But the stories grow darker, and the training begins.

Ireland has been devoured by a ravening menace known as the skrake, and though Slanbeg is safe for now, the women must always be ready to run, or to fight. When Maeve is bitten, Orpen is faced with a dilemma: kill Maeve before her transformation is complete, or try to get help.

Most Stylish of the Week: James Franco gets his star in Gucci

Let me first apologise of the delay of this post. I was planning on publishing it last night but I was too tired. I spent the weekend with some friends in Madrid and I had the misfortune of losing my iPhone on the first day, which means I couldn't even Instagram my adventures in the city...
I love the fact that most of the guys in this post are not the usual faces of the MSOTW posts! Cory Monteith, perhaps the most unexpected one, is one of the highlights. His airport look of casual jeans and hoodie paired with a cropped khaki peacoat is simple and very chic. Grey, blue and khaki is my favourite colour combination.
Jayson Blair should go to events more often. The actor was spotted at the Chateau Marmont in LA wearing a combination of smart and casual items – velvet blazer, unbuttoned white shirt, jeans and  beige suede shoes. Effortlessly great.
I'm always happy to see Gabriel Mann on the red carpet because his style in 'Revenge' very much annoys me. In real life he is a preppy yet sharp dresser, much after my own heart. This week he took some marine inspiration for his Breton striped shirt paired with a gold-buttoned navy blazer and tie and just-so rolled-up jeans.
Ryan Reynolds rocked Prince of Wales checked trousers like a pro, which he wore with battered black All Stars, a simple V-neck jumper and – my favourite – a Gant Rugger beige jacket from the SS13 collection. Talk about understated elegance.
James Franco looked dashing in Gucci this week as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I loved how contemporary the classic suit looked thanks to the mix of shades of blue. And I was particularly pleased to see him in brown suede Gucci Horsebit loafers as the iconic shoes are celebrating their 60th anniversary this year – check out the whole collection here.

Anticipatory Anxiety

30/10/2016 - Captain Bunn
Anticipatory Anxiety

Flight anxiety and anticipatory anxiety are different. We broke the code of flight anxiety years ago. For years now, we have been able to help anyone and everyone fly without high anxiety or panic. When a person has learned and practiced the Strengthening Exercise, he or she will be able to fly without high anxiety or panic. Feelings will be automatically controlled.
But anticipatory anxiety can still be troublesome. It is so easy for a person to think the Strengthening Exercise will not work. They have anticipatory anxiety that the flight will be awful. These thought trigger the release of stress hormones. The hormones cause feelings of anxiety. These feelings can lead to doubt about whether or not the Strengthening Exercise will work, it will. Anticipatory anxiety does not mean there will be anxiety on the flight.

What Causes Anticipatory Anxiety?
It’s more than one thing. If we focus on just one part of the anticipatory anxiety problem, we may get only partial relief. So let’s look at all the possible causes.

1. The Belief That Being Relaxed – Instead Of Being On Guard – Tempts Fate.
“Every time I feel more relaxed about flying, my subconscious imposes on myself that I just have to be scared. I feel that not being scared is abnormal for me.”

It’s interesting how fear of not being fearful develops. It begins with the first trauma in your life. Until that moment, you didn’t know something so awful could happen. The feeling of being safe and secure is shattered. You don’t know how to go on knowing that something awful could happen at any moment. It could happen just as unexpectedly again. What can you do? You begin to expect it. By expecting it, you are — sort of — braced for it. You decide to always “look to the blue”, anxious at every moment. If nothing awful happens for a while, you may begin to believe expecting bad things keeps them from happening.

Fast forward to adulthood. You learn more about what makes flying so amazingly safe. You learn about simulator training, backup systems, etc. You realize, as your flight approaches, that you are not anxious. Suddenly, anxiety hits. Is not being anxious is a safe thing to do? Will letting your guard down cause something awful to happen? Even as an adult, giving up a strategy that might have magically protected you all this time isn’t easy.
Our first trauma happened when we were young when our ability to use logic was limited. This faulty belief is based on the best logic available to us at the time. Yet, the belief persists, and continues to dominate us, because we have not examined the logic upon which that belief was founded. Until we do, we will continue to feel greater anxiety when starting to feel confident about flying. Whenever we notice we are NOT having anticipatory anxiety, THAT can worry us. So we keep it going.

2. Doubt That The Course Will Work?
The Strengthening Exercise – which is learned in “The Control of Anxiety” – is designed to stop high anxiety, claustrophobia and panic during flight. But the Exercise doesn’t “kick in” UNTIL you are on the plane. This can leave you, as the flight gets closer, worrying, “will it kick in?”
The Strengthening Exercise will work. It is as simple as that. If you went to the supermarket and took the label off a can of cat food and pasted it on a can of tuna, when you check out, as that can goes by the scanner, what is the scanner going to say: “Cat Food; fifty cents” no matter what is in the can.
What else CAN the scanner say? All it does is look at the bar code.

We have a device like that in the brain. It’s called the amygdala. That’s the part of the brain that causes us to feel anxiety. It causes us to feel anxiety be releasing adrenalin into the brain and the body. How does it know when to do this? Well, the amygdala isn’t very smart. It doesn’t do any thinking at all.
Just like the scanner at the supermarket does NOT look inside the can to see what is there, the amygdala does not look at the thought. It just reads the label.
If your flying thoughts are labeled “danger”, that is what the amygdala reads. When it reads that, it releases the adrenalin which “revs” you up. Too many thoughts with too may danger labels will cause too much adrenalin and result in high anxiety or even panic.

All we need to do to stop that is change the labels on your flying thoughts. Then, the amygdala lets thoughts about flying go by without setting off any alarms.
Once you have done proper practice of the Strengthening Exercise, the amygdala is going to read the labels on flying thoughts as “no big deal.” You are just NOT going to have a problem during the flight.
Just as sure as the scanner at the supermarket is going to register that re-labeled can as cat food, the scanner in your mind is going to register re-labeled flying thoughts as no big deal.
Keep in mind, to make the Strengthening Exercise work, you have to do your homework. Every thought has to be relabeled. It takes a few practice sessions to make the new labels stick. Once you have done proper practice, there is no way to have high anxiety or panic on the flight.

3. If I Have This Much Anxiety Now, Maybe I’ll Have More On The Flight.
It doesn’t work that way. Once you have done the preparation with the Strengthening Exercise, the anxiety you get on the flight is less than the anxiety you get in anticipation.
This means, the amount of anxiety you are getting in anticipation is NOT indicative of the amount of anxiety you will get during the flight.
What goes on in advance of the flight is worse than what goes on during the flight.
Then, after you have done a few flights, and know from your own experience the Strengthening Exercise prevents high anxiety and panic, you don’t need to have anxiety about anxiety.
Re-label the flying thoughts and the anxiety will not come.

4. Stepping Into The Unknown.
We know we don’t know the outcome of the flight in advance. Anticipatory anxiety depends, in part, on what we expect.
You’ve driving your car hundreds if not thousands of times. You have gotten good results; when you get in your car that’s what you expect.
Every time you drive 5.4 urban miles, that is equal in risk of fatality to a trip from New York to Tokyo.
Think how many times you have driving 5.4 miles. That’s how many flights you could have taken with the same risk. Driving worked out OK. So why not flying?
Based on experience with driving, you expect good results. Based on experience flying, pilots expect good results. Pilots fly day in and day out. Year in and year old. And nothing happens. It’s boring. Our friends who are pilots fly day in and day out, year in and year out, and nothing happens to them either. I flew for Pan Am and United for thirty years. I know literally hundreds of pilots and hundreds of flight attendants, and I know no one who every got even scratched in an accident.
So naturally, when I get on an airliner, I expect good results. Just like you do whenever you get in your car to drive 5.4 miles. It’s all the same

5. Thinking There Is No Way Out.
There is a dolphin show at the aquarium in Mystic CT. When I saw the show, the trainer told us the most difficult trick to get a dolphin to do is to jump through a hula hoop. Why? Dolphins are air-breathing mammals, and, they can’t swim backwards. If a dolphin is encircled in a tight space, it will drown. It’s brain is genetically wired to tell it never to be completely encircled by anything. Even a harmless hula hoop violates the genetic coding in a dolphin.
Like the dolphin, we – too – perhaps by nature – want to have a way out. We look at flying like the dolphin looks at a hula hoop.
With flying, though it LOOKS – visually – like there is no way out, there is an ENGINEERING way out.
Since you can’t SEE the engineering ways out, you need to imagine them. You need to know, as a pilot knows – that for everything that we know of that could ever go wrong, there is a backup system, and a backup for that. Though we don’t have a way out that you can see with your eye, there is always a way out you can see in your mind’s eye. Picture the pilot’s manual.
We have been flying airplanes for over one hundred years. Whenever there has been an accident, the cause has been investigated, and something has been done to make sure that can’t happen again.
That means, for something to go wrong these days, it has to be something that hasn’t happened in one hundred years of aviation. That’s why accidents are so incredibly rare. It is because we have ENGINEERING ways out. All the engineering ways out are in the manual.
Picture this. In a car, if someone comes at you, you turn the wheel. In an airplane, if something goes wrong, you turn to the manual. Anything that can go wrong is in the manual.
Pilots feel in control, not just because they have the wheel in their hands, but because they have a way out for everything that anyone can foresee ever going wrong.

6. What About The Pilot?
If a doctor makes a serious mistake, the patient may not survive. But the doctor does continues to practice. If a lawyer makes a serious mistake, the client may go to jail, but the lawyer doesn’t. The lawyer continues to practice.
If a pilot makes a serious mistake, does he or she get to continue to practice? No. If a pilot makes a serious mistake, he or she is six feet under.
So, if you want to know whether a doctor or a lawyer is good or not, you ask about their reputation. But if you want to know whether a pilot is good or not, you just have to notice whether you can see the pilot, or not. If you can see the pilot, you know he or she is a good one. The ones who weren’t good are six feet under.
It takes a professional board to stop an incompetent doctor or lawyer. You can’t always depend on professional boards to do the right thing. But you can depend on gravity. It doesn’t take a professional board to stop an incompetent pilot. Gravity will do it.
It takes years of flying before any established airline will consider a pilot’s job application. The airlines want to be sure pilots have been well-tested by gravity before letting them fly an airliner.
So the answer to your question about does the pilot know what he or she is doing? If you can see the pilot, you know the pilot is a good one.
When you fly, board early. Ask a flight attendant to go up to the cockpit and ask the captain if you can come in and say hello.

7. When Does Anticipatory Anxiety End?
Anticipatory anxiety ends when the biggest thing causing anticipatory anxiety ends . . . anxiety about the wisdom of giving up control to another person.
Some of us find it really hard to give up control. I don’t think we wired up that way at birth. Instead, I think distrust comes from experiences where others betrayed our trust, and did not act in our best interest.
Mark Twain said, Once a cat jumps on a hot stove, it will never jump on a hot stove again . . . or a cold one.
Once we have had experiences where our trust was betrayed, it is emotionally difficult to trust; it is difficult to give up control.
Think of the times you have trusted someone with your life, or with your well-being, or with your heart, and been betrayed. We learn, many of us, that we must never trust. . . that what we must do is take care of ourselves and never ever put ourselves in the hands of others.
And yet, all human relationships are about – to some extent – doing that. As tiny children, we are completely at the mercy of our parents, and those of us who didn’t have perfect experiences with our parents, naturally, have anxiety about trust.

8. The Flight Is Like An Arranged Marriage.
Imagine you are talking to someone and you say to them, “I’m getting married tomorrow.” And they say, “Oh congratulations? Who are you getting married to?” And you reply, “I don’t know. It’s being arranged by my parents.”
It would be crazy NOT to have anticipatory anxiety. But it ends if you are the bride and the groom turns out to look like Brad Pitt!
That is why anticipatory anxiety goes away when you meet the captain. You find our your captain is not a reckless maniac but a person you sense can be trusted completely.
For anticipatory anxiety to go away, you need to get a gut level feeling about this person as being real, as being competent, and as caring that the plane gets there. You need to recognize that this captain has been doing this for years and can handle this job. He or she wants to get back to family and loved ones just as you do.
Until you meet the captain, it is like just throwing all caution to the wind, like playing Russian Roulette, like taking an awful chance with your life. And if you feel you must do this, it would be crazy not to be anxious about it.
But once you meet the captain, all that changes. Now you know this person cares as much about getting there safely as you do. And you know this person knows how to get you back to the ground safely. That is when anticipatory anxiety is over.
At that point anticipatory anxiety is finished. The Strengthening Exercise which you learned and practiced now kicks in to deal with the flying part.
So, when you have anticipatory anxiety, the thing that makes sense to do is just ignore it because there is nothing you can do about it.
See, you are dealing with anxiety like what the outcome will be of marrying someone tomorrow at random, or of having an operation and having your life in the hands of someone you don’t even know.

9. A Strategy For Dealing With Anticipatory Anxiety.
Since anticipatory anxiety won’t go away until you meet the captain, avoid it by not making the decision until you meet the captain.
Go to the airport. Go to the boarding lounge. Get on the plane. Meet the captain, And THEN decide. Then decide if this feels right to you.
How POSSIBLY could it feel right to you until then.
How POSSIBLY could it feel right to marry someone you haven’t met.
How POSSIBLY could it feel right to have surgery without meeting the doctor and talking it over with the doctor.
So how POSSIBLY could it feel right to decide to fly with someone until you have met them.

10. An Advanced Strategy For Dealing With Anticipatory Anxiety.
This is advanced; it is not for everybody. Let’s see if this is for you or not.
The first concept I want to direct you to is the idea that the mind is not supposed to be at peace. Many people believe the goal is having no conflict. We are supposed to have conflict, and it is up to us to decide, moment-by-moment, considering the many conflicting ideas and impulses and desires we have, what to do. People who are mature are aware of their conflicts and make decisions based on their goals and priorities. People who are immature spend their time unproductively simply trying to avoid awareness of conflict.
Anticipatory anxiety is about conflict: that’s pretty obvious when you think about it: the conflict is you want to fly and you don’t want to fly. How can you resolve the conflict?
Here’s how.
Consider: what is the very worst that can happen on your flight? Well, you could get on, the plane could take off, and climb up to cruise altitude and – though I can’t imagine how it would happen – I’m sure you can imagine the plane plunging, and you can imagine going through terror, with people screaming, and things flying around, and then . . . it’s over. You are dead.
And while we are on the subject, it is not being dead that is so awful, . . . it is GETTING dead, going through that terror first.
As someone posted on the message board, yes I know flying is hundreds of times safer than driving, but if I crash my car, it doesn’t fall 30,000 feet first.
It is the terror that is the problem. Terror is the worst thing that can happen on your flight.
Consider next: what’s the best it could be? You get on the plane, they upgrade you to first class. You find yourself sitting next to your favorite celebrity, and is delighted by your wit and charm. The plane takes off and you hardly notice it. Cruise is perfect – not a ripple. The plane glides down to touchdown as smooth as silk, and you get off, and actually find you luggage made it, too.
You have considered the best and the worst. You could hope for a perfect flight: it isn’t going to happen. You could dread the worst flight from hell with terror and death; it isn’t going to happen. Neither of those is going to happen. You know that and I know that. It is – instead – going to be someplace in the middle, someplace between those extremes.
There is only one question remaining: are you going to do it or not? Here is your opportunity to make the choice to fly, and further, to make that choice a commitment to fly . . . and here is the kicker . . . no matter what, even if it kills you.
THAT, is the thing that makes all the difference . . . no matter what, even if it kills you . . . it is as certain – now – three days before your flight – that you will be in your seat on that plane when the door closes – as if you were on it right now. You will allow NOTHING to stop you from being on that plane when the door closes.
You can take it to the bank. It is carved in stone . . . a done deal. Why? Because you say so. . . because you have made an irrevocable commitment to do that flight, no matter what.
An amazing thing happens. That part of you that has been doing numbers on you to find some excuse, some way out, of taking that flight, gives up. Conflict disappears because one part of you gives up. You feel unified. You feel peace. Anxiety vanishes.
For as long as that commitment – that unconditional commitment to fly no matter what -persists, anxiety cannot get a leg to stand on.
But, as your flight gets closer, the commitment will lapse. Anxiety will come back. You will need to make the commitment again. But remember; paradox. You can’t DO this commitment thing to make anxiety go away. You make this commitment out of you own personal ability to make a commitment and keep it. Anxiety going away is only a by-product of your determination.
If you try to commit in order to get relief, it won’t work. This commitment has to come out of the essence of who you are. Not everyone has that essence; as I said, . . . this is not for everyone. This is for people who have a sense of personal power, people who know they have the power to make things happen.
You will need to search for the hidden strategies you may have to sneak out of the commitment. . . such as, Yes, I’ll do it no matter what, but if I don’t sleep well the night before then . . . no. That won’t work. Or, the weather doesn’t look good. Or, there was a crash on the news. Or there was something that might be an omen. Look for your secret “ways out”. Recognize them, and re-commit.
Once again, this is not for everyone. If you are just looking for relief, it’s not for you. If you are really committed to personal grown, then APNR is for you.

11. There’s Always The 5-4-3-2-1
It anticipatory anxiety gets big, turn to the 5-4-3-2-1 for a break. Rationally, you know it is OK to fly. Emotionally, give yourself a 5-4-3-2-1 break and continue giving yourself 5-4-3-2-1 breaks until the anticipatory anxiety ends when you meet the captain.

12. The Final Previously Missing Piece In The Anticipatory Anxiety Puzzle

Timeline Compression
When considering an upcoming flight, a massive error is easily made without any awareness of error at all.
It is natural to want to consider the flight. It is natural to wonder how we will feel. It is natural to think that even though we did fine our last flight, this one may be different and something may cause overwhelm.
When trying to make an assessment of an upcoming flight, we try to imagine what the flight will be like. Though the flight duration may be hours, when we use imagination, we take all the things that we think could or would happen in those hours and jam every one of them into one moment of intense imagination.

As a result, all the stress hormones that the flight would spread out over hours becomes concentrated into just one moment of anticipation. As a kid, I took the magnifying glass my grandmother used for reading out in the yard. It was a nice summer day. The sun felt good on my skin. But that sunshine, when focused by the magnifying glass onto a piece of paper, quickly burned a hole in the paper.

The same thing happens with the intense focus caused by time compression. You take what would happen in hours and compress it into seconds. Emotionally, you get “burned”. It is the same as if I said to myself, “If I try to get a sun tan, my skin will catch on fire.” That is the mistake people make when they anticipate what a flight will be like and focus all the events of the entire flight into one intense moment of imagination.

When you try to anticipate an upcoming flight, if you allow time compression to take place, your estimate of what will happen on the flight will be grossly inaccurate.
Some years ago, I went with a friend out onto a balcony that overlooks St. Mark’s Plaza in Venice. Here are two photos from the balcony:

When I surveyed the view, I saw the plaza, the sidewalk cafes, the pigeons, people walking, more buildings at the far end, the rooftops of Venice, the harbor to the left, and another church on the other side of the harbor. I looked at these things one at a time.

But I learned from my friend’s reaction — overwhelm — that while some take in such a view item by item, others take in all the items at once; and when all those items are taken in at once (rather than one by one) it is overwhelming.

This can teach us a great deal about anticipatory anxiety. The ‘events’ (such as take off, climb, cruise, descent, and landing) that take place on a two-hour flight are spaced over two hours of time. Thus, if these events are experienced when they occur, they are experienced with several minutes of spacing between them. But when one ponders an upcoming one hour flight, one doesn’t take two hours to ponder the flight. Instead, the events of the two-hour flight are compressed into just a few seconds of time.
Let’s imagine that each one of these five events causes a stress hormone release. The stress hormone from the first event is burned off before the second event takes place. And the stress hormone from the second event is burned off before the third even takes place.

But when pondering an upcoming flight, the experience of each of these five events is compressed in time from an hour to just a few seconds. If each causes a stress hormone release, the five shots of stress hormone are released within a timespan — not of an hour but — of a few seconds and the result can be a high level of anxiety.
Taking a flight is like eating a Big Mac. You do it bite by bite. You ‘process’ each bite separate from any other bite by chewing it up, and then swallowing it. But when thinking of an upcoming flight, it can be like trying to swallow a Big Mac whole.

It is impossible to accurately simulate the experience of a two-hour flight by pondering it in a time span of two seconds; inevitably the experience of anticipating the flight will be inaccurate.
If you sat down and conceived of the flight, moment by moment, spreading all the events over two hours, you can see how that would cause no stress at all.
I’m trying to establish for you how inaccurate consideration of an upcoming flight can be, and how that inaccurate consideration can cause great (and inaccurate) stress. Do you make car payments or mortgage payments? What if you got a bill demanding that, instead of paying a monthly installment, you were told to pay the entire balance! That would be shocking.
In an effort to determine ones readiness for a flight, when one tries to imagine what the flight will be like, inevitably the flight is compressed in time, and stress hormones are released which lead the person to believe the flight will be as stressful as is the time-compressed imagination of the flight.

Reality — will not overwhelm you. Overwhelm takes place only when you imaginarily compress the events of several hours into the space of a few seconds.
As the ‘Free Video’ says (take a look if you haven’t seen it at, one drink won’t make you drunk. Nor will five drinks spaced out over several hours. But five drinks, one right after another, will overwhelm you.

You simply need to understand that anticipatory anxiety is inescapable when you allow time compression to take place. Is there any way to avoid time compression and thus to make an accurate estimation of what you will feel on your upcoming flight? One way would involve setting a timer, and worrying about one thing only until the timer when off thirty minutes later, and then worry about a second thing, etc. That would give you an accurate way to estimate how you will feel when you fly.

Or, you could set a timer, and then imagine just one single moment on your previous flight. And then, when the timer when off thirty minutes later, imagine one different single moment, etc.
But neither you — nor I — is likely to go to the trouble to do that. What can we do that is practical? Simply understand that:
• when you use imagination to estimate how you will feel on the flight,
• you inevitably compress time when you make this estimate, and
• the estimate will inevitably be inaccurate due to time compression, so
• understand the anxiety you feel means nothing, and
• does not reflect what you will feel on the flight when time is not compressed

Then, simply do the 5-4-3-2-1 to dump the anxiety.

13. More On The Belief That Being Relaxed – Instead Of Being On Guard – Tempts Fate.
Consider this from a client who said the audio course had done wonders for her DURING the flight, but that her anticipatory anxiety is “deep-rooted”.
She wrote: ” . . . I cannot let go of this fear, as it has become such a huge part of myself. Every time I feel more relaxed about flying, my subconscious imposes on myself that I just have to be scared. I feel that not been scared of flying is abnormal for myself. . . . my mind sort of instructs me to be scared and does not let me relax, even if I apply logic . . . . I don’t know if you have encountered such a problem before, with other fearful flyers but I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a cure!! ”
I wrote back as follows:

This is definitely a known problem. In fact, Freud wrote about it, and what he said is interesting. He said, the problem with trauma is, the first time you have one, since you never had one before, it comes as if “out of the blue”.

Since it completely unexpected, and since it is something you didn’t even know existed, it hits you hard in two ways. One is, you feel you can’t handle it. You can’t just go through life knowing that at any moment, trauma could hit. What do you do? You EXPECT it. By expecting it, you are — sort of — ready for it. You are “braced” for it.
The other way is also interesting: something happened that you didn’t even know existed. What does that tell you about the world? Can the world be trusted? Apparently not. What does that tell you about yourself? Can you be trusted to know how to live? Apparently not.

So it sets up a massive insecurity. What do we do about it? Well, already we have decided to expect disaster at every turn. But is that the best we can do? What if we get scientific? Let’s consider cause and effect. Maybe if we can figure out what caused the trauma, we can find a way to keep it from happening again.
So, to investigate cause and effect, we ask, “What was going on JUST before the trauma hit? Let’s see . . . Hmm . . . I was relaxed. Yes, and I was happy, and I was completely unaware that anything could go wrong. Ah, hah! That’s it! Being relaxed and happy and unaware anything can go wrong CAUSES disaster. Stop doing it!”

And guess what. You stop being happy, you stop being relaxed, and you stay aware that something can go wrong. IF YOU CONTINUE TO LIVE (which you have), you have PROOF that it works. (Of course if you stay unhappy, tense and anxious and die, then you “know” it didn’t work, but people who find that out are not around to tell us it didn’t work.)
The dogs next door are inside a radio controlled fence; the property has an antenna wire around it and if the dogs get too close, the radio on their collar triggers them to get an electrical shock. So they don’t run off the property.

But they still chase cars. When a car starts to drive by, and of course, you and I know they car has no intention of stopping, the dogs race to the front of the property and start barking. The do this as the car is approaching, as the car is getting closer. So they get even more agitated. They bark more ferociously. By now the car is alongside the property. It keeps going. It is no longer getting closer. It looks like it is working. And yes, indeed, the car goes on up the road, keeps going farther and farther from the property as the dogs continue barking until the car had gone out of sight.
They are proud. They chased the car away. It works every time. So does being anxious.

What the dogs do makes perfect sense to them. And it makes perfect sense, in some way, to you, too. But why? Because though trauma does happen to children prior to the age of five, we don’t remember the facts surrounding the trauma. So it isn’t until about the age of five or six that we have that first trauma (it isn’t the first; it is just the first REMEMBERED trauma) and turn to the logic that a five-year has available to him or her, to try to deal with the problem.

When we finally develop better logic (if we do), most of us don’t re-examine the strategy. One reason we don’t re-examine it is, it works.
And now, even though you hear me say it is the logic of a five-year old, you are afraid NOT to use it. As you say, it is deep-rooted. But consider how and why it is deep-rooted. By using this strategy for years, you have made an extreme investment in the form of happiness relinquished in the interest of safety (or the illusion of safety). You have made a heroic and dedicated investment by maintaining a constant vigil.

Barking at disaster has become your very identity. To give up the strategy would mean having to redefine who you are. You would have to begin to realize that you do not control disaster by staying anxious. You would have to realize that you are not a hero who has kept yourself safe through this self-sacrifice. It is not just your life that is at stake; your very identity — who you are — who you conceive of yourself as — is at stake. Even if giving up the strategy doesn’t cause a physical disaster, it threatens a psychological disaster: loss of self. If that doesn’t translate well, think of what we have heard that in some cultures, people cannot lose “face”. It’s the same thing. Your sense of self would be damaged, or so it appears, if you were to fully recognize that something you have stood for and dedicated yourself to is worthless.
It is tempting to continue this identity. You can continue it. The dogs next door certainly will. But our dog has a different identity; she never chases cars. Why? Because she was never given an electric fence in which to run off her leash and chase away the threatening cars. When our dog goes out, she is with my wife, and is on a leash. My wife never showed the dog any fear of cars. My wife didn’t bark at them. My wife didn’t chase them away. So our dog, at this point, even if let off the leash would not chase the cars, nor even bark at them.
The dogs next door are heroes who, every day, protect our neighbor from cars. They stand vigil. They are dedicated. And no car has ever dared to come upon the property and crash into our neighbor’s house.

This of course makes perfect sense. And yet, it does not instantly change your emotional reaction to protecting yourself from disaster. It is so hard to give up something that has served you so well, though the service is 100% illusion. Or is it. Is there any time when expecting disaster has ACTUALLY saved you? If there is, if there has been even one time when expecting disaster has saved you, then maybe it is better to keep doing what you are doing.

So, if there is just one time when you have saved yourself (or even believe you did), it will be all but impossible to change what you are doing. No matter how much you want to relax and be happy, as soon as you do, you become afraid that to be relaxed and happy will mean your death.

It really is going to be important to decide if you want to take the chance. If you do, use the Strengthening Exercise. Put some cartoon character on a plane, and have them start to relax and start thinking nothing can go wrong. Then, have them become become alarmed that THEY HAVE CAUSED disaster.

And similarly, put a cartoon character on a plane, and have them be completely relaxed. Then, have them become terrified that their being relaxed may cause a disaster.
But also, put a cartoon character on the plane, and have them worry that by their being worried, it may telepathically be transmitted to the pilots and cause the pilots to make a terrible mistake.
And then, put a cartoon character on the plane, and — upon relaaing — become alarmed and start worrying.

And then, put a cartoon character on the plane and have them worry that their own independent worry is not sufficient. EVERYONE should worry. To avoid a disaster, other passengers need to be alarmed, so the cartoon character runs up and down the aisle screaming to everyone, “Worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry, worry”. In each case, take your focus immediately back to a soothing moment in which you felt the empathic connectedness with another person.

I’m also reminded of a pilot I knew in the Air Force named Leo Thorsness. Leo was the cockiest guy I ever met. He was always up to a challenge of anyone about anything. The amazing thing was, Leo always won. If the challenge was an argument, he would always turn out to be right. If it involved sports, Leo always won. It wasn’t just that Leo was cocky; he earned the right to be.
He was sent to Viet Nam where he flew F-105s on missions in which his plane was used as bait. He would allow his plane to be picked up on radar by a missile site; he would continue until the site launched a missile at him. As soon as the missile was launched, he would use the signal from the site which guided the missile at him to home in on the radar site, and fire a missile of his own at the radar site. The “game” was to get his missile to destroy the radar site before the radar site’s missile reached him. If he could destroy the radar site, then the radar site could no longer guide the missile and Leo would “win”, in other words, destroy the site and get to survive. If Leo “lost”, he would fail to get the radar site before the radar site’s missile got him.
You can see some info on Leo if you search the web. Here a link about Leo’s appearance on a PBS program called “American Valor”.
PBS did a program called “ American Valor” which included Leo’s story and an interview with him .

Anyway, I heard that Leo had gotten shot down, and — since no one saw a parachute — it was believed he had died. It was odd that, somehow, I simply didn’t believe it. I guess it was because, in my experience, Leo always won. I had this irrational believe that “nobody could get Leo”. Six years later, I was watching television news of prisoners of war who had been released after the Viet Nam war was over. I saw Leo walking off the plane.

14. The Power Of Positive Thinking Is Negative
At least, it is negative versus the Zen approach of “no mind”. Though a positive self image can take us far, it takes us only that far and then stops us. Why? Because, any self image, even a positive one uses up mental capacity. It is like having an unnecessary program running on your computer; it uses up RAM. In general, if you have more than enough RAM, or if you have more mental capacity than is needed for what you are doing, it doesn’t matter. It is only when you need all the mental capacity possible, that it matters.

15. How Positive Thinking Can Sabotage
If, as you undertake something, you engage in positive thinking — or positive expectation — your reliance on the positive thinking can sabotage your success if you depend on the positive attitude to see you through.
If you have already — painfully, perhaps — discovered that positive thinking doesn’t always work, that discovery may have led you to try the opposite: negative thinking.

16. Expectations Inhibit Performance
The point is, it isn’t necessary to expect things to go wrong to keep them from going wrong. Expectation — whether positive or negative — gets in the way. Expectations use up mental capacity that could be used to deal with what is at hand.
People who perform at exceptional levels, like Leo, don’t get into expectations. Instead, they engage the present moment at the present moment.
When it comes to flying, you can — wisely — trust the ability and focus and training of your pilot who, after all, is in the same boat as you are. He or she does not need your help in worrying. After all, he or she is getting paid to worry about the flight. Why should you do something you are not even getting paid to do?

17. More Than Anything Else, Anticipatory Anxiety Results From Seeking Control Where None Exists
I would like to know how the next World Series is going to work out. I’d like to know in advance the score of every game. In fact, I’d like to know — moment by moment — everything that is going to happen.
Obviously that is impossible. But when it comes to flying, that is what people do, and that is what causes anticipatory anxiety.
Everyone who knows the 5-4-3-2-1 has absolute control over anticipatory anxiety. But, instead of using the 5-4-3-2-1 to control anxiety, there is an attempt to know how the flight will be. There is an attempt to know whether or not the SOAR Course will work.
Young children are faced with many things they cannot control. When there is insufficient empathic connection with their parents, they feel insecure. To deal with this anxiety, they engage in “false control”. Instead of perceiving reality, they imagine things are the way they want them to be. Or, they pretend they are super-heros who have control.
Much of our difficulties as adults come from toying with “false control” — imagining instead of perceiving. Instead of recognizing the obvious (that one cannot know the future) we imagine this and we imagine that. It is this very imagination — fleshed out vividly in ones mind’s eye — that causes the anticipatory anxiety. It is this very imagination that causes the stress hormones to be released.
In addition to “what if”, there is a focus on “if only”. For example, “If only” I knew the SOAR Course would work. Or, “If only” I knew there would be no turbulence.
When vividly entertained in the mind, both “what if” and “if only” cause stress hormone to be released, resulting in anticipatory anxiety.

I hope you can hear me and will listen when I say to you, assuming you are going to fly, you have only two possibilities:
1. Continue to grasp at false control of the future by imagining “what if” and “if only”, or
2. Exercise real control of the present with the 5-4-3-2-1.

One of those choices will stop anticipatory anxiety. The other will cause it.
What is it that pushes us into false control? As I said above, when there is insufficient empathic connectedness with ones parents, there is a feeling of insecurity. When insufficient empathic connectedness is the rule — rather than the exception — feeling unsafe becomes basic to ones character. Insecurity becomes built-in. Expecting our needs and desires not to be responded to becomes built in, and control develops into the universal answer. Only control, it seems, can make us safe and secure. The need for control pushes us toward all the control we can get, including false control.
What we are seeking to do in the SOAR Program is to take the amount of security you do have and nourish it. We want to make it grow. It is what Tom Wolfe called “the right stuff”, the ability to face risk and stay emotionally balanced.

A sailboat with a small keel can be blown over by a slight wind. But a sailboat with a heavy keel can withstand a forceful wind. What we need to do is increase, as it were, your keel. You already have a keel. We want to make it grow into — not one that would be so massive as to help you deal with the risk of being an astronaut — but one that will let you deal, and stay balanced, when dealing with the incredibly small risk of flying on a modern airliner.

In time, as you continue to fly and as you continue to fine tune your Strengthening Exercise practice, flights will become so easy for you that anticipation of them will be much less of a problem.
Until then, practice your Strengthening Exercise for the flight, where it will kick in and work automatically. Use the 5-4-3-2-1 for anticipatory anxiety.
In time, you will develop trust that you will fine on the flight, and that residual anticipatory anxiety will vanish once you meet the captain.

Tom Mayo

I have been making handmade knives since late 1981, but my love for knives started when I was a boy. My grandfather was always giving me a pocketknife for Christmas or my birthday and I can still remember the day he gave me a knife that he made from a file when I was about eight. He was the town doctor in Dresden, Tennesse and an avid hunter and fisherman. I have been a shooter since I was very young and make it a practice to go to the range at least once a week.

It was only natural that as I grew older I began to collect more and more knives, until one day I picked up a Sports Illustrated with Bob Loveless on the cover. I had been making furniture as a hobby up until that day, but that article started me in another direction, and before long I had spent over $2500 on knifemaking equipment, without even starting on one knife. I struggled on my own, reading books and gleaning information where I could, buying knife supplies from various people, Glen Hornby in particular. We struck up a friendship over the phone and it wasn't long until he invited me to come visit him at his Glendale, California home and spend some time making knives with him. To make a long story short, we became best of friends and I began to make the trip to California for a knife show or two every year until his tragic death on Sept 1, 1995. I will always miss him; he was a great knifemaker and an even better friend.

Through Glen's influence I began to develop a style that I would best describe as a direct copy of Mr. Loveless, but as the years went by I slowly fell in love with the older traditional type of knife that the Randall family makes, especially the clip point and trailing point. Today, I feel that my knives have a style all their own, but I have borrowed a lot from both of these pioneers in the knife making movement. My goal is to make an exceptionally high performance tool that is on par with the best knifemakers in the country. I guarantee my work. If you have a problem we will solve it. One thing I cannot guarantee is natural materials...they sometimes go where they will, especially if you live in Arizona and I live in Hawaii. I will do my best, that is my guarantee.

5 Fitness Measurements You Need to Know

When getting in full training mode, it would be quite beneficial to know the key fitness measurements in order be able to follow and track your training progress.
This is how you should build your fitness profile.

  1. Body Composition

This is the one test no athlete should ignore and not know of, according to McArdle. Knowing your body fat percentage it’s the most important indicator that not only provides motivation, but is also a clear health mark. In order to get an accurate measurement of your body composition at home, you’ll need a skin fold caliper, a simple plastic tool that pinches your skin to measure thickness.

McArdle recommends you to measure skin thickness in exact seven locations where you can then enter the data to calculate your body fat percentage and lean weight, which is then compared to average of the general population.

“Body comp not only has a huge impact on athletic performance, but also on health, McArdle says.  “How much fat mass you have communicates a lot about what the other test results are going to be.”

  1. Cardiorespitory capacity (VO2Max)

You’ve probably seen footage of elite athletes running on treadmills while wearing masks that make them look like they just stepped off a combat zone, well that`s  the lab test used to measure VO2max. The masks are used to calculate how much oxygen athletes can gulp and how efficiently they can utilize the oxygen under exertion.

If you are an endurance athlete, VO2max is the key indicator to increase your current fitness level. And, you don’t need a lab to measure it, just a track and a stopwatch.

The way you do the test is after a warm up, you need to run as fast and far as you can in 12 minutes. That distance will allow an online calculator to determine your estimated VO2max.

You can improve on that endurance indicator through standard endurance training plans, but McArdle says what you eat can also be a big factor. “Just by diet you can change it, just by decreasing any excess fat mass,” he says.

  1. One – Rep Max

This one is the easiest way to measure improvements in the gym.

“If someone has a lot of weightlifting experience, I suggest they try to measure directly, meaning to try to find the amount of weight needed to perform exactly one repetition,” McArdle says. But, this is a recommendation only for experienced lifters. Weightlifting novices should not try to lift as much as they can in just one rep.

Instead, they can use the Brzycki equation, which converts a multi-rep set into an estimate of what your one-rep max should be.

  1. Muscular Endurance

The standard measurements for muscular endurance come from the push-up and sit-up test.

The push-up test, defines the number of reps you can perform using the correct form.

The sit-up test is timed, measuring how many reps you can complete in 60 seconds using proper form: a partner stands on your feet; your hands are clasped behind your neck, and your elbows touch or move past your knees with every rep.

McArdle also recommends seeing how long you can hold a standard plank. There are no comparative numbers so you can only measure how much you improve, but McArdle says core strength is an essential indicator of overall fitness.

  1. Flexibility

An exercise you`ve performed in your  elementary school gymnasium, the sit-and-reach test is still a standard when measuring for flexibility.

Although results will likely be more accurate, you don’t need a standard sit-and-reach box to complete the test. The only things you need are a tape measure and someone to help you out. Without shoes, sit down on the ground with your feet pressed against a flat surface like a step.

Have the partner measure six inches from the edge of the step toward you to establish the starting position of the tape measure. From that spot extend the tape measure out and begin to slowly lean forward. Continue forward as far as you can without bending your knees, measuring the distance you are able to reach.

A Song About Christmas, The Greatest Gift.

I know it's Christmastime,
anyone can see,
Even someone just like me.

See I had a problem, in reality.
Couldn't pay the layaway.
You have to understand,
when the pink slips lands,
not a lot to give away.

So I got my gift card,
bought some groceries.
Wiped a tear drop from my eye.

As I walked right down
those aisles misty eyed,
got to thinking bought Him.
All of the gifts I'd given and gotten
through through the years,
doesn't mean too much to me.

'Cause I don't need the presents underneath
the tree, just to know that You love me.
I'm gonna take some time, count my blessings down.
Then I'm sing some praise.

I called and told my wife,
she just choked back tears.
"Honey please just dry your eyes."
We need to make some time, in reality,
the holidays are here to share.

Lord I don't need the presents,
underneath the tree,
Just to know that You love me.

Your greatest gift to us in reality,
was your life shed on that unwanted tree.

I can't pay You back,
nor earn immunity,
You just came to die for me.
Saved me from a life of depravity and sin.
Jesus I can't thank You near enough.

What Keeps Your Customers Coming Back?

consumer spending
Duncan Switch Street Market

BEST SOUTHWEST — President of the Duncanville Chamber of Commerce, Steve Martin says, “Money that is spent close to home serves our city the best. I try to purchase everything that I can in either Duncanville or as close to home as I can by purchasing items in our Best Southwest area.”

However, let’s face it, shopping is a very personal experience for many people; where they shop, who they shop with and even exactly what propels them to shop and spend their money at all.

Amber Hatley, Chick-fil-A in Cedar Hill’s Marketing Director says she believes her restaurant recently won Focus Daily News’ Best Place for Kids “Best of” contest because of the food and that’s why parents and children alike eat there.

“I think the playground and the food,” she says. “I think the parents are happy to bring their kids here because the chicken is 100% chicken. Parents are comfortable feeding our nuggets to their kids because the food is a lot more nutritious than a lot of other fast food restaurants.”

Chick-fil-A also just introduced a new spicy chicken sandwich on June 9, another reason to spend your money.

Charlton Methodist Hospital, another Focus Daily News Reader’s Choice winner, has Kathleen Beathard, VP of Marketing and Public Relations, Methodist Health System adding in relation to consumer spending, “Methodist Charlton offers a wide variety of services to the community – from weight management options to minimally invasive procedures to improve the quality of life.”

Children, parents, shopaholics; what drives the consumer madness?

What Drives Consumer Spending?

According to a report released by Consumer Reports earlier this month says “Consumers have scaled back their interest in shopping,” but when shopping is a must what are people really thinking? Like take infomercials for example, who needs another Ronco Veg-o-Matic, but people buy stuff like this all the time.

Apparently, the secret for this type of shopping lies in neuroscience. Infomercials are carefully scripted to pump up dopamine levels in the brain, says Martin Lindstrom, an advertising expert and author of “Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy,” which details how ads affected 2,000 research subjects.

“Infomercials take viewers on a psychological roller-coaster ride,” Lindstrom says. The fun starts with dramatizations of a problem you didn’t know you had, followed by the incredible solution, then a series of ever more amazing product benefits, bonuses, and giveaways, all leading to the final thrilling plunge of an unbelievably low price. After the ride, Lindstrom says, “dopamine levels drop in five to six minutes. That’s why infomercials ask you to buy in the next three minutes.”

What else motivates a person to spend money? Here are a few more reasons you might recognize; you think it’ll buy you happiness, in fact, many people believe that by buying products and services will make their life happier; you feel guilty, many people try to get rid of their guilt by making up for it by purchasing material things even though they know that this will not completely solve the problem of the guilt, for example buying for children or a significant other; you think it will buy you love; you are trying to keep up with the Joneses, translated into spending a lot of money on things you don’t need; you can’t say no, but remember it’s only a bargain if you need it; you feel entitled; you lack financial knowledge or spending money makes you feel powerful.

Remember, while it is fine to spend money on things you need, the number one rule for financial freedom is spending less than you earn. Reportedly the U.S. has a negative savings rate with about 43% of American families spending more than they earn each year.

At the website www.yousaytoo.com, it notes “People have a certain amount of spendable income in their personal budget, and they spend the majority of that expendable cash in four general areas. This excludes necessities such as food, shelter and transportation and focuses strictly on the areas where people are most likely to spend their hard-earned cash. There is a difference between wants and needs, sometimes a fine line even, but the emotional appeal is often found in the list of wants.”

These wants include love think personal ads and online dating, beauty from anti-aging products to cosmetic surgery, health including preventative care to natural remedies to exercise and finally, entertainment meaning hobbies and personal interests in addition to the traditional ideas of entertainment, such as: movies, music, games, television, events and travel.

“My opinion is that spending is still strong in Cedar Hill, although consumers are looking for deals, sales, discounts and what have you to be able to stretch their money a little farther,” says Cedar Hill’s Chamber of Commerce President, Amanda Skinner. “I know some of our chamber members experienced some slower days and some were down in sales but lately things have been trending positive.”

Again, while it is okay to spend your money on what you can afford and need, some spending habits are worth looking into.

However, the biggest thing to remember, if you are shopping for that last minute gift, dinner, or you just need to buy something anyway, keep in mind what Martin says about putting money back into your own city’s economy.

“When we purchase items in our own area then we not only get the sales tax revenue, but the business owners in turn purchase from other businesses in our area which keeps circulating dollars in or close to our town,” concludes Martin. “I believe that I have heard it said that money spent is recycled seven times in our area.”
