Anxiety is expressed in three interrelated ways: cognitive, physiological and behavioral symptoms. The cognitive component is the way the person’s thoughts process the dangerous situation. It’s that worrisome, pessimistic voice, forecasting doom and failure. “You’ll never pass that test.” The physiological, or biological, symptoms of anxiety are the body’s instinctive gear-up for “fight or flight.” Changes may include nausea, headaches, muscle tension, rapid heart rate, palpitations, hot flashes, etc. This is the cause of the stomach aches that assail your daughter every morning five minutes before the bus pulls up.

More often than not, women seek the desired title of Supermom but can’t quite seem to achieve it. Due to the critical nature of women, many really are Supermoms but they just don’t realize it. Being a Supermom isn’t as hard as one may think but it takes perseverance, dedication and patience at a level which surpasses that of an “ordinary” mother. [Read more...]

A mother’s attitude is everything. A mother’s attitude will affect the entire flow of the rest of the family. When something has upset a mother, not only does the spouse feel it but the children do too. When a mom is excited about something, the kids are typically thrilled about it too, even if they don’t understand it. Many times, the “secret” to maintaining positive energy in the home is for the mom to keep her mood in check and maintain a positive attitude. Some may say that under their own personal circumstances, this is nearly impossible if not entirely difficult. While it may be that for some mothers, due to the trials of life, it is harder for them to not be pessimistic, it is not impossible for them to make an effort and see what happens. [Read more...]
