How to Mind Map Yourself
Since the time of the Ancient Greeks, humans have been using methods to tap into the mind's ability to associate and imagine outcomes in order to find coherent solutions. Mind mapping is one modern day approach that draws on associations and imagination to create an overview of lots of seemingly separate pieces of information to find and clarify pathways, solutions and to organize issues. You may be wondering how a mind map can be of help to you personally. Indeed, it can be of tremendous help, as mind mapping can be used as a source of self-empowerment or personal growth, a way to sort out personal issues and challenges, and as a motivator to help you achieve goals you've set yourself. And it's even easier for us than it was for the Ancient Greeks, given that we can use the amazing array of mind mapping software available (or even a piece of paper and a pen). Your journey of self-discovery through mind mapping begins here.
How to Hide That You Are on a Diet
Although some people love to talk about their diets, you might not want the entire world to know you're dieting. While one good reason to hide your diet intentions may be to surprise folks with weight loss, another reason could be that after trying countless diets you may not want to hear about it if you trip up. Or, you may simply be fed up discussing all the pros and cons of various diet types as the only topic of dinner table or social event conversation, or having to justify the choice you've made. In addition, studies show that the mere act of announcing your goals to others makes you less likely to accomplish that goal, because the sense of satisfaction you get from publicizing your intention gives you a premature sense of completion.[1] Instead of announcing or discussing your diet plans, keeping the information to yourself and surprising your friends and family member as the pounds slowly melt away is an acceptable option but you will need some good methods to distract nosier sorts. Regardless of your reason for keeping mum about dieting, this article will show you that there is a way you can hide the fact that you're on a diet.

The Etiquette of Inviting Your Ex to Your Wedding
If party planning isn’t tough enough, now you want to invite your ex to your wedding. And while there is no clear cut etiquette answer on the suitability or otherwise of having an ex at a wedding – Prince William and Princess Catherine invited ex-flames to their wedding – it is important that both you and your fiancé are comfortable with the decision and have talked it through. Having an ex at your wedding takes tremendous tact and an extremely understanding fiancé––hopefully one who is confident enough in your relationship to freely admit if he or she feels uncomfortable with having your ex at the wedding or is truthful when stating he or she is totally fine seeing your ex sitting in the congregation. It also matters why you're inviting your ex, as extending an invitation to your ex should be executed with grace and class and only if you parted ways on amicable grounds and no longer have romantic feelings for each other. In this article, you'll learn how to approach the possible complications and the delicacies involved in asking an ex to your wedding.
