My Journey to Regaining Confidence

Filed under: Beautiful You, Health Info, Life Of Self Improvement — admin @ 5:18 am

My hair loss treatment journey started the day I started to notice my receding hair line and my bald spot getting bigger. I would spend hours and hours looking for styles to comb my hair a certain way to hide my hair loss. I started wearing more hats on the weekends as I went out with my wife, acquaintances or family. Walking in to work every morning without my hat was a difficult experience. Your mind will do that to you when you are experiencing hair loss. It is so true that you never know what you have until you lose it. That can be true about your hair loss.

As I looked in the mirror I started to treasure every one of the hair strands I had left. It was as if with each strand of hair I lost, so was a small part of my self-confidence gone as well. A acquaintance of mine had been having the same problem as me. Yet recently he seemed so much more relaxed and I noticed that it was as if his hair was growing back. I never wanted to bring it up but after a while I decided to ask. That is when he told me about Advanced Hair Studio. My friend Josh told me that he had only had a few treatments and has already started to see some positive results, he not only regrown his hair, but his confidence as well. I decided to give Advanced Hair a try as after all I had a lot to lose, meaning my hair and self-assurance.

I have to admit that I was a little sceptical at first. Results were evident within a few weeks. Not only on my scalp, but in my behavior. I started to lose the hats on the weekends and I quickly began to feel better about myself. My wife who has been unhappy about my lack of interest in our relationship began to notice the change in that department as well. It is amazing how just a few visits to the Advanced Hair Studio had begun to change my life as a whole. I have constantly been worried about people discovering my bald spot. Now, I am not afraid to look people in the eyes again as I have my full set of hair back.

Advance Hair Studio has not only given me back my hair, but a big chunk of my life as well. If you are going through hair loss I highly recommend them as it has done so much for me in just a few months of treatments. Don’t let your confidence continue to be lost with your hair.

Improve Expectations with Your Practical Dating Service for Caring Singles

Filed under: Finding Friends Online, Life Of Self Improvement, Support — admin @ 7:14 am

A bunch of folks call me a romantic, because setting people up is a my natural job. I highly endorse joining Great Expectations. Can’t be denied, the spirit of love strikes when I don’t even realize it. Great matchmakers, like this dating service for Milwaukee singles (one of the best), know Milwaukee’s qualified singles well. Great Expectations Milwaukee would coordinate optimized dates as any good friend does, and that’s my method as well. That’s just a small role delivering significant return by developing companionship till “death do us part”.

I have offered dating advice on the web and for as long as I can remember. My latest post won’t be the same old stuff. You’ve heard them all, I’m sure. Take an interest in conversational tone, dispaly some sense of style, do not be afraid to use charm, be honest and (a doozie) steer clear of grading your dates in your thoughts. Take it breazy, and take your time! Welcome a relationship if you like. Another important one: keep it real and don’t try to pass as someone is not you. Consider ramifications if the date develops into something deep, then you’ll be in an awkard place. My number one dating tip: it always helps to have Great Expectations Milwaukee. It’s no secret that dating advice is what I do best I have offered singles for years. My great successes with those who know me helped establish my title. Happy couples fill my life.

There’s Rebecca and Juan with their 4 little ones. Take a stab at who set-up these two at an improv class in college, and the magical outcome is apparent. Fernando and Caroline also fell head over heels because I introduced them on a blind date last year. And of course my soririty sister Amanda and her fiance. You know I’ll be there when these two get hitched in Deluth next November. My favorite couple, they met with Great Expectations, on my behest.

It appears I have kept right on with these arrows, and very resourceful too! But all this time, as I’ve been getting really good at matching up people realize the attitude needed to build a relationship, I paid little attention to my personal dating health. Do you imagine catastrophy lurks when the matchmaker seeks a matchmaker? I can’t wait to meet desirable Great Expectations Milwaukee singles, ’cause if one is highly knowledgable with something one can be picky. Perhaps similar thinking has kept me from really getting serious about dating. If anyone does, I should know it’s not good to walk this world alone. So that’s where I’m at, setting out on a dating adventure by meaningful companionship.

Getting a Lost Confidence Thru My Well-Crafted Human Hair Wigs

Filed under: Beautiful You, Health Info, Life Of Self Improvement — admin @ 8:11 am

Till recently, lace front wigs weren’t always my passion. Anchoring the nightly news was the thing that occupied my mind. This applied until two years ago when my hair was falling out due to medical hair loss. I pronounced that I cannot permit the chance of living as a chrome-dome Mr. Clean of this world.

I imagined I lost confidence, robbed of a real head of hair. I believed that it would be impossble to recover full hair. Buddy, was I incorrect. Before I got my authentic wig, I found a barrage of inadequate unnatural hair pieces that didn’t suit my complexion. My soulmate Gordon told me about a few medical wig stores offering lace front wigs that would look great.

Well I walked to the store and surveyed the options. I happened upon a diverse world of, practical real hair wigs. Their tailored invisible lace wigs worked!

Given the best wig, a proud individual similar to myself would grow courage working towards growing comfortable with her medical hair loss. Not since I was a girl did I want to parade my latest golden locks. It was magical to finally go about as I used to on the job.

It’s likely things are not as great as they seem, but remember looks are important to my profession. Could there be something else to being alive than a great head of hair? You know, it wouldn’t matter anyway if it were true. Wigs are stylish fashion pieces to so many women.

You can’t understand what this has felt like. Only close friends and family know the reality of me and wearing a wig. Still that’s how it goes, I’m simply prepared to look fabulous for my husband again. Lace front wigs made so much better for me and everyone who depends on me.

Many may feel my method superficial. They’re ignorant! I don’t care who you are, what creature comforts make living so amazing? Speaking for myself, the secret is my family and my attention-getting sense of fashion.

Feel Good About Your Wig!

Getting To The Root Of Unhappiness

Filed under: Life Of Self Improvement — admin @ 8:11 am

Many people live in clutter, emotionally eat themselves into overweight, live in debt, hate their jobs and otherwise live unhappy lives, unable and seemingly unwilling to change. Why? What do these have in common? What is the core issue?


Fear, or rather an absence of love.


Fear, and not hate, is the “dark side” or opposite/absence of love, the way darkness is the opposite/absence of light.


Whether your self image is controlled by unhealthy or uncontrolled overweight or fanatic perfection, both stem from fear. In the first, food is used to comfort upset emotions and to retreat into - a true friend that never lets you down. In the latter (and sometimes the former), control over the body supplants a loss of control elsewhere in life, eventually taking over that life.


Clutter is almost always fear-based - fear of not having something and needing it, fear of getting rid of something important, fear of leaving oneself open to new experiences (which can’t come in because your house - and by extension your life - is already full) and fear of being alone with oneself and one’s thoughts (clutter requires so much of our energy to deal with and work around, it can serve as a sort of mental static to keep us too busy to think about important things).


Debt is another symptom of fear - people get into debt for many fear-based reasons (like needing stuff to make themselves feel better, or for fear of not keeping up with the Jones’ and being socially outcast). Another part to this equation is that many people will not get rid of their access to credit (cut up cards, etc) because there is always that “what if an emergency happens and we don’t have cash on hand to pay for it?” which is made moot by the fact that most of their credit cards are maxed out anyway. Debt is also a symptom of the fear of doing without, even when carried to extremes. The fear of going without and the feelings of “being without” fancy clothes or expensive meals out is no less than the fear and experience of going without basic clothing and food, although the reality is different.


Working at a job you hate is nothing but fear - fear of not having enough, fear of quitting and not being able to find other work (or finding it and being stuck with something even worse), fear of not being to keep up with your “stuff habit” or your debt, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of relying on yourself, fear of doing things differently or out-of-the-box (running your own business, running off to Mexico, etc), fear of letting the family down, fear of “wasting” your education, fear of what other will say, think, fear that your mom/dad/sister/evil art teacher were right and so on.


Fear is the basis for pretty much all human suffering, not counting natural disasters and other acts of God. And the opposite of fear is love. Love creates an ecosphere of calm and plenty, because you know there is enough (if only just enough) and so feel no need to “get mine before someone else does.” Nor do you feel the need to hoard (clutter) or gather in more than you can afford (debt) to assure yourself of plenty. In a world of love, all are accepted and loved for their own personal strengths and forgiven their faults, therefore negating the need for drowning in the comfort of stuff and food (debt and overweight), or worrying about what others will think if you quit your job to become a Mexican portrait painter (toxic job). And on and on.

Learn to live with love, for yourself and for others, even when they don’t meet your standards (even the rich and awful deserve your love, for they serve their purpose, too). Creating a world of love is up to each of us. We cannot wait to see if others take the first step. They are waiting for us.

What’s The Outcome?

Filed under: Life Of Self Improvement — admin @ 9:59 pm

‘Begin to imagine what the desirable outcome would be like. Go over these mental pictures and delineate details and refinements. Play them over and over to yourself.’

Maxwell Maltz - US plastic surgeon, motivational author, and creator of the Psycho-Cybernetics, 1927-2003

Sitting beside my husband and my father, while they watched the soccer that had been heralded as ‘the match of the season’, I wasn’t watching the match, but their reaction to it. The final score was nil-nil and the post-match analysis from the experts in the television studio was also interesting. The big question being asked was did the teams really intend to win this game or were they happy to have a draw? The disappointment from my two chaps watching was interesting. They wanted to see some good, clean, aggressive, football, but the tactical game doesn’t necessarily make for good viewing. What was the outcome? For the teams, a step further on their move towards their final achievement, but at home, two very disappointed viewers.

I have no personal interest in soccer, nor any other sport (as a spectator), although I have great respect for the commitment from the individual players. Any activity that requires someone to dedicate their time and energy to a particular aim can only be something I can appreciate. All my work is about helping others do just this, so it is not only the effort that I am interested in, but the motivation behind it. Earlier in the day, I had heard a radio interview with Dame Kelly Holmes (UK Olympic athletic gold medalist) who was talking about goals and how to set them effectively.

What was her motivation? She’s retired from athletics now, but still driven to make the most of her new goals, even though it’s not necessarily in the field of athletics. She’s tasted success, so is motivated to succeed. She knows what the outcome is that she wants to achieve. How about you? Do you know what it is that you desire? What are you hoping to achieve? Have you really thought about it? For each and every action you take you should be clear about its purpose. What is your intended outcome?

Have you really considered what it is you are aiming to achieve? What is the outcome you intend? Are the steps you are planning realistic and achievable? Do they stretch you enough to be challenging, but rewarding? Consider everything you aim to do this year. Have you thought it through properly? It each step clear to you? Is everything you are planning to do designed to move you towards your goals?

What did you avoid doing last year? Is it something you can discard because it really has no meaning in your plans for the future, or is it something that you really need to address? What result do you want? If you keep deferring taking action, then what are the chances of you moving forward and achieving your aims?

What do you want to achieve for yourself this year? Not professionally, but for you, personally. Are the outcomes you want to achieve based on your personal development - mentally, physically? Do you need to improve your fitness, your nutrition, and your mental acuity? Would you like to take up a new hobby or go back to study? Picture yourself doing this new thing, being that new person. Picture the outcome you desire. Now take action.

What do you aim to achieve physically this year? Are you happy to stay as you were? Or is 2006 the year that you have decided to take command of your own health? What does being more active mean to you? Can you picture how you want to be? What will you look like? How will you measure your level of fitness, of stamina? Do you need to enlist help? (I can recommend this!)

What do you really want to achieve this year and beyond? Have you written it down? Made any plans? I am not talking about New Year Resolutions here, made on the spur of the moment, but of real desire for change, for development, for the building of dreams. What makes you yearn to have it, to be it? What is the thought that won’t go away?

Without taking action, the changes that occur are not of your own making, but usually as the result of someone else’s activity. Is this what you want? Or do you wish to take control of your own future and be pro-active? By doing something new everyday to move you towards your desired outcome, however small that action may be, you will be in the driving seat.

There is a whole year ahead of you for creative pursuits. Is 2006 the year you take up painting? Dance? Join the Drama group? Start that novel you’ve been thinking about for years? The opportunities for creativity are all around us and we can incorporate them into our daily lives with just a little thought and imagination.

Not everything we do has a monetary price tag. However, there may well be a cost in time and effort. Weigh up the expense of carrying forward with your plans. Then look at the cost of not doing anything. In the long-term, which will be dearer? If the cost is too high, be it in monetary, relationship or exertion terms, then that is something you need to consider carefully. If, however, you achieve what you set out to do, with time and effort and hard graft being the only main expense, then you know it was worth it.
