6 Questions to Reconnect You to the Good You Forgot (and Make You Thankful Again)

It is said that we can retain only four pieces of information active in our conscious working memory at one time. With the 50,000 plus thoughts running through our brain each day, and many of those negative, it’s a challenge to remember the things good we have to be thankful for.

Life’s problems and challenges can start weighing you down pretty quickly. This is why the daily habit of pausing to recall at least three things we’re grateful for has such a powerful effect on our happiness and wellbeing.

How To Stop Struggling To Reach Your Goals

It would be better for you to close this tab and forget about this video, if you are only here because I’m posting it. Actually, now that I think about it, why should I post this video?

6 Keys to Living Fully Before You Die

My earliest encounter with the death of a friend was when an “uncle” I’d grown up around, lost his battle with cancer. I didn’t get to see him but I remember the feeling of insecurity it gave me in my preteen years.

A few years later, I literally came face to face with death, when we had to put our dog, Spots, down after a car accident. Watching the life drain from his trusting eyes, as I held his head in my hands, was not something I was prepared for. Every time I remember that day, I am unable to shake the deep sadness that floods over me.

How To Challenge Your Problem and Stop Feeling Stuck In Life

Sometimes family presents us with incredible joy and sometimes we just feel stuck and in pain. Do you have a marriage situation you just can’t get out of, or are you nursing a child through an illness you just can’t beat? No one enjoys feeling stuck in life.

I remember sharing a video about a woman who lost her legs to a sudden disease. Stories like that, where a person comes through and has an amazing life, in spite of circumstances can be inspiring, but what about our own situations? – Less extreme? Perhaps, but just as challenging and possibly even more painful to live with.

What Moves You To Give a Hoot?

Have you been told, “You have to give”? The religion I grew up with was very emphatic about it. You’ve probably heard it has to be a certain percentage of your income and that, if you don’t give, God will not bless you.

Sometimes those asking for your money or your time are not deserving of it. And there are those that definitely take unfair advantage of this, but at the same time you will find that the need to give or contribute in some way to others is a need you have deep inside. Discover what moves you to give and give from your heart.

Relationship Advice You Probably Think You Don’t Want Now

How did you feel when you got dumped? It’s a strange experience and the mess it makes in our brain chemistry is no joke. Though we may not like it and there is definitely no way to reliably prevent it, we may be able to smoothly ride out something as tragic as a divorce.

Why Being Okay Is Actually Destroying Your Personal-Growth

Being okay with our bodies is a big topic these days. Have you seen the posts with beautiful overweight women? In some cases they are praised for having strong self-esteem and being proud of the their natural body.

I think that is great and for most part it leads to happier people and happier relationships. As a matter personal taste I prefer women with a few curves over the thin and “perfect” types. However, could there be a downside to this blanket optimism?
