Taking time out can make a big difference to your happiness

When was the last time you took time for yourself? Just to stop for an hour, ten minutes or even just five minutes in your own company, away from the stresses and strains of your life?
We all lead such busy lives these days, whether we are working a job and running a household or raising children at the same time as looking after an elderly relative, sometimes we need to stop and think of ourselves as well. Just imagine you were so exhausted that you couldn’t do any of the things you need to do every day, who would do grandma’s shopping then? Who would take the kids to cheerleading or football practice? Not only do we deserve a break sometimes, that little bit of ‘me’ time is essential for keeping our bodies working the way they are supposed to.

My first shot at Making Happy T-Shirts
We can often sit for a while looking at our photographs remembering the day that photo was taken. Perhaps it was a family birthday party or an imprompt night out with some friends.
These small snapshots of our past remind us of the feelings we had as that picture was taken and the time we spent with those people or on that vacation. That’s why we take them, as keepsakes of a happy time in our lives or to remind us of cherished friends and family.
Here’s the zero hype-fluff free rundown of the secret to happiness

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?

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.”
