Make Space in your Life

For many of us, dreams may seem like a luxury or something unattainable, but in the long run ignoring your needs and interests can led to frustration and unhappiness. Going after your dreams means you are using your unique talents and first, and living life to the fullest. “without our dreams, all we have is reality.” People with dreams live longer, healthier lives.

Starting today, make a promise to yourself that realizing your goal will top your to-do list. To achieve this, you’ll have to clear your schedule of some unnecessary clutter. You need to create space in your life for your dream. Use passion as the barometer for deciding what to quit. Say no to something you don’t need or want to do, and say yes to your dream.

Follow Your Dream

Good morning friends. There are certain things to live by. One of it is to follow your dreams. Some says that if you will not follow your dream as if you will die. I came across with the article compiled by Natasha Persaud. It’s a good one. Those who gave more importance to their dreams, you have to aim for that. I want to share it to you.

Mom-kid attachement, Good Friendship, Precious Moment

Good morning friends. there are different ways to become happy. Some make themselves by going to a mall, some enjoyed while there were in the company of their friends, some enjoy when they were alone. But the important is that you know how you can make yourself happy the way you want it to be. I want to share an article which I read about mother and child. With all moms, they get happy when they were together with their child. Simple happiness but you can feel the value of being together.

Toddlers who are strongly attached to their mothers are more likely to form closer friendships in the early grade-school years. Mother-child relationships may be important in guiding children’s outlook towards other close relationships.
"In a secure, emotionally open mother-child relationship, children develop a more positive, less biased understanding of others, which then promotes more positive friendships during the early school years." Children who were securely attached at age three showed more open emotional communication with mothers and better language ability.

It was found that open emotional communication at age four and a half was related to mother- and teacher-reported friendship quality via the child’s general peer competence in first grade. "When kids feel comfortable talking about their emotions, especially their negative emotions, it increases their social competence with classmates and leads to closer friendships."

The way children interpret other people’s behavior may begin to develop in the context of early relationships in the family, and these interpretations may be important for a child’s ability to get along with friends later on".

With this open emotional communication, mother-child relationship will stay as good as it is and the feelings of happiness will always be felt.

Never Stop Having Fun

Many of us have lost our sense of fun. I asked one of my friend how they define fun. Some say going to a party or meet some of friends and watch movies, some says eat the food whenever they feel. But fun doesn’t have to be that complicated. Having fun doesn’t need to cost money. And it also doesn’t have to last for hours or days. The benefits are too powerful to ignore: it takes you away from your responsibilities for a few minutes, refreshes you and makes you more productive and organized.

Put it to work. If you’re worried that you’ve forgotten how to play, think back to childhood. What did you love to do when you were still a kid? What flavor of the ice cream you always asked with your mom? What kind of toy you want to play? For my friend Danny, a fun afternoon is spent browsing at antiques store for favorite games and small cars he played with as a child.
