Emotional Well-Being Is Key to Healthy You

In our daily quest for the well-being lifestyle, we often overlook our emotional well-being. In counseling my clients, I often remind them to step back and enjoy the moment. With the techie advantages we enjoy we are always on----Flex hours at work give us the ability to start earlier and work later; email synced with mobile devices allows us to be connected around the clock, every single day. And let's get real, sometimes we want to take a time out--- we need to take a time out and unplug from the continuous connections for our emotional well-being.
Following are guidelines to help ensure that you're taking care of your emotional health on the journey to the well-being lifestyle.

Whether it is a special occasion, event, or unexpected compliment, enjoy the moment and savor the thoughtfulness of others in recognizing or complimenting you. Don't dwell on "I should have" or "if I had more time I would." Recognize that you are deserving and worthy, simply relax and revel in the good thoughts and intentions of others.

Develop Resilience
One of the most consistent things is change. Though change may not initially be viewed positively, our ability to adapt, accepting changes that impact our lives contributes greatly to emotional well-being. When change arises, it is important to keep a positive self-image, reach out for support from those who are close to us, and keep things in perspective.

Connect with family, friends, and colleagues building and nurturing relationships. The feeling of connection that results from relationships with others contributes to feelings of self-worth and happiness. Relationships enable us to share our feelings and concerns, with others who understand and care about us. These connections create a support system which fosters emotional well-being.

The ability to laugh is priceless, and easy to do. Laughter is powerful medicine for both the mind and body. Its benefits include relaxation and boosting our immune system by decreasing stress hormones and increasing immune cells which improves our resistance to disease. Laughter is the catalyst for the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. They create an overall sense of well-being, and are heart healthy. The hearty (pardon the pun) chuckle improves the function of blood vessels, increasing blood flow which helps promote cardiovascular health.

Be Active   http://j.gs/17l2 
Find an activity that you enjoy and include it as a regular part of your life. This can include volunteering, musical pursuits, sports, exercise or even something sedentary such as reading or word games. This activity gives you something to look forward to, relieves stress and contributes to overall well-being.

Work from home job? Business? How do you decide?

It's a big decision to stay home with your family, rather than continue in a ... job outside the home. There are many choices you must make if you decide to work from home, and many pitfalls to avoid.

The first things to look at are your skills and interests. Working from home is in some ways more difficult than working outside the home (but more fun, since you don't have to leave your children), so do what you love if at all possible.  http://x.co/YmSk 

Next, decide if you are interested in a job or a business. You will need to consider the hours you want to work as well. Many jobs need you during traditional business hours; others allow you to work your own. Likewise, many home businesses need regular hours, others, such as party plans, require a great deal of evening and weekend work.  http://12c3blwamc9t82bbqyzd2prteg.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SPK81

Consider how much money you can invest. If you want a work at home job, you should not have to pay to get the job itself, but some do have other investments required. For example, in addition to running my website, I do medical transcription. This required that I get appropriate reference books, and I rent a Dictaphone from my employer. Do not pay to get the job under any circumstance. Just remember that you wouldn't pay for a traditional outside the home job. Businesses, on the other hand, often require some sort of investment, depending on the kind of business. Some may even have monthly costs, such as for websites or supplies. Know what you can afford. http://contactofindia.com/counter.php?rid=AF0001262
Think about how much interaction with other people you want. If you're not interested in telling everyone you meet about what you do, a business may not be for you, particularly if you have to sell things in person.="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822/US/httpwwwsuhasp-20/8014/a4ec802b-92dd-429f-a508-001ae5787a20&Operation=NoScript

Take a look around your home and figure out what you can use for office space. You will need a place you can keep all your business supplies and work in relative peace. Remember, if you take a job taking calls, most employers require that you not have children yelling in the background. Even if you can have your kids around, you will get more done in a peaceful environment.

Talk to your family about your plans. Make sure you will have their support. A lack of support is an easy way to fail.  http://www.clickworker.com/become-a-clickworker?utm_source=484944&utm_campaign=CW4CW&utm_medium=email

Whatever you decide to do in the end, whether work a home job or a businessFree Articles, make sure to network with other work at home parents. They will understand the issues you are dealing with even if what they are doing is different.

I LIKE THIS LINKS----->>>>***aLWAYS--- U MAY BE ++++SELECT

some funny---jokes---

“You have four cavities!” barked the naval dentist, looking at the X-rays. He grabbed a huge steel syringe and shot both sides of my mouth full of novocaine. He then looked at the X-rays and then my mouth. Then back at the X-rays and again at my mouth. He then sat down.“I have good news and bad news,” he said. “The bad news is, these are not your X-rays. The good news is, you’re cured.” 


I wear glasses because I like to dramatically remove them to display anger. It was awkward doing that with contact lenses.  http://contactofindia.com/counter.php?rid=AF0001262

A married couple has been out   shopping for hours when the wife realizes that her husband has disappeared. So she calls his 
cellphone. 
“Where are you!?” she yells.
“Darling,” he says, “do you remember that jewellery shop, the one where you saw that diamond necklace you loved? But I didn’t have enough money at the time, so I said, ‘Baby, it’ll be yours one day’?”
“Yes!” she shouts, excitedly.
“Well, I’m in the bar next to it.”  http://mGinger.com/index.jsp?inviteId=9028558957 

I came down with the flu and wanted my husband to do some of the housecleaning. I wasn’t sure how to tell him, so I tried reverse psychology.
“Honey, I’m sorry I’m leaving you with such a mess,” I said between sniffles. “The laundry needs to be done, the dishes washed, the floors cleaned.”
“Don’t you worry,” he said sympathetically. “It can all wait until you feel up to it.” -http://q.gs/1QYxS

Are Malls Our New Temples?

Festivals are a time for shopping. Well and good. But I think those of us who live in large cities would be kidding ourselves if we pretended that this is the only time we engage in rampant consumerism. No, from Bangkok to Singapore, Mumbai to Manila, shopping—particularly shopping in large malls—is a year-round priority.
Shopping centres are good. They are a sign of dizzying economic growth, and a demonstration of how far Asians have come, in such a short time. For many of the older generation who can remember a time when everyone lived in villages and there was no running water, the multi-level, air-conditioned mall represents comfort, choice, luxury and better times.
But many Asian metropolises with burgeoning middle classes now have such a proliferation of malls—all teeming with outlets of Marks & Spencer, Gap, Starbucks, Bulgari, Cartier, Mont Blanc—that they appear to have long crossed saturation point. Nowadays, it seems our default venue for every activity is the mall—it’s where we shop, eat, watch movies, bowl, arrange to meet our friends, have a romantic date or just generally lounge around.
Not only that, we have come to regard malls as important landmarks or tourist attractions. “When you come to visit us, you must see our new shopping centre, it’s massive and has an Egyptian pyramid at the entrance”—sentences such as these are quite usual. Whole generations of Asians are growing up to think that, aside from home and school, the shopping complex is the most natural place to be.
Many young people shop for clothes at the mall so that they can look good when they meet their friends—at the mall.
My main contention with shopping centres is not that they are often massive concrete blocks that don’t take into account the architectural nuances or cultural backdrop of a city, or that they promote ultra-consumerism at a time when our planet can ill afford it. My main gripe with the plethora of malls is that they don’t seem to make us happy. Oh, the large advertisements outside the stores could persuade us to think that if we only had this pair of jeans, or if we hung out at this café, then we could feel more fulfilled. But once we buy something, we only want to buy something more.

The Other Wonders of the Universe


Not only does the spine stretch in space, but the heart gets smaller, too
With less gravitational force than on Earth, there’s less pressure on your spine and so it’ll get a bit longer, effectively making you as much as two inches taller. In this microgravity environment, your blood also tends to move towards the heart and head. The heart interprets this as an increase in the amount of blood in the body and that it needs to pump less, so it shrinks.Both effects are only short-lived and, after a brief period of readjustment on arriving back home, the heart and spine return to normal   http://cashfromnet.in/home?ref=om151 
 The light reaching Earth today is 30,000 years old
The sun’s rays are produced by fusion reactions deep within its core. Once a single photon (light particle) has been made, it has an arduous journey to get out of its dense surroundings. It travels at nearly 300,000km per second—trying to cover a distance of about 700,000km—but is constantly bumping into charged particles and changing direction. Eventually, after around 30,000 years, it escapes the sun and, in just 8.3 minutes, travels the last 150 million km to Earth. http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab
About 50 tonnes of space dust and rocks fall to Earth each day
Many people are familiar with shooting stars, but the reality is that these streaks of light are pieces of rock zipping through our atmosphere. In most cases, the rocks are destroyed on entry, leaving only fine dust to drift down to Earth. If you run a magnet around the gutter of your house or the base of the walls, most of the dust you collect will have its origins in outer space.
The surface of Venus is so hostile you would either boil, be squashed or dissolve!
Although it’s the second planet from the sun, Venus is the hottest because it has a very dense atmosphere made up of so-called “greenhouse gases.” The 1970 Soviet Venera lander recorded surface temperatures of around 500C.  http://x.co/YmSk
If the heat didn’t get you, then the weight of the thick atmosphere would crush you (it’s about 90 times the pressure we experience on Earth). And, if you survived that, you’d be dissolved by sulphuric acid rain.
There could be life in the oceans under the thick, icy crust of Europa, Jupiter’s moon
The energy from the sun underpins our entire food chain, but down in the depths of our oceans—where no sunlight penetrates—entirely separate ecosystems thrive around hyperthermal vents, drawing energy from the heat. It’s now believed that one of the best chances of finding life elsewhere in our solar system is around similar underwater vents in Europa’s vast sub-surface oceans. 
Mars appears red because it’s rusting 
Actually, the surface is salmon pink, but this colouring comes from a very common chemical process that we’ve all seen on Earth. Rust forms  http://www.clickworker.com/become-a-clickworker?utm_source=484944&utm_campaign=CW4CW&utm_medium=email
