3 Easy Ways to Help Control Anxiety

3 Easy Ways to Help Control Anxiety pinterest.com Every time something bothers you and you get those uncomfortable butterflies in your chest, grab a pen and paper or sit down in front of your computer and write about it. You dont have to post it anywhere or let anyone read it, but get it out on paper. Have a personal blog or journal that is private for you, or post it as some kind of helpful content to others. I promise, writing about your worries will help relieve some of that anxiety you feel like you just cant shake. If something happens to you and you feel like you are going to bust, hold it together, get to your journal, and let it all out. Finding a hobby kind of goes in there too, as writing can be a hobby but Im going to leave that for another top 3. #2) TALK ABOUT IT emaze.com I know a lot of people struggling with anxiety might have a problem opening up and talking about it. You can talk to your friends, parents, God, or even a therapist. Speaking of therapy, dont be embarrassed to go to a session or two. If you need it you need it and it will help. You dont have to tell a soul about it. Its confidential and all between you and your doctor. On that note, make sure you have a good therapist. I went to see one a couple times and she turned out to be exactly everything I DID NOT want in a therapist. #1) GET AN ANIMAL     That cute puppy up there is my baby. You think I am crazy, but trust me my little Pomeranian has worked wonders for my anxiety. She is two years old but has been living with me for about eight months. When I started having really bad panic attacks my boyfriend didnt know what to do. In a desperate attempt to calm me down he handed me my puppy and told me to hold her and told her to love on momma. She licked on my hands and my face, which I normally hate, but this time it was oddly soothing. I squeezed her tight and rubbed her belly as a sort of thanks. Previous to this, I had her registered as an Emotional Support Animal to avoid having to pay a pet fee at my apartment complex. I had the prescription medicine to prove I struggled with anxiety, but Id never experienced what she could truly do for me until that night. Having her close to me and loving me with her puppy kisses really helped the calming down process and eventually pulled me out of my little spell. I really suggest investing in a good puppy that can help you out too. Shes truly my furry best friend. These are three things that I have found very helpful in trying to control my anxiety.

College Prep When Your Teacher Throws a Curveball

College Prep When Your Teacher Throws a Curveball When Your Teacher Throws You a Curveball There are many heavily dedicated students out there who are willing to spend any amount of time on homework and self-study in order to get straight As. If a student is given two or three days notice, they are willing to pull an all-nighter (generally not recommended), schedule extra time with their private Irvine tutor, or cancel social plans if necessary in order to impress their teacher and learn about the subject at hand (READ: How to Get an A Before the End of the Term). So what does that student do when thrown a curveball?                 Img Flickr user Charlotte90T The reality of college prep is teachers will occasionally hand out an assignment with a very tight deadline. Most students focus on why the teacher would do this; there are several reasons. 1. The teacher needs to meet certain guidelines from the school district. 2. It’s an AP class and the teacher wants to see if students are able to live up to the task. 3. The teacher doesnt view the assignment as essential to the final grade and doesnt feel   they have thrown their students a curveball. The most important thing for students is to understand how to practically deal with curveball assignments. Get on the phone and call your private tutor Many tutors are available for emergency sessions if the case presents itself. Students probably wont have their choice of time but having a tutor available last minute is really helpful.  Do your best The reality is if students look at the assignment and think they can earn an A if they have five hours to work on it over a period of days but only have 90 minutes tonight, they should just do their best (READ: 3 Warning Signs of Senioritis). Stressing one’s self out over one assignment will only make the rest of the assignments more challenging. Read the assignment; make a good effort to understand the questions and study. Your best is all you can do. Look for patterns in curveball assignments to save yourself stress in the future Students should look back through their folders for the last few months of the school year. On what days and what time did the teacher give out these assignments? Is it usually on the third Thursday of the month? Is it usually the day before a final exam? Is it usually after many classmates fall asleep in class? Most teachers have patterns of some sort; we all do. At the end of the day, every student will be given an assignment with a crazy tight deadline. The reality of advanced placement classes in high school is theyre just really hard. Theres no way around this but to get through it. It will, however, help students deal with the multitude of curveball assignments that will be thrown at them in college. If a student can handle this extra stress in high school, they can certainly handle it when they’re 20 (READ: Last Minute AP Study Guide). At the end of the day, the best way to deal with such issues is to be flexible, make a good effort, and then just breathe. If a student is hard-working and dedicated, things will most likely work out in the end. All blog entries, with the exception of guest bloggers, are written by TutorNerds.

How to Write an Essay in a Foreign Language

How to Write an Essay in a Foreign Language So, you thought it was going to be a breeze attending that foreign school, or doing that language course, or working in another country right up until you had to write that first essay? Yeah, I hear you. It’s tough to write in a language that is not your own. Nonetheless, it is far from impossible. There are plenty of authors who became famous for writing books in a language which was not their first. Perhaps, one day you too can join that list! Whether that’s your goal or not, you’ll have to start somewhere and writing an essay is a good place to start. So how do you make sure that you can write a great essay in a foreign language? Change your views of mistakes If you’re used to writing only in your native language, then when you try to write in a language that isn’t your own, you’re going to make a lot of mistakes. That’s just the way it is. If you let that bother you, then you’re always going to struggle to actually get anywhere in that language. If, on the other hand, you see those mistakes as steps to getting better, then you’re going to actually learn how to write. Yes, it’s hard to see mistakes that way. But the truth is, if you read back anything you wrote for your teacher when you were just going to school, those texts were pretty mediocre as well. They were full of mistakes, probably didn’t go very deep into the topic that you were discussing, and probably slanted across the page. The good news is that when you’re learning how to write in a foreign language, you won’t make those mistakes. Your penmanship won’t suffer and you’ll also understand the underlying structure of an essay from writing essays in your own language. It’s only the grammar and vocabulary that you’ll need to learn. And that will go a lot faster! So embrace the mistakes and see them as learning opportunities. Get feedback Learning is a matter of action and feedback. That’s how a child learns to walk and that is how we learn to write. So help yourself by getting feedback as often as possible! There are a lot of ways to get feedback. You can ask your friends, or your teacher, or you can hire a tutor, or use an online academic translation services. Whatever way you choose, pay attention to what they’re saying and keep in mind what I said before about mistakes. Also, what a lot of students do when they get back a piece of writing marked in red is throw it in a drawer and never look at it again. That’s the way to make sure you learn as little as possible. Instead, check out the instructions. Even better, rewrite the essays following the instructions that you’ve been given. In that way, you’re going to be far more likely to internalize the advice. Use the online tools Another great way to get direct feedback that exists now is to use the many online tools out there. Most major languages now have tools that you can download which will point out mistakes and errors. If you use word, then check out Microsoft office’s support site and get the support for the language that you’re learning. This will hugely improve how quickly you’ll learn a language as you’ll get the feedback immediately as you’re making the mistake. And that will reinforce the right way to learn how to write something or how to use a grammar rule quickly. Of course, you should be aware that software can make mistakes. For that reason, if you feel that it’s not right, do ask somebody who knows their way around the language to check it for you. Otherwise, you might end up learning a language incorrectly! Read Another great way to become a better writer is to read a lot in the language you’re trying to learn. After all, native writers will know how to use grammar correctly. Initially, you might well need a dictionary to help you through â€" but the great news is that if you keep it up, you soon might no longer need it and learn to figure out what words mean from context. The great thing about reading is that you’re not just learning a language, but also another subject. In fact, there are some who say that the best way to learn a language is to use it to learn something else. Speak Also, don’t be afraid to speak with people. Watch movies, series and go out for a beer with people who speak the language. This might seem further removed from writing an essay, but the truth is studying a language isn’t going to make you fluent. For that you have to use it â€" and what better way to do that than to speak it? In part, this is down to something called passive and active vocabulary. We all have both. Our active vocabulary is the words we use. Our passive vocabulary is what we understand. If you study a language without speaking it, you’re adding words to your passive vocabulary. But from there you need to get them into your active vocabulary. And that requires you to use them, over and over again. There is no better place to do so than in a conversation (though writing that essay isn’t bad either). Rinse and repeat Learning to write in another language is going to take time and will be frustrating. But don’t give up. The truth is that the first stage is both the hardest and the least rewarding. That’s because you won’t have the neural network for the language well established yet, which means words will take longer to stick, while your limited vocabulary will make it hard to say what you want to. The trick is to stick out. If you can hold on, then eventually you’ll get past that. Then it will get easier and more enjoyable. And then not only will writing that essay become a breeze, you’ll also have the satisfaction of having done something difficult. And that can be worth its weight in gold.

Chemistry Tutor - The Psychology of Scam Artists

Chemistry Tutor - The Psychology of Scam ArtistsAre you in need of a chemistry tutor in Portsmouth? You are not alone. Finding a good quality tutor in Portsmouth is hard work. Unfortunately there are some that try to take advantage of the hard working students by trying to scam them out of their money.I want to explain how I feel the teacher's responsibility should be towards the student. It seems very clear, even if the student did not understand the lecturer correctly, it was still his responsibility to make sure the students learn.What about the physics tutor? The guy just went and paid for a degree and went to teaching college on the off chance that he could sell it. He then proceeds to show up to teaching college, do the job, get the job and then sends the students to another university to get a degree, only to send them back to teaching college to get their education.Now this principal owner wants to be involved with the students and to share his knowledge with them but does no t want to take responsibility. It's not the parents fault for sending them away, but it should be the responsibility of the teacher.If you find a chemistry tutor in Portsmouth that's not part of the teaching community, please advise him or her that you will not pay if he or she does not act properly. If you see this, tell him or her that if they do not correct their actions immediately, you will pursue legal action against them.Science tutors do not teach science, they are just managers of all the classes. Some professors are afraid to stand up for what they know is right and so they try to take advantage of students by scaring them with questions like:'Can you read?' 'Yes'. 'But why do you do not speak English in class?'

10 Unusual Easy Acoustic Guitar Songs for Beginners

10 Unusual Easy Acoustic Guitar Songs for Beginners Sign up successful My hope is that this list includes enough styles and techniques that you’ll be able to find something that you enjoy and something that is easy for you. Ventura Highway America This is a cool old song with great, simple harmonies and a fun lead lick, that’s a little more challenging. If you’re looking for an easy song to start with, you’ll want to focus on the chords first. You can get through the whole song using just two chords: Fmaj7 and Cmaj7. If you play the two chords as shown in the link below, the switch between them should be fairly easy. If you’re still having any difficulty, try keeping the first finger in the Fmaj7 chord down so that you’re playing the standard C chord shape. If you’re playing this along with the recording, you’ll want to capo at the 2nd fret, to make the chords Gmaj7 and Dmaj7 (played using the same shapes and fingerings). Get the chords:  Ventura Highway Bend the Bracket Chevelle A little heavier of a song, but still great. Originally played on an acoustic, Bend the Bracket uses almost exclusively power chords, which you can just slide around on the fifth string. One tricky bit of business is that Chevelle plays this on a guitar tuned down one half-step. If you’d rather not worry about retuning but still want to play with the CD, just move everything down one fret.  There are no open strings, so you won’t have to worry about that. The one thing that could become difficult with the wrong fingering is the intro. If you play the power chord on the fifth string at the seventh fret (or 6th if you’re moving down a fret), you can reach the sixth string at the eighth fret with your middle finger without having to lift the power chord. Get the chords: Bend the Bracket Heroin Velvet Underground Despite the length of this song, there are only two chords in it, and one can be played with only one hand. How’s that for easy? Similar to the song by Chevelle, Lou Reed also has his guitar tuned down a half step. If you already retuned for the last song, then don’t tune back up yet! If you can form a D chord with your left hand, you’re already well on your way to playing this entire song. Essentially, he bounces between a D chord in the usually formation and a G which can be played using the open 4th, 3rd and 2nd strings. Of course if you’re already comfortable with a six-string G chord, feel free to mix it in as you think sounds good. These chords are generally played whole and then picked with the notes separately while the left hand stays unmoved on the chord. The only other part to the song is the ending. Okay, I sort of lied when I said only two chords, but mostly only two chords. Besides, the chords at the end are played using the same D shape that you’ve already mastered, just slide up to the 7th and 9th frets. Get the chords: Heroin Bards Song Blind Guardian Metal you say? On an acoustic you say? Yes, and it can still be EPIC! Now, I may get some pushback on this being an “easy” song, but like I mentioned before; everyone has their own strengths. I’ve personally had students for whom this would be less difficult than previous songs on this list. That being said, if fingerpicking isn’t one of your strengths, use this as an easy introduction to improve! Get the chords: Bards Song Disarm Smashing Pumpkins This song  remains a favorite of mine. You may see versions of the chords of this song listed as G-Em-C-D. While you could play these chords along with the song with no trouble, it would lack some of the sound of the original, and, not to mention, be more difficult. So in the same vein of keeping it easy and sounding better anyway, let’s look at the real chords. G-Em7-Cadd9-Dsus. If those look more complicated, don’t worry. While they’re more complicated from a music theory standpoint, they allow us guitarists to keep two fingers down for the WHOLE SONG! Go ahead and plant your ring and pinky fingers on the 2nd and 1st strings at the 3rd fret. The rest of the chords can be formed as follows: Get the chords: Disarm Dumb (acoustic) Nirvana Another song that is all power chords, also known as 5th chords (A5 ). Like some others here, Kurt often played his guitar tuned down a half step. As with the Chevelle song, the power chords make it easy to play a fret lower if you’re in standard tuning. Get the chords:  Dumb One Less Addiction Embodyment This is a hauntingly beautiful song that I’m guessing many of you haven’t had the pleasure of hearing before. I’m guess that it’ll also be a breeze for most of you to play. The majority of the song just switches between these two chords in the seventh position. I like to keep my middle finger planted on the third string at the eighth fret as an anchor between these two chords. Get the chords: Embodyment Moorish Dance  Aaron  Shearer Another one will be really easy for the left hand, but if you have a hard time playing without a pick, it could be tricky. If you have trouble stretching for chords and getting all the notes to ring, this song will give your left hand a break. You’ll only need it for six, yes six, different notes. Beyond that, your right hand will alternate between playing the tune with the thumb and playing some higher accompanying notes with the index and/or middle fingers. Fun story: I was recently talking with a friend and fellow guitar teacher who had broken a bone in a right hand that connected his ring and pinky fingers to his wrist. He mentioned that some of his older students weren’t convinced he could still be a good teacher without all his fingers. He used Moorish Dance as his “show-off piece” to prove otherwise. Get the chords:  Moorish Dance Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Crosby, Stills Nash Technically speaking, this is actually a set of four songs, but they’re all played as a complete piece of music and they all use the same tricks to keep it easy on the fingers. This is one of the more complicated songs on this list, but that doesn’t mean it has to be hard! If you look at a bare and accurate chord chart of this song, you’d see a whole bunch of complicated looking chord symbols with ‘sus’s and numbers and slashes. While you’re all smart players and probably know what those mean, it’s still more information to process and send to our fingers. The key here, rather than dealing with all of these complicated and frequently difficult to change between chords, is to make sure you’ve got the tuning right. We’ve already covered songs in this list using an alternate tuning (Eb or half step down tuning), but this is a bit more radical. We’ll leave the highest two strings alone, so they’ll remain at E and B, going down from there, we’ll tune the 3rd string down to E, the 4th string **up** to E (always use caution when tuning higher than standard), and finally the 5th string down to E, to match the 6th string. If you’ve been keeping track, that leaves us with, from low to high, EEEEBE. From there, follow the tab, since your sense of where chords usually are will be totally out of whack. It’s a whole bunch of open and straight barre chords with a few little licks sliding down the first two strings. Get the chords:  Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Cruise Florida Georgia Line Were you worried there wouldn’t be any country on here? What good is an easy acoustic list without a little twang! Remember the chords from “Disarm”? Same deal here! If you prefer the sound on the Dsus chord, you can play a standard D shape, but keep that 3rd finger planted! The order is G-Dsus(or D)-Em7-Cadd9. Have fun! Get the chords:  Cruise Hopefully you found a few new things on this list, even just something you can enjoy listening to. With a list like this you’re bound to find a song that suits your strengths and weaknesses. If you haven’t, this list isn’t exhaustive, so don’t give up! A well versed guitar teacher is a great resource to find the right songs for you. You’ve got a knack for guitar (everyone does in one way or another) and you just have to figure out what it is. Once you get some traction with that, then go after your weaknesses! There’s no problem in your guitar playing that can’t be fixed. Post Author:  Kirk R.

6 Ways to Stay Motivated During Your Job Search - Introvert Whisperer

Introvert Whisperer / 6 Ways to Stay Motivated During Your Job Search - Introvert Whisperer 6 Ways to Stay Motivated During Your Job Search Doing a job search isn’t on the top-ten list of fun things to do; I think we can all agree with that.  It can be tough to stay energized when you do it in such a solitary way.  You do things that you get no feedback on, like apply for an online job, and then let’s not forget about not hearing back from a hiring manager when they said they would call.  Yep, a whole series of things that really can beat you down and then keep you there when you don’t see progress towards a new job.  Little wonder why it’s so hard to stay motivated when you’re doing your job search. For many people, you don’t have a choice about your job search.  You have to find a job and do it as soon as possible.  You’re waiting for motivation to strike you like a bolt of lightning coming out of the sky.  I’m here to tell you to stop looking and start taking action that will help you move forward in your job search.  Here are some things you can do to help yourself make progress, even when you don’t feel like it: Do you know what your next career step is? I want to help you accelerate your career by connecting you with your Free Instant Access to my eBook on how to construct your Career SMART Goals â€" CLICK HERE! 1. Utilize inertia.  Inertia is the principle that matter will continue to move unless something interferes with it.  That means you, if you take job search action every day, will get the ball rolling and it will become a habit.  You don’t have to love it, but you do have to do it routinely enough that you don’t need any emotional jolt to keep doing it. 2. Have specific, daily action goals.  One of the biggest issues with job seekers is they simply “do stuff” and they don’t really have something specific to be driving for each day.  There are certain things you must do frequently and consistently that will ultimately yield a job offer.  You need to set goals and then track yourself each day to ensure progress. They need to include: How many contacts you make. How many informational interviews you do. How many job applications you submit. How many resumes or applications you send. How many phone screens you do.   There may be others, but these are the basic things you should have an aim to do every day. 3. Have office hours.   It makes no difference if you are working or unemployed.  You need to have a defined time to work on your job search.  You’ve heard the adage: Finding a job is like a job.  Then treat it like one.  Make office hours and keep them just like you were working.  If you are working, this is part of what you have to do to manage your time. You may also have to tell family and friends your “office hours” so they don’t intrude on what you’re doing. 4. Take a break.   Just like with a job, you need to ensure you give yourself time to do other things.  You need to socialize and you need to do things completely different from your job search.  Go to a funny movie or watch some videos.  You can overdue your job search, so it’s good to make sure you have other things going on in your life that give you a boost.  Your job search may not be a source of fun and games, but it also doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun. 5. Have an accountability partner.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a job search, working out or doing a scrapbook project, we all need someone for support and to keep us accountable to what we’re doing.  We like to think we can do all of this alone.  Maybe you can, but most of us really can’t when it comes right down to it.  Find someone with whom you can check in at least once a week.  This person isn’t there to lecture or punish you, but to keep you honest with yourself.  Ideally, you should hire a career coach, but if you seriously can’t afford that, then find someone who will support you without being a nag. 6. Look back.   You do need to occasionally look back at your progress; and tracking your goals will help you do that.  When you start seeing traction with all you’ve done, reward yourself. We have a funny belief about motivation sometimes.  We wait for motivation to strike us, but most of the time it won’t.  These suggestions will also work for other things where you’re having a problem making any headway.  If you’re doing a job search or about to launch one, follow these suggestions.  They can help you to keep moving forward and to feel much better about you.
