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

Relief and Anxiety

During an anxiety attack, you're mind automatically scans the environment to look for the culprit as a way of protecting you from future threats. Often times, your mind pairs the anxiety attack with things or events that are completely unrelated to the onset of your anxiety. External cues get paired with the initial anxiety attack, and can provoke subsequent attacks (You can try natural… Continue

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

What's Up With The New Features?

Hey everyone, hope things are going well and you're doing a lot of exploring. I've added a few new features to the site, including gifts and something called "Qik." In case you've never heard of it, Qik is a live video service and can be used by people with those super duper smart phones.

Peak Fall Colors on Hold

I expected the Fall colors to be peaking by now, but it looks like the next 2 weeks will see the best of the colors in the Kentuckiana area. On Saturday, I hiked 2 trails in Bernheim Forest (Cull Hollow and Guerilla Hollow) and the colors were definitely coming on, but as of now, the deep reds and oranges aren't quite there yet. Here are a few early fall color images from Saturday. Look for a few hiking blogs in the next 2 weeks as I've had quite a few awesome adventures since my last entry.… Continue

But, on the other hand , in the 20th century, if you are looking for a destination where you can experience something of the past as well as something of the present ,well Bhutan is the plac… Continue

Camping Trip to Boundary Waters

The weather is really getting right to camp. I love the fall leaves and the cool weather. If I were taking a group to the boundary waters (between Minnesota and Canada) to canoe, would it be wise to get some sort of Temporary insurance. I am not sure that everyone in the group has Medical insurance. I want to mak… Continue

Now he is taking his love of extreme activities down under the sea. “Snorkeling was really like the gateway for me to get into diving.” said Young, 26. “I started snorkeling a few years ago and it really sparked my interest.

The Pinnacle

On Thursday, September 17th, my friends Chris, Tere and I went out for a hike on the Appalachian Trail at the Pinnacle. The Pinnacle is hailed as the most famous view off the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania and it lived up to it's reputation. We picked a good day as it was supposed to be raining all day so there was nobody on the trail except for the local Boys and Girls Club with their mentors and 2 thru-hikers. Even though the forecast said rainy, the day turned out to be beautiful and arou… Continue
