With inspiration on your side, you can opt to relinquish control of the situation to create a performance approach that works for you. Whether you want to create a public speaking persona or build a rapport with the audience for a single event, you can do so.

THE AUDIENCE WANTS YOU TO SUCCEED

Much of the anxiety that rests in the task of public speaking revolves around the speaker’s perception of the audience. The fundamental fear can develop quite rapidly if the presenter sees the audience as a threat. You can do yourself a great favor by recognizing that the audience wants you to succeed.

Empathy is a big part of this general idea. Those sitting in the crowd are probably just as apprehensive about speaking in public as you are. They are well aware of what you are probably feeling and you may even use this to your advantage in your approach.

No matter how hard people work to be terrific co-parents, there are always some communication pitfalls and traps that can catch parents by surprise. By understanding and recognizing the loopholes and possible mistakes that can happen when co-parenting, you are using one of the best ways to constantly assess your communication with the other parent. It avoids having your children getting involved in any conflict, misunderstanding or negative aspect of the divorce.

BECOMING DEFENSIVE

Keep in mind that sometimes, even when using reframes, active listening, "I" messages and focusing on the positive and collaborative aspects of the co-parenting relationship there is still the potential for finding yourself in defensive mode. Once you become defensive you are no longer willing to hear what the other person is saying and you are more focused on defending yourself with a retort or remark that you are with hearing what message is being sent, even though it may be communicated poorly.

If you find yourself becoming defensive because of what your co-parent is saying, immediately get curious about your reactions. You may have to ask for a minute to calm yourself and get back on track. This can be accomplished by simply saying "I really want to hear what you are saying and I need a minute to just consider your comments. Do you mind if we just take a short break?” During the few minutes that follow, calm down by taking a few deep breaths and thinking about what the other person said that got you in defensive mode. Identify what it was and address it so that you can put it behind you and listen when the conversation starts again. This may be a self-conversation, not out loud but in your head that sounds like.

"Ok, when I hear that same old comment about my not being on time, I get so upset. What I need to remember is that my being late is affecting my kids, and I want to be a good parent. I accept the fact that I was late and this upset the family, so I need to listen and suggest a way to prevent this in the future. "

Becoming defensive is a natural emotional way to protect ourselves from things we don't want to hear. In some cases they may be valid, but in others they may not be accurate at all. Arguing with the other parent about what opinion is right and what is wrong is likely not to solve anything, plus it will be extremely counterproductive to the collaborative atmosphere you are trying to foster. Being right is not as important as keeping your kids out of conflict.

Cosmetic surgery can bring up hundreds of questions for those considering it – and that's a good thing. But for every question you have, you should also have an answer on hand to help you assuage your fears. It's only with knowledge that you can make the best decisions for your body.

WILL MY SURGERY HURT

This is the most common question that plastic surgeons are asked when a patient comes into their office. And it's a good one. But the answer varies from person to person.

Some people have naturally high tolerances to pain, so the pain after surgery may not seem all that bad to them. But for others, it might be a bit tougher.

To help minimize your pain, ask your surgeon about the size of incisions they will be making into your body. Typically, the smaller the incision, the less pain you'll have. In addition, ask your surgeon about the pain management system they will use once you're out of surgery. You will typically get pain killers orally and then be given a prescription to fill when you get home. Make sure to take these pills as directed to prevent pain – it's easier to prevent pain than to handle it once it's already overwhelming.

WHEN WILL THE BRUISING AND SWELLING GO DOWN?

For most people, the biggest issue they have after surgery is postoperative swelling and bruising. Your body has gone through a traumatic experience, so this is normal. To correct this problem, you want to make sure you are wearing any supportive garments you may have been instructed to wear, as well as use ice and anti-inflammatory medications to help with the swelling. Everyone heals from bruises at different rates, so you may just need to be patient in that part of your recovery.

WHAT IF I'M ALLERGICTO LATEX?

Those who are allergic to latex don't have to worry about having a reaction. Most cosmetic surgery centers will have a latex free operating room where you will be comfortable and safe from reactions.

HOW MANY PROCEDURES CAN I HAVE AT ONCE?

The answer to this question is a bit tricky because it depends on the procedures you want to have and how complicated they will be. In many cases, surgeries are recommended at the same time as this limits the exposure to anesthesia as well as the possibility of infection. It's always better, after all, to have only one incision instead of several.
