| Posted: 18 Feb 2022 09:27 AM PST  There are various in-demand jobs in 2022 as companies begin to fill empty roles. In 2021, several million Americans left their jobs voluntarily, also known as the "Great Resignation". These workers were burnt out, looking for better pay, or deciding to shift to a brand-new career. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the quitting rate reached 2.9%, the highest since 2000. As a result, businesses and organizations are looking to hire hard-working individuals with impressive professional experiences and education. As a job seeker, you can find an available position in most industries, but especially in teaching, technology and health care. Here are the top in-demand jobs in 2022.

| 3 TIPs to Reduce Emotional Overwhelm Posted: 18 Feb 2022 12:00 AM PST  We've spent quite a bit of time getting into our heads recently, so today we are going to talk about three skills that focus on the body. We're going to break down the TIP skills—and yes it is an acronym! TIP skills target our body chemistry to reduce the feeling of overwhelm and other forms of high emotional arousal. The skills work quickly, often within seconds to minutes, for those of you looking for more instant gratification. These skills are easy to use and don't require a lot of thinking, which is important when you're in a highly stressful situation. One caution that I give my patients about TIP skills is that they're not designed to solve problems, they're designed to bring down your emotional arousal so you can then think clearly and then solve problems. I've had several patients actually be surprised that the skills worked and they have become go-to skills for many of them. I like these skills for when you are near a breakdown point and need to get your emotional arousal down fast. Other times when the TIP skills are useful include: when you're in a crisis and have high urges to engage in destructive behaviors; when you're not able to process information correct; when you're caught up in an emotional and can't get out; or when there's a problem demanding your attention but you're too overwhelmed to think clearly. When looking at skills like TIP, the expectation shouldn't be to drop from maximum intensity to zero. Instead, you're looking for any change in your emotional experience. So, you might start at 100 and see yourself drop to an 80, which is still high but better than where you started. Others may notice that their overwhelm is steadily increasing, but stops increasing after the use of a skill. I tell my patients all the time that sometimes our skill usage isn't about feeling good, it's about keeping things from getting worse. TIP skills are short-acting, so they may be the first in a combination of other skills. You might be thinking, but Dr. Johnson, how do these skills work? The TIP skills are designed to activate your body's physiological nervous system for decreasing arousal. Your nervous system is composed of two parts: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic system is the one that revs you up. It's responsible for your fight or flight response and increases arousal. The parasympathetic system tries to keep things balanced. It helps with increasing emotion regulation, which is associated with decreases in emotional arousal. The TIP skills are all about activating your... Keep reading on Quick and Dirty Tips |
| What's Square About a Square Meal? Posted: 17 Feb 2022 04:10 PM PST  Did you have a square meal? If someone asks you that question, they are referring to a healthy, balanced, satisfying meal. If you ate only candy, pretzels, or ice cream, then you did not have a square meal. But why is the word "square" used to describe a filling, nutritious meal? An oft-repeated story about the etymology of the term "square meal" has been that in the 1700s sailors in the British Royal Navy ate their meals off square wooden plates or trays called trenchers. A trencher was a square piece of wood with a large carved out circular depression in the center for food and a smaller depression in one corner for holding salt. While it is true that, at one time, plates of that shape and substance were used, there isn't any evidence that the term "square meal" came from that practice. Neither "The Sailor's Word Book" nor the Oxford English Dictionary connects the origin or usage of "square meal" to the Royal Navy and sailors eating off of trenchers. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, using the word "square" as an adjective dates back to the 1500s, and it meant "just, equitable, or honest." A person or action that was straightforward, true, or fair was "square." In competitions, we want the rules to be "fair and square" for all involved. We want a "square deal" in matters pertaining to work, business, and life in general. Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt, who served as president of the United States from 1901 to 1909, often used "square deal" to describe his policies promoting the fair treatment of everybody. In the mid-1800s the phrase "square meal" started to be used in the United States and referred to a meal that was filling and substantial because it was well-balanced with all the sustenance a person needed. In the June 1865 issue of the "New Harper's Monthly Magazine," J. Ross Browne described what a "square meal" consisted of in the mining town of Virginia City, Nevada. Browne was a world traveler, federal employee, and writer. On one of his trips through the Washoe Valley he saw an advertisement that he told his readers would "send a thrill of astonishment through your brain." The ad he saw,...

| Parentheses, Brackets, and Braces Posted: 17 Feb 2022 01:40 PM PST  Today Bonnie Mills helps us talk about three punctuation marks: one you undoubtedly know how to use, another you possibly misuse, and yet another you've likely never used. If you've ever wondered when to favor parentheses over square brackets and when to stick in a pair of curly braces, read on. ParenthesesYou're probably well versed in the basics of how to use those sideways eyebrow thingies, better known as parentheses, but the details can get tricky. First, remember that a pair of them is called "parentheses," but a single one is a "parenthesis." For now, let's just say that parentheses mainly enclose information that isn't vital to a sentence. You may want to review the episode in which we compared parentheses to dashes and commas because dashes and commas can separate things that aren't vital to a sentence too, but the different ways of setting off information do have differences, but no matter what you put inside parentheses, one important thing to remember is that your sentence still has to make sense if you delete them and everything inside. And although you are allowed to put both partial sentences and complete sentences inside parentheses, you shouldn't put more than a whole paragraph inside, according to Garner's Modern English Usage. (1) One thing people often wonder is how to use terminal punctuation marks with parentheses. If your sentence starts with an opening parenthesis, and what's inside your parentheses is a complete sentence, then the terminal punctuation mark, such as a period, question mark, or exclamation point, goes inside the closing parenthesis: "(I knew he wouldn't want to do that.)" On the other hand, if what's inside the parentheses is only a partial sentence, then you put the terminal punctuation outside instead, for example, if you wrote, "I moved to America when I was 10 (in 1980)." For the most part, these two rules seem fairly easy to understand—complete sentence: terminal punctuation inside; partial sentence: terminal punctuation outside. But when you have a sentence that contains another complete sentence within parentheses, the punctuation can get confusing. Let's say you want to add the complete sentence "I can't believe it...
