We&#8217;re guessing that many of you do the same. <br />When old patterns come up for Susie, they usually manifest in unhealthy ways like being afraid of speaking her truth if it&#8217;s unpleasant for the other person to hear, agreeing for the sake of keeping the peace, and not clearly asking for what she wants. <br />Otto&#8217;s communication challenges are making assumptions, imagining fear in the future, black and white thinking, and not speaking about what&#8217;s bothering him but letting things build up. <br />What gets in the way of your ability to communicate with the people in your life? <br />Are you immediately defensive when someone starts to criticize something you are doing or calls attention to something you could improve? <br />Do you think one thing and say another? <br />Is your mind always somewhere else instead of listening to the people in your life? <br />Take a few moments and write down the ways that you stop communication with other people. If you have a partner or a close friend, talk over your challenges with them. <br />Talk about ways that you might be able to stop yourself from going into some of these unhealthy communication patterns. Talk about how you&#8217;d like to communicate in your life. <br />Clear, honest communication is a skill that can be learned if you have the desire to do so. Making yourself aware of your particular communication issues is one of the first steps to creating close, connected relationships.</p> <br /><div><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/gfx.php?value=10.0" /></div><div>Rating: 10.0/<strong>10</strong> (1 vote cast)</div><br /><p>Related Post:<ol><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/62-ways-to-say-i-love-you/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 62 Ways to show &#8211; I love you'>62 Ways to show &#8211; I love you</a></li><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-1/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 1'>Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 1</a></li><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/how-to-change-people-without-offending-them/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: How to Change People Without Offending Them'>How to Change People Without Offending Them</a></li></ol></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ruhanirabin.com/how-to-improve-communication-challenges/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Benefits of Kissing</title><link>http://www.ruhanirabin.com/benefits-of-kissing/</link> <comments>http://www.ruhanirabin.com/benefits-of-kissing/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 07 Jun 2007 02:14:36 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Ruhani Rabin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Self Improvement]]></category> <category><![CDATA[calories]]></category> <category><![CDATA[health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Interesting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[kissing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[men]]></category> <category><![CDATA[women]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.ruhanirabin.com/2007/06/07/benefits-of-kissing/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Stress relief is another health benefit of kissing. Psychologist Joy Davidson, PhD, likens kissing to meditation. "It stops the buzz in your mind, it quells anxiety, and it heightens the experience of being present in the moment. It actually produces a lot of the physiological changes that meditation produces," she says. The fact that kissing leads to touching is also a good thing. Touching and massaging release oxytocin, a hormone known to have a calming effect on the body.<br /><div><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/gfx.php?value=7.6" /></div><div>Rating: 7.6/<strong>10</strong> (7 votes cast)</div><br />Related Post:<ol><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/stay-young-in-a-simple-way/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Stay young in a simple way'>Stay young in a simple way</a></li><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/six-ways-to-make-your-guy-loves-you-forever/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 6 Ways to Make your Guy Love you Forever'>6 Ways to Make your Guy Love you Forever</a></li><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/50-things-she-wishes-you-knew/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 50+10 Things She Wishes You Knew'>50+10 Things She Wishes You Knew</a></li></ol>]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="topsy_widget_data topsy_theme_brick-red" style="float: right;margin-left: 0.75em; background: url(data:,%7B%20%22url%22%3A%20%22http%253A%252F%252Fwww.ruhanirabin.com%252Fbenefits-of-kissing%252F%22%2C%20%22style%22%3A%20%22small%22%2C%20%22title%22%3A%20%22Benefits%20of%20Kissing%22%20%7D);"></div><p><a href="../userfiles/2007/06/76.jpg"><img title="Passionate Kissing" src="../userfiles/2007/06/.thumbs/.76.jpg" alt="Passionate Kissing" width="200" height="144" /></a></p><p><strong>Kiss more, and kiss longer.

It&#8217;s interesting and full of useful information that <em><strong>every girl should embrace it as a good knowledge.</strong></em> You may be surprised at the things guys really can&#8217;t resist about women, and some of them are the very qualities women fear will drive men away-from letting a curse word loose to leaving all kinds of makeup near his bathroom sink. Here&#8217;s why these habits and others actually win a man over.</p><p><strong>1. He loves that you indulge at dinnertime.</strong><br /> Guys love girls who love to eat-not girls who say they aren&#8217;t hungry and then pick at their date&#8217;s food all night. Paul, 30, who lives in Boston, thinks that food may be the reason he fell in love with his fiancâ€še:  When we first started dating, I thought it might be awkward if I wanted greasy food like wings-I figured she&#8217;d think it was fattening or unhealthy. Women I&#8217;d dated in the past only wanted to go out for salad or sushi. But she was enthusiastic about eating all kinds of things with me. I loved that easygoing attitude of hers.  Aside from showing that you&#8217;re not high-maintenance or neurotic about your weight, that kind of unabashed enthusiasm also tends to translate into other areas-including the bedroom.  A woman with a healthy appetite for food tends to have a healthy appetite on <em>all</em> levels, and sex is absolutely a part of that,  explains Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., author of <em>Emotional Fitness for Couples: 10 Minutes a Day to a Better Relationship</em>. <span id="more-144"></span></p><p><strong>2. He loves your occasional obscenities.</strong><br /> You may worry that it&#8217;s not ladylike, but occasionally letting a curse escape your lips at an unexpected moment can be a major turn-on.  Hearing a woman use profanity out of context gives a guy a shock of sexual adrenaline,  explains Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of <em>She Comes First: The Thinking Man&#8217;s Guide to Pleasuring a Woman</em> and co-host of Discovery Health&#8217;s <em>Love on the Rocks</em>.  Men like women who can be tough and assertive, and as long as she doesn&#8217;t take the talk too far, it&#8217;s a positive thing.</p><p><strong>3. He loves that you aren&#8217;t a neat freak.</strong><br /> Believe it or not, guys find the proliferation of hair products, accessories and unidentified stuff strewn about your apartment oddly sexy.  I love that my wife makes a bigger mess than I do,  says Ziad, 31, of Durham, NC.  When she cooks, food ends up all over the place. It shows that she&#8217;s carefree, and it reminds me to enjoy the moment rather than worrying about the consequences.  This laid-back mind-set also carries over into your weekend wardrobe.  Guys love a woman who&#8217;s not trying too hard,  explains Dr. Kerner.  Most men think a pair of boxer shorts and a ratty old T-shirt around the house is your sexiest look.  So don&#8217;t spend hours choosing the perfect date-night outfit or getting your place in <em>House Beautiful</em>-shape, because men love you just as you are-in your comfortable, slightly sloppy glory.</p><p><strong>4. He loves your extra padding.</strong><br /> Sure, you&#8217;ve heard that men love women with curves, but how about those extra pounds you&#8217;ve been trying to sweat off at the gym? There&#8217;s a good chance that your guy loves them, too. Just ask 26-year-old Nick:  My girlfriend exercises regularly, but I think the little pudginess in her thighs is sexy because it shows she&#8217;s not perfect.  Sure, your extra padding may make men feel a little better about their own beer bellies, but there&#8217;s also a biological reason why men like this. Psychologists at the University of TX determined that men were most attracted to women with hourglass figures &#8211; specifically, women whose waists were 60 to 80 percent smaller than their hips &#8211; regardless of their weight. They theorize that men unconsciously seek this body type because it signals that a woman is able to procreate.</p><p><strong>5. He&#8217;s fascinated by your knowledge of medieval tapestries.</strong><br /> Or whatever it is that gets you all hot and bothered-whether or not he shares the same interests.  It&#8217;s not about knowing facts-it&#8217;s about being passionate about something,  says romance columnist Mira Kirshenbaum, author of <em>The Weekend Marriage</em>.  These are things that are important to her, not just stuff meant to impress a guy.  This can be passion for a subject as seemingly obscure as agricultural practices of the Mayans or as popular as Spanish as a second language. He may not quite get it and he may not want to have all-night discussions about it, but he definitely appreciates the fact that you&#8217;re a smart, interesting woman who thinks for herself and doesn&#8217;t mold her interests to match those of her man. Your interests also fuel what Kerner calls the process of self-expansion.  The more you expand as a person,  he explains,  the more the relationship expands.</p><p><strong>6. He loves a good head rub from you.</strong><br /> Don&#8217;t get me wrong-men love it when you grope their erogenous zones. But that&#8217;s not the only type of touch they crave. Adam, 28, of Roanoke, VA, confesses:  I love how my wife rubs my head at night.  Sweet, yes, but it also feels oh-so-good: Home to hundreds of nerve endings, the scalp is an often-neglected zone. And light touches anywhere can achieve a similar effect, since they cause his body to produce vasopressin, a feel-good relaxation hormone that also promotes bonding. Another positive side effect? Initiating <em>any kind</em> of physical contact sends your man the message that you want him just as much as he wants you-and that you truly care about him.</p><p><em>Matt Schneiderman has written for</em> Stuff, Cargo, <em>and</em> Sync <em>magazines.</em></p> <br /><div><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/gfx.php?value=7.4" /></div><div>Rating: 7.4/<strong>10</strong> (58 votes cast)</div><br /><p>Related Post:<ol><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/62-ways-to-say-i-love-you/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 62 Ways to show &#8211; I love you'>62 Ways to show &#8211; I love you</a></li><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-4/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 4'>Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 4</a></li><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/50-things-she-wishes-you-knew/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: 50+10 Things She Wishes You Knew'>50+10 Things She Wishes You Knew</a></li></ol></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ruhanirabin.com/six-ways-to-make-your-guy-loves-you-forever/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Stay young in a simple way</title><link>http://www.ruhanirabin.com/stay-young-in-a-simple-way/</link> <comments>http://www.ruhanirabin.com/stay-young-in-a-simple-way/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 03 May 2007 08:54:54 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Ruhani Rabin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Self Improvement]]></category> <category><![CDATA[aging]]></category> <category><![CDATA[body]]></category> <category><![CDATA[health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mental]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mind]]></category> <category><![CDATA[soul]]></category> <category><![CDATA[thoughts]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.ruhanirabin.com/2007/05/03/stay-young-in-a-simple-way/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Sometimes staying young in body and mind is not possible by doing diet or whatsoever.

Conflict vs. Compromise.</strong></p><p>In trying to prevent fights, some women refuse to oppose the will of others openly. But sometimes it&#39;s far more effective for a woman to assert herself, even at the risk of conflict.</p><p>Dora was frustrated by a series of used cars she drove. It was she who commuted to work, but her husband, Hank, who chose the cars. Hank always went for cars that were &quot;interesting&quot; but in continual need of repair.</p><p>After Dora was nearly killed when her brakes failed, they were in the market for yet another used car. Dora wanted to buy a late-model sedan from a friend. Hank fixed his sights on a 15-year-old sports car. She tried to persuade Hank that it made more sense to buy the boring but dependable car, but he would not be swayed.</p><p>Previously she would have acceded to his wishes. This time Dora bought the boring but dependable car and steeled herself for Hanks&#39; anger. To her amazement, he spoke not a word of remonstrance. When she later told him what she had expected, he scoffed at her fears and said she should have done what she wanted from the start if she felt that strongly about it.</p><p>As Dora discovered, a little conflict won&#39;t kill you. At the same time, men who habitually oppose others can adjust their style to opt for less confrontation.</p><p>When we don&#39;t see style differences for what they are, we sometimes draw unfair conclusions: &quot;You&#39;re illogical,&quot; &quot;You&#39;re self- centered,&quot; &quot;You don&#39;t care about me.&quot; But once we grasp the two characteristic approaches, we stand a better chance of preventing disagreements from spiraling out of control.</p><p>Learning the other&#39;s ways of talking is a leap across the communication gap between men and women, and a giant step towards genuine understanding.</p><p><em>Other Parts of this article</em></p><p><a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/2007/04/06/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-1/">Part 1</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/2007/04/07/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-2/">Part 2</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/2007/04/08/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-3/">Part 3</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/2007/04/09/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-4/">Part 4</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/2007/04/10/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-5/">Part 5</a> &nbsp;</p> <br /><div><img src="http://www.ruhanirabin.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/gfx.php?value=10.0" /></div><div>Rating: 10.0/<strong>10</strong> (1 vote cast)</div><br /><p>Related Post:<ol><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-1/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 1'>Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 1</a></li><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-5/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 5'>Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 5</a></li><li><a href='http://www.ruhanirabin.com/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-2/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 2'>Men and Women Understanding in Talking Part 2</a></li></ol></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ruhanirabin.com/men-and-women-understanding-in-talking-part-6/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
