What is depression?
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Depression is more than the blues or the blahs; it is more than the normal, everyday ups and downs.

When that "down" mood, along with other symptoms, lasts for more than a couple of weeks, the condition may be clinical depression. Clinical depression is a serious health problem that affects the total person. In addition to feelings, it can change behavior, physical health and appearance, academic performance, social activity and the ability to handle everyday decisions and pressures. What causes clinical depression?

We do not yet know all the causes of depression, but there seem to be biological and emotional factors that may increase the likelihood that an individual will develop a depressive disorder.

Research over the past decade strongly suggests a genetic link to depressive disorders; depression can run in families. Difficult life experiences and certain personal patterns such as difficulty handling stress, low self-esteem, or extreme pessimism about the future can increase the chances of becoming depressed.

Why we dont exercise and the how to cultivate self control
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

For a long time it has been known that exercise is very good for our mental health. It is a natural stress reducer and sends the message internally to us that we care about ourselves. So why is it that 60% of people don’t regularly exercise and many don’t exercise at all? Every single day we’re making decisions on what we are going to do and what we are not going to do. So why don’t the majority of us make decisions to do things we know will make us feel better? What is the disconnect and where is our self control?

While there may be many underlying reasons of low self worth that may be attributed to us not taking care of ourselves, the focus of this blog is going to be on self control. More often now researchers are describing self control as a muscle that can be built up or depleted. There are so many things that we have to exert self control for in a day. These may include our own spaz-matic toddlers, a demanding boss, or in today’s economic atmosphere, controlling our own pocketbooks. At the end of the day, people are feeling that they’ve used up their self control and there isn’t enough left for exercise.

The problem here is that without the natural stress reducer of exercise, our stress makes us less calm, less focused, and less effective to get the things done we think we need to get done day in and day out. So how do we flip the tables on our thinking and exert some self control to integrate this free stress reducing activity into our lives?

Well, remember, self control can be thought of as a muscle so we need to start small and build up. We may not just get out there and start exercising. Instead, maybe we’ll begin by getting up in the morning at the same time. If you’re already doing that, make note of it and then try some other things including noticing when you’re slouching at work and sitting up straight. Or maybe you might start a practice of eating dinner a few times a week without the TV on and talking to your partner instead. A popular one I like to bring up is scheduling in your calendar a couple 3-minute breathing spaces throughout your day where you become present as you simply tune into your breath coming in and out of your body.

You can do anything you want; the point is just to make self control a part of your daily life. Then, when you feel you’ve got a bit of self control as a routine, begin to slowly integrate exercise when you feel the time is right.

A last point I’ll make is that support is also important in getting over the inertia of exercise. You may choose to hire a personal trainer or get a work out buddy, but remember, at the end of the day, making self control a part of your daily life is up to you. If your trainer or buddy is sick and you rely on them for this support, your practice will likely begin to slip as well.

Tips for leadership
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

"I have enjoyed reading some tips for leadership skills in a book. I learned they provide insight in dealing with both my personal issues, as well as, my professional career. Many of them helped when dealing with employees. I think the tips will help anyone who is interested in or already in a leadership position. As leaders, we must hold ourselves to a higher standard than we hold our subordinates, in order to set the example we want to work toward."

Can Women Handle Money
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Do you think women can handle money?
Financial matters are at the root of many a couple's problems. Who should handle the bank accounts, pay the bills and manage expenses? We all know how much women love to spend those greenbacks, but are they responsible enough to be in charge of a couple's finances?

Afghan Mother Wins Global Microentrepreneurship Award
Related to country: Afghanistan

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Zainab Barat Painda Khan is a mother of six who worked as a carpet weaver at home, generating an average of $70 a month with which to help support her family, while her husband worked in the city as a laborer. Despite both their efforts, the couple could not afford to send their children to school; instead, they had to forgo education to help with the weaving at home. Still, when a female CHF loan officer suggested that Zainab join a lending group, the family was hesitant.

Within months of joining, however, Zainab’s resolve had paid off. With a $300 loan, Zainab purchased materials and equipment that helped increase her income by 70%. With the profits, she successfully repaid her loan and sent her children back to school. Now, she is encouraging other women in the village to apply for loans to support their home-based businesses as well.

In November 2005, Zainab was awarded the 2005 Global Microentrepreneurship Award by the United Nations for her achievements and perseverance as a small business-owner in rural Afghanistan.
