In her new book “Live a Life You Love”, Dr. Susan Biali explains how to live a balanced, happy and healthy life by tapping into our inner self and exploring our creativity.

7 Steps to Turn Your Life Around:

  1. Let yourself be you. So many of us walk around pretending to be someone we’re not in order to fit in or please others. That’s an extraordinaraily stressful way to live.
  2. Learn to love yourself. Take good care of yourself as a primary priority. Others must come second or eventually you will be useless to them.
  3. Learn to listen to you body. Pay attention to changes in your body that through illness or symptoms might be asking you to make changes in your life and schedule.
  4. Don’t get sucked into drama and negativity in relationships. Focus on doing what you need to do and don’t try to change others.
  5. Get a life! Giver yourself permission to play more, no matter what anyone else thinks.
  6. Make room for the divine. Find a way to get quiet on your own on a regular basis in order to unplug from the craziness of everyday life.
  7. Make “someday” today. Do something today, however small to keep a promise to yourself or fulfill a dream.

When to Say “I do!”

Women today are pressured to marry and start a family in their 20s, yet the divorce rate is steadily climbing. 60% of women who marry under the age of 25 will end up divorced, and waiting until after age 25 to marry more than doubles their chances of staying married. Think your twenties are just a waiting period–waiting to get married, waiting for real life to begin? Wrong.
 
As Shannon Fox and Celeste Liversidge show with humor, intelligence, and reassurance, getting a ring on your finger is the last thing you should be thinking about when you’re in your twenties. In fact, statistics show that if you wait and marry at thirty, your chances of having a healthy, long-lasting relationship more than double.
“Last One Down the Aisle Wins” is not about just waiting around till the clock strikes 30. It’s a practical guide in which Celeste and Shannon present what a woman’s twenties should entail, giving her a better chance of having a great single life and an even better marriage later.

Are bad tippers lame in bed?

Posted in Book Reviews on July 29th, 2008 by admin – Be the first to comment

Hello CS’ers

Read a book excerpt on the Globe and Mail’s website about a book called: Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip — Confessions of a Cynical Waiter. In the book, The Waiter’s experience finds that women in general relate your tipping generosity to your sexual performance – if you’re a generous tipper, you’ll be generous in bed. I especially like the part where the woman asks about her boyfriend’s tip amount, then dropping an extra $20 out of embarrassment. I’d like to think that all readers of Confidently Single are reasonable tippers, but as always, let’s hear what you have to say about it! Are Confidently Single readers good tippers and does it relate to your experience in bed? Post your comments below!
