Hello
Everyone
There is so
much information on diet, health and general well-being around at the moment
that sometimes it is hard to get a balance.
For example
there is a great movement afoot in the western world to have people be more
accountable for the amount of sugar they eat and the impact it has on health – especially

English is an interesting language.
The word ‘and’ is the fifth most popular word in the English

Hello Everyone
Some interesting research in Australia makes one think
about the causes of happiness.
The Di Marzio Research group asked participants to rate
seven things that made them happy or fulfilled.
Of all the items listed the highest ranking on 36% was “an act of kindness
to benefit another”. This was followed
by having a cuddle and third was walking in nature – 12%.

Hello Everyone
Is it possible that clenching the left hand could help
in times of stress? According to the American Psychological Association in
the Science Daily if you are right-handed, this is so. Their research indicates that say, squeezing
a ball activates certain parts of the brain and lessens
the impact of stress or anxiety.

Many of you no doubt follow the
Socratean philosophy that an ‘unexamined life is not worth living’. That is
perhaps one reason why you read articles like this. It is likely that, like me,
you have already experienced many personality assessment tools and have a fair
idea of who you are and your impact on others.
