When to Consider Cosmetic Surgery, When not to
March 9th, 2011
Cosmetic surgery may make you look better and this physical change often results in feeling better. When is surgery a better option than embarking on a concerted effort to exercise and eat a healthy diet? Certainly these simple changes can accomplish some things, all without the need for surgery. There are some instances when surgery is the only remedy.
Loosing unwanted weight and toning muscles often does the trick to boost morale and usually results in an overall improvement in appearance. Besides the simple changes becoming a potential health benefit, people often report a better sense of well-being. However, there are no exercises, no magic lotions or potions to get rid of droopy eyelids or sagging jowls. This type of normal aging contributes to looking tired and perhaps looking older than one would choose. These conditions require cosmetic surgery to correct the problems. Likewise, many of the permanent physical changes that women experience due to pregnancy, may also be corrected with cosmetic surgery.
The association between looking good and feeling great can be a powerful one. When used properly, elective cosmetic surgery can make you look better. So just like a great new haircut, by making you look better, it often makes you feel better.
SECRET TO HAPPINESS
April 5th, 2010
This article caught my eye this weekend. Fox News Online reported that the pursuit of happiness is sometimes easier said than done, however, we can all do a few things to help increase our chances of being happy.
It has long been believed that happiness is largely determined by genetics, basically outside of our control. But recent research suggests people actually can take charge of their own happiness by following these 5 Steps.
According to psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky of the University of California, Riverside, “Despite the finding that happiness is partially genetically determined, and despite the finding that life situations have a smaller influence on our happiness than we think they do, we argue that still a large portion of happiness is in our power to change.”
Lyubomirsky published her findings in the Journal of Clinical Psychology. Here are the five things that her research has shown can lead to more happiness:
1. Be grateful
2. Be optimistic
3. Count your blessings
4. Use your strengths
5. Carry out acts of kindness
It turns out that by helping others, we also help ourselves!
