Life is filled with peaks and valleys, twists and turns, and unexpected moments. There are so many events that shape our experience and sense of well-being.

March is National Optimism Month, emphasizing the belief in positive outcomes which significantly influences both mental and physical health. Positive thinking is linked to stronger immune systems, heart health, stress management, quicker recoveries, and even a longer lifespan. Additionally, optimists tend to exercise more, eat healthier, and handle pain and stress better, leading to an increased sense of well-being and resilience. Embracing and spreading optimism can also heighten happiness, self-esteem, and social connections, overall promoting a vibrant life.
Happiness is a state of being and a common goal that we all strive for in our lives. At the same time, the nature of happiness is subjective to each person. We each have our own unique priorities, preferences and thoughts regarding the nature of personal fulfillment. So, while happiness is a common goal, what […]

In the humdrum of our everyday routines, it’s easy to become a creature of habit. But shaking things up and trying something new can feel like a refreshing splash of cold water. It’s a great way to improve your mental health and well-being. And it can help also you not only cope better with the […]
It may start to creep up on us in September. By mid-October it’s in full swing. By the time we get to February, we’re pulling our hair out, and it becomes the longest month even though it only has 28 or 29 days. For many, there’s much more to it than a down mood. Some […]
I have a friend who once said to me, “Regret is a useless emotion.” She may have been right. But regardless of how well regret serves us, it can certainly be powerful. Most of us will experience regret at one time or another. When we do, it can be almost impossible to shake. Our brains […]
We’re all naturally inclined to develop habits. And we can tap into this natural tendency to help us to be kind to ourselves. Since we need to be kind to ourselves to be genuinely kind to others, this is pretty important to take advantage of. Here’s how to use habits to overcome negative self-talk today. […]
If you’re like many of us, you may feel a bit lost, or unfulfilled, at least from time to time. You may be successful in your career or personal life, but still feel like that there is something missing. Something that would take your life satisfaction to the next level. It’s hard to put your […]
Are you feeling lost or uncertain about your life’s purpose? Do you want to clarify your values and develop goals that will help you to create a more meaningful life? A personal mission statement can help you achieve these aspirations. You may be more familiar with mission statements developed by organizations or companies. Corporations formulate […]
Many of us suffer from chronic anxiety. Those challenged by this condition find themselves in a resting state of high alert. Pretty much always on edge, “waiting for the other shoe to drop,” we jump higher than most at sudden noises. And we spend much of our time worrying or in a state of rumination. It’s […]

Sometimes, making a mistake can have dire consequences. A doctor must choose the best procedure for a patient and execute it flawlessly. Engineers must develop cars without defects. Architects must design buildings that will not fall down. These things we know. But there are other situations when doing something wrong is actually a sign that […]
When you find your passion in life it allows you to become fully present and fulfilled. Ideally, we identify our passion in life early. But sometimes, we don’t figure things out until much later. No matter what your age, if you haven’t found your passion yet, it’s time to give it a try. Doing so […]
I’ve come across many articles lately about solitude and loneliness, and the differences between the two. It’s interesting that we can be so lonely even when we’re with others. Or how we can be lonely, yet still crave the peace only found in solitude. One piece I read described people today as having the common […]
Most of my days are shaped by the many chores, errands and tasks that appear on my to-do list. It’s overwhelming, in fact, how many things there are to remember, keep track of, and find the energy to do. But it’s a great feeling when we get to check things off the list, isn’t it? […]
We make so many decisions, all day, every day. Our brains call upon us to make choice after choice, often in a snap. To rise or hit the snooze? Shower or exercise? What should we wear? Eat breakfast or skip it? And these are the easy ones. Just think how much better our lives would […]
We all want to be happy. Sometimes as we seek it, we forget how powerful we are. We can choose to be brave. That's important. Because courage and happiness are closely connected.
You read that correctly. There’s no denying, having work-life balance can be important to happiness and well-being. But I’ve never liked the term “work-life balance” or the things that phrase implies. It makes it sound like we only live when we are not working. And that work is not an integral part of our existence, […]
Many strategies to boost happiness encourage us to “let go”. The message is often that we should let go of negative emotions like anger, resentment, pain and hurt. But letting go of any feeling is challenging for most of us. We often have a particularly hard time when we try to let go of the […]
Back in high school science, we were presented with a kind of riddle. We were given a range of materials to use and were asked to attempt to fill a jar to its absolute fullest potential. The gist of the assignment was, given the materials we had, which included rocks, pebbles, sand and water, how […]
We have talked before about how doing new things helps boost happiness. Those with an innate sense of curiosity are usually those most likely to try new things. It’s interesting that curiosity leads us to explore things that are unknown to us. Not only does curiosity prompt us to venture into uncharted waters; in some […]
I’ve studied wellness and have read oodles of psychology, motivational and self-help books. I’ve experimented with well-being and wellness tactics and strategies and explored various approaches with colleagues and friends. Based on what I’ve learned, I’ve come up with a recipe that I call the “Secret Sauce” for well-being. It includes 7 basic ingredients we […]
