This is perfectionism - she's not willing to let go of a task and let someone run with it. This client felt that if house wasn't cleaned her way, it wouldn't be cleaned right. In order for her to delegate this, she had to trust in a professional cleaning service, and in her kids, and just let go of responsibility altogether.

As a result, this client has found that her relationship with her kids has improved. They certainly did object when she first delegated certain daily responsibilities to them, but her stress level has decreased tremendously and that has had a very positive effect on her relationship with her kids.

Objection #3: Taking Care of Others Another client is president of a professional organization and is in charge of a big annual event. As lead person on this event, she needs to delegate a lot of work, or it simply won't get done! But she had a lot of guilt about delegating projects without first "cleaning them up." Instead of handing over a file and saying "Here you go, this is what I need, please figure it out," she was spinning her wheels trying to clean up file and make project as simple as possible.

In this example, client is not really delegating, because she's too busy taking care of people helping her. It's very considerate, but doesn't move her project forward. Politely delegating projects, chores, and tasks is not mean, rude, or unreasonable - it's necessary, especially in position that this client was in. Without delegation, nothing would get done.

In order to lower stress and ensure success, adults with ADD should ask themselves on a regular basis “What would I really love to delegate, and how can I go about delegating it immediately?”

Use a thick cream as this contains more oil than water and will help seal in more moisture. Apply it to slightly wet skin thus sealing in extra moisture. This results in softer and smoother skin.

- Change your products according to seasons

Extremes of cold and hot weather as well as central heating and air-conditioning can strip your skin of essential moisture, leaving it dry and more prone to damage.

For this reason you should change your products according to seasons. Leave your moisturizing mask on skin for 5 -10 minutes. It works quickly and it is a great treat, particularly after sunbathing, or when your skin feels tight. Better yet - it can even remove dry patches, flakiness and fine wrinkles.

Naturally, skin care does not stop at your neck. To maintain a beautiful body you should lavish same care on it as you do on your complexion.

- Use oils for bathing

If your skin is naturally dry, best way to re-hydrate your dry skin is - bathing.

However, when skin is toweled dry and left open to atmosphere, water exhales from surface of skin and your skin becomes dry again. That's why bathing by itself is not enough - exogenous water introduced into skin must stay kept there.

Bath oils contain vegetable or mineral oils and can be very useful for use in bath or shower.

Thus either add to bathwater as it is running an egg-cupful of oil or after taking shower apply oil directly to skin and then rinse it off before drying.

Also apply further moisturizers to skin either before or after drying after a bath.
