If you're reading this, you're probably looking for ways to overcome stress. What if I told you that you could rewire your own brain to make that possible? No, this isn't science fiction. In fact, you do it every time you learn something new. If you want to be in control of your life instead of anxiety telling you what you can and cannot do, keep reading. The human brain is capable of amazing feats, and we have power over how it works and what it does. Instead of being inflexible, it is pliable and will work the way you want and direct it to work. The things we put our time and energy into strengthen while the things we neglect weaken over time. That is the gist of neuroplasticity. If you want a good habit to be a part of your life, you do it over and over again. Once it is repeated enough, the knowledge becomes ingrained into your mind. Think about when you learned to ride a bike. You didn't know the first thing about it before, and then as you practiced, it became second nature. Then, if you went a few years without doing it, you would need to relearn the skill. This book is dedicated to helping you use neuroplasticity to your advantage. If you believe you can retrain your brain to help you succeed, you will can: Stop feeling so anxious all the timeBuild self-confidenceFeel more confident about yourselfOvercome any sort of addiction.Foster better and healthier interpersonal relationships While reading this book, you will learn of new stress management and self-improvement techniques that you might not have heard of, such as the Emotional Freedom Tapping technique, which combines physical and psychological counseling to reduce stress. You will also hear about other options in which another person is involved in your treatment, such as cognitive therapy. Using neuroplasticity to your advantage means moving away from self-destruction and towards self-improvement. People who handle stress more easily are not better or smarter people. They simply make decisions that are good for them, forgive themselves for past mistakes, and accept where they are at right now.

This collection explores the discursive strategies and linguistic resources underpinning conflict and polarization, taking a multidisciplinary approach to examine the ways in which conflict is constructed across a diverse range of contexts. The volume is divided into two sections as a means of identifying two different dimensions to conflict construction and bridging the gap between different perspectives through a constructivist framework. The first part comprises chapters looking at sociopolitical conflicts across specific geographic contexts across the US, Europe and Latin America. The second half of the book unpacks sociocultural conflicts, those not defined by physical borders but shaped by ideological differences on core values, such as on religion, gender and the environment. Drawing on frameworks across such fields as linguistics, critical discourse analysis, rhetoric studies and cognitive studies, the book offers new insights into the discursive polarization that permeates contemporary communicative interactions and the ways in which a better understanding of conflict and its origins might serve as a mechanism for providing new ways forward. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in critical discourse analysis, linguistics, rhetoric studies and peace and conflict studies.

Vagus Nerve

Conflicts are inherent to human society, but most of them do not concern us directly as participants or eyewitnesses. How we see social conflicts depends on how they are presented to us. This volume gathers together writings by contemporary specialists in different fields, from different backgrounds, cultures and locations, but united by a common thread: the conviction that history and current affairs are constructed and presented, not according to the facts themselves, but according to media, culture, politics, gender, religion and other factors.
