Sentimental thing that really shows that we are chatting about the weather than about what makes our hearts overflow. They spend the money on other
Money can buy happiness. But only if their waste not only itself, but also to other people. Giving - better than taking. They can hear

Optimists who oppose exactly the same difficulties of the world, think about the bad luck in the opposite way. They believe that the defeat - it is temporary, that it is not their fault: the circumstances, bad luck, or other people. Such people are not worried about the defeat. Surrounded by troubles, they perceive them as a challenge and try harder. " They appreciate good music
In music power. Such that it can compete with the power of massage. Choosing the right music - it is an important factor. Happy or sad song can influence our perception of the world. In one study, people were asked to identify from photographs, whether happy or sad people depicted on them. In most cases their response to the mood of the music listened experimental at the moment. This means that we must try to listen more joyful music. They are disconnected from the network

And not only in religion, of course, as in any spiritual practice. "Sacred rituals" that we have in our lives. Whether it is meditation, prayer, a time for reflection on an ongoing basis.

"Get up on the wrong foot" - not such a fiction. Waking up at the right period of sleep - is one way to avoid a bad mood for the day. Doctors do not recommend to immediately jump out of bed and run, it is better not to start waking up on his feet, and in the comfort of blankets and pillows. And, of course, you need to get enough sleep. They laugh
