Are you still working on your Happiness Routine? Here are some ideas for it.

Did you forget how to have fun and be playful?

Ask your children to remind you.

We are all so busy every day as if we were running a marathon: getting to work on time, trying to make enough money to pay bills, staying in shape, getting enough sleep – does it ever end?

We know that we need to make time for fun, but how? Read the full article…»

Halloween is a fun holiday that people celebrate in quite a few countries of the world on the night of October 31st.

Halloween is just around the corner, but there is lots to be done before then: the house to decorate, the costumes to find, fun and creepy food to prepare and definitely party games or various activities to organize to make sure that everyone feels festive for the spooky Halloween fun.

Have you decided to improve your health by becoming more physically active, or may be by quitting smoking, drinking, overeating, etc.?

If that’s the case – that is fantastic!

Making an important life changing decision to improve your well-being is a key part of healthy living.

But we all know how difficult it is at times to follow our own rules and decisions: busy lives, hectic schedules, children, issues at work – everything seems to be on the way to our decision. Read the full article…»

Shakespeare wrote: “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.”

It is true that most of us will have good days and bad, superlative experiences and some that will take us to the depths of misery.

Unfortunately, many of us live in fear of the future, to the extent that even while celebrating some salutary event like a hard-earned promotion, the purchase of a new home or the arrival of a new addition to the family, we are beset by anxiety.

We wonder: “What if I can’t perform up to standards? What if I get sick and can’t make the mortgage? How am I going to pay for college?” Read the full article…»

If you look around - you can’t help but notice that there are quite a few people who tend to see the grass greener elsewhere and try to frantically take steps to change their lives to fit in.

Some of these individuals seem to have excessive confidence, even though in reality, they definitely feel the lack of self esteem and confidence.

Low self confidence will keep you from enjoying your life in full and appreciating many areas of it along with unfulfilled personal relationships, profession and everything else. Read the full article…»

Quick! What do happiness and success have in common? 

Both are a matter of perspective.  

This point is well expressed in an article I once read in “The Toastmaster” magazine.  

A teenager sat next to Albert Einstein at a public gathering.  

The teenager asked Einstein what he did for a living.  

He replied that he studied physics. Read the full article…»

I would never trade my amazing friends, my wonderful life, and loving family for less gray hair or a flatter belly.

As I’ve aged, I’ve become kinder to myself, and less critical of myself.

I’ve become my own friend…

I don’t chide myself for eating that extra cookie, or for not making my bed, or for buying that silly cement gecko that I didn’t need, but looks so avante garde on my patio. Read the full article…»

To many people, the word “hypnosis” still conjures images of people quacking like a duck or believing they are Arnold Schwarzenegger, making a fool of themselves on stage.

It often comes as a surprise that this method of affecting positive, permanent life changes has been around for thousands of years, and is actually endorsed by the American Medical Association.  Read the full article…»

Every one’s  lifestyles have changed in the last few decades, and unfortunately multi-tasking is an everyday occurrence.

Most of us are busy juggling a career and a home, all the time striving to achieve a perfect balance between the two.

The fact that the lines separating these two worlds have blurred almost to the point of disappearing, makes it very difficult to maintain a healthy balance.

This is a very nice story about how to stay happy and positive no matter what!

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. Read the full article…»
