How To Feel Better In Fifteen Minutes

Feel BetterAuthor – Paulyn Lloyd

Life can sometimes get on top of you and make you feel as if you have no hope and as a result you can start to feel depressed and powerless. But you may be feeling depressed but you are not powerless.

If you want to begin to feel better then first you need to just put your worries aside for a second.

I know it’s easier said than done but just trust me on this one.

Get a pen and paper and write down the things that you have in your life to be grateful for. Even if it’s as simple as running water, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, eyes to be able to read this etc, etc. Keep writing until you can’t think of anything else that you have to be grateful for. Have a think about this and think about how lucky you are to have these things. (more…)

How To Introduce Two People To Each Other In Any Social Situation

Guest author Vincent Kyle Ng

There are no hard and fast rules on how to introduce two people to each other. The basic idea is to treat both people with respect and come up with a way such that they would know each other’s name and also have something to talk about so that there will not be awkward silences.

How to introduce two people to each other:

1. Give their full names

2. Add an impersonal identifying tag

Examples of such taglines include:

“This is my best friend, Peter Taylor”

“This is Peter Taylor, the partner in my law firm”

“This is my college roommate, Peter Taylor”

“The new accountant with our firm, Peter Taylor”

A complete introduction would sound like this:

“Martin, I would like you to meet my college roommate, Peter Taylor. Peter, this is Martin Williams, the partner in my law firm”.

Attaching a tagline gives these two people who have just met each other something to make small talk on. Merely (more…)

The Impact of Exercise on Health and Well-Being

exerciseAuthor - Wayne Mcgregor

We live in a very technologically evolved society. This has many benefits in terms of making our lives easier, more comfortable, and more convenient. In fact, it makes our lives a bit too convenient.

We take our cars to and from work, we sit at a desk all day, and come home to houses that are heated and cooled automatically, and that have water available at the turn of a tap. Car, computers, indoor plumbing, these might seem like commonplace things, but they are all relatively recent inventions, and they all lead to our living sedentary lifestyles.

This means that we don’t get enough exercise, which is one of the primary causes of overweight and obesity, which, in turn, cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, and premature death. (more…)

Life Isn’t About Finding Yourself, It’s About Creating Yourself

creationAuthor: Scott Ginsberg

BE brilliant at the basics. Be the change you want to see in the world. Be the first one. Be the only one. Be unforgettable. Be interesting. Be a sleeper. Be that guy. Be the world’s expert on yourself. Be better than yesterday, but not as good as tomorrow. Be confident enough to be humble. But be somebody who reminds everybody of nobody else in the world.

AND DON’T wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t sell, enable people to buy. Don’t let the bastards get you down. Don’t be weary in well doing, for in due season you will reap a great harvest if you faint not. And don’t wait for the mainstream to validate your voice. Don’t despise the day of small beginnings. Don’t be selfish with your knowledge. Don’t complain if you haven’t earned the right. And don’t be different, be unique. (more…)

Taking Baby Steps To Better Health

Perhaps the biggest reason why New Year’s resolutions don’t cross the finish line at the end of the predetermined time line is because it is going to take some sobering lifestyle changes that will generally take longer than the month of January. While the goals are always very ambitious, the results are much less than desired and usually inspires giving up rather than pressing through to get the results you envision. Revamping a new you will require more than 30 days. New Year’s resolutions are good examples of goals that are usually never achieved because of the gun ho attitude that soon looses steam and the time line that is attached to them. However it is very possible to achieve any goals set, by using a common sense healthy perspective approach. (more…)
