My Self Improvement

Nimit asked:


I am forced into it, as I don’t like unhygienic hotel food. I lack in experience and I suffer like anything for want of ideas, tips and shortcuts. Please help me out. It will also be good to many others in the same pitch too. Can you suggest a good website to refer to on this. Thank you.

Ok, im half american, but i live in england. Im VERY against george Bush and [sorry if this offends anyone] think he is what is wrong with america. anyway, i have always been proud of being half american, but alot of people i know hate americans, and, recently, have sometimes felt ashamed of it, and the last thing i want to be is ashamed of my heratige. i also sometimes hear conversations about Americans, jokes or just general talk, about how stupid Americans are, and it makes me feel so bad. I know that they’re are alot of right-wing americans that have [in my opinion] wrong views, but even they are generally nice, and most, if not all the Americans i know are nice people. So what can i do to help my self-esteem about my american heritage?

People seem to always think just because you are having some behavioral issues that you need to seek help from a pshycologist. But isnt it possible that as you become more aware of your negative actions that you can have enough self control to rectify the issue on your own without professional help?

Sarah asked:


My daughter just finished her first year of school in an inner city preschool. Next year she will be attending a private school in the country. At the tale end of this year she began to ask why she wasn’t pretty like the rest of the girls. She is only 4 years old and I somehow thought that this subject would come up later in her life. She is very lovely, cocoa colored hair, big brown eyes, peaches and cream skin, really very beautiful, many have remark on this. But somehow in her mind she feels less than. My concern is that in inner city the pressure to look pretty certainly wouldn’t be a high as it will be in her new private school in the autumn. How can I help her feel better about her self image and learn to love herself just the way God made her? I don’t want her to have an inflated image either, just a healthy positive mindset. Any ideas? Thanks so much in advance!

So Tir asked:


This might seem a bit odd, but I have often wondered, with the almost identical nature of various recent and time-tested self-improvement materials out there, why haven’t self-help authors, motivational speakers, or even Scientology sued one another to pieces over Intellectual property or copyright violations, et cetera? Does this mean anyone can all but mimick Joe Guru’s latest / greatest book or technique without fear of legal repercussion?

I understand that it is commonly accepted knowledge that very few truly “novel” concepts emerge in personal development tools. The question is, with the exception of the recent lawsuit over “The Secret”, why is it that such similar materials like self-help books do not violate some legal scenario?

Most thorough reply wins. Many thanks.

What are some self help techniques for a woman who was sexually abused as a child?
I was sexually abused as a small child and it never bothered me up untill I was 17 I am 29 now. I have no sexual desire what so ever and no feeling at all, sometimes being touched makes me sick. How can I get over this by myself? or options, with out seeking expensive professional help?
