Be Happy, Beat the Worry

Tips on keeping yourself from worrying too much and learning to embrace the goodness of life.

How about loosening up and just enjoy every moment of being alive? How about not giving in to worries but instead embrace the beauty of every challenge and every circumstances? Afterall, nothing stays the same forever right? So quit worrying and just live.

Stop worrying about what people think of you, keep this in mind: your business is not theirs as their business is not yours. So how people see you or think about you is none of your business, but it’s your business not to care about what they have to say. .. duh, you know yourself better than anyone else. 

Here are some simple tips you can do, to keep you from worrying too much:

Have some Green Tea

Feeling a bit down? Have some Green Tea. Instead of coffee its good to drink green tea at least twice a week to rejuvenate and feel relaxed. Compared to Coffee? Green Tea is much better as it is rich in flavonoids.

According to Douglas Balentine, Director of Nutrition Sciences in North America, in his presentation during the annual American Dietetic Association's Food and Nurtition Conference and Expo in 2005, while he discuss the benefits of flavonoids to our health, he said that "Several studies have found that drinking tea may be good for the heart due to power of flavonoid antioxidants which is found in tea" he also added that "drinking a cup of tea a day - hot or cold, black or green will nearly double their current intake of flavoinoid."

Moving Forward, It's Everyday Happy

It's Everyday Happy... let's juice up! :)

Welcome to Everyday Happy! 

Sometimes, I am really crazy; I do things in an impulse. One moment I am okay with things and the next thing you know I just turned the entire house around. But it doesn’t really happen much often. It only happens when I seem to want to change things.

And so today, that spontaneous moment hit me once again, and I basically changed everything about my old blog and reinvent it into something new. I got tired of “red” the color, the notion, etc. I suddenly wanted to try a whole new environment.

Inspiring Bits and Pieces from Francis Kong

I finally finished reading the last pages of Francis Kong's Three Little Words. Great book to keep you going, here are the Random Inspiring things you might want to go through some are indeed hilarious:

(1) the most important thing in this world is not things, but relationships... people. --Tenessee William's "Something by Tolstoy" (how one's ambition can make us lose touch of who we are and our heart's desire - it’s a sad but one great story to learn from); 

(2) It’s not about how strong you start, but how well you finished; 

(3)The race for quality has no finish line;

(4)Nice guys may appear to finish last, but they’re usually running a different race; 

Book Club: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Thinking of a book club? I am. Currently organizing a book club, and Inviting close friends and colleagues for a start, it’s pretty cool way to keep the adrenaline rush I guess, keeping that juice flowing. I was looking for books to create interesting thoughts among ourselves. And since I always admire Jane Austen’s style in writing, I decided to start with her book: Pride and Prejudice. Perhaps, it was transformed into a television drama and eventually a movie, because of its very interesting story in which I look forward to be discussing with my friends.

The Psychic Connection

Why is it that “Psychic Connection” is strong when you feel for someone? Is there really such a thing or it is just an assumption because we thought we know someone too much? Does your thoughts really meet together? If one misses the other, does the other feel it too?

Psychic Connection. (n.) deep understanding; understanding each other without speaking. (source: Englishbaby.com)
