Are you dissatisfied with your life? Many people are. What is stopping you from feeling happy? For a lot of people they believe it's money, but it can also be countless other issues. How do we get from this place, to a place of happiness, contentment, peace and joy? The secret is to accept yourself and your present circumstances, as is, just now.

Open your eyes, it's all around us - normal people behaving inappropriately. There's the ordinary everyday stuff that we take for granted as part and parcel of normal living - like road rage (most everybody has had a fit of that at some stage). There's the more disturbing like workplace bullying - the WBI-Zogby International's August 2007 survey found that some 54 million Americans - 37% of the US workforce - are subjected to bullying. And, then, there's the heavy stuff, like domestic violence. The American Bar Association believes approximately 2m people are subjected to various forms of domestic violence each year. But even take a look at the way so-called loved ones talk to each other in public places - I've seen both husbands and wives verbally abuse each other openly in airports, shopping malls, car parks - as if it were just the normal thing to do. I've heard parents admonish their children in ways that will stick in the child's open, sponge-...

The terms health and wellness are very often used in conjunction with each other or sometimes one is interchanged for the other. However, the meanings are just a bit different. Health is defined as the physical state of being, and it depends on a variety of factors such as heredity, food choices, environmental factors, physical fitness, amount of rest, and thoughts and emotions. Wellness is the process of maintaining overall good health.

Self-control is defined as "control of oneself" or the "ability to master one's desires and impulses. Interestingly, self-control is actually perceived in a number of ways. Philosophically speaking self-control could be described as the exertion of one's own will. Psychologically, self-control usually refers to a person's self-perception, belief system, as well as the ability to set boundaries on their own behavior. Among some scientific communities, the issue seems to be whether or not what we perceive as "normal" (and hence the standard that the person lacking self-control violates) is truly an accurate setting to work with. Most people assume that self-control is healthier than impulsiveness. However, this has to be compared to each person's value system. For example, some communities may demand stringent behavior as regards sexual morality. Other communities will hold that generosity and pacifism are more important than ...

Even older babies' baths can be limited to two or three times a week without any problems at all. Some babies will take to the water right away, while others may need a bit more work to enjoy bath time. Bathing can be done any time that's convenient to you, but a lot of parents find that a nice, warm, relaxing bath is an integral part of their bedtime routine. Babies do tend to become more relaxed after a bath and usually will sleep a little better after one. Bathing right after a feeding is not recommended and neither is trying to bathe a hungry baby. A baby that has just been fed will be more likely to spit up while being handled so much. Before beginning the bath, be sure that you will have plenty of uninterr...
