Control Expectations
1 year ago
Our evaluation of experience is substantially influenced by how it compares with out expectations. So what may be the easiest route to increasing satisfaction with the results of decisions is to remove excessively high expectations about them. This is easier said than done, especially in a world that encourages high expectations and offers so many choices that it seems only reasonable to believe that some option out there will be perfect. So to make the task of lowering expectations easier.
How often have you checked into your long awaited vacation spot only to experience that dreaded “underwhelmed” feeling? The thrill of unexpected pleasure stumbled upon by accident often can make the perfect little diner or country inn far more enjoyable than a fancy restaurant or four-star hotel.

Many people incorrectly assume dry skin leads to wrinkles and that moisturizers can prevent them. Not true. Research shows 90 percent of wrinkles are caused by the sun’s UVA light and sun damage is the #1 cause of premature aging in women and men.
Why are UVA rays so bad? Even at low-level exposures, UVA light breaks down collagen, which causes wrinkles. Even worse, scientists have found that UVA is the main culprit for many melanomas because it reaches deep into the underlying support structure of the skin.
Your options for sun protection are SPF moisturizers, basic sunscreens or tinted moisturizers.

“This is arguable, of course. But even dermatologists we’ve read tout La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Lait SPF is the best sunscreen in the world. Why does this sunscreen work so well? Because of the chemical “Mexoryl,” well-known all over the world to protect skin from wrinkle-causing UVA rays. (Most sunscreens only protect against UVB rays).
How good is Mexoryl? “It produces a product which gives us almost perfect protection against sunshine,” said Dr. Vincent DeLeo, chairman of dermatology at Columbia University to ABC News.”
