Here’s the zero hype-fluff free rundown of the secret to happiness
Posted by: | CommentsThere are a lot of products and books out there on Happy… Some are OK and you can learn from them. Others not so much! They make Happy sound so hard, like training for a marathon. You don’t need to train yourself to be happy. It is all around you. It can be as easy as learning to be grateful.
I'm happy, Why aren't you?

Choose Happiness by Setting Goals
Most of us are good at setting ourselves little tasks, or maybe even one or two big ones. Maybe these are daily tasks, maybe something you want to achieve by the end of the month. You promise yourself you will walk to work today. You want to get the closet de-cluttered by the time your sister comes to stay from out of town. Maybe you want to decorate the bathroom. plan these things in our head but how often do we actually achieve them?
Go for it!
a little compliment goes a long way to happiness
Posted by: | Comments
Compliments are a wonderful thing; they can give you a boost whether you give them or receive them. But we can be pretty bad at both. Just telling someone they are wearing a pretty scarf, or that the piece of work they gave you was exactly what you were looking for, can go a long way. I met someone the other day who teaches people to train others for her company. One of the best tools she feels to help someone get the message is known as a ‘Praise Sandwich’. She swears by it. If you want someone to feel good about themselves, but they need to change something then give them the negative feedback sandwiched between two positive comments.
Explore your way to happiness
Posted by: | CommentsDo you know all the beauty spots in your town or city?
I have heard people say many times that although they have lived somewhere for many 
years they have never actually explored outside their own world. We visit the places we need to go and never think about exploring our surroundings. We take our own cities for granted. It only seems we start to really explore our surroundings when someone comes to visit and we’re looking for something to do. I bet young moms trying to keep their kids busy during summer vacations could tell you one or two museums or parks you knew nothing about.
Variety is the spice of life for happiness

Have you ever wanted to try something new? Take up horse riding; learn to play an instrument or maybe something else entirely? Well why not give it a go! Another popular saying is ‘life is for the living’, and what better way to live your life than to try all the rich wonderful experiences it has to offer.
How the secret to happiness can be in changing your habits?
Posted by: | Comments
We all have habits that we could change for the better, I do anyway, don’t you? Are you looking at your life in a positive way or negative way? Has this become a habit?
We all know that attitude has a lot to do with happiness. Something goes wrong during the day and we talk to ourselves and say, “Man that always happens to me.” Now what if you could change what you say when things don’t go right. Instead of “Man that always happens to me,” you would say, “Don’t know why that happened, but something good can come out of it, it always does.”
How to choose happiness after a break-up
Posted by: | Comments
Learning how to get over the end of a relationship can be tough. You may have heard the phrase ‘time heals all wounds’ – this is particularly true in the case of getting over break up. Without allowing yourself the appropriate time and space in which to heal, you will not be successful in knowing how to get over a break up and move on.
Getting back to happy
When you or your partner ended the relationship, you most likely went through a lot of emotions – including sadness, fear, anger and resentment. This is completely normal – so do not worry that something is wrong with you or that you are overly emotional, because many people have ridden this emotional roller-coaster before.
Overcoming the negative effects of bullying
Posted by: | CommentsEvery one of us has come across bullying at some point in our lives. Children can be cruel to others, as they try and find their own place in the world, and understand 
difference. In every school all over the world, there are kids who are ‘in’, and kids who are ‘out’. Small things such as physical appearance, accent or clothing can mark a child out as a potential victim of bullying from cruel children.
Bullying isn’t just something that happens to children
Conflict and Still Keeping the Happiness
Posted by: | Comments
I was out of touch with a group I belong to over this 4th of July weekend. Now I am playing catch up. It has saddened me just a little in reading what has been happening when it comes to an article on “How to Cheat at Writing,” Putting things in your own words isn’t cheating, it is telling a story your way!
Here is what I have found:
When it comes to reading articles or books (relating to answers to problems or self-improvement, etc.) that 2 or more people can have the same thing to say, but using different words is wonderful.
De-junk your life, for increased happiness within
Posted by: | Comments If things are getting on top of you, perhaps it’s time to do some radical de-junking. 
Sometimes when our minds are full of clutter – things to do, worries and stresses – it can make a real difference to you if your external environment is completely clear of junk.
Creative people tend to make clutter as they go along, and houses can quickly become full of stuff. Having piles of paperwork lying around, or too much furniture, can really affect your mood.
