Now, let’s talk about the remedy for economic uncertainty, stress and anxiety.

It is well understood that loss of jobs, houses, income and general uncertainty are creating massive worry and anxiety, triggering mental & emotional illness, shattering families, relationships and people’s self-esteem, self-confidence & self-image. As mentioned in last week’s success letter, the extreme stress, loss, sense of hopelessness and the perceived destruction of one’s self-worth has even resulted in many murder-suicides:  husbands killing their family and then themselves.

I have received an extraordinary amount of requests from clients, colleagues, readers and even friends for further help in dealing with this crisis and its consequences.

Never give up

In this week’s Success Newsletter, and in the light of numerous suicides related to the economy, I would like to explore the ways to rebuild yourself psychologically & emotionally and recover your spirit in spite of whatever is happening in your life.

First a quick update:

·

Now, let’s talk about the various ways to empower you in spite of all of the challenges.

There have been numerous suicides and murder-suicides as a result of the economy. In the past seven days, a man in California killed himself, his wife and 5 children after losing his job, another man in Maryland did the same because of huge debt, and today, it was announced that David Kellermann, the acting chief financial officer of mortgage finance giant Freddie Mac was found dead, believed to be suicide. Even billionaires have also taken their life after their empires crashed. Adolf Merckle lost about half of his 9 billion dollars before deciding to commit suicide.

Why would a man who still has more than a billion dollars left choose to take his life?

The two biggest mistakes women make

In this week’s Success Newsletter, I would like to discuss and reveal the two biggest mistakes women make, how those mistakes destroy relationships & romance, and what is the best way for men to respond.

First a quick update:

·         Soul Mates – fact or dangerous myth? Can someone else make you happy and complete you? Is your soul mate perfect? From where does the concept of soul mates come? Are we designed to spend our entire life with just one person? What is chemical attraction and what does it take to create a lasting, meaningful and healthy relationship? Listen to the hour-long interview I gave to Joanie Winberg, founder of the National Association of Divorce for Women and Children and host of “Single Again! Now What?” internet radio show. I also smash wide open the myth behind soul mates and divulge the missing key and five steps to “Finding Your Ideal Match and Loving Yourself.”  http://patrickwanis.com/RadioInterviews.asp

Now, let’s talk about the two biggest mistakes women make.

No. 1: Falling in love with a man’s potential – what he could be or might be one day. Many women hope the man will change and grow and evolve; but worse, they expect that he will change and grow and evolve. And then they become disillusioned and deeply disappointed when he doesn’t change, has no interest in changing or simply refuses to change.

 �
Sadly, men generally don’t have any interest in changing until they truly need to change – when the pain becomes so strong that they realize they must change i.e. when the wife threatens to divorce her husband unless he attends counseling or changes a specific habit. And even then, the man will only change when and if he is willing and ready. And ladies, please understand that it takes men years to change, mature and evolve.  You can read more on this point in my In my success newsletter of October 2008, http://patrickwanis.com/blog/2008/10/29/why-dont-you-change/

Kicking bad habits

In this week’s Success Newsletter, I would like to reveal strategies to help give you the power to change any negative habit.  

First a quick update:

·         “Abusive lovers – women blame women” – One in three teens is abused in a relationship and every day, three women die as result of abuse. And this week, R & B singer and celebrity Chris Brown pleaded not guilty to beating his girlfriend, singer Rihanna. Meanwhile, surveys reveals that today’s children are learning that violence is an acceptable and appropriate response to a domestic disagreement and that it is OK to hit a woman. Listen to the interview I gave to Russ Morley, host of the morning show on News/Talk 850 WFTL for insights into abusive relationships and domestic violence. Why are women blaming women? What can parents do? Are abusive lovers a new problem? How has the hip-hop culture added to or exaggerated the problem? http://patrickwanis.com/Abusive_lovers.asp

Now, let’s talk about kicking the habit.

What comes to your mind when I use the expression “kick the habit”? What habits are not serving you in your life?

A habit is an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary. In other words, if we practice something long enough, often enough and on a consistent basis then it becomes a habit; it takes over us, it controls us and we do it without conscious thought or questioning.

We also need to understand that we engage in habits of doing and not doing. In other words, if you do not exercise, then that is also a habit – not exercising.

Stop blaming and criticizing others

In this week’s Success Newsletter, I would like to discuss the ways we use judgment, criticism and blame to protect ourselves and hide our real pain and feelings.

First a quick update:

Stress: its effect on your health, common causes, signs & symptoms, and how it causes food cravings and belly fat. Listen to my comprehensive 20-minute audio on how to recognize the physiological effects of mental, emotional and physical stress on your health –  www.patrickwanis.com/stressandhealth

Now, let’s talk about blame and how it damages your life.

This week, a journalist from “D la Repubblica”, the weekly magazine for the Italian newspaper “la Repubblica” interviewed me about an article she is writing on “mass narcissism” in the Western culture. She asked me what I believe to be the opposite of narcissism and I said the qualities of compassion and empathy.

Empathy is about understanding and entering another person’s feelings while compassion is about actually feeling someone else’s pain and desiring to relieve them of that pain.

Surprisingly, to express compassion and empathy to others, you must first begin with yourself. You must first become aware of your feelings as well as accept that we are all humans, we are imperfect and we all make mistakes. We must accept that it is okay to experience moments of self-doubt, fear, insecurity and disappointment. We must also accept that we will, at times, make the wrong decision, the wrong choice.
