Got the following information from msn.com which I found pretty cool and interesting. I thought I share it, here goes. If you want to be pepped-up, you can use: Peppermint, Basil, Eucalyptus oils on your skin or bath, the scents are calming. Also, you can use Ginseng, Cocoa, Whole wheat, Yellow split peas in your diet. And, listening to your favorite tune, can boost your body's supply of "feel-good" endorphins.
And finally, the 5 signs you're in a unhealthy relationship:
1. Limitations: Afraid to speak your mind! Waliking on egg-shells? Exlosive or negative reations are toxics. In a relationship you need to communicate and express your deep feelings of truth to your partner. If you cannot do that then you may be in a relationship that may not be suited for you or that other person.
2. Independence: Have you changed or lost touch with who you are? Have you become someone else in order to be with your partner? Do you dress differently or hold different opinions now? Have you lost touch with your friends, and only hang out with your partner’s friends? These are signs that you have buried yourself in order to preserve this relationship, and that’s bad for you. Losing you is too high a price to pay for any relationship.
3. Anger & Power: Does your partner try to control you with anger and guilt, or lash out when you don’t do exactly what he or she wants? Has your mate tried to get you to cut off relationships with your friends or family?
4. Physical Abuse: Hitting, slapping, punching, shoving, grabbing or shaking is never OK. Don’t fall into the trap of minimizing, justifying or blaming yourself for any of these behaviours.
5. Verbal Communication: Name-calling, put-downs, insults, contempt, sarcasm and blame are not acceptable ways to treat one’s intimate partner. In addition, if you feel as though you never get anywhere when you try to communicate, if you feel like your mate never understands what you’re trying to express, if you spend large amounts of time preoccupied with what you've said or how it's interpreted, there’s a good chance you are in an emotionally unhealthy relationship.
And what you can do?
• If you feel physically safe, stand up for yourself.
• Say "Stop that" or "I’m not going to let you treat me like this anymore." This may not change the relationship, but it can help you to recover strength and self-esteem.
• Listen to your gut instinct about how you feel in this relationship. Love isn’t supposed to hurt — a good relationship is supposed to bolster self-esteem, not tear it down.
• Find a good individual therapist to help you to clearly see what is happening in this relationship. Perhaps your partner can find his or her own therapist, or the two of you can attend counselling together. Be sure to tell the therapist the truth about what is going on.
• Don’t fall into the trap of trying to change your partner. You'll go nowhere fast. Work on yourself instead.
I feel like this song.. Even though it's from AQUA:
"Freaky Friday"
Howdy people!
Here's a little story 'bout an old friend of mine
And to all you great folks out there
This is hardcore 10-4....
Freaky friday, things ain't going my way
Everything is gone, my life is a country song
Oh-oh
I jumped out of my bed this morning
Then I heard this crunchy sound
From my left leg that was broken
And a note was laying on the ground
Baby, I'm leaving you this minute
Took the car and the cats and dogs
Got the boots and the rhinestone stetson
Nothing's left but the note you got, ah you suck
Freaky Friday, things ain't going my way
Everything is gone, my life is a country song
Freaky Friday, go play on the highway
Everything is wrong, what the heck is going on
On my way through crosstown traffic
I was hit by a giant truck
I came late to work and got fired
Then suddenly the thunder struck
Oh-oh
Baby, I am leaving you this minute
Took the car and the cats and dogs
Got the boots and the rhinestone stetson
Nothing's left but the note you got, ah you suck
Freaky Friday, things ain't going my way
Everything is gone, my life is a country song
Freaky Friday, go play on the highway
Everything is wrong, what the heck is going on
Life's a country song - hardcore 10-4
What the heck is wrong - yiiii-ha
Life's a country song - hardcore 10-4
What the heck is going on
Life's a country song - hardcore 10-4
What the heck is wrong - yiiii-ha
Life's a country song - hardcore 10-4
What the heck is going on
Everything is gone, my life is a country song
Hardcore 10-4
Freaky Friday, things ain't going my way
Everything is gone, my life is a country song
Freaky Friday, go play on the highway
Everything is wrong, what the heck is going on
Well folks, that's all for now
Life is just a long long country song
And that's a big 10-4
Hitting Erica's house this evening... She's coming to get me soon!!! She's having a sushi party. I hope that this helps the day I've had... Laterzzz... ^.^
