			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having grown up in the Korean church, it was clear to me what the difficulty was &#8211; the Korean culture. After years of research and my own personal experiences, after years of working in the church, and after years of compiling anecdotal tales and evidence, I knew in my heart of hearts that the Korean culture had a fundamental flaw that was infecting the churches &#8211; shame. Unfortunately, these studies did not go so far as to pinpoint the causal factors. However when I couple these studies with my familiarity as a Korean American and with other studies that have found a connection between the high rate of mental illness among Koreans and our culture, it is clear to me we have significant problems with which we as a human beings must deal. A very recent study shows Korea has the highest suicide rates among developed nations. More information: <a href="http://www.articlesharingshop.com/article20619.html">more info</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Depression is one of the most misunderstood and growing illnesses of modern times. A week of reading newspapers from which a abundance of human beings still get their &#8216;news&#8217; has been very revealing. In a week where a young imitation tried to capture her lifetime, the newspapers have been asking why someone who is gorgeous would desire to do such a body? As though it is okay to be suicidal if you are hideous. As depression becomes a trendy byword for newspaper columnists they turn it against the sufferers and tell us that WE are the ones using it as a fashionable trend, forgetting that we don&#8217;t promulgate trends &#8211; they do.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What Causes a Midlife Crisis?</p>
<p>The <a href='http://www.squidoo.com/what-causes-a-midlife-crisis' target='_blank'>What causes a midlife crisis</a> are wide and varied. Some are based on small minor things that collate over a period of years and eventually spill over to a full blown crisis, while in others, some major incident or tragedy sets a person off into crisis. Every person is different, and have different experiences applied to them that can trigger a midlife crisis. This article will deal with just three of the most major and common causes of mid life crisis.</p>
<p>The 5 Big Truths</p>
<p>A tragedy or major shock in your life &#8211; Someone close to you has died, or you have had a sudden near death experience. Incidents like that can lead to a person to begin questioning their own mortality, which can then lead to depression or mid life crisis type symptoms.</p>
<p>A sudden realization of getting older &#8211; A person may look at what they&#8217;ve done with their life so far and feel or realize that they haven&#8217;t achieved what they had originally set out to do. They can become depressed with the realization that they are half way through life and may seek out different activities that they may never have done before.</p>
<p>The andropause (men) or menopause (women) &#8211; Both these physical changes in a person can affect hormones that could offset and perhaps warp a person&#8217;s mind in a way that makes them do things they&#8217;d never done before. Once again, this can lead to confusion amidst a midlife crisis.</p>
<p>Goals that set as a younger person have not been met. Things like personal development or the working life / career, have not been achieved by the age the person has reached. This things can lead to depression which could then set off a mid life crisis.</p>
<p>Children leaving home. This can be a biggie, especially for females. Their usefulness as mothers has come to an end as their children become adults and set off on their own. This can go one of two ways, the mother will seek new activities and make the next stage of her life positive and healthy, or she can slip into a feeling of uselessness and slip into crisis.</p>
<p>Why is it Important to Identify it?</p>
<p>So, there are just three things that can cause a midlife crisis in people. Of course the first two causes can happen anytime in life, but midlife is becoming a key period in people&#8217;s lives, it is even being likened to adolescence, but in a potentially more volatile way. It&#8217;s therefore important to identify and try to manage as best as possible any crisis as this.</p>

<p>&gt;&gt; I know there are things that are crucial that need to be completed, and its not like I dont have time but I almost freeze in the face of certain failure perhaps awaiting the worst to happen before things get better.</p>
<p>In most cases the tasks at hand are not even that difficult. Some examples:</p>
<p>1. finishing a single outstanding class to graduate<br />
2. taking a simple drivers exam.<br />
3. going to the GYM<br />
4. Changing a simple expired registration sticker on my car (the new one is in my glove box)</p>
<p>Just incase you are wondering, I am a procrastinator, although I have great relationships, hold a steady job, am very well read. That&#8217;s what complicates things even more. WHy would this happen?</p>
<p>Any advice for this hopeless bastard. I need to know what steps, if any I should take before this gets worse?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest triggers for an episode of stress, depression or anxiety is a change to our lives, particularly unwanted change such as a death of a loved one, a job loss or a relationship breakdown. These are unpleasant experiences and for many, a prolonged period of mental trauma followed.</p>
<p>During the past week, two friends of mine have experienced differing major changes to their lives yet both reacted in exactly the same way. There is a very important skill to be learned from both experiences when it comes to change, and I’ll share it with you. Before I do, let’s look at how two totally different changes can trigger the same reaction but with drastically different emotional results.</p>
<p>Jimmy was my best buddy during childhood and our families were good friends. I haven’t seen him for a while and out of the blue, I bumped into him whilst on a night out. Sadly, his news wasn’t good as his father had passed away after battling cancer that very morning. Obviously, he’d known for a while that his father’s days were numbered but despite this, he was still in a state of shock and of course, he was deeply saddened.</p>
<p>I wished that our greeting could’ve been in happier circumstances, but such is the tide of life.</p>
<p>The following day, Paul, my best friend, rang me and told me some very good news. After studying and working hard for the last two years, he had reached his goal: a fully qualified commercial airline pilot. Knowing how focused and dedicated he’s been I was absolutely delighted for him! Of course, he was buzzing with excitement about the future that now awaits him.</p>
<p>OK, both of them supplied the same meaning to their circumstances by saying EXACTLY the same phrase:</p>
<p>“Things will never be the same again.”</p>
<p>Same phrase, but a world apart in meaning.</p>
<p>In the first situation, the loss of a loved one is an unwanted change, a change that cannot be prevented. In the second situation, the qualifications are a wanted, planned change, a change brought about by conscious choice to achieve a desired lifestyle.</p>
<p>However, there is a very important lesson you can learn from both that can help you deal with change, whether it’s a desired change like a change of job or an unwanted change like loss of a loved one.</p>
<p>Look at the phrase again. It describes not just individual experiences but the whole of life on planet earth. Because NOTHING in this life will stay the same. It just isn’t the nature of life. The very nature of life itself is a constant cycle of birth and death.</p>
<p>As a species, humanity has evolved throughout its history and will continue to do so. The way life is today is dramatically different than it was just 20 years ago. Technology, science, education, standards of living – you name it, it changes.</p>
<p>Look at your own life and you’ll see that change has been ever present. People, jobs, relationships, lifestyle – none of it has ever stayed the same. And imagine how boring life would be if everyday was exactly the same!</p>
<p>Reacting to change in a catastrophic or euphoric manner isn’t the way to deal with it. Far better – and far less emotionally arousing – is to accept that change is a constant of life whether we want change or not and that change will always happen. It’s how you adapt and assign meanings to change that counts.</p>
<p>Keep this in mind when change occurs and you won’t become emotionally traumatized. Change is a constant and indeed, things will never be the same again!</p>
