships. I am no way comparing my video thoughts to his — Charlie’s are more inspiring, more fluid, more entertaing and more informative. As always, I welcome — and really want — your feedback. Thank you for stopping by. -Mike

Assess – Decide – Do For Relationships
2009-07-08 14:00:00 Assess – Decide – Do is a simple life management framework. Emerged from some limitations of productivity methodologies like GTD, and constructed with a flexible approach, ADD comes handy when you face difficult or pressuring contexts in any areas if your life. At its core, ADD is overwhelmingly simple, it’s entirely up to you to create your very own implementation in whatever area you want to improve. In today’s post I’ll give you some outlines on how I think ADD can be used for relationships. It’s my point of view, which may or may not be congruent with yours. And that’s the beauty of it: being so simple, ADD gives you a lot of room on how to implement it for a specific area, as long as you respect 2 simple rules: at any time you can be only in one realm, being it Assess, Decide or Do the quality of the implementation is given by the Flow, or by the smoothness you achieve in traveling from one realm to another. If you’re new to my blog, or never heard a...

Badlate Rishte
2009-06-25 04:32:00 It is fascinating for me how relationships get evolved from no where. Some of these are formed by a chance meeting or mere acquaintance and they stay forever. I think success of their longevity is the mutual awareness and acceptance of the boundaries that such relationship possess. On the contrary, most structured and formal relationships wither or break away after much of a fan fare. The reason perhaps lie in refusal to accept that there could exist boundaries in such a relationship.Robert Frost poem on 'Looking up by chance' , Deepak Chopra's theory of ' connection at cellular level' and song written by Anand Bakshi ? Yeh Duniya ke Badalte Rishte? make me realize the complex maze of human relationships that can be as fickle as a 'bubble' and as durable as steel threads. I liked the corollary of celestial objects in the poem of Frost to meeting people from nowhere.You'll wait a long, long time for anything muchTo happen in heaven beyond the floats of cloudThe sun and...

Marriage and Being in Favor of Open Relationships, But ?
2009-05-30 01:28:00 The tradition or rather ?institution? of marriage seems to make intuitive sense. Husband and wife form a union and have children and it becomes the nucleus of a family. As parents they take care of each other and their children and the latter grow up in equilibrium of male and female guidance.Of course, there are various criticisms with this traditional and conservative definition of marriage and family. We must not overlook that in fact many of it may seem logical and intuitive but that ? alas - human nature follows its own logic. Part of it may be the fault of our libido, or sexuality, something that has come into the forefront especially since Freud has made sexuality the focal issue of his psychoanalysis. And no matter how much we may stress that we are essentially good and moral, that sex is lust and leads us into temptation and strays us from the correct path, that sex may be even filthy, that sex is unnatural and even abnormal among same-sex partners and whatever else many pe...

Straight people forming gay relationships and gay sexual contacts
2009-04-18 18:23:00 I am noticing more and more that the concept of straight women involved sexually and romantically is gaining popularity. Oprah's March issue of "O" had an article on Why Women Are Leaving Men for Other Women.Oprah also did a show on this topic.The NYT on January 22, 2009 did an article called, What Do Woman Want, By DANIEL BERGNER.I am currently working on research to validate my findings as well as treatment of straight males who are engaging in sexual behaviors with other males.Perhaps this is a taboo topic STILL! and it is easier to understand that women are doing this so it is receiving more public exposure.I am going to make sure that this topic of SMSM's stays in the public eye through this blog. All over Craigslist.com you can find these straight men looking for other men so it does exist and cannot be denied.What are your thoughts as to why there is so much exposure for straight women involved with other women (SWSW) but not the same is being exposed about straight males i...
