The real reason for smoking is your emotional state. You like the feeling of a truly friend who by your opinion is always in the right mood. First fact is that this is only your opinion, and second fact is that you can easily link pleasure with any similar thing (For example you can make connection in your brain to start feeling cheerful whenever you take a chewing gum). The point is that you can choose to link pleasure to whatever you want to.

If someone beats you, and succeeds in convincing you that this is an act of love, your brain will link pleasure to this situation and you know whats next right :). It is the same thing with every behavior we tend to repeat. This is how the habit is created. The good news is that your brain is very powerful machine but youll have to learn to control it.

Ive came to this conclusion before I quit smoking, and this thought start bothering me. I was not satisfied with myself after this conclusion, and from this perspective I believe this was the turning point for me. Suddenly I started to notice every little excuse I gave to myself, and how was I conditioned to smoking. Day after day I became more and more aware of the excuses that were in charge and rule over me. Very soon I start to research and begin to imagine how life would look like without a cigarette. It takes me more than a year to link that non-smoking is very very COOL! Now Im a non-smoker, and I enjoy every second of more conscious me. I also enjoy that I can choose why, when and how can I feel in every moment.

This inspired me on something else, do you know that there is one big advantage that every smoker have over a non-smoker. Sounds stupid I know, but its true. The fact that you are a smoker now can be a big turning point for your entire life, imagine how much momentum youll gain for every other aspect in your life, if you succeed in quitting cigarettes. Youll be more motivated and strong for every job in the future, because you quit this smoking habit, you are in charge now and in the future. Youll believe in yourself more, and youll like yourself more. Isnt this the essence of a good life?

Imagine my friend, just imagine!

I light my first cigarette at the age of 13. Since then Ive been actively smoking for 12 years. Now, Im a non-smoker for over a year. I discover the big secret for quitting forever. Therefore, I decide to help people who are willing to quit for good. http://smokerness.com is a site dedicated to all who are searching for answers. Please, research the subjects carefully, read the posts couple of times if necessary, and I can guarantee you results. Dont stop trying, and have a nice trip!

We dont wish to add to the ever-growing list of crises but there is an event in everyones life that is a GOTCHA! It is the moment that a loved one passes on and all of a sudden you realize that you will never see them alive again.

Now, that may sound rather obvious but it always happens. As you finally have a few moments to reflect on the loss of your mom or dad or grandma, a freight-train like wave hits you that they are gone and you have nothing left but some stuff and fading memories. That fact wont change but, you can make that GOTCHA! a lot less hurtful. We call it a Legacy Video Scrapbook. And, yes it is a video recording of your loved one (ahead of their passing) but with several differences.

OK...so whats the big deal? Why make a video scrapbook, indeed. Stick a camera in someones face and play 60 Minutes. Grill them on what was this and that like and call it a video scrapbook. Grandma is being a pill about making a video anyway. After all...I can take my time and paste some wonderful memorabilia into a scrapbook and end up with a nice keepsake. Who needs the grief?

Here is a true story... (It isnt too unusual whenever you have a camera in your hand and youre eying a potential subject or even when you are threatening to make a video of someone.)

We approached mom (86+ years old) with the idea of making a video scrapbook. First reactions? No thanks...I have nothing to say...whod want to watch me anyway...I dont want to go through the hassle...the list continued. It was up to us to explain the reason of why make a video scrapbook to her.

Not surprising at all. In fact, one of the first things an elderly person will think when you start talking to them about shooting a video scrapbook is that YOU think they are going to die soon and so you want to get them on video before it is too late! They usually don't even suspect that you'd just like to hear what they have to say!

Heres one of the best ways to make your intended star understand this whole process. You simply say...Wouldnt it have been wonderful if you were able to see a film of your great-great-grandfather or grandmother? Think of the connection you could make...the understanding of what it was like to live back then...what they were really like. Wed like your grandchildren to have that opportunity.

If that doesnt workexplain that this is a kind of insurance policy that will protect you from that sick feeling you expect at their passing. It will give you a special heirloom to hang on to.

That is pretty powerful and will be very hard for anyone to resist.

And this is one of the many amazing benefits of your creating a video keepsake of a loved one - one of the many scrapbook tools you'll find here. Lets sum it up with a quote from our E-book.

We would love to be able to re-capture the persona's of those that we have lost---to hear them speak, to hear the stories that we remember as children, tap into their genealogical history once again, hear them philosophize, receive the benefit of their wisdom in a thought provoking way. We cannot recall many pertinent facts, for instance, of our grandparents histories, our fathers early years as children, and the circumstances of the transporting of our respective ancestors to the part of the country in which our fathers grew up. We have some recall of the sounds of their voices but over time, it is more and more difficult to remember those sounds.

Why make a video scrapbook? We hope all this explains why we believe this is so important. To be able to preserve some of the personality, the essence of a loved one so generations decades from now can experience them is huge!

Watches and letters are nice to touch and feel but to experience the subtle hand gestures and hear the voice inflections from great-great grandma or grandpa is utterly compelling.

The process isnt brain surgery and follows right along with what it takes to compile a paper scrapbook. So, dont have a GOTCHA! moment a little time spent right now will fix all that. We have made them for our remaining parents. Unfortunately, we began this process after our fathers passed on so we missed our chance therewell always regret itdont you.

Dont think you have the time or talent? Nonsense. Do as elaborate or as simple a video scrapbook as you wish but just do it. Dont make excuses. Youll actually find that what we tell you is a real positive for everyone involved. It is fun and actually inspiring.

But, dont put it off until it is too late - it may be the most important thing you ever do for yourself!

I recently did some research which revealed numerous hair loss treatments you can choose from that without a doubt will work effectively on hair loss in a short period of time.

Of the most popular hair loss treatments out there today, herbal supplements are the number one choice. Recent scientific breakthroughs now allow herbal nutrients to be concentrated, and with that said, herbal supplements prove to be one of the best alternatives to be discovered in recent years.

Let us examine popular herbal remedies that can help prevent and even cure hair loss. One of the most popular hair loss remedies today is ginkgo biloba. This herb stimulates the flow of blood in the body including the brain area. This improved blood flow helps deliver more vitamins and nutrients to the follicles so it will promote hair growth. Protein is especially helpful in hair growth and it will also strengthen your hair so a daily intake of protein rich food would be helpful especially when you are taking gingko biloba.

Pygeum herb (derived from the bark of the African plum tree) which is widely used to treat prostate cancer has been discovered to be helpful in preventing male pattern baldness. However, the remedy of choice for a large number of males is the saw palmetto herb. Saw palmetto is widely used today for protection of the prostate gland. You should note that there are many hair loss treatments that are sold commercially with the saw palmetto as its main ingredients. It can also be taken in pure form with its recommended daily dosage of 160mg. But remember to choose the extract and not the dried berries if you want to buy the purest form of this herb.

Another effective treatment for preventing hair loss is the herb nettles, which is usually taken in the form of nettle root extract. This plant has been shown to be rich in vitamins A and C, thus correcting the vitamin deficiency that caused hair loss in the first place.

These are but a small part of the abundant natural alternatives for your hair loss problem. A little research will provide you with several other options, but before you opt for those expensive medications and surgery, spare a little time and thought for what nature could do for you.

Give me 15 minutes a day, a few weeks time, and go buy a few things at the grocery store that will cost you about $11.42 ... and I'll give you a new head of hair ... click here!
