The Power of Thinking Positively

Think-positive

Positive thinking entails a positive mindset and good energy. Having a positive mental attitude on all things can enable an individual to attract happiness, good health and even success in any given situation or event. Although most people are still left unconvinced about the power it brings, some people who were able to learn and harness the true power of optimism reported several favourable results.

The beauty of the mind…

All things are created equally, that’s the balance of life! Sometimes, we feel happy and other times, we just feel a little blue. Humans are blessed to have a beautiful, complex mind. We’re given the ability to think, judge and choose between right from wrong on our own. Therefore, how we perceive life and what we are today are products of our decisions and judgements – either good or bad.  Read the rest of this entry →

What I Like and Don’t Like About My Fitness Pal

my-fitness-pal-reviewYou’ve probably heard the saying “health is wealth” too many times before but I’d like to say it again. We’re blessed to have the gift of life. Since we’re limited of having a single lifetime and an irreplaceable body, we have to be responsible for taking care of our health and wellness to enjoy life. One among the many ways to stay healthy is to be physically fit.

I stumbled upon My Fitness Pal, a free web and smartphone app, that both weight and fitness watchers can use to keep track of exercise regimen and food intake. Overall, the app boasts 4 million food and food recipes on their database. This is a huge list of foods to be discovered and shared for the calorie-conscience population.

Elf on the Shelf – Ideas for 2014 Holiday Cheer

elf_on_the_shelf_1The mischievous elf strikes again. Will he be as grouchy, silly as ever? Or did he learned his lesson last time around?

Discover Great Music with Pandora Radio

Discover Great Music with Pandora RadioI’ve found a fun way to discover new and old music through Pandora Radio. Since the app is free, I took advantage of the opportunity and have it installed on my phone. I currently live in Nashville where highly-acclaimed musicians and singers are born or rise to stardom. So music is a very important part of our city’s culture. I am thrilled that Pandora Radio lets me listen to music for free, as long as I have internet or a good Wi-fi connection.

On my first use, Pandora asked me to key in an artist/band name or a song I’d like to listen to. I typed the first song that came to my mind and enjoyed listening to it. I was caught off guard when another songstarted to play – it was new to me but was a similar genre to the song I asked for, country!  Read the rest of this entry →
