Those Embarrassing Body Problems

The way to prevent it, he says, is to condition ourselves ahead of time for facing stressful situations. "It's a matter of brain retraining. Gradually expose yourself to the nervous situation, and eventually your body won't respond as if you're in danger."

An easier way to prevent excessive sweating is simply to try an antiperspirant deodorant, Siegel says.

Five Secret Japanese Tricks to Make Life Better

It's also the subject of my new book, Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan. Keep reading for excerpts on how to silence a crying baby, get rid of splinters, swim backward, make grass greener, and easily clean up egg yolk... all using common household objects.

1. How to make a baby stop crying Dilemma: Sure, the baby's cute. But why won't he stop crying? Solution: The secret to stop a crying baby lies in making the sound you produce during the mouthfeel stage of wine tasting. Why this works: When babies are still in the womb, the noises they can hear are limited to those in the 6000-8000mHz range. The sound you make when you slosh the liquid behind your lips during wine tasting takes place at about 7000mHz, reminding the baby of a time when the world around was peaceful and the whirs and stirs inside Mommy's tummy soothed him back to a sleepy state.

With smoking, motivation is key

Motivation is the basis for taking action or making a decision. Motivation is an influence, an incentive, the stimulus for change. On Tuesday, the tax on cigarettes in New York state will increase by an additional $1.25, making the tax on a pack of cigarettes $2.75. The increase in the price of cigarettes will motivate people to quit smoking and motivate children not to start smoking. This tax increase will spur more than 140,000 New Yorkers to quit for good, prevent more than 230,000 children from smoking, save more than 37,000 New Yorkers from smoking-related deaths and produce more than $5 billion in long-term health care savings for taxpayers.
