3. Health and Happiness - Self Test By Dianne Wandruff
   First of all, examine yourself outwardly.Look at your fingernails. Are they glossy? Do they appear nice and strong? How about your hair. It should be shiny and full of body. Now look at your tongue. Does it have a white coating on it or is it pink? Next your eyes: are they bright or dull...do they appear to be happy eyes or worried or lackluster? Do your eyes have brown flecks in them? If they do, those spots indicate injuries or malfunctions w…



4. 'Whatzup!' Sure Does Mean Something! By Suresh Adhikesavan
   "I was afraid that by observing objects with my eyes and trying to comprehend them with each of my other senses I might blind my soul altogether." - SocratesWhat do we do during our difficult times? Well, whatever we do, I think there will be only two categories that we will eventually fall into.1. Those who try to find out what really is going on.2. Those who end up doing nothing constructive.Anybody not in the first category should be in the…

We live longer, live healthier, and live more lively lives.Unfortunately, all but the most highly-evolved among us have our less-than-happy moments.

8. Finding Your Zone By Gail Seymour
   You hear about it all the time, that 'zone' where athletes excel with apparently little or no effort. Footballers seem to attract the ball like a magnet and place it exactly where they want it with ease. An archer can't seem to miss his target, whilst the gymnast can't put a foot wrong.In business, especially sales, too, 'the zone' is a well populated place. From deals that seem to close themselves to thorny scientific problems that are suddenl…



9. The End of Work and a New Age: Building a Vision for Happiness By Robin Henry
   After 46 years of working non-stop for a variety of employers as an hour-for-salary employee, my vision for my future is to refocus (I don't like retire) after my current employment contract ends.Retirement for me occurs when one is either too ill or too frail to do anything; one simply fills in each day waiting to return to the great void from which we all come. Death that ends this life and returns us to our real existence as a non-physical e…

11. Self Hypnosis Cds Help in Leading a Happier Life By Steven Harold
    All of us want to lead a happy and as much as possible anxiety free life. Yet, anxiety is a natural and necessary part of our life and in some ways can be a positive element of healthy living.Anxiety tells us that something is wrong. It starts a physical reaction of pumping adrenalin around the body. It gets the body ready for action. In primitive times it was a defence signal that we either needed to fight or run.In today's society although th…



12. How Big is Your Fish Tank? By Ken Donaldson
    “It’s the simplest of math: Big fish tanks grow big fish; little fish tanks grow little fish....”"You can't catch fish unless you put your line in the water. You can't reach your goals if you don't try." ~ Kathy SeligmanAs I was planning for one of my REAL Talk Forums, the “fish tank” metaphor came up in my thinking. I wanted to emphasize how people could keep their “bigness” and create a “sabotage-proof” life. I thought back to when I had a ve…



13. Looking In The Eyes Of Happiness By Roy Thomsitt
    From what you see around you in your daily lives, happiness may appear an illusory state of existence. Do you see true happiness in the lives of those who pass through your world each day? Do you see, and feel, true happiness in your own life, and the lives of your immediate family? Or in your work colleagues, or fellow commuters?The answer, in many cases, will be “no, I don’t”. Why is that? Is it because so many people have so many reasons to …

15. 7 Sure Fire Ways to Sabotage Your Life By Sharon Marquart
    We all begin life traveling on the “road to happiness.” At some point during this journey we may come to realize we turned left when we meant to turn right; which sidetracks us and puts us on plan “D” instead of plan “A”. Life’s not exactly “unhappy” - it’s just not as fulfilling as we know it can be. We begin to feel as if life became” sabotaged” somewhere along the way. Now it’s time to regain control and get back on track. You just need to …



16. Can Money Buy You Happiness? By Yvonne Finn
    Well, doesn't that depend on what's causing you to be unhappy, in the first place?If you've just lost a loved one, no amount of money will make you happy, only time and your own attitude will eventually lessen the pain and hopefully bring some joy back into your life.However, if a stack of unpaid bills is facing you each day, wouldn't enough money to pay them, not make you happy? If you are someone you love, needs expensive medical care and yo…



17. Be Happy, Join The Wednesday Worry Club By James Snyder
    Of all the people who know me, no one would say I am afflicted with worryitis. They may say other things about me, which may or may not be true, but that's another story.If you ask me, and nobody has, worry is just a waste of time that could be used more profitably. Every hour of worry takes away from an hour of happiness. There is absolutely no "rhyme or reason" to spend one moment worrying.Actually, there is a little "rhyme," (it sounds more …



18. Shhhhh… By Gene Simmons
    Like enough of the noise awready! Geesh, people…No, I’m not talking about the sometimes nearly overwhelming noise pollution that goes hand in hand with living in a big city. Traffic sounds, horns, sirens, airplanes, construction noises. I’m not even referring to the eardrum-shattering volume of the concert and bar bands – or the door-vibrating music coming from our kid’s rooms. Not even the irritating boom bass enlarging the size of the cr…

    Can you remember a time when you became a little irritated with someone and made a sharp comment that may have hurt, one which you later regretted?

In any of these cases to a lesser or greater degree the emotional part of your brain has produced a …



20. Turn Your Hate into Happiness By Bill Knell
    I hate Mondays! I hate Birthdays! I hate Holidays! We hear these statements all the time from others and ourselves. Justification for our hatred of certain days isn’t hard to come by. Mondays represent the start of a workweek at a job we may despise. Birthdays represent the progression of years we all wish would move at a slower pace. Holidays tend to accentuate preexisting family feuds, loss of loved ones and economic low points. Some people t…
