1O ways to kill your moods

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI just finished reading an article on blog and was wondering how many of us are actually putting an effort in killing the bad moods.

To be honest, I am not a moody person, but I did get through some hard situations and I have done nothing but kill them and it works. Is a fight with yourself and it can take time to see some good results in your behavior and your feelings.

Changes are good; good changes are very good and welcome.

Some of us are born happy, patient, indulgent, very understanding to situations and people, but some others are not.

Moods and negative emotions can ruin your entire day, even little ones and you don’t even realize when you’ve just allowed yourself to become one cranky person.

Once you’ve taken that path, is really easy to lose control.

Everything you feel will reflect into your behavior and affect people around you. Next thing you know, people start “crossing eyes” to you and even avoid you.

The Dumb Little man points out three things that i really enjoy doing day and night: smile, laugh and make people happy.

2. Smile. Smile at everyone you meet today. It’s OK to fake it at first if you need to, but pretty soon it will be real and it will make you feel good. As you feel yourself becoming happy, remember not to fight it!

3. Laugh. Tell some jokes. Seek out jokes, funny people, and funny videos. Be silly. Crack yourself up. Just start laughing. That alone can make you laugh. And when you laugh you release your body’s own natural opiates: endorphins which make you feel good. Here is a link to more info on Laughing Yoga where all you do is laugh!

6. Make Someone Else Happy. Who could you cheer up today? Who could you thank or compliment? Who could you send a quick handwritten note to? You can really have fun with this, so go ahead and do it!

I can laugh of my own pains, my own embarrassing situations…you name it, i will poke fun on it and even have instant headaches from so much laughing.

How many of us are throwing away with intention a genuine smile or a joke to brighten someone’s day?

I do!

His number 5 - “Count your blessings” - is really something that we should all do.

And no, is not cheesy to be grateful about the good things in your life, or even the bad ones that if they didn’t happen you wouldn’t be where you are today…supposing you’re on a good path at the moment.

Can you count your blessings without having to think about them too long?

Anyway…The article is pretty simple and to the point ( kudos for the little man) and you should go and have a read - .

British the most spied-on people in western world

BRITISH people are now more spied upon by their political leaders than any other population in the free world, according to an official report.

The linkage of databases and surveillance systems mean people are now having their movements tracked, habits profiled and photograph taken hundreds of times a day. The findings, in a report compiled on behalf of Richard Thomas, the information commissioner, raised concerns that Britain is “waking up in a surveillance society”.

Thomas said: “Many of these schemes are public sector driven, and the individual has no choice over whether or not to take part. People are being scrutinized and having their lives tracked, and are not even aware of it.

“They don’t know, for instance, that a record is kept of every Internet site they visit. They don’t realize that when identity cards come in, there will be a record of their movements and every time they have engaged with any public service.”

And if you want to know something even more scarier than that,then .
