If you're a naturally kind and empathetic person, is it just your personality? Or is it actually in your DNA?
A new study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests the latter. Researchers from California, Oregon and Toronto have identified a gene variation that seems to be linked with being caring and trustworthy.
I just read some interesting and disturbing data. Only 9% of people keep their New Years resolutions for the entire year. While almost 65% don’t even make resolutions! No wonder we’re in the shape we are. What are you doing this New Year to THINK BIG?
There are three basic or key components for “success” (how ever you define success.) They are:
- A strategy
- Tactics
- Mind-set
The strategy is the “big picture” of what you’d like to accomplish.
The tactics are the “how” you are going to get there. The mind-set is the catalyst for implementing the tactics.
We've all been there!
We've begun the process and we are making headway, and then we hit a plateau.
It might be weight loss, a spiritual practice, a career endeavor or a home
makeover. You feel stuck and you don't want to regress back to how things were
before, but you feel discouraged, and perhaps bored and uninspired. What should
you do?
There are different ways
of communicating which most of us are familiar with. There are probably others
on the continuum, but the four basics modes of communication are: passive,
assertive, passive-aggressive and aggressive.
We are all working towards becoming assertive. I hear from a majority of my female clients that they struggle with being too passive. They are in fear of being assertive because they feel their assertions may come off as aggressive or as an attack on the other person. They don't want to ruffle feathers, be unlikable or goodness forbid, plain old mean! However, if we don't express our truth we become resentful and often passive-aggressive or even outright aggressive.
You all know someone who "doesn't look their age." Most times you say this in a complimentary way, as in, "You're forty-eight! Wow! You don't look it!" Lynn Glenn is one of those people. Lynn Glenn is a 62 year old Southern California native and currently the Senior Writer and Editor for MyBestHealthPortal.net and MuscleMagFitness.com. Here's his motivational story.
Jolene Roberts, in her 20’s, was met with many health adversities including waking up from a coma. Even with these adversities Jo still remained ambitious, excelling in her career as a Registered Nurse working with trauma patients. Around her 33rd birthday, she became extremely ill again. Physicians suspected she had “Systemic Lupus Erythematosus”! As she started to recover, Jo and her physician husband found the diagnosis to be undesirable and chose to negate it.
A new study suggests spirituality, not religious practices, determine how happy children are.
To make children happier, we may need to encourage them to develop a strong sense of personal worth, according to a new study by University of British Columbia researchers published in the online edition of Springer's Journal of Happiness Studies.
Here we are already moving through the year so fast. It is the perfect time to reevaluate the SMART goals that you set back in January.
