Today’s Quote

Friendship
~ Jean Kyler McManus

“A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.

A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy and grace.

And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.”

Today’s Message

Formula for Success

Event (E) + Response (R) = Outcome (O)
~ Jack Canfield

“Outcomes can sometimes come across as not “controllable” or out of control, however our reaction is controllable. How we react in a situation, based on an event guides the outcome. We cannot control the events, we cannot always control the outcomes, but we can control our reactions to an event thus guiding the outcome. How we react in any given situation is a choice.”

Tune in and listen to tips on how to control your reaction to any situation and make the best choice possible from the Happy Wednesday Ladies.

Today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast is about making positive affirmations.

First…what is an affirmation?
An affirmation is a statement designed to bring positive change in oneself or into one’s life. It should be stated AS IF the desired outcome has already occurred or is in the process of occurring, not as something that will happen in the future.

How can affirmations change your life?

Tune in and listen to the Happy Wednesday Ladies as they each share one of their favorite affirmations.

Don’t have a favorite affirmation?
Feel free to use Angie’s or Joanie’s affirmation to help you get started.

Today’s Quote
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Today’s Quote
The Hug
~ Unknown Author

“It’s wondrous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you when you’re blue.

A hug can say, ‘I love you so,’
Or ‘Gee, I hate to see you go.’

A hug is ‘Welcome back again.’
And ‘Great to see you! Where’ve you been?’

A hug can soothe a small child’s pain,
and bring a rainbow after rain.

The hug! There’s just no doubt about it-
we scarcely could survive without it!

A hug delights and warms and charms.
It must be why God gave us arms.

A hug can break the language barrier,
and make your travels so much merrier.

No need to fret about your store of them,
the more you give, the more there’s more of them.

So stretch those arms without delay
and give someone a hug today!”

Until next week, have a Happy Wednesday!

Five Rules to be Happy

Five Simple Rules to be Happy
~Unknown Author
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.

As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. ‘I love it,’ he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

‘Mr. Jones, you haven’t seen the room; just wait.’
‘That doesn’t have anything to do with it,’ he replied.
‘Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is
arranged … it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it.

It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice;
I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the
parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.

Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.. Just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you’ve put in.

So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories! Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank. I am still depositing.’

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Today’s question
What happiness are you depositing in your Happy Memory Bank today?

Until next week, have a Happy Wednesday!

Your Thoughts Affect Your Health

jw@joanwinberg.com (Joanie Winberg) — Wed, 13 May 2009 04:24:25 PDT

Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to the Happy Wednesday Broadcast…
For another midweek BOOST to help make your Wednesday a
“Power” Day and banish “hump” day from your life forever.

And now here is your host, the Happy Wednesday Lady, Joanie Winberg

Dear Joanie,

Happy Wednesday!

Today’s special message!

With the stress of today’s economic situation, it is extremely important

to realize the power of your thoughts and how your thoughts affect your health.

Eckhart Tolle says it perfectly…

“Although the body is very intelligent, it cannot tell the difference between an actual situation and a thought. It reacts to every thought as if it were a reality. It doesn’t know it is just a thought.

To the body, a worrisome, fearful thought means ’I am in danger,’ and it responds accordingly, even though you may be lying in a warm and comfortable bed at night. The heart beats faster, muscles contract, breathing becomes rapid. There is a buildup of energy, but since the danger is only a mental fiction, the energy has no outlet. Part of it is fed back to the mind and generates even more anxious thoughts.

The rest of the energy turns toxic and interferes with the harmonious functioning of the body.”

Today’s Tip

Living in the present moment is one way to help destress instantly. To master this life skill, practice the exercise below everyday for the next week.

First, be aware! Last week, I did a Stress Management workshop and asked the group to describe what they just had for lunch and how it tasted. Most people realized they did not taste their food, but had only inhaled it. Hmmm! Does this sound like you?

During your next meal…describe what you are eating by using all your senses. What does it smell like? What does it sound like…crunchy? What does it taste like? What does it look like?

Describe on paper what you are eating with as many details as possible.

Are you feeling less stressed? Are you amazed as to how delicious the food tasted? This is also a great way to lose weight because you will eat less.

E-mail me your results- jw@joanwinberg.com. I would love to hear from you.

Until next week, have a Happy Wednesday!

Inspirational Tips to Lose Weight

jw@joanwinberg.com (Joanie Winberg) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:47:33 PDT

Happy Wednesday!
Welcome to the Happy Wednesday Broadcast…
For another midweek BOOST to help make your Wednesday a
“Power” Day and banish “hump” day from your life forever.

And now here is your host, the Happy Wednesday Lady, Joanie Winberg

Today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast is brought to you by a very special guest. Enjoy!
Turn up your speakers to listen to today’s tips.

Are you tired of having to deprive yourself of your favorite foods so you can lose weight?

I have great news for you. You don’t have to do that any longer. I’m Dr. Rita Hancock, author of The Eden Diet, and I’m going to give you two much easier-to-follow (AND MORE FUN) ways to lose weight.

First, make sure you’re PHYSICALLY hungry before you eat. Think about it. If you’re overweight, you probably eat mindlessly at times, or because of emotions like stress or boredom, rather than because of true, physical hunger.

To distinguish TRUE hunger from false hunger, take “The Apple Test.” Imagine the food you crave (like a candy bar, for example) sitting on a plate next to an apple. Would you eat the apple? If not, you’re not physically hungry. When you’re physically hungry you’ll eat anything to stop the hunger. But if you ARE hungry enough for the apple, you can skip the apple and eat a LITTLE candy if that’s what you prefer. There’s nothing wrong with eating a treat occasionally, even while you’re on a reducing diet.

That brings me to my next tip. You must eat smaller portions. HALF portions or less if you want to lose weight. You can’t eat a King Size candy bar each time you’re hungry if you expect to lose weight. Eat half of a single serving candy bar as a treat, and save the other half for later. You can do that occasionally, even on a reducing diet.

The idea is to eat ONLY when you’re PHYSICALLY hungry, and to eat smaller portions. If you do that, you can lose weight the easier way—WITHOUT DEPRIVING YOURSELF OF YOUR FAVORITE FOODS.

Rita knows first hand what it is like to overcome obesity. Being Italian, she had access to the world’s most delicious food when she was growing up. Unfortunately, she ate too much of it. By the time Rita was 17 and was 5′1″ tall, she weighed 207 pounds and wore size 20 jeans. Cornell University to study nutrition, Rita lost 75 pounds. And she did it by including occasional treats in her overall low-calorie diet, and by eating less and exercising more.

Dr. Hancock is a board-certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist with a subspecialty board certification in Pain Management. She has been in full time practice in Norman, Oklahoma for ten years.

The Happy Wednesday Broadcast is dedicated to making a difference in the world as a “Friendly” weekly reminder to empower yourself every Wednesday, by doing such things as an act of kindness or forgiving someone. Now we have added one more thing to the list; consciously do something to celebrate the earth every Wednesday.

“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”

Imagine if we all make a conscious decision to live “green” everyday what a tremendous impact that would make on the entire world.

A Special Message
~ Steve Wilson

“Great leaders know that if employees don’t find some fun about their jobs on a regular basis, morale will sag, followed in short order by productivity and customer service. They know that encouraging positive humor and discouraging toxic humor will increase job satisfaction, communications and customer rapport, and will ward off charges of harassment or a hostile work environment.

They use humor and a light touch to reward and to deftly harmonize and smooth over certain conflicts. They use the light touch to boost optimism and allay anxieties. They encourage good-natured banter and discourage zingers and put-down humor.”
Steve Nelson
Known internationally as The Joyologist and the Cheerman of the Bored, Steve is the
Founder of the World Laughter Tour and creator of a popular and effective laughter therapy program, organizing laughter clubs, training Certified Laughter Leaders and preventing hardening of the attitudes.

8 Tips on How to Let Go and Have FUN!
From the book “Play or Pay- 77 Ways to Have Fun” (author- Susan Schanerman).

1) Dry your hair by sticking your head out the car window.

2) Make a list of the silly things you would like to try once.

3) Helen Keller said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” Do something daring.

4) Play your favorite show tunes and sing along at the top of your lungs…dancing optional.

5) Make a date with yourself. Take yourself to a favorite spot that you haven’t been to in ages.

6) Take a “Well Day” from work or from life, in general, instead of a sick day! Notice how much better you feel!

7) Buy a disposable camera…take pictures for no apparent reason…let your creative juices flow.

What does it mean to “let your hair down”? When was the last time you did it?

Recipe for Happiness

jw@joanwinberg.com (Joanie Winberg) — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:11:05 PDT

Happy Wednesday!
Welcome to the Happy Wednesday Broadcast…
For another midweek BOOST to help make your Wednesday a
“Power” Day and banish “hump” day from your life forever.

And now here is your host, the Happy Wednesday Lady, Joanie Winberg

Today’s Tips
Warning:
This recipe may cause intense happiness and works best when doubled and tripled.
Excessive portions will bring prosperity in all good things.

Recipe for Happiness

Ingredients:

1 cup Positive Assumptions
1 heaping spoonful of Perspective
3 Good Things
Tons of caring for yourself and others

Directions:
As a base, place one large cup of positive assumptions in a big bowl. Use positivity blended with hope, optimism and gratitude (not available in most media outlets).

Add one heaping spoonful of perspective (fresh is best). To accelerate the process, engage others for an even broader perspective. During this step, please wear rose-colored glasses.

Stir in 3 Good Things. Add one good thing about yourself, one good thing about family, and one good thing about work. Start with 3 Good Things but feel free to add additional to taste.

Stir all ingredients together with an attitude of possibility and love and let rise and bake at 98.6 degrees for several hours, days, weeks, months and years. This recipe serves several people. Once you consume this, you will infuse many others and you and your happy friends will be able to perpetuate happiness as long as you choose.

As a garnish, fill your plate with tons of caring for yourself and others. Take hot baths, talk to friends, laugh and play. Take action to help others accomplish their dreams, hold the door open, say thank you and express your love.

With regular consumption of this recipe you will NOT be one of the 70% of Americans who report being less than very happy. Or one of the 46% percent of workers who feel unappreciated. Or one of the 54% of Americans concerned about the level of stress in their everyday lives. And you will AVOID higher medical costs, lower work efficiency and missed days at work.
