Accept Yourself

Do you think being five feet and 100 pounds is fat or skinny. Five-seven and 130 pounds? Well what about six feet and 190 pounds? Whether you consider those numbers skinny or fat it doesn’t matter. We shouldn’t worry about what the number is when you look down at the scale. You can be happy and not constantly worry about how much you weigh or even how you look. You should be happy with the way you are.

Bring happiness into your life with these tips from the Dalai Lama

http://life-balanced.net/2007/11/10/b...

Whenever someone poses the question, “If you could have dinner with anyone in the world, who would it be?” I always choose the Dalai Lama. I read one of his books during a four week trip to Nepal about seven years ago. His words resonated with me and also piqued my interest in Buddhism.

10 Surefire Ways to Kill Your Crabby Mood - Dumb Little Man

http://www.dumblittleman.com/2007/10/...

Having a happy day is well within your reach even if you are feeling totally down in the dumps. Being happy is a choice and there are things you can do to make it happen. Just like when you feel a decrease in energy, the best thing to do is to get your body moving - the same thing is true with cultivating happiness. You must literally pick yourself up and get moving on some actions that will create happiness. 1. Fight the Urge to Mope. Get committed. This is the first step. Do you want to be happy or do you want to wallow in bad feelings? When you're ready to be happy, just make the choice and go with it. 2. Smile. Smile at everyone you meet today. It's OK to fake it at first if you need to, but pretty soon it will be real and it will make you feel good. As you feel yourself becoming happy, remember not to fight it! 3. Laugh. Tell some jokes. Seek out jokes, funny people, and funny videos. Be silly. Crack yourself up. Just start laughing. That alone can make you laugh. And when you laugh you release your body's own natural opiates: endorphins which make you feel good. Here is a link to more info on Laughing Yoga where all you do is laugh! check the link to read more!

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Having one of those days? How about one of those weeks? This happens to all of us 
constantly it seems in today's fast paced world! But, you know what you do when life 
gives you lemons? Bake cookies! I've found that by the time the batch is finished, I 
actually do feel better! Bake cookies for yourself, or for anyone you love, with my 
favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe:

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs (organic, are best, of course!)
¾ cup organic butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup organic cane sugar
½ cup packed organic brown sugar
2 cups organic milk chocolate chips
2 organic cups organic all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

Place dry ingredients into a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine ¾ cup of butter, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Beat until creamy.
Add to dry mixture.
Drop by tablespoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet
Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and enjoy!

Vegetarians and Vegans may easily replace 2 eggs with 2 cups soy milk and ¾ cup butter with any soy butter (I recommend Eearthlite Soy Garden!)
