Creating Better Relationships

Creating Better Relationships

Author: Reach Joe

The most important achievements you can ever have in this life is your own happiness.

And the majority of all the happiness you will ever have, will come from your personal relationships. Your interactions and the time you spend with the people you care about will be the major source of the pleasure, enjoyment, and satisfaction you have on a daily basis.

Follow Your Bliss

Follow Your Bliss

Author: Dawn Fields

Gail was a quiet, shy, young lady. She has been quiet and shy for as long as she could remember. As a child, every time her mother introduced her children to someone, she would always introduce Gail as the shy, quiet child.

Gail had one sister and a brother and both of them were outgoing and quite sociable. Gail, on the other hand, kept to herself and found it quite difficult to make friends. But that didn’t bother her much. She didn’t really care about having friends. It never was anything that she strived to do.

Laughter and Your Health

Laughter and Your Health

Author: Lisa Branigan

Did you know that according to research, children laugh about 400 times a day while adults only laugh about 15 times a day? Some how we lost the ability to laugh, as we got older. Could it be that putting more humour and laughter into our day will improve our health and wellbeing?

In an article written by Drs. Gael Crystal and Patrick Flanagan they stated that; "Scientists have found that laughter is a form of internal jogging that exercises the body and stimulates the release of beneficial brain neurotransmitters and hormones. Positive outlook and laughter is actually good for our health! More than ever, scientific evidence suggests that laughter really is one of the best medicines."

Are you tired of the same routine day after day? Do you feel as if today is only a speed bump in the road between yesterday and tomorrow? Well, you’re not alone!

How To Be Outrageously Happy

How To Be Outrageously Happy

Author: Shamus Brown

You can be as happy as you want whenever you want. Zen masters have proven this

- all you have to do is just “be” with whatever you have right now. Yeah, I know. Sitting on

the floor contemplating your blank space may not be what you’re after. Highly successful

people are outrageously happy because they have fulfilling ways to meet their values. What

are values? Well I’m not talking about Dan Quayle and Murphy Brown, or Limp Bizkit’s recent

Giving Attention To Happiness

Giving Attention To Happiness

Author: Roy Thomsitt

When I left England in 2000 there did not seem to be much happiness around. People in modern western society tend to be self focused to the extreme, prone to criticise rather than support or applaud, and with little time or inclination to devote to others. Relationships can be a battleground rather than a haven of mutual support. Thinking about it now, I did not know anyone who I could say was really happy. I was acquainted with a few who might have been in a state of happiness, but I did not know them well enough to be sure.

Sunny Days Are Here To Stay

Sunny Days Are Here To Stay

Author: Sonny Julius

Yes, this is correct. Sunny Days are here to stay, that is, if
you want them to be. What’s that mean? Well, let me explain
it this way.

How do you feel when it’s a “sunny day” outside? When you
first awake and the sun is shining in your window doesn’t that
perk you up a bit? Now I realize there are days when you are
not feeling well, maybe there’s been a serious problem you
are facing or there are any number of things that nay not be
pleasant in your life. But overall with all those things
happening to you doesn’t a “sunny day” help you to feel at
least somewhat better about life? Don’t you feel much
better then when it’s a cloudy and rainy day outside?

Are You Hooked On Love?

Are You Hooked On Love?

Author: Dr Jill Ammon-Wexler

When you’re in love your eyes and your face light up. And so do four tiny portions of your brain. "Falling in love" is a brain condition!

Neurobiologists Andreas Bartels and Semir Zeki of University College in London used fMRI brain scans to peer into the brains of college students in the throes of that crazed, "can’t-think-of-anything-else" stage of early romantic love.

When the subjects were shown photographs of their sweethearts, the fMRI images showed that four parts of their brains "lit up."

Choosing Happiness

Choosing Happiness

Author: Jodie Foster

Did you know that it’s up to you?

It’s actually your choice.

You can choose to be happy instead of waiting around for it
to suddenly appear out of nowhere one day and land in your
lap. Happiness is called upon and cultivated.

Now keep in mind, this is my personal perspective of
happiness. You might have a different view. Everyone has a
unique view point, especially where emotion is concerned.
But, nonetheless, I like my outlook on happiness. It helps
me to see that I am the creator of my own thoughts and state
of mind. It is my choice what feeling I choose to have on
any given day. This does not mean I don’t go with the flow
of feelings, but that I can choose at any given moment to
change what it is I desire.
