One Minute Tip:
Steps to take you closer to your Goals Have a Plan – Even if it is flimsy to begin with, you should construct a plan to include goal, milestones and personal accomplishments.
This will provide you with a visual image as to what you are working for, what milestones you have successfully met, and where you need to do better.
Rewards – When children do something great, parents will reward them with something nice, whether a kind word of encouragement or a new toy. When people do well in their job, they get raises.
As you surpass your milestones, reward yourself. Treat yourself to something nice a new dress, a new fishing pole, whatever you like, be sure to award yourself for a job well done.
Power Quotes:
Happiness:
”Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the
stars.” Health:
”Build for yourself a strongbox, fashion each part with care.
When it’s strong as your hand can make it, put all your troubles
there. Hide there all thought of your failures, and each bitter
cup that you quaff. Lock all your heartaches within it, then sit
on the lid and laugh.” Prosperity:
”When you follow your bliss doors will open where you would
not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn’t
be a door for anyone else.”
Tips for your Happiness:
When a Bad Relationship Damages Your Self-Esteem Getting involved in a bad relationship is something that a lot of people go through at one time or another. Sometimes, though, people have to endure mental abuse from their partners, which can have a negative effect on them that lasts a lifetime.
It can be tough for you to bounce back from the mental abuse you had to endure and your self-esteem suffers greatly because of it. The mental abuse you were put through is usually an attack by your partner to make you feel worthless and insecure.
The partner does it to gain control and boost his or her own ego (yes, women can be abusive, too). They want you to have low self-esteem so you wont think for yourself. Getting out of a relationship like that is the first step you need to take in order to save your own sanity.
There are other things youll need to do to bounce back from the mental abuse. Its important to stay active. Get out and do things with your family and friends, because an abuser loves to alienate you from your loved ones.
Keep your mind focused on other things so that you dont isolate yourself at home and become dependent on the negative person whos feeding into your self-esteem issues. Call up friends, read uplifting books or concentrate on a project like redecorating your house.
Do whatever it takes to keep you going. If you have a job, continue to work and take note of your goals and achievements. If you dont have a job, look for one. Working can get your mind off of your problems and give you the necessary affirmation that you can do whatever you put your mind to – and that youre not worthless.
Avoid jumping into other relationships until youre fully healed emotionally. Youre more likely to fall for other partners who are just like your ex. You dont want to get into the same situation as before and repeat the cycle of abuse.
Dont waste time on thoughts of your ex – whether its negative or otherwise. Some people make the mistake of spending a lot of time with thoughts of how much they hate their former partner or how they wish they could get revenge.
Release the anger and focus on whats important you! Its time to move forward with your life. Dont be afraid to seek some professional help.
A professional can help you work through your feelings and help you build your self-esteem back up. Dont let a bad relationship break your spirit.
Dealing With Work Related Stress
Examples that can cause work related stress are trying to get too much work done in too little time, cutting corners or otherwise taking chances that may put you, or someone else at risk, and trying to get along with superiors and co-workers.
Everybody has days when there simply seems there’s too much work to get done. Trying to get everything done by yourself can bring on stress. Some people try and deal with the pressure by delegating certain jobs to others.
If you can unburden yourself and not worry about when and how the work gets done, if you can put full faith and trust in co-workers or subordinates it can be an effective escape valve. Trouble is, most people can’t let go.
If you have the type of personality that demands to know how things are going, chances are you’re only increasing the pressure and stress on yourself by constantly worrying if the work is getting done or not.
To lessen stress you must either learn to trust others to get the job done, or prioritize jobs to get rid of “what must be done” first. Many people tend to “put off” the difficult jobs they hate to do until the last possible minute.
Of course, this only makes it all the more difficult and stressful when you finally get around to doing what you should have done earlier.
When you feel the “walls closing in on you” if possible, take a break. Many people in trying to relax actually kick their bodies into overdrive by using their break time to either get a nicotine or caffeine fix.
Instead of calming you down, both substances being stimulants speed up your body processes. You may think you’re relaxing, but your blood pressure and heart are working harder.
Eliminate Stress Stress is a key contributor to poor health and quality in life generally. Study after study has found that when a person is stressed, the body reacts. Keeping stress in check will help you manage your overall wellbeing much better. You Can Download my Stress Relief Guide here: How to Break Free From A Stressful Life

How Our Ancestors Introduced Herbal Remedies to the Modern World
Without herbal medicine, modern medicine would not be in the advanced stage that it is. Our species has relied on plants for thousands of years not only for nutrition, but to ease ailments that develop within our minds and bodies.
The parts of an herb have helped us survive disease and pestilence and contributed to our survival for as long as humans have existed. Over time, we have learned which herbs and parts of a plant provide value to our lives and which have the potential to cause damage.
We know that our ancestors used herbal remedies because archeologists have unearthed evidence that they used plant-based treatments all over the world. Whats intriguing is that cultures on a global scale, which had no known contact with one another, all used herbal remedies in much the same way testing and tracking what worked and what didnt in the herbal world of remedies.
As time proved some assumptions correct, our ancestors passed the teachings about herbal treatments down through familial lineage. They also created texts to help others study and learn about the techniques used in taking a natural approach to healing.
It was from our ancestral roots that modern-day pharmaceutical companies derived their synthetic drugs today. They work to try to recreate the natural effects herbal treatments deliver to the human body, sometimes succeeding and often failing. Aspiring, for example, was created as a replica of the substance found in willow bark that provides a natural pain reliever.
Botanical treatments do not provide the same side effects that synthetic drugs do, which accounts for the reason why many modern-day consumers are steering away from man-made compounds and concentrating on the return to their roots of herbal remedies and natural treatments.
When our ancestors began cultivating plants for their own use, they included herbal gardens that provided immediate access to particular plants they found soothing for their ailments, including aloe, peppermint, mustard, and more.
As the cultures began to merge throughout the years and travelers started exploring the world, ideas were exchanged and treatments one culture found useful were now in the hands of another culture who previously didnt have access to such findings or even the plants themselves, before trade.
Herbs were so important to our ancestors that they became a part of religious rituals and were highly valued. Today, not only do consumers see the significance in promoting herbal treatments, but doctors are aligning with this way of thinking as well.

How to Save Money on Airfare as Prices Keep Rising
Flying is fun. Well, maybe not as much fun as it used to be but its still exciting to board that big bird and jet to destinations beyond the horizon. No doubt there are more hassles now with security and tickets cost more as airlines struggle to keep their heads above the clouds of rising costs.
Airlines are cutting back on giveaways and laying off personnel. Theyre also tacking on baggage fees and adding extra charges for atypical check throughs such as golf clubs and pets.
Children travelling alone now pay more because they have to be watched and cared for. But, there are ways to fly smart and save if youre creative.
Be flexible. If you can fly any carrier, any time, and almost anywhere youll come out dollars ahead. Dont be choosy (assuming you have a choice) about which airline you fly.
Shop, compare and buy the cheapest ticket. Airlines offer specials but check the restrictions and dates to fly. Ask about taxes and fees that can inflate the base cost.
Fly off-peak days such as Saturday and Tuesday through Thursday. Business travelers usually fill up the plane on the other days so dont fly when they do.
Stay over a weekend if possible. Dont fly on a Monday or Friday. Thats when people are either leaving or coming home. Avoid flying on holidays for obvious reasons.
Buy your ticket in advance. Were talking two to four months in advance. This gives the airline a chance to plan ahead on how many passengers theyll have and how many to feed (if youre lucky enough to get fed.)
Before you depart, check to see if there has been a reduction in the fare since you bought your ticket. If so, call and ask if theyll offer you a refund of the difference or a travel voucher for a later flight.
Depart before sunrise or after sunset and your savings will get brighter. Sure youd rather depart at 10AM perhaps, but get up a little earlier and catch the redeye that takes off at 3AM and pocket the savings. Besides, youll get to your destination earlier.
Connecting flights with layovers are usually cheaper than direct flights. Direct flights are more convenient and may get you there a little sooner but think of the fun of seeing new and different airports. You may have a long enough layover to make a quick tour of the city.
Collect air miles especially if youre a frequent flyer with various programs offered by the airline and credit card companies. Some have partnership agreements allowing you a bigger choice on which airline to fly.
Keep track of your air miles with records and receipts as airlines have been known to lose miles. And, remember you dont have to just fly to build air miles. Other purchases can work as well.
Pack efficiently and dont check through luggage if possible. Utilize your carry-ons and do without luxury items that take up space.
You must be decisive and make a few sacrifices but good deals are out there. Flying is an adventure enjoy it!

My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn’t seem to get food poisoning. My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in icepack coolers, but I can’t remember getting e.coli. Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then. The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system. We all took gym, not PE… and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked’s (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can’t recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.. Flunking gym was not an option… even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym. Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention. We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything. I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself. I just can’t recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations. Oh yeah… and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed! We played ‘king of the hill’ on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of Mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn’t sting like iodine did) and then we got our butt spanked. Now it’s a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat. We didn’t act up at the neighbor’s house either because if we did, we got our butt spanked there and then we got butt spanked again when we got home. I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop, just before he fell off. Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amuck. To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that? We needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes? We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn’t even notice that the entire country wasn’t taking Prozac! How did we ever survive? LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA, AND TO ALL WHO DIDN’T- SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN’T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING
