Everyone of us gets lonesome at times, and we need some help from others to cope with loneliness. If you know you've got a lonely friend, here's how to help them.
*You can invite them to dine and watch movies. A lonely friend will sometimes avoid discussing loneliness with others, that's why you are there--as the friend. Going out to a movie, concert, art exhibit etc. will have you something to talk about over dinner.
*Don't leave her alone--yet. Okay, so maybe inviting her to a party can be a cool idea, but don't leave her by herself at the sea of strangers.

A smile on a person's face is more than just signifying joy or "glad-to-meet-you" mode. As much as it is commonly used in body language, it can also be the most misunderstood and can even be misleading.
For example, when you look at that new face or say, a stranger smiling at you across the crowded hall, what does it tell you? Is she just being friendly or is that beautiful stranger try to attract or flirt with you? Hmmm...confusing yet?
But first, the most important thing to consider is, is it even a genuine smile or only a forced one?
Why do people have to use the forced smile? Well, a it is normally donned to show politeness or courtesy (forced courtesy, if you may) and cheerfulness to make a good (usually first) impression on others.

It's normal that we tend to get unhappy, tired or simply unmotivated to work every once in a while. As I was browsing the Net lately, I came upon some employees' some quick happy fixes on how to combat a dreary or unmotivated day at the workplace. And here are some of what I found out:
-Have a song for the day and hum it as you leave your house and enter your office. Choose your song of the day and cue it on your Ipod and play it on as you walk your way to work, driving in your car, or riding the elevator up to your office.

Do you feel happy in your job? There are tell-tale signs of unhappiness in the workplace. Check out if you're feeling these stuff:
1) You're always procrastinating at work. This is by far one of the obvious signs of unhappiness in the workplace. When you feel unmotivated, it's only natural that you don't feel the energy to move about and carry out your tasks, so you keep on postponing it. And if ever you finish your task, you're always rushing it to make it and hit the deadline, very often producing very haphazard results.
2) You really feel that working hours are long.

So it's Christmas--it's the season of joy and gift-giving, yet some of you may worry what's the best gift we can give to our loved ones this holiday season. Especially for the totally clueless, or who are trying to save money to give gifts, then how about doing something nice for other people? Hey, it's effortless, not to mention inexpensive. Plus, they may think that you're thoughtful, considerate and sweet--even just for this Christmas.
On my last post, I talked about how you can be nice to yourself as a present for yourself. This time around, how about doing something nice for others? Yes, the other people which adds color to your life.
Well, why don't you try--
1) Giving a Thank You card, just because...a) their presence is already a gift itself b) for their friendship c) for being simply themselves? d) or anything you want to thank for.
Yes, I know it's kinda outdated, especially in these fast times of SMS, e-mails, Voice mail, chats and all things "instant", isn't it pleasantly surprising to receive something as rare as a handwritten card? Handing something nice like a Thank You card can make someone happy.

It's Christmas season once again, and it's time for a breather since the past 11 months you've been working hard. It's the season to be merry and gift-giving. And speaking of gifts, you give your family, friends and loved ones gifts in the spirit of Christmas.
But have you ever realized that you might be giving some gifts to others that you forgot to give one yourself? This holiday season, give yourself something effortless--the gift of being nice to yourself, what else?
Think of some of the nice things to do for yourself.
1) You can choose to live a healthy lifestyle by watching what you eat and that includes going easy on the junk food, or removing it completely off your system.

Best Friends: Your Gifts More Priceless Than Gold
Who are your best friends--they say the gift of friendship is more priceless than gold. I can remember I was lucky enough to have already found mine as early as grade school. In our journey through life, we encountered tons and tons of people, and some of these strangers have turned into acquaintances. Then, if you're really lucky, some of these acquaintances may form into friendships.
Best friends are always there whenever you need them. They share your deepest and darkest secrets with them. Being with them bring about a sense of bonding and camaraderie of like-minded people who enjoy each other's company.

Stop Worrying And Start Living
"Don't worry, be happy", so goes a popular song from way way back. Indeed, why worry? I've read somewhere that worry is like a rocking chair--you never really get anything from it, yet you still keep on doing it. Usually, worrying stems from living in the past, preventing future regrets or mistakes to happen again. Or what the future may bring.
For you to stop worrying, you need to:
1) Stop living in the past. We all made mistakes, misdemeanors, regrets, follies of our youth, etc. It's already done in the past and time to move on.

How Do You Build Positive Relationships?
That was the question I always hear from most people. Of course, our life is mostly about relationships and building positive relationships to contribute to a happy life. Research found out that many career failures are not caused by incompetence or lack of skills, but by the various workplace conflicts/personality clashes and/or individual differences amongst employees or with their bosses. When it comes to building relationships, 1) Choose harmony than being right; so forget about insisting on having the last word. Agree to disagree---sometimes, being kind is more essential than being right because building relationships is not really about winning insignificant arguments, but maintaining harmony.

Want Greater Happiness? Invest In Experiences, Not Possessions
“Come on, let’s get tickets to the musical and enjoy ourselves!” I can still remember how my friend shrieked excitedly when we’re about to watch the famous Broadway musical “Chicago”. The tickets were quite pricey, but boy, did we enjoy it! They say that money can’t buy happiness, but did it ever occur to you that what if you spend your money on the right purchases---will it make any difference? Will it give you greater happiness? Well, according to a new study in psychology, purchasing on life’s experiences instead of material belongings brings greater happiness and satisfaction both for the buyer and people surrounding them.
