A Laugh A Day Keeps The Doctor Away
After giving birth to my son I was placed in a room with 2 other young women. One could not hold her baby due the baby being born with complications. The other one ate too soon and her bowels locked up. Needless to say both women were down in the dumps. They would watch me when I held and fed my newborn and I could tell that they felt bad and a little envious.
One day as I was holding my baby a nurse came in and screamed when she saw that I had let my newborn slide down into my arms to the point that only his little head and feet were showing. When I looked down to see what she was screaming about and she loudly proclaimed “your poor little baby, what are you doing too him” I burst out laughing and couldn’t stop.
Her exaggerated tone along with my poor little newborn baby and my embarrassment just struck me a ludicrously funny. The other two women in the room whom only spoke Spanish caught the laughing bug as well and saw the humor in the situation even though they didn’t speak English. They both started laughing and we all laughed together for several minutes. After that when ever I saw that nurse I burst out laughing.
That laughing episode seemed to release the tension in our room and advanced all of our healing. We all recovered and were able to leave soon after. Laughter was the boost that we all needed to heal.
Laughing is a powerful antidote and is beneficial on many levels. Socially it enhances teamwork and strengthens relationships. Mentally it relieves stress and improves moods, and physically it boosts immunity and decreases pain. Humor literally allows a person too lighten up, allowing them to get out of their head and more in the moment.
When a person is in the moment they allow themselves to more deeply engage with those around them. And to connect with fellow humans is healing. Smiling is the beginning of laughter and laugher is contagious. So start with a smile – and see where it leads. A smile a day will keep the doctor away.

Happy Aquarium – Getting All The Achievements
Like any good video game, Happy Aquarium has a lot of fun diversions that allow you to engage with different aspects of game play on a competitive level. One of the more fun ways to do this is with Happy Aquarium achievements – the small medals you get for completing high level tasks that other players will look at with awe. You’ll find in many cases that the quick route to Level 40 is littered with things you can do that will reward you for your efforts – from mating to training to spending extra coins on all sorts of items for your tanks. Here are some tips to landing those elusive Happy Aquarium achievements.
What Happy Aquarium Achievements Are There?
There are currently twelve different achievements in Happy Aquarium that you can collect. Each achievement has four different levels – bronze, silver, gold, and star. These come in the forms of medals that you can collect and show off to your fellow players if you know where to put them. Many of these medals are relatively easy to get.
Most of them relate to just spending you coins. You’ll get medals for buying items for your tank, buying fish, buying different kinds of fish, buying gifts for friends and so on. You will also gain medals by mating your fish, training your fish, rescuing turtles and squid, and getting different kinds of fish up to adulthood. Basically, everything you already do in the game will be rewarded, but you have to do it all a LOT to get the medals for it.
Getting All the Happy Aquarium Achievements Quickly
To get the first level of achievements – the bronze accomplishment – you don’t need to do very much. Most bronze requirements can be reached before you hit level 10. However, the silver and beyond get much harder and the star level still has not been cracked by most players. So, you’ll need to be very dedicated and be able to complete as many tasks as possible each day when you login to the game.
If you’re interested in getting a large number of Happy Aquarium achievements, make sure you spend a great deal of time focusing on all of the aspects of the game. If you just buy and sell the same fish, you’ll never get the collection and mating achievements that should be relatively easy to snag. So, instead of lasering in, make sure to have some variety, getting as many fish as you can, mating them when you can and getting them all to adulthood without forgetting to feed them. You’d be surprised how fast you can get all the achievements you need.
Lastly, if you are interested to know more happy aquarium tips such as leveling, getting more coins and pearls, visit here to find out more!

Show Off A Killer Sense Of Humor
The best leaders keep the world in perspective. They see the bright side of things. They can find humor in most circumstances. They can laugh at the absurdity life often offers. Humor eases tension and takes the bite out of tough situations.
A sense of humor draws followers to the leader. It helps followers feel safe and energizes and activates their minds. Humor also plays a larger role as an essential element of effective living. Health professionals agree that those with a sense of humor have a greater sense of being and belonging. That feeling gets communicated and creates the rapport that attracts others to the leader. Some people say that humor must be limited within the serious business of work. Yet people laugh most often about the things that are most serious to them. Think of all the jokes you have heard about money, taxes, and even death.
Stay within your style and focus on topics that delight you. This means overcoming the limiting belief that “I’m not funny.” Everyone gets a tickle out of something. For example, bring to mind the somber image of Alan Greenspan. Imagine him saying, “Inflation is what lets you live in a more expensive neighborhood without having to move.” Share what tickles you and let people see your sense of humor. Don’t worry about never getting jokes, not remembering funny stories, or not spinning a good yarn.
You don’t have to tell jokes to demonstrate your sense of humor. You do not have to try to be funny. You do not have to be a great raconteur. Just talk about topics that interest you and reveal your sense of playfulness. I knew a corporate attorney who everyone thought had absolutely no sense of humor. I found out the attorney was an avid Red Sox baseball fan. Since I enjoy baseball too, I asked him about the Red Sox once. He went on for twenty minutes about his love for the team. Several of his comments were about humorous incidents at Red Sox games. I laughed loud and hard at some of his comments.
Respond to others’ quips and cleverness. Your sense of humor is conveyed when you engage other people and react to them. Simply restating what someone else said, with a different tone or with a link to another idea, can cause a chuckle or create a second round of humor. What if your attempt at humor bombs? Acknowledge the bomb. Have at hand a few ready-made recovery lines to stop the flop. George H. Bush certainly never created the impression that he was one of American polities’ stand-up funny-men. Yet he demonstrated a good sense of humor when he flubbed a line during his 1988 presidential campaign. Bush said, “We’ve had triumphs. We’ve made mistakes. We’ve had sex.” “Sex” was the tongue-tied replacement for “setbacks.” Bush recovered easily from his flub by saying, “I feel like the javelin thrower who won the toss and elected to receive.” When you do bomb, and everyone does, say or do something rather than try to ignore the bomb.

Positive Thinking and Manifesting Your Life!
Positive thinking is a psychological behavior that assumes excellent outcomes through goal setting. Positive thinking is an interesting topic because a lot of people talk about it but only a few people are successful. It is a mental attitude you must practice daily. Your attitude will not change overnight. You will have to learn to read a lot about positive thinking type books and be persistent to change how you think. Remember the ways you think did not just happen; you were conditioned to this way of thinking. You were not born with a bad attitude and self defeating thoughts.
To manifest anything in your life you have to have a positive outlook about your life. Positive thinking is key. It is something that will allow you to change negatives into positives. It is about transforming ourselves from a pessimist to an optimist. Negative thoughts cause us to notice problems and sabotage our thoughts. Negative thinking will get you what you think about just as well as positive thinking to. So change from a pessimist into an optimist. Optimists tend to lead much happier, healthier lives.
Positive thinking is how you create your desired reality, wealth, your soul mate health and whatever else you would wish to attract into your life. It is very powerful and is conducive to growth, self development and your success in life. It is an attitude. It is much more than a mental process that can have fabulous effects on your life. It is a constructive way of thinking. Positive thinking is tied to your true happiness and manifesting your dreams. You have to work at it everyday and it is not about becoming detached from reality. A positive attitude has become a worldwide epidemic from weight loss to the corporate world as well.
When you think positive you will be able to control your mind. The mind is like a sponge and will accept statements as reality. If you keep repeating to yourself that you are lacking you will soon begin to accept these thoughts as truth and your mind and body will soon feel the affects of these thoughts or statements. They will soon begin to embed themselves into your sub-conscious and it will become your reality in life.
Hypnotists use these types of suggestions to hypnotize people. They continue to make statements in such a way that the receiver of these suggestions begins to accept them as real. When you begin to practice positive thinking you will be doing much of the same thing as a hypnotist. Your mind has the capability to absorb these thoughts, images and statements many times through out the day. You may not even think twice about it. Positive thinking is a state of mind, a way of life.
Thinking in this way will also help with keeping stress under control. Medical research has proven that a positive attitude has a huge affect on your life and how you recover from illness. Science has been studying how a positive attitude can relate to health for the benefits of preventive care and for the recovery process after surgery. They are finding that people with a positive out look on life have to see doctors less often and live longer healthier lives. A positive attitude certainly is a requirement for long term health and longevity in this lifetime.
Thinking positive all the time can be quite tricky because of the way society is and certainly in these times that we are living in now. With all that is going on around us it very difficult to keep a positive outlook on life. The trick is to limit what you accept as your reality. If you notice I did not say reality but your reality.
When you begin to have a positive attitude it can be very influential on everyone and everything around you. It is an attitude that is contagious. This type of attitude can affect our lives and what we manifest into our reality. Positive thinking is just another term for having faith. Manifesting your reality is nothing more than having faith in yourself and what it is you want to happen in your life.
Manifesting is like riding a bike. We had faith in ourselves that we could do it. You have to really want it to happen, you have to have faith. It is a great tool for turning thoughts and emotions into reality. Manifesting is hard for our conscious minds to accept because of our outdated beliefs, are child hood up bringing or both. It cannot be done without positive thinking or faith in this ability.
Manifesting is the development of our souls and into a divine being which we were all born to be able to do. It is our birthright. When we were children we would daydream about whatever we wanted in our lives. As time went on we were told by our parents or society that we can not do this or that and we began to believe this and it is now are reality. We need to learn and teach ourselves how to manifest our lives all over again just like a child would daydream. This is done through positive thinking, faith and a great attitude about our life.
Make positive thinking a habit and you will soon see some very wonderful changes in your life. Take charge of your reality, the reality around you and your thoughts. True positive thinking can help us manifest the life we have always dreamed of by destroying any self doubt we may have. Repeat thoughts like “I was born for greatness” and read books about positive thinking or take a course. The main thing is to just get started and quit procrastinating. Learn to enjoy your life.
