WELLBEING'S IN & OUT

IN

SMILE. Happiness and generally wellbeing is not just money, economy and business. No matter what a smile is in.

ALTRUISM. Treat people like you would like to be treated. Take care about other s fealings and thoughts. Help whenever you can.

DANCE MUSIC. Every artist is getting into it. When times are hard people like upbeat music.

EAT LESS AND BE MORE ACTIVE. Eat more nutritive, organic food than caloric processed food. Be more active.

MIX ING WORKOUT. Celebs are maxing out their exercise time. Calorie-blasting cardio, kickboxing, body-sculpting, pilates...

ENOUGH SLEEP. Few more hours of sleep can make you happier.

OUT

MATERIALISTIC POSSESIVENESS. Make your life simple. You don’t need so much money, huge houses, luxury cars, yachts, airplanes… to be happy.

COMPLICATED COOKING. Perfect dishes are simple- unprocessed, fresh veggie and fruit.

CHEATING. Everybody is looking for true and deep love. Cheating is out.

GRANDMOTHER’S GARDEN. Traditional floral gardens are out. Instead of so many flowers, make lifestyle garden-veggies and fruits so you can eat organic and fresh.

DIET DRINKS AND FOOD. The most used artificial sweetener is aspartame. It is becoming a major addictive substance and the health effects are absolutely profound.

MY GIRLFRIENDS

Today I would like to talk about one very important thing in the life of every woman…her girlfriends. Choose them carefully, listen to them, love them and look after them. Friends are so very important in every woman's life…women need other women in their lives.

I am grateful to all my girlfriends…without them I wouldn`t be who I am today. They are my other self, my support, my consolation, and my inspiration. Girlfriends aren`t just friends, they are like sisters, mothers, and teachers. They will cheer you on, encourage you, console you, advise you, and be there for you when you need them most.

No matter how many thousands of miles you may be apart, friends should always remain close. A friend is never so far away that she can’t be there for you if you need her. With today’s technology…telephones, cell phones, texting, voicemail, email, Facebook, etc., there are so many ways to stay in touch with one another.

I have learned that a true friend can be so valuable and add so much to your life. It is an irreplaceable feeling when you know that you can call her at anytime about anything; that you can rely on her and share both joy and sorrow together.

To find true happiness in life, it's not necessary for great things to come into your life. True happiness doesn`t depend upon the amount of money you have, luxurious summer vacations, fame or material possessions. More than anything, happiness comes from within ourselves and the people with whom we share our lives.

Following is an interesting example from my native country, Serbia. During an international research conference in 2002, it was reported that 43% of Serbian citizens stated they are very satisfied with their lives. This is unusual because of the socio-economic struggling and the political uprising that the Serbian people have sustained during the past 20 years. A possible explanation of that overall happiness seems to be a direct result of the close social relationships which characterize the Serbian culture. The level of national happiness does seem to correlate with the national economic power, but only to a certain extent. Therefore, through research and studies, we now have scientific proof that happiness is not attained through financial success and material possessions, but through the ever-important and lasting interpersonal relationships we form.

While chasing a career, trying to attain financial success, raising our families and taking on so many responsibilities in our daily lives, we often neglect spending time with our girlfriends. That's inadmissible! Happiness hides itself in the quality of close social relationships we develop with family and friends.

In closing, please don`t neglect your girlfriends! As much as you love your boyfriends, husbands, children, and your career, and regardless of all of your day-to-day responsibilities, please make time for your girlfriends. Socialize with them! Remember, they`ll be there for you when you need them most!!!

BIG CLEANING OF LIFE

Cleaning is an excellent way to keep up the positive energy, peace, happiness. Mess is confusing, exhausting, wearying. From time to time you need to make a big cleaning, outside and inside. And by that I mean to liberate yourself of all excesses. We are prone to exaggerate in almost everything, eating, shopping, obligations, work, idleness, number of friends... Epidemics of obesity and obsessive need for possession (disposophobia, the fear of getting rid of stuff) are curable illnesses of a consuming society.

My suggestion is to simplify life. Then it becomes easier and more beautiful. Have you heard of the Blue Zones? These are geographical areas, in which, on the relatively small area leaves significant number of people older than 100 years of age. And they live a happy, healthy and a productive life. These zones are situated in isolated areas of Sardinia, Costa Rica, Okinawa and USA. They represent natural experiment for research of happiness, longevity and health. When you compare their way of living with ours, you can see that secret of their success is not in something they have and we don`t. On the contrary, secret of our " failure" is in the fact that we have more, too much. Because of that, first step on the path of well being is to liberate yourself of all excesses. They are poisoning your mind, spirit and body. Make a big cleaning in your life, create a space for new things, thoughts, people and experiences.

1. LIBERATE YOURSELF OF ALL UNNECESSARY THINGS. The biggest dilemma when cleaning the mess is whether you should keep something or not? I know that you are as indecisive as I was. You feel guilt whenever you think of throwing something out. Anything that we don`t use with love takes precious space for something else in our life. So, without any guilt give away, throw away or put away every single thing which has no purpose in your life. They are occupying the precious space for the things that you are going to love and use more. Just think how many things from your closet you don`t use (majority of the people don`t use 75% of their wardrobe). Live one shelf empty, you are going to need it (you will remember me soon)!

2.LIBERATE YOURSELF OF NEGATIVE THOUGHTS.The way you experience yourself and the world that surrounds you impacts your happiness. The unhappiest people are those who are their own biggest critics, pessimists and those unable to cope with stress. Life is unpredictable. Not every day is beautiful. Sometimes terrible thing happens, things that are beyond our control. It doesn`t mean that we should give up, and not to give everybody chance to be good. Sometimes it takes only a few seconds for a bad day to become good or brilliant (and vice versa). START EVERY DAY WITH POSITIVE THOUGHTS, HOPE THAT IT WILL BE ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY IN YOUR LIFE.

3 . LIBERATE YOURSELF OF NEGATIVE PEOPLE. Frequently out of habit, routinely we maintain friendships and contacts with people. Be honest with yourself. Ask yourself how people that surrounds you affect you? Do they motivate you, make you happy or the opposite? I am sure that in your surroundings, you have those people who are always discontent, who always "missing" something, who criticize you, underestimate or ignore your success. People who, in a short time, suck up every atom of your strength from you. My friends calls them Vampires (First time when she told me that "Vampires molest her" I though that she was losing her mind.). Their negativity is contagious! Try to avoid them as much as possible. Those who are not too important, you can completely clean up from your life, without any regrets. In that way you are going to make more room for friends which will satisfy you more.

4. DETOXIFICATION OR CLEANING OF THE ORGANISM. We live in the time of the enormous pollution, we eat toxic food, drink toxic water, breath toxic air. Cleaning of our organism is more necessary than ever before. Liberate yourself of all toxins and extra weight before they manifest themselves in form of illness. On the 18th World Annual Congress on Anti -Aging Medicine, Orlando, USA, which I have attended, antiaging experts recommended following detoxification procedures: Colon therapy (irrigation of intestines), Chelation therapy (intravenous administration of synthetic amino acid, EDTA, in order to remove heavy metals such as mercury, lead and aluminium from the organism, Lymphatic massage (removal of toxins from the lymph nodes, Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (treatment in oxygen chamber destroys parasites and toxins in our organism) and so on. For everyday life they recommend detox diet: consuming more fluids, unchlorinated water, herbal teas, homemade juices, raw unprocessed food, organic food, unrefined oils. Detoxification include everyday antioxidant supplementation with Vitamin C, Selenium, Vitamin E, CO-Q-10, beta carotene, etc.

Until next time liberate yourself of all excesses, walk through life disburdened. Simple life is a good life!!!
