Happy Morning Happy Day!

Happiness is difficult to define and even harder to measure. We experience it as a combination of elements, in the same way that one wheel or spring inside a watch doesn't keep time - it is a result of the synchronicity of the whole. As a relative state, happiness is what psychologists call our subjective well-being and, fortunately for us, it is a state that we can actively change for the better. Here are 20 ways to start.



Everyone longs for happiness, but few possess it. The pursuit… Continue

What causes anxiety?

There is no one cause for anxiety; it is likely that many factors contribute to a person's chances of developing anxiety. Scientists have broken down the potential causes into three groups, genetics and early learning, brain biochemistry, and the fight or flight mechanism.


Brain Biochemistry - Chemical Imbalance
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in the brain that regulate a person's thoughts and feelings. Two of the primary neurotransmitters that affect a person's fe

Relief from Tension

Many people have asked me about techniques for coping more effectively with stress.



Although I send some of them for counseling or psychotherapy when symptoms are severe, most are looking for practical ways to manage stress on their own. They want to take responsibility for handling their own problems observing their inadequate methods of dealing with stress, learning new techniques to improve their habits, and then practicing these techniques on a regular basis. (or you may want more… Continue

Often times, your mind pairs the anxiety attack with things or events that are completely unrelated to the onset of your anxiety.

Sound of Health

The truth is, if we are thin, it does not mean that we are entirely healthy. After I read the statement for the first time, I thought that it is impossible to achieve physical, mental and social well-being at the same time, so every single human on earth is in bad shape. In my mind, this is not achievable, this is nonsense.

Many people today think that I always exercise, therefore, I am very healthy . Lots of peole think in that way?

After a while, I finally understand the stat… Continue
