Get Happy! 5 Strategies that Really Work

  “We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.” ― Carlos Castaneda   This is a very powerful quote that hit me hard.   Whether we’re happy or miserable falls on us. A large determinant in which way we go is our mind. Or more specifically, our thoughts.

Yes, I take my own ...

And ever since that sixth grade day, this tool has transformed my reaction to stress–thank goodness! You can do this anywhere at anytime and no one ...

Stress. Somehow the word alone creates tension. Yet not all stress is bad.
