We all want to be happy and successful, but sometimes our attitude contradicts what we say we want, and that gets in the way of the happiness we desire. Have you ever heard these phrases coming out of your mouth, or have you thought them?
I hate this stupid job.
Why does this always happen to me?

It’s another theme day here at the Science and Health Channel, and most everyone is posting about the holidays. But not all of us, me included, celebrate holidays, so I wanted to do something else appropriate to the season. To that end, here are 7 tips for staying active and getting your daily exercise even […]
Ever since I took the RealAge test, I’ve been getting the sort-of-daily e-mail updates, and a recent one on jumping rope (or jump-roping, if you prefer) really caught my eye.

What should I do if I can’t run non-stop for 15 minutes?
How often should I run?
How far should my runs be?
I’m afraid […]
I’m still trying to figure out the answer to this question (though I’m tempted to say that the “sitting on my butt in front of the computer all day” workout is the perfect fit). So when I came across this fun quiz from iVillage, I figured, hey, what the heck?
Here are my results:

Ladies, you and I may have our whole lives ahead of us, but if we want those lives to be long and healthy, we cannot put off taking care of ourselves now. Being young is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for health. SO! Do you know what you need to do to make sure you’re creating […]
I loved this past Saturday’s article by Nancy LaFever, LISW, LICDC, on the importance of downtime at the Emotional Well-Being Blog:
