Problem: Article: While you may feel like flying is a special occasion, don't dress up to your international flight. Flights overseas are long, and you'll want to wear loose, comfortable clothes. If your flight is especially long, consider packing a pair of sweats for your flight in your carry-on. Change back into your original clothes for the landing. Some airports offer long-term parking rates for your car while you're away. Call or email about the long-term car storage options and the costs of each choice. If car storage isn't an affordable option for you, use a shuttle service, hire a taxi, or ask a friend/family member to drive you there. Check in for your flight as early as possible to go through security and board on time. You'll also have time to use the bathroom or grab something to eat before you depart. While you're waiting for your flight, bring something to relieve boredom: keep a book, journal, or game in your carry-on to entertain you while waiting. Dehydration is a common problem on long flights, which can lead to exhaustion or irritability. Buy a large water bottle to fill up before you board the flight so you can take it in your carry-on. Avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine before and during your flight, as both can lead to dehydration. Most nations require you to mark on an official form what goods you bring with you to their country. Which items you must declare depends on the country. You will likely receive your customs form at the airport and during the flight. Fill it out while on the plane so you are prepared for landing. Some countries require a customs form for each person traveling while others require one per family. Check beforehand to know which forms you must fill out. Most countries require declaration of: alcoholic drinks, tobacco, animals, seeds, soils, medication, and animal products. International flights involve crossing time zones and long, uncomfortable plane rides. Both can disrupt your sleep schedule. Bring a sleeping mask and earplugs with you, and consider taking an over-the-counter sleep aid to help you adjust to the new time zone.
Summary: Wear comfortable clothing to your flight. Check with your airport about car parking rules for international flights. Arrive at the airport two to three hours before your flight. Stay hydrated. Declare your items for customs. Prepare for jet lag.

Problem: Article: When resolving a dispute between others in the workplace, focus on the facts of the situation. Avoid making character assessments or personal comments. Management should always be impartial when reviewing employee conflict and avoid personal relationships that can create bias. Open a dialogue between the parties involved. Often conflicts arise from miscommunication. Be a mediator and open dialogue between the parties in conflict, helping them come to a constructive conclusion to the issue. Be firm but fair. People aren't always going to get along and some personality types clash in collaborative settings. Set down ground rules for employee comportment, but don't act rashly, especially if this is a first time conflict. If the conflict is between yourself and an employee, discuss the issues one-on-one. If there is a conflict between the team and management goals, call a team meeting. Avoid confronting and calling out individual team members about sensitive issues in group meetings. Deal with the issue as soon as it comes to your attention. Otherwise, it could escalate and negatively impact employee performance. Just make sure not to address the issue too quickly, before you've had time to consider a course of action. . Encouragement and motivation are powerful tools when used correctly. Remind individuals of what they did correctly while also criticizing how they reacted poorly. Offer criticism that solves problems. Instead of focusing in on what an individual did wrong, ask "How could this have been approached more productively?" Be specific and relevant to the point of the discussion. It's easy to get side-tracked, but be sure to keep the discussion focused on a sustainable and positive outcome to the conflict. When conflict happens and resolution occurs, praise teamwork and collaboration and recognize the people who made it happen. If the conflict is between two employees, remind both of their strengths and weaknesses and how glad you are that the situation is resolved. If the conflict is between the team and management, recognize the key compromisers and team players who achieved resolution via an email memo to the whole team.
Summary: Be impartial and listen to understand. Address issues with the appropriate parties. Don't wait to resolve the issue. Give constructive criticism Broadcast praise.

Problem: Article: Basically, this is the idea that people and their thoughts are made of energy that is received and reciprocated by the Universe. Thus, if you emit positive energy, you will receive positive energy. If you emit negative energy, you will receive negative energy. For example, if you are waiting to hear back about a promotion at work and you have a positive outlook and are expecting the best outcome, then you will be informed that you did, in fact, get the promotion. If, however, you are harboring a negative outlook, you will hear that you did not get the promotion. The idea that "like attracts like" does not mean that just thinking about something will cause it to be mirrored in the person's life. You have to become a person who is able to actually manifest these things. Philosophical writer James Allen wrote that a man becomes what he thinks about. However, this notion is only accurate if the man acts on those thoughts. Encouraging yourself to focus on positive thoughts will inevitably cause existing positive energy (thoughts) to renew itself and turn negative energy/thoughts into more positive energy, thereby enacting a very real change in your life. Thoughts are powerful and have an incredible effect on how you respond to everything in life. But to truly use and understand The Law of Attraction, know that you will attract into your life what you want only after you start reflecting these desires in your own life. In other words, act like the kind of person who already has the thing you want. If you desire more money, don't just think about receiving more money, but "act as if" you are the type of person who makes the amount of money you desire. This simple mental change will bring about real change in your life.
Summary:
Learn what The Law of Attraction really means. Let The Law of Attraction help you create real change. Remember that thoughts are energy.
