CHOOSE to be happy

April 23, 2008 at 10:04 am (Uncategorized)

I read an article in the Sunday Herald Sun and thought I’d share some of the author’s comments as well as a few of my own thoughts.

The author, Dr Timothy Sharp states that happiness is not that elusive. It’s all about the choices we make. He breaks down the word CHOOSE into six key happiness strategies.

C – Clarity of goals, direction and life purpose. Happy people tend to have a clearer sense of purpose and are able to define and reach their goals. I really believe in goal setting and I mean sitting down regularly (6 – 12 months) and writing down your goals. When you write down your goals, they become real. Review them regularly so you don’t lose track of where you want to go.

H – Healthy living, including regularly physical activity, eating well, getting enough sleep, mental health etc. A healthy body definitely helps your mental health and well being. You won’t be happy if you’re regularly feeling sick and or tired. Get fit, eat well, get enough sleep and the energy levels will return and you’ll feel better about yourself.

O – Optimistic thinking. Be positive but also realistic. I believe being optimistic is a key to addressing and overcoming challenges effectively. Optimist can be learnt, so if you’re not naturally optimistic, get on the web and find the tools to help your improve.

O – Others. Happiness is not always about satisfying your own needs. Making other people happy definitely bring you happiness and fosters stronger and more fulfilling relationships. Happy people tend to make other people happy.

S – Strengths, your core talents, qualities and attributes. Happy people tend to know their strengths and obtain maximum benefits from these qualities. Don’t get down on yourself about what you can do, concentrate on what you’re good at and do it as much as possible.

E – Enjoy the moment. Happy people learn from the past and plan for the future but they’re much better living in, and appreciate, the present. Don’t get hung up on what happened yesterday or stress out about things that may happen, focus on the here and now and what you can control.

This post may be a few helpful tips towards improving your happiness levels. I really enjoyed this article and I hope you can also get something from these tips as well.

One Step Closer to Our Dream Car!

April 14, 2008 at 10:36 am (Uncategorized)

Me and my hubby dreams of buying our dream car within the year. But unfortunately, our savings is not enough to buy a new SUV that he craves for a year now. So, we thought of applying for a car loans. But we’re having second thoughts about it because we haven’t tried any loans, especially with regards to cars in that matter. So, we’re quite afraid to indulge on it, especially I know someone who had her loans but had a hard time paying now because of some undeclared additional charges that her financing agent ask her to pay.

Fortunately, her SIL told her about this great auto loan site. This site is the internet’s preferred source for auto loans and auto financing. They are dedicated on giving its consumers the best rates no matter what auto loan they wish to apply. They also have 3 different auto loan type- loan for new cars, loan for used cars and refinancing of old auto loan. Well, as for us we’re looking for the possibility of joining her apply in this auto loan site, and might try applying for a loan for new cars. As with my friend, she just applied a while ago on refinancing his old auto loan.

Best of all, they work with the nation’s top lenders to offer its consumers the lowest interest rates available with affordable monthly payments to match.

Oh, I just can’t wait to tell Mike about this one, hopefully he approves it and will be on our way of owing our dream car! I’m so excited!
