Have a Better Life

By Lori D.

The most important decision you will make today – and every other day – is how you are going to feel. The only thing you can really control in life with any amount of certainty is yourself. This is one of the greatest powers you have. You cannot control your spouse, children, coworkers, just about any other living person on earth, or even the dog. Sometimes we don’t even really control ourselves very well, but hey, we are making progress on that every day.

So why not exercise your power to make decisions and decide to be happy today? I know, it sounds too easy, but that really is all there is to it. If your spouse wakes up cranky today don’t let that change your happy outlook. Give them their space to be cranky because that is what they have chosen for their day. Respect their choice but don’t let it change yours. Just let them go about their cranky morning and you get on with your happy day. If someone cuts you off in traffic don’t let it get to you. They might be someone else’s husband or wife that has decided they are going to be cranky today. They may be late for work. Their house may be on fire or they might just be a crappy driver. You just don’t know so don’t give them the authority to upset you. Decide to be happy today. Just because you have a stressful job, cranky infant, or high strung boss does not mean you don’t have the ultimate power to determine what you want for yourself today. Do not give up your power to decide. Decide to be happy today.

Issues that exist in someone else’s life cannot take priority in determining the outlook for your life today or any other day. You are a greater help to others if you have a calm and peaceful demeanor about you. You will feel calmer and more peaceful if you do not take other’s issues personally and simply decide you are going to be happy.

Make the incredibly powerful choice to be happy today and don’t let anyone or anything get in your way. If you feel the power of your choice slipping away take a few minutes for yourself to regroup. Simply find a place to be alone, take a deep breath, and remember you have this under control because it is up to you and you have made a decision. How you feel today is your choice. This is your day. Decide to be happy today.

Tell me, what challenges do you face that make it difficult for you to maintain your happiness throughout your day? How do you cope? How can we help you overcome these challenges?

This blog has been surprising me. Although it had a page rank of 3 in the past he then when down to PR 1 and now is a PR2. Alexa is also surprisingly low and it is below 380.000 now. I remember the day when it was a brand new blog with no posts at all such as the eyelash growth products blog.

I remember when I posted on a daily basis, sometimes more than once a day. I remember when sidebar links were a great source of income. I remember when sponsored posts where daily tasks. I miss those days.

Now blogs have changed, online marketing has changed and advertisement methods have changed.

Are blogs something with no future?

We all want to live in a healthy environment no matter the place where we are. Whether we live in the city, in a village or in a hotel we like to have everything clean and safe.

If we happen to be in hospital we also want to be in a healthy environment and keep infections away.

The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) fights everyday to keep patients away from infections in hospital environments. New technologies are searched non-stop to reduce the number of central line infection detected in hospitals.

One of the ways which transmits infections is through the IV tube. A cap (called green cap) was invented to prevent infections through the IV tube. This cap is filled with alcohol and it needs to be used in the IV ports to be effective.

Some hospitals already use the green caps but most don’t. Rising awareness to this issue is one of the objectives of the APIC. Hospital infections must be reduced and effective techniques should be used. Green caps is a solution that has to be taken into consideration. Since they are effective and reduce the infection risk then they need to be used.

The cold hard truth is that we are getting fatter and fatter every day, and most of the time we don’t realize it until it is too late. Looking on the bright side, though, making small changes in your eating habits can really add up. A small change made each day can yield big results down the road, especially if this change becomes a habit.

Here are some simple ideas you can test out to improve your health. Try to put one into practice each day and see where it takes you!

Option 1: Try a new vegetable you have never eaten before.

I’ve been eating tons of vegetables for years, and I still find new ones I haven’t tried yet! So if you’re not a huge vegetable fan, that means you have many, many opportunities to put this idea into action. Sooner or later, you’re bound to find one you actually enjoy!

Here are some vegetable ideas for you: alfalfa sprouts, anise, artichoke, asparagus, broccoli, brussels sprouts, calabrese, cauliflower, celery, chard, kale, lemon grass, onion, garlic, carrots, turnips, and water chestnuts.

Or, an even easier option is to browse the perimeter of your grocery store (or even better, local farm market) and grab any random vegetable that looks neat. Take it home, look up a serving suggestion online, and try it that evening!

Option 2: Go Vegetarian One Day Per Week

With all hype around the Paleo diet, I will probably be shunned for recommending you go a full day without meat. I do like the Paleo eating style, but unfortunately, most of the meat we eat is farm-raised at commercial establishments and would not be considered Paleo-friendly anyway!

Really, what this does is it forces you to consider adding a greater variety of foods into your diet, rather than relying on meat as a main source of calories. Cutting out meat for a day will open your eyes to other plant food options, such as beans, legumes, potatoes, yams, fruits, and of course, the vegetables I just mentioned.

Option 3: Avoid Soda For a Day!

By now, virtually everyone is aware of how detrimental soda (or “pop”) is to your health. But people are still gulping it down, perhaps guzzling a 2 liter each day!

If this describes you, I want you to try your best to cut out soda for a day. Replace it with ice water, tea, coffee, or Crystal Light powder. Any of those options will be a healthier choice. Even fruit juice with its high sugar content looks healthy next to a can of soda!

Option 4: Don’t rely on the vending machine.

If you regularly grab snacks out of the vending machine at work, why not pack a healthy snack each day? Or keep some healthier food options in your desk? It would be cheaper, healthier, and less hassle than walking to the vending machine and debating over the Kit-Kat and the Doritos for 10 minutes.

If you’re used to candy bars, you probably won’t switch to an apple right off the bat, but switching to a healthy granola, beef jerky, or mixed nuts is a good swap. This change might even increase your afternoon productivity!

Option 5: Actually eat a real breakfast.

I never tell anyone that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but if you ever have trouble snacking too much during the day, then I highly recommend eating a good, hearty breakfast.

I’m talking a real breakfast like eggs and bacon, oatmeal, fresh fruit, and/or protein smoothies. A ‘breakfast bar’ that is nothing but sugar won’t cut it. You want something high in protein with some fat, too, so you stay satiated throughout the day.

Making just one small change each day can make a big difference. I’m just asking you to give these a shot, one at a time, and see if you can stick with them. You don’t have to do anything radical; just replacing one bad habit with a good one can reap rewards for the rest of your life.

I really need to buy a new mattress but first I need to buy a new bed.

We have a 17 years old bedroom furniture that is already falling apart. The bed is already making a lot of noises when we sit or lay there, and some humidity damages are already visible. We that about waiting to replace the bed and buy a new mattress but the thing is our bed, which as I said before is 17 years old, has smaller dimensions than new beds. We could buy a custom mattress to fit our present bed but then it wouldn’t fit in our future bed.

So, there’s the dilemma. To buy a new bed, it will have bigger dimensions than our present bed therefore we will need a mattress. To buy a mattress now, it would be too small for a future bed.

We don’t want to spend money right now so, maybe we have to keep our mattress and out bed for a few more years, until things get better (if they get better…).
