Single Life Every Woman Has The Exact Love Life She Wants 11:18 AM Every woman has the exact love life she wants allows. The Single Woman’s 30-Day Blogging Challenge Day 6: Sound off on the quote, “Every woman has the exact love life she wants.” True or false? Are you in a relationship right now, and is it exactly how you envisioned it?Are you receiving the love you think you deserve? Or are you just waiting for an exit?If you’re a woman with the exact love life you want, congrats! Not everyone can say they’re as lucky.I know I wasn’t for a long time. Every Woman Has the Exact Love Life She Wants Sadly, some women don’t have the love life they want.They are abused physically, mentally, or emotionally by their partners, and no woman wants that kind of love life.Maybe some of these women have experiences in the past that made them believe they should tolerate the unjust treatment they get because that’s what they deserve.Someone must have instilled in their minds that it’s their fault it’s happening. Maybe that unhealthy relationship is their “homing instinct.” The same familiar environment they were raised in gives them, so it gives them comfort and security.Because the unfamiliar could be scary. Maybe they hope someday everything will get better.Maybe they’ve accepted their fate and stopped asking or looking for a change. Maybe that’s the way they love; unconditionally, blindly, totally. I’ve learned these from all the years of observing others and from personal experience. The quote, “Every woman has the exact love life she wants,” does not apply to everyone. At least not yet.Not until the woman lets go of that toxic person. Not unless she ends the abusive relationship. It’s a beautiful reminder, though. It’s a reality check. What you allow is what will continue.If you let yourself be the emotional punching bag or emergency fund of the person you chose, it will always be that way.Every woman has the exact love life she allows.So if you’re not in a relationship that makes you happy, and you don’t have a partner who appreciates, cherishes, and honors you, ask yourself...Is this really the love life I want?Hero imageThis post contains affiliate links so we'd get a commission if you purchase through the links at no additional cost to you.
Single Life 5 Ds Of Misconceptions People Have About The Single Life 12:17 PM You don’t need a significant other to lead a significant life. -Mandy Hale The Single Woman’s 30-Day Blogging Challenge Day 5: The biggest misconception you think people have about the single life When people find out that I'm still single, I get mixed reactions. Some would congratulate me and tell me to enjoy it while it lasts. That someday I'll find myself longing for the single bliss. Others would laugh and mock, and others still would feel sorry for me. Here's what most people think about the single life. 5 Ds Of Misconceptions People Have About The Single Life Doomed If you're single, you're doomed to be alone and unhappy forever. Ridiculous. Desperate You're delusional and is desperately waiting for the perfect man, for your knight in shining armor to rescue you. Rescuing is not needed if you're good with who you are. There's definitely no such thing as a perfect man and chivalry is sad to say nearing extinction. It's not about waiting for prince charming to come because life is not just about waiting for the person you exchange "i do's" with. That for me is desperation. Imagine dedicating your life waiting to get married. I bet you'll marry any pig who would profess his love to you if that's the case. Different (negative) If you're still single, something's wrong with you. Clearly, something's wrong with the one who assumes this. Distasteful Nobody wants you. Wrong. You just realize that it's a huge waste of time to entertain men who aren't interesting or whom you know are not really that serious. Why give them false hope if you don't want to have anything to do with them? Dull You live a very boring, lonely and empty life. Life's a choice. Even if you're married or sleeping around with 10 different partners, party every day or have 12 children, you will still feel lonely and empty if you choose to be. If you're single, you are treated like a freak because you're the odd one out. Like you're from a far away planet and your life and everything about you can never be understood by "normal" people like them. That's funny because whenever I speak with my friends who are either happily married, or single but obviously happy and satisfied, all they tell me is that I'm doing the right thing, I should never rush and that it's okay to stay single than "settle" for what's there or live up to other people's expectations. Those who wittingly say negative things about my status are those who are definitely and obviously not happy with their state---married or not. Those who are struggling with where they are and are desperate to get out of their situation. Ironic. It's true that some people hate you because they envy what they see in you, and perhaps in my case, it's being happy and contented with what I have and where I am. Maybe they were (or still are) desperate, lonely, unhappy and miserable when they were single. And maybe those who are still single who have the same misconception aren't as happy as I am now. Since majority gets married, the rest who doesn't are considered as outcasts. Like any other things, we all have our opinion about something. We may never understand why one chooses to do something but we're not asked to anyway. The least we can do is respect the other person's choice. I don't feel obliged to clear things out for those who don't understand but I hope someday, everyone will either respect each other or just let each other be. It's better that way.

Single Life Major What Ifs Of The Single 12:25 PM Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Live in the question. -Rainer Maria Rilke The Single Woman's 30-Day Blogging Challenge Day 4: Your biggest fear as a single person Sometimes I wish I'm as brave inside as the mask I put on for the world. Sadly, I'm not. I've got fears. Fear for my loved ones, fear of the unknown, fear of not being able to accomplish anything. Mostly, as a single person, I fear that I might get stuck. Don't get me wrong. I love my life (if I didn't I would have made a way to change it). It's just that I'm one of those little girls who dreamed of growing into the Proverbs wife and becoming a loving mother. Major What Ifs Of The Single What if it will take longer for my dreams to come to pass than my patience and faith can bear? What if the path prepared for me is not what I've always envisioned for myself? What if I couldn't hold on much longer? What if...? I know my time will come and I have learned to wait patiently and faithfully for God's timing, but there are just days when I...well, behave like a normal human being. I worry. I get discouraged. I get scared. Still, I carry on like a warrior in the battlefield; sweating profusely, trembling in fear, uncertain of each step I take. I've learned that if there's something I want to do, I will have to do it no matter how uncertain and scary it may be. Because courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is doing it afraid.

Single Life Moments When Being Single Is Really Awesome 8:12 AM Maybe we could be each other's soul mates. Then we could let men be just these great, nice guys to have fun with. -Sex and the City The Single Woman's 30-Day Blogging Challenge Day 3: Describe a moment or a day when being single was really awesome. The single life could be tough. It could get lonely and frustrating. But, it could be the best time of your life too. Moments When Being Single Is Really Awesome FREEDOM In making decisions While most people I know have their schedules and decisions tied up and dependent on their partner's/spouse's/kids' schedules, I am totally free to decide for myself. I love it that I am able to drop whatever I'm doing and pack my things and go out of town, see a movie or meet a friend with just one text or call. I'm free to wake up or sleep whenever I want to, work overtime without having the trouble of calling someone to move or cancel a scheduled date or appointment, go out and come home at any hour without considering another person's feelings or time, and just be where I want, when I want to, doing what I want. I moved and changed places a lot this past year. All the time, I only have myself to think about. Is the place convenient for me? Will I be comfortable? What's in it for me? Will I be able to save more and spend less? It's discovering what I need and want and who I really am in the process that makes it awesome being single. With finances I passed by this department store and saw the big SALE signs hanging all over the place. Without guilt and second thoughts, I shopped around to my heart's content. I pay my own bills so there's no one to consult when I want to buy something, no one to answer to when I go beyond my budget for the week (seldom happens), no infant milk, no diapers, no tuition fees or allowances, no "extra" in my budget. I know I'd get to that, so while I'm still free from it, I'd revel on having my income all to myself. In little things I admit that it gets lonely sometimes. But, if you are comfortable with where you are and you know exactly why you're there, you sleep blissfully every night. LEARNING PHASE I'm in a phase of my life where I'm like a sponge, absorbing everything I could learn and soaking myself up with the good things (by choice!). I go to seminars and conferences with my single friends, talk to different kinds of people and learn from them, seeing the world in their perspectives and learning that we all have our own battles. I think if I'm not single, I will have less time to do what I'm doing now since I'll have different priorities; taking care of my husband, kids, the household, paying bills, and whatnot. I will have a different focus and I might rarely have time to talk to other people aside from school teachers, baby sitters and fellow mommies exchanging mommy notes (something I look forward to though). WOUNDED HEALER Being not just single, but also someone with lots to share in the relationship area, I am able to speak words of encouragement and give my opinion or share my experience to my single friends who are going through the same hell and dilemma I went through before. Being single made me a better person. If that's not awesome I don't what is. BEAUTIFUL DILEMMA There's a beautiful dilemma in decision making when you're still single; where to take my lunch, what movie to see, what color of shoes to buy, where to spend my next vacation, who to meet this coming weekend. Being single is REALLY awesome because it brings a certain kind of freedom that all my married friends envy and never fail to remind me to be thankful for. They always tell me to enjoy this stage and to never hurry no matter what other people say because in time, no matter how much I want to, I will never bring this back. They envy even just the trivial things that come with being single that I often take for granted like sleeping in or staying up late. This will not last for long, so while I'm in it let me bask in the awesomeness that comes with being single. Gifs from Google images Hey, did you find this post helpful or entertaining?

Single Life When Being Single Really Sucks 8:09 AM There are times when being alone kicks hard and leaves you curled up in pain, gasping desperately for air. The Single Woman’s 30-Day Blogging Challenge Day 2: Describe a Moment When Being Single Really Sucked Being single is fun, but like many things, it has its downside. Let's get real. Let me be blunt about it. There are moments when being single really sucks. There are times when being alone kicks hard and leaves you curled up in pain, gasping desperately for air. When Being Single Really Sucked Looooong days There are really, really long days when you need someone to talk to or just listen to you rant away patiently, hold your hand and assure you that everything's going to be okay. Your friends are great to be around with, but you will always have this longing for something more intimate. A relationship that goes deeper than friendship could go. +1 I don't mind going solo and being surrounded by couples. I can't help it if my friends would bring a +1 in some of our get-together. I totally understand. But if I REALLY need to bring someone with me, although my list of friends are long, it's a little frustrating when I can't just pick one. It would have been easier if you've got this one permanent person you know you can automatically bring with you. Post-breakup drama I've had long term relationships. So each break up, no matter how long the relationship went is always bloody, always messy, always sucks. The adjustment period from having someone to turn to all the time, someone you regularly text, call, have meals with and go places with to having to deal with loneliness or being alone for the first time in a long time can really get to you. Being easily attached, adjusting from "having" to "losing" was really devastating for me. Holiday blues Holidays are mostly when people come home or get together with their loved ones. When you're alone during the holidays, yes there's nothing wrong about that. But sometimes, as human nature, you long to feel that you belong. You long to feel home with someone. Ridiculous comments It sucks when people poke fun at you like you're a freak without caring to know you have good reasons why you are single. It sucks to hear people make snide remarks and make you look desperate. We humans have this inexplicable, insatiable, unending need of having someone or something that can make us feel complete. We need to feel wanted, to hold and be held, to have someone to keep us warm when it gets a little cold, someone to fall asleep with, someone to start our day and have breakfast with, someone waiting to welcome us home after a long day, to make plans and do something unplanned with, someone to share our victory and pain with. We all have a desire to love and be loved. Life is a roller coaster ride; being single included. It has many ups and downs. It's one crazy ride. When I get to the "down" part I just remind myself that I'm not alone in this journey (though it really feels that way). I'm grateful that I wasn't born envious or jealous of others. I know how to find and create my own happiness. Being single is not for the faint of heart. Sometimes being single really sucks. But, we can't have rainbows without a little rain, right?

Faith A Poem About Waiting 1:07 AM And though oft My answers seem terribly late, My most precious answer of all is still...Wait. This poem was written by Russell Kelfer intended for a woman wanting to have a baby. But if you've been waiting, asking and hoping for something or someone, this poem will also speak to you. A Poem About Waiting Wait Russell Kelfer Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried; Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied. I plead and I wept for a clue to my fate . . . And the Master so gently said, "Wait." "Wait? you say wait?" my indignant reply. "Lord, I need answers, I need to know why! Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard? By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word. "My future and all to which I relate Hangs in the balance, and you tell me to wait? I'm needing a 'yes', a go-ahead sign, Or even a 'no' to which I can resign. "You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe, We need but to ask, and we shall receive. And Lord I've been asking, and this is my cry: I'm weary of asking! I need a reply." Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate, As my Master replied again, "Wait." So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut, And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting for what?" He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine . . . and He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign. I could shake the heavens and darken the sun. I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run. "I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.You'd have what you want, but you wouldn't know Me.You'd not know the depth of my love for each saint.You'd not know the power that I give to the faint. "You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair; You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there. You'd not know the joy of resting in Me When darkness and silence are all you can see. "You'd never experience the fullness of love When the peace of My spirit descends like a dove. You would know that I give, and I save, for a start, But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart. "The glow of my comfort late into the night, The faith that I give when you walk without sight. The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask From an infinite God who makes what you have last. "You'd never know, should your pain quickly flee,What it means that My grace is sufficient for thee. Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true, But, oh, the loss, if you missed what I'm doing in you. "So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see That the greatest of gifts is to truly know Me. And though oft My answers seem terribly late, My most precious answer of all is still . . . Wait."

Faith The 7 Fruits of Suffering 9:06 AM Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways. -Proverbs 20:30 The Seven Fruits of Suffering shared by Bo Sanchez on yesterday's Talk 2: Why Am I Suffering? From the series Your Toughest Questions Answered. The Seven Fruits of Suffering 1. Hunger. "The enemy of great success is small success." Success causes you to slow down, demotivate you and makes you content. You will no longer aim for a better life if you're comfortable living your good life. Suffering makes you hungry again, motivates you and propels you to greater success. 2. Harvest. When we suffer, we must pull away or walk away from our "bullies"; toxic people, stressful career, self-inflicted problems or bad habits or addictions that are affecting our lives so we can have a momentum. The greater the hunger, the greater the harvest. 3. Humility. There are two teachers in life---Teacher Trial and Teacher Triumph. Both are great teachers but Teacher Trial is more effective. When you suffer from trials you become teachable. Triumph makes you proud and so you're not open to what life teaches you. You learn more when you suffer because you're humble enough to accept the lessons that life presents. 4. Hardiness. You become more enduring and tougher when you suffer. There's a direct connection between the size of your comfort zone and the size of your success. The bigger your comfort zone the more successful you are, because you'll stretch out more to make your comfort zone wider. 5. Healing. You get wounds when you suffer, and these wounds turn into scars in time. Your scars can inspire others who are in the same situation that you used to be in. You become a wounded healer. 6. Holiness. There are times when there's nothing left for you to do but pray, even when you don't feel like praying. Personally, I'm glad we Catholics have memorized prayers. It came to a point when I don't know what to pray for anymore. I was all prayed up, I said. That's when I learned to appreciate the power of memorized prayers. It's an instant relief when you don't know what to do anymore. Suffering pushes you to converse more often with God. 7. Heaven. In all your sufferings on earth, you'll realize that your real happiness will only be in heaven. "Tough times don't last but tough people do." You will outlive all your problems. God is not a sadistic selfish God who sits on His throne and takes delight when He sees His people suffer. Our faith tells us that everything is part of His divine plan. All things are intended for our good. Let's focus on the prize and not on the obstacles. We all suffered (or are still suffering) at some point. The important thing to remember is not why we suffer but what we get after we suffer; what the fruit of our suffering will be. The big message: The greater the pull back, the greater the come back. If life is pulling you back and you feel like time is standing still, nothing is happening and your suffering seems endless, it just means that life is preparing you for a great come back. If God brought us to it, He will bring us through it. Hey, did you find this post helpful or entertaining? Please go ahead and share. Share buttons on the left and at the bottom of the article.

Music Music: Let Her Go (Passenger) 5:52 AM Let Her Go Passenger Well you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go And you let her go Staring at the bottom of your glass Hoping one day you'll make a dream last But dreams come slow and they go so fast You see her when you close your eyes Maybe one day you'll understand why Everything you touch surely dies But you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go Staring at the ceiling in the dark Same old empty feeling in your heart 'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast Well you see her when you fall asleep But never to touch and never to keep 'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep Well you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go And you let her go Oh oh oh no And you let her go Oh oh oh no Well you let her go 'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go 'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only hate the road when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go And you let her go Hey, did you find this post helpful or entertaining?

Faith I'm Singing In The Rain 11:14 PM You can sing "Rainy days and Mondays always get me down" or "I'm singing in the rain". I was complaining about the rain this morning when I realized there's so much to thank for. The glass is not only half empty. It's also half full. I love the tapping sound of rain on the rooftop. I love it that due to this rain, the temperature in our country dropped. For a change. I love that the other day I got stranded inside a bookstore and ended up buying a great book. I love how the sound of the rain calms me down. Two words: Bed weather. These simple things remind me of the great blessings I have. That I have roof over my head, that I can sleep better, that I'd get to read another chick lit with the sound of rain in the background. You can sulk or you can sing. As for me, I'm singing in the rain. Dancing too. Hey, did you find this post helpful or entertaining? Please go ahead and share. Share buttons on the left and at the bottom of the article.

Lux Thinking Aloud I Thank God For My Childhood 1:17 PM I Thank God For My Childhood Childhood. I have been thinking a lot about my childhood lately. I think it’s one of the inevitable signs of aging or part of the mid-life crisis. No matter, I thank God for my childhood. Throw-back Thursday, Flashback Fridays and the You-have-an-awesome-childhood-if-you-know-this posts I see in my newsfeed every day don't help. I miss the innocence of childhood, the curiosity that comes with childhood, childhood’s insatiable thirst for knowledge, the simplicity of life when you were a child. Ah, but we have to grow up, to grow old, to be boring adults. Most of us wish we could go back to our childhood when our only stumble blocks were our bully siblings or classmates, terrifying teachers, doing the chores and in my case, dizzying Math equations. Childhood for me means playing with my Barbie dolls and jackstones. Childhood means eating gigantic bars of chocolates my father would always bring home. My childhood was about watching children’s shows on T.V. or Disney movies. It was doing household chores reluctantly and eating veggies forcibly. The last two are tortures. Childhood means fear of crossing the streets. Childhood means being terrified when there’s a stranger at the gate and no one else is home. Oh, the fear! Childhood is when I thought the scrape on my knee was the most traumatizing thing I would ever face and a high fever would end my life. Childhood is when losing a pet is the only heartbreak I’d have to deal with. I missed out a lot during my childhood. My mother never allowed me to join the other children for Christmas carols or even attend the daily offering during Flores de Mayo in our village chapel. I was forbidden to play Chinese garter (apparently I was too fragile), I was never allowed to play with other children except for my siblings, cousins, and a very few childhood friends. I was never encouraged to try any kind of sports. These made me an introvert, and I now love being one. I’m not a loner. I just prefer smaller crowds, intimate gatherings and I enjoy my Me-time so much. Silence is my charger. Serenity is my booster. Our childhood is amazing. Whether we have had a happy childhood or not, it made us who we are today. I agree with Bo Sanchez. Our past does not define our future. However, it sure does affect our present in more ways than one. I may have suffered a lot during my childhood (middle child syndrome), but I believe that those exaggerated sufferings in my memory were nothing but a preparation for what I had and still might face in the real world. There were ups and downs in my childhood. There were heartbreaks (broken friendships, betrayals, rejections, death).Failures (Math!!!).Fears (frogs, crossing the street, the fear of being kidnapped---blame it on the media).Hardships (chores!).But, there were quick beach getaways too, new toys, ample supply of sweets, pretzels and cheese balls, games, the fun of dancing, and a lot more. Whenever I see children begging for food or working hard at an early age, I would pause and thank God for my childhood. Priceless childhood memories: 1. Dancing to any kind of music with my sibs and cousins. I have a picture of me and my cousin dancing in matching costumes in the living room. 2. Birthday parties. (Minus the games) 3. Going home to a fridge full of Mars Bars, Toblerone (all flavors), Twix, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger, Hershey's, M&M’s, Snickers, and boxes of Pretzels, Cheese Balls and other junk foods. I think I’ve had enough of junk food that I now prefer munching on healthy stuff. 4. Disney movies. 5. Playing with my Barbies. 6. Eating Milo and Nido powder 7. Message relay. It’s the only parlor game I was good at. I was a klutz. 8. Eating dirty ice cream, ice scramble, or fish balls after school. 9. Watching Cedie, Ang Munting Prinsipe---my all time favorite show in the morning. I even faked a fever once so I won’t miss an episode. I was that hooked. 10. Coloring books 11. Watching Jackie Chan movies, Voltes V (my cousin’s favorite shows), or Dragon Ball Z every afternoon. 12. Lining up with my cousins to kiss my uncle and get a penny in return. 13. Playing Duck Hunt and Super Mario on Nintendo. Yep, Nintendo. 14. Watching the much-anticipated Magandang Gabi Bayan on Halloween 15. Curly hair with bangs! 16. Playing pretend. 17. Climbing trees. 18. Eating Santol until my lips turn white. 19. Chasing chickens and running like crazy when they chase me back. 20. Running around with our dogs 21. Scribbling random names on paper. 22. Drawing stick figures or huge houses with a garden, a dog, and a cat, with the sun at the upper right corner of the paper and birds that were shaped like the letter M of McDonald's. 23. Eating the nectar of Santan. 24. Blowing bubbles. 25. An afternoon chat with my late Lola and drinking more than half of her Coke in a beer mug which, late have I realized was mixed with a bottle of beer. She got me started drinking and I had no idea. No wonder it tasted funny and she’s always giggling every time I gulp it down. Bottoms up! I thank God for my childhood. How about you? What's your favorite childhood memory?

Books Pag-ibig Ayon Sa Librong Para Kay B Ni Ricky Lee 12:45 PM Para Kay B ni Ricky Lee “Hindi mo pwedeng mahalin ang isang tao nang hindi mo minamahal ang hilaga, silangan, timog at kanluran ng kanyang paniniwala. Kapag nagmahal ka’y dapat mong tanggapin bawat letra ng kanyang birth certificate. Kasama na doon ang kanyang libag, utot at bad breath. Pero me limit. Pantay-pantay ang ibinibigay na karapatan sa lahat ng tao upang lumigaya, o masaktan, o magpakagago, pero kapag sumara na ang mga pinto, nawasak na ang mga puso, nawala na ang mga kaluluwa at ang bilang ay umabot na sa zero, goodbye na. Pero, the memory of that one great but broken love will still sustain you, tama nga na mas matindi ang mga alaala.” “Ang great love mo, hindi mo makakatuluyan. Ang makakatuluyan mo ay yung correct love.” “Samantalang sa tunay na buhay, pag nangyari, iyon na. Walang revision.” "Merong umiibig na habang nagtatagal ay lalong nawawalan ng IQ. Merong pag umibig ay napupundi ang 4 out of 5 senses, touch lang ang natitira. Merong ang tingin sa pag-ibig ay tali. Meron di makahakbang dahil sa pag-ibig at merong namang nakakalipad. Merong ang tingin sa pag-ibig ay hapunang walang sawsawan. Merong pag umibig ay nahaharap sa salamin, sarili ang sinasamba. Merong ang tingin sa pag-ibig ay parusa. Ang iba'y iibig sa hayop, dahil noong unang panahon ay mga hayop sila. Ang iba'y iibig sa mga bahay, kinikilig kapag hinahaplos ang barandilya, nalilibugan sa mga kisame, pinagnanasaan ang sahig. Patuloy silang mananakit sa mga babaing umiibig sa kanila dahil hindi nila kailanman malalaman ang puso nila ay gawa sa kahoy." "Pero merong isa sa lima, harangan man ng kulog, ng ganid, ng lindol, ng teknolohiya, mahahanap niya ang kanyang mahal. Siya lang ang magiging maligaya."

Health & Wellness Live Happy Live Healthy 9:41 AM Two things affect your health; what you feed your mouth and what you feed your mind. Live Happy, Live Healthy Trust More Worry kills. Stress is the number 1 killer in the world. Change your psychology; change your physiology. Stress is thoughts. The antidote for stress is to trust God. Forgive More You don’t have to forgive abruptly. You can make it a journey Especially if you've been hurt deeply. It’s okay to be angry because anger has a purpose. Anger is an expression of self-love. It is a part of the healing process. However, anger has an expiration date. If you hold anger too long in your heart, it can kill you. Forgiveness is the greatest cleanser and toxic remover in the world. Forgiveness should be a habit, because everyday you’re going to get hurt. Because everyday your defenses are down with people you love. Because you expect to receive love in return. Love More You need to prioritize love. Put love in your calendar. See to it that you spend more time with the people you love. A medical study shows people who lack strong social relationships increase their risk of early death by 50%. This is almost the same risk percentage as those who smoke 15 cigarettes every day. Divorced people end up with 20% more chronic health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer than happy married couples do. Being human, your greatest need is love. Expect More Live from glory to glory to glory. Laugh More Told that he had little chance of surviving, Norman Cousins, an American political journalist, author, professor, and world peace advocate developed a recovery program incorporating mega doses of Vitamin C, along with a positive attitude, love, faith, hope, and laughter induced by Marx Brothers films. "I made the joyous discovery that ten minutes of genuine belly laughter had an anesthetic effect and would give me at least two hours of pain-free sleep," he reported. "When the pain-killing effect of the laughter wore off, we would switch on the motion picture projector again and not infrequently, it would lead to another pain-free interval." Laughter is a deep human need, that’s why we tend to gravitate towards people who make us laugh. How to Laugh More: a. Smile often. You don’t need a reason to smile. b. Spend time with fun people. Get rid of the grouches. c. Watch comedy. d. Laugh at yourself. e. Count your blessings. Vacation More Women who did not go for a vacation have high risk of dying early by 8% Prayer is a vacation. Don’t postpone your vacation because you’ll never know how long you're going live. Take small inexpensive vacations. Serve More Never retire from serving without a title. A 30-year study was conducted among mothers. The healthiest of them are those who render volunteer works. Life is short no matter how long you live. Start living a healthy life now.
