Think About It

HappyGirl — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 05:26:34 +0000

When you are trying to accomplish something in your life you probably think about it before your jump in. Simply, you make a plan and then you execute that plan. But first you have spent quite a bit of time doing the planning. You have expanded your mind’s power to achieve this plan’s goal, whatever it may be. You have learned about yourself and your mind’s ability to process all the facts. You need to be very proud of yourself and how you have handled this project. You now know you can do wonders by training your mind to achieve its maximum potential. It is amazing what the power of your mind can produce. Think what you can do if you learn to train your mind to absorb all life has to offer. Do you remember people telling you “you can do anything if you just put your mind to”? Well, they are right. If you learn how to enhance your mind you can be a powerful presence and accomplish anything your heart desires.

Self Care and Positive Development II

HappyGirl — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 11:00:06 +0000

Self care and positive development, I believe, go hand in hand. If you are working on a self care plan you are already thinking differently and reacting differently. This new way of living for you is what I call positive development. While you were learning about whatever it was that was holding you back, you used that self care technique to realize positive development. You found the cause of your problem and now you are learning how to equip yourself with positive ways to handle it. Pat yourself on the back and yell YAHOO! Say a little prayer of thanks and remind yourself of the good work you have done. Your horse is now heading off into the sunset, and pretty soon you will be comin’ round the bend headed for the home stretch! Way to go!!!

Self Care and Positive Development I

Have you ever dreamed you were riding off into the sunset, and poof! you wake up and your horse is going the wrong way? That has happened to all of us at one time or another. That feeling of positive development is just not working for you right now, and you want to know why. Positive development in life is something that needs understanding and nurturing. Taking care of yourself, at first, sounds easy. “I take care of myself all day everyday” is probably what you say. But do you really? Self care is learning what you like or love about yourself and what you don’t like or love about yourself. Positive development comes when you get all that figured out. You may not want to give up control, you may not understand codependency, you may have anger issues or any number of other problems that are holding you back. Delve into that area that is troubling you and you will begin to think and act more positively. You will be “getting a grip” on it!

Positive development gives us a feeling of self worth, it is caring and compassionate behaviors, it is confidence and it is wonderful!!!!!

Amazing Mind Power

HappyGirl — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 11:00:16 +0000

Subconsciously our minds let us see what we want our lives to be like. The mind is a unbelievable tool! This powerful tool helps us as we move through our world by letting our circumstances dictate how our minds will react to them. I am sure you know people who are always negative. Could this be because all they think of about is the negativity in the world, while positive people see the positive things their world has to offer.

Behind this mind power is the way to train your mind to achieve what you want out of life and to adjust to the world around you in ways you have only dreamed of before. You can make your dreams come true!

Want a Second Chance?

HappyGirl — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 11:00:02 +0000

Sometimes do you wish you could have a second chance romance with your ex? If you are one who does want another chance, you must learn the dos and don’ts of getting back with you ex. First thing, I think, is to figure out why you broke up. This won’t happen overnight, your emotions may be at an all time low and you may need to dig yourself out of your depression before you can tackle the reasons for this breakup. Once you understand what the problems were in your relationship with your ex, you can begin to rectify them. Of course, it takes two to tango, but I believe you can do it!!

I believe you will become a person with a true understanding of love. I wish you happiness and serenity!!!

Flirting 101!

HappyGirl — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:00:35 +0000

Flirting is a good-natured way to get to know someone who has piqued your interest. Let’s say you are at a party and there is someone there you would like to meet. So you begin to flirt. In the dictionary, one meaning for flirt is to “play at love”. So when flirting be sure to smile and use your eyes to convey your interest. This is a great way to find out if this someone is also interested. If you get a response in return, go and introduce yourself. Once you have made the introductions, body language and your witty personality will help you get to know this person better.

Wit, not sarcasm, is a very attractive trait. Leaning in to talk to him and listening to what he is saying are excellent ways to hold the interest of this person. You are showing that you care what he says. Flirting is a very powerful way to get to know someone better. These flirting tips can also apply to men!!!

Train your Mind!

HappyGirl — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 11:00:30 +0000

We have all heard about positive thinking, the ability to communicate our feelings in an optimistic way, always seeing the good side of things, finding something positive in the negatives. Mind power is similar in some ways, yet so more enlightening in other ways. Training your mind to better communicate with your brain is quite thought provoking in itself.

Learning your mind’s full potential sounds quite interesting. Mind power training could also mean learning how to unlock millions of ideas you have had and not acted on, perhaps attain goals you have set for yourself, or help you become a healthier person physically and mentally. Who knows what all the mind can do? But it is intriquing.

Time for Marriage Counseling?

HappyGirl — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 07:53:16 +0000

Some times problems just can’t be solved without help from a qualified counselor. Someone who is objective and can act as a mediator at times. Your spouse is acting differently and you want to know why. You may have tried talking to your spouse about your concerns and the response is “Why do you think that?” or ” Why would you say that?”. You try to explain, but can’t get your point across to her/him. What do you do? You go to marriage counseling.

Marriage counseling strategies will help you learn how to communicate with each other and deal with the pressures of marriage.

Mending A Broken Heart

HappyGirl — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:00:16 +0000

“How can you mend a broken heart…”? as the Bee Gees sang so long ago. I am not sure they came up with an answer, but I am sure it wasn’t the wave of a magic wand. No magic, witchcraft or sorcery will help those who are hurting and suffering from a relationship that has ended. It will take time and energy to recover from this aching pain. Broken hearts will mend with the self care you give to yourself while you are learning to live without your partner.

As someone once said “time may be a great healer, but it is a lousy beautician”. Taken at face value, this could mean it will take some time to weather this storm and you probably won’t look too pretty doing it!! But that’s okay! Lean on those you love and with strength and patience you can overcome this.
