Self care anywhere
Recently, I've noticed four quick to implement self care strategy
themes that keep recurring (or I keep noticing) in a variety of sources.
Whether you're working "The Secret," seeking wisdom from Louise Hay, working on your Sincero "Badass," becoming an "Available Parent," or striving for a "Four Hour Work Week" these are common nuggets of advice that one can take action on in the moment, at any time and in any place.
- Find something, anything, about which you can be grateful.
- Stay in the present moment, in lieu of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
- Believe that you can achieve your goals.
- Breathe. Breathe in. Exhale. Repeat.

Happy people embrace impermanence
In the article "7 Habits Happy People Have (But Never Talk About)" they mention that among other things, happy people embrace impermanence.
Happy people recognize life is a balancing act between holding on and letting go — and they're comfortable releasing things that no longer serve them.
Holding on and letting go. Push pull. Contract relax. Yin and Yang. Life is definitely a balancing act!

How confident are you?
Interesting read over at Medical Daily. Apparently overconfidence may be a result of social politeness.

The road to happiness
"The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it put your whole soul into it-every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have."

Happiness: have meaningful goals
Rule number four, from the article 10 Things Science Says Will Make You Happy , is to have meaningful goals.
Harvard’s resident happiness professor, Tal Ben-Shahar, agrees, “Happiness lies at the intersection between pleasure and meaning. Whether at work or at home, the goal is to engage in activities that are both personally significant and enjoyable.”
