Anti-loneliness Strategies

If you are single or recently divorced, one way to ease out of your loneliness is to entertain at home. Elaborate parties or just a casual one depend on your budget. The most important thing is , you get in touch with people and interact with them.

If you have a knack of setting up spontaneous little parties that do not require much preparation, go ahead. You can serve canapés, sandwiches and a punchbowl of refreshing concoction. Fire up your creativity, you can serve Italian spaghetti with a lot of tomato and meat sauce. How about Chinese dish, salads tossed in large wooden bowls, the simplest apple and celery mixture or maybe avocados halved and filled French dressing. Coffee and cake for dessert. Also people seem to enjoy nibbling crisp little slivers of raw vegetable from a bowl of crushed ice .Celery, carrot and turnip are delicious served this way. I’m pointing out the simplicity of smart modern entertaining. Learn to entertain effortlessly. Plan now for a simple, joyous party.

Here are some tips in planning a party:

-Around an occasion. Your birthday( that’s a no brainer) Mother’s day. An opening. A closing. A promotion.

-Around a theme. Black and white. Art deco, 70’s, 80’s, Austin Powers 60’s,Cole Porter Music, Mexican, Hawaiin.

-Once-a month events. Birdge,backgammon,poker. Make it a monthly event and rotate apartments or homes. You will get used to the idea that once a month you will see the same group of people.

By entertaining at home you will have the opportunity to display your prowess as a broker of “social power”.

It means have control over yourself first before you can have control over other things outside of yourself.. Private victories precede public victories. It all starts within you. Self- discipline and self control are major components if you want to master yourself. Self-mastery is a pre-requisite to transforming yourself into changed and better individual. The words self discipline and self control are enough to make you cringe. It means deprivation. It means loss of freedom. Sacrifice. Delayed gratification . But think of the rewards when you are able to discipline yourself. It’s enough to get you motivated. What separates the winners from the average people is that the winners reach a level of self-mastery accomplished through self discipline. Winners do not lose heart and become devastated by their misfortunes. They don’t become slaves to bad habits. They...

I live in a country where rice is the staple food. And what does it mean? It means that a major percentage of the population are diabetics. Rice when processed by our digestive system become glucose. So that means too much sugar in our bodies. Anyways, how do we see that as a money making opportunity as well as helping diabetics? It’s really pretty simple. This is how my cousin and I did it. My cousin works for a multinational company that deals with medical equipments and supplies. He got a huge discount if he purchases merchandise from where he worked. He supplied me with blood glucose monitoring systems (the portable ones) and test strips.
