i wanted to be a vet first, but then i realized how bad i am at science. so now i am thinking i want something with creativity. like fashion designers or songwriters or writers. something with music would be awesome. any ideas?

I think that ever job needs a bit of creativity… A Vet would have to be creative a lot of the time while trying to figure out how to treat their "patients"

If you’re into music, why don’t you try tracking down some people who do that for a living. You don’t necessarily have to track down Mariah Carey or Jay Z. You could start by maybe finding someone who works at a recording studio or for a smaller music label.

Pick up the phone and call them. Tell them about your situation and that you are trying to figure out what to do. Ask them if they would be willing to do an interview.

Let them know that you aren’t looking for a job, just info to help you make a decision…

Also, if you can, try to maybe volunteer for a company in the industry you want to be in. People are usually pretty willing to accept volunteers and you can also put that on your resume or put it towards school volunteer requirements.

The main thing is to start having some experiences around the stuff you think you want to do and then make some decisions about how to do it.

You are already ahead of a lot of people who never ask these types of questions.

Happy hunting!

Hypnotherapy is a form of therapy that is rapidly growing in popularity. Used for everything from obesity and terminal illness to quitting smoking and curing phobias it’s not hard to see why this seemingly mystical method of treatment is attracting so much attention.

This article will examine the practice of Hypnotherapy and its effectiveness in making changes to both conscious and unconscious behavioral processes.

Unconscious and Conscious Minds

Hypnotherapy is based on the principle that we have two ‘minds’. As science confirms, we have a left hemisphere that deals with logic and thought processes and a right hemisphere that is not logical but emotional and governs such processes as creativity.

Hypnotherapists recognize that the cause of a lot of problems such as phobias and the associations that cause us to smoke or overeat are a result of miscommunication and misrepresentation of certain aspects of reality within our minds.

Inducing a State That Is Conducive To Healing

Hypnotherapy then recognizes that if a certain mental state is produced, commands or directions can be interpreted in a way as to powerfully effect the mind of the client.

If you were to try to convince someone to stop smoking you would find it difficult because you would have to penetrate their thinking and logic (that causes them to smoke) and influence the emotional part of the brain enough that it would create a command to itself to stop smoking.

While this can be done it is rarely successful and relies on many factors being present in the client. Hypnotherapists achieve this goal by inducing a ‘trance’ or a mental state in a client that is conducive to this positive change.

Through various means of communication the therapist will distract the logical thinking mind and without the patient’s recognition, implant a command into the unconscious mind that will cause behavioral change.

Because it seems to passive and lacking in force, the patient generally receives the treatment well and assuming the therapist does everything correctly, the treatment is successful.

Milton Erickson

Milton Erickson is considered to be one of the foremost pioneers in the field of hypnotherapy. There are many accounts of his ability to cure patients of varying types of inflictions with his creative use of language and ability to induce powerful trances in even clients who were non believers in the power of hypnosis.

One story is recounted of how Erickson cured a man who had needed to urinate every 30 minutes for the past 20 years. The man came to Erickson after reportedly having seen 100 physicians and even 4 supposed hypnotherapists, none of whom could achieve the appropriate causative outcome.

Through an intense one and a half hour talk where he utilized many of the key aspects of hypnosis, the man left Erickson’s office and walked back to his home and began going about his day. It wasn’t long before he noticed it had been 6 hours since he had needed to urinate.

Scrapbooking reflects the principle of “organized chaos.” You can put almost anything in a scrapbook, and creativity is a major asset for people who make scrapbooks (or scrappers). You can combine a wide range of materials, colors, textures, and images to create something as unique as you are.

Yet, every scrapbook is organized around a theme, the subject of the scrapbook. It may be a person’s life, an important event, a favorite vacation location, or any number of things the scrapper wants to remember. Scrapbooks are meant to preserve and interpret favorite memories, but the best scrapbooks do it in a way that tells a story.

The theme ties every element together in your scrapbook. If you’re making a scrapbook for a gift, your theme may be something that is important to the recipient. A very popular theme for young boys is firefighters.

Especially since 2001, all of us have been more aware of how heroic these public servants must be. Many grown men still dream of becoming a firefighter long after childhood is over.

Creating a scrapbook on a firefighter theme is a great project that you can ask your young man to join. Even though young boys may find the idea too girlie at first, they’ll love helping find the images and embellishments representing firefighters. You and your project assistant can have a great time collecting the elements and creating a firefighting scrapbook honoring the profession and telling the child’s story at the same time.

Here are some ideas for themes and supporting elements that may get your and your young potential firefighter off to a good start.

1. Colors.

There are several colors we associate with firefighting that make great color schemes for scrapbooks. Beginning with the ever-popular “fire engine red” and white, you recall the familiar fire trucks and sirens. But you don’t want to create an “ambulancing” scrapbook, so you can add other colors common to firefighting. Mustard yellow is the color of a fireman’s coat or parka and the oxygen tank he wears into burning buildings.

Another nice touch is to use the colors of the traditional firefighting dog. Black spots on a white background help honor the Dalmatian and keep your scrapbook color scheme interesting. Combining red and orange with a deep blue represents flames, and adding aqua or light blue introduces water.

2. Images and Firefighting Shapes.

Images are an important basic element of any scrapbook. Using familiar images, shapes, and symbols maintains your firefighting theme and adds to your scrapbook pages. Here are some suggestions to get you started:

3. Fire Engine. This popular vehicle is easy to recognize and easy to reproduce for your scrapbook. Your young man will quickly know what it is by its familiar shape and bright fire engine red colors. You can use it as a background image or make cut-outs to frame your photos and mementos.

4. Firefighter. Firemen have a familiar and recognizable silhouette, with their fire hat, parka, and axe. You can show your firefighter in different poses and positions throughout the scrapbook to add a sense of action to your pages. Holding the fire hose, climbing the ladder, or bringing a person out of the flames are all exciting ways to honor their courage.

5. Fire Hydrant. Another familiar shape and image is the fire hydrant. You can add that mustard yellow color to complement the firefighter’s parka, and the hydrant shape makes a great frame. But you may want to be careful in how you use it, given the hydrant’s popularity with dogs.

6. Hook and Ladder. This vehicle has very distinctive features that represent the firefighter in action.

7. Firefighter Symbols and Shapes. Several shapes come to mind when thinking about firefighting. The familiar shape of the fireman’s badge is a nice one for scrapbooks. The fireman’s hat is a distinctive shape easy to recognize. You might also consider cut-outs of Dalmatians, flames, the fireman’s axe, or the siren to accent your pages and make your theme loud and clear.

These are just a few ideas for a firefighting scrapbook. You and your young boy will have a great time thinking of other ways to incorporate the firefighter theme in your scrapbook.
