How to Build Self Confidence, Happiness and Health

As you read Part I, ask yourself the following questions: Do you have the self difference? Do you “just know” that you’ll succeed no matter what? Do you know what motivates and gets you going? And do you know how to tap into the motivations of other people? The answers to these questions will be explained to you as well as to some additional helpful areas. You’ll understand how to build your own self confidence and how to generate confidence immediately. You’ll also have a very strong understanding of motivation and how it can help you in your personal development. After reading the material on the topic, you would also be able to maximize your potential by gaining or refining your management and leadership skills. In Part II, you will understand why we do have every reason to be happy. We convince ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another. Then we get frustrated because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older. Then we are frustrated because they reach adolescence and we must deal with them. Surely, we’ll be happier when they grow out of the teen years. We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse gets his/her act together, when we have nicer car, when we take a vacation, when we finally retire. The truth is that there is no better time to be happy than NOW. If not, then when? Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better to admit as much and decide to be happy in spite of it all. For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start. Real life! But there was always some obstacle along the way, an ordeal to get through, some work to be finished, some time to be given, and a bill to be paid. Then life would start. I finally came to understand that those obstacles were life. That point of view helped me see that there isn’t any road to happiness. Happiness IS the road. So enjoy every moment! Stop waiting for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage to be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first day or 15th of the month, for your song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn, before deciding to be happy. Happiness is a journey, a voyage, not a destination. There is no better time to be happy than NOW! Live and enjoy the moment!! Read and enjoy Part II on “Reason to be Happy”. In Part III, you will understand why to do physical activity safely and reduce the risk of injuries and other adverse events, people should understand the risks and yet be confident that physical activity is safe for almost everyone. People should choose to do types of physical activity that are appropriate for their current fitness level and health goals, because some activities are safer than others. They should increase physical activity gradually over time whenever more activity is necessary to meet guidelines or health goals. Inactive people should “start low and go slow” by gradually increasing how often and how long activities are done. They should protect themselves by using appropriate gear and sports equipment, looking for safe environments, following rules and policies, and making sensible choices about when, where, and how to be active.
