12 Ways To Achieve A Happy And Successful Marriage

Life's Journey and Reflections

How do you create a happy and successful marriage? Have you had, or are you having marital problems? Can you count them? Or are there too many?

One, two, three, five or ten. Do you recall how you dealt with them?

Well, there’s more than one way to skin a cat, right?

Do you worry that you wish you hadn’t gotten married? Do you feel resentment toward the person you married? Do you regret the vows you undertook to be with each other forever?

Problems in any relationship are normal. Worrying about them isn’t going to help – dealing with them in the right way, will.

Remember that in life, there are problems that we need to resolve every day. And when it comes to relationships, we need to use tact and subtlety.

So it is with a marriage. You need to discover ways to manage discord in your relationship…

Britt Skrabanek

When was the last time you really asked yourself: How are you doing? Not in the same way you throw around “how are you doing?” as a glorified greeting in everyday conversations.

You’ve worn out the question that way, like all the rest of us. Over the years “how are you doing?” lost its true sense of care and curiosity, becoming as numb as the canned responses to that rhetorical question…

• I’m good.
• Fine. And, how are you?
• Doing great. Busy, but great.

Most of the time we don’t give ourselves a chance to answer the rhetorical “how are you doing?” because we never ask it. Instead, we focus on a very different question: What are you doing?

Worry, Doubt And Fear Is A Program That Leads To Anxiety, Depression and Illness

http://www.mindmindpower.wordpress.com

Ideas and Advice for How To Live a Joyful and Empowered Life.

Living in fear, doubt and worry leads to anxiety, then to depression, then to physical sickness.

Being in the present moment and focusing on gratitude, dreams and goals have helped me cure anxiety and depression, and I’ve read living this way has cured mental and physical sickness in others.

To imagine living in a world where everyone was kind and lived like this, it seems would be the answer to many problems that are going on in the world.

When we worry, doubt and fear, it creates stress in our bodies and our bodies then create cells and hormones that cause sickness. Worry and fear are mental sicknesses.

The more we worry, doubt and fear, the more it is embedded into us.

We can change that by intentionally choosing what to think about. Being present and noticing what’s going on around us helps stop all the negative worried thinking. Take…

Do you HumbleBrag?

A Better Man

Whether it’s telling our friends about our accomplishments, sharing that we’ve bought a new [insert gadget of choice here], or boasting about our children’s talents, we’ve all bragged at one time or another. We feel good when we share our successes or the successes of those we love. In fact, a paper published in 2012 by two Harvard neuroscientists said that talking about ourselves gives us the same kind of pleasure we get from sex or food.

And yet…who wants to be known as a braggart? Enter the humblebrag (a term coined by comedian and Parks and Recreation writer/producer Harris Wittels), the kind of post on Facebook or Twitter that tells the world how great your life is, then downplays it under the guise of humility or self-deprecating humor (Ack! Just spilled red wine on my new book contract! #bumblingthroughlife). Ironically, that attempt at minimizing big news can actually work…
