Keeping a Gratitude Journal

 As we embark on a new year, it's natural to feel motivated to set goals and resolutions. While it's important to be ambitious, it's also important to be realistic in your planning. Before setting new goals, take some time to reflect on the ones you set for yourself last year and evaluate your progress. This will help you set attainable goals for the coming months.

Set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals to help you stay focused and motivated. Create a plan that includes specific action steps and deadlines to help you stay on track and make progress toward your goals.

One thing you can do to stay motivated and improve your mood is to start a gratitude journal. Each day, make a point to write down at least three things you are thankful for and one thing you would like to work on improving. Don't feel overwhelmed by trying to tackle big goals right away – start small, such as committing to not eating heavy meals after 9 pm for example. Practicing gratitude helps to lift your spirits, and focusing on areas of self-improvement can help you stay motivated to make positive changes in your life.

How Couples Can Resolve Loss of Income

Family's finances can become complicated when one member of the family is out of work. One of the parties is then responsible for caring for the rest of the family. There are three scenarios that can cause this to occur. The first aspect is the general unemployment state. This is the easiest part of the process because at least there is still the possibility that they will find employment regardless of how long it takes. Second, it is a result of long-term illness or permanent disability. Even though there is still a possibility that they may return to work, these are definitely trying times for the party left behind to care for the other party. Finally, if the other party passes away, this is the final scenario. In all of the above situations, it is essential for couples, whether they are already married or intending to marry, to prepare in advance, just in case anything happens to them. Fortunately, all of these risks can be insured. Do not wait for something bad to happen before...

Dreams Come True

Many times in our journey through life we shift grounds on possibilities. Many times we have this great dream with "high belief", optimism and are so certain that nothing could stop us from achieving them but after a few circumstances ( or passage of time), we soon give up on those dreams. All the optimism soon die down. All the beliefs and high hopes are thrown away and most times we settle for mediocrity. The man that succeeds is the man who holds on till the end. The one who hopes against hope!   The one despite his circumstances or little success, maintains his confessions and positive attitude towards his dreams and aspirations. This one is not worried about failing (or should I say he doesn't care). He is determined in his mind that even if his dreams do not come through, he will keep believing! For some of us there's no going back to our resolve for the good life, the dreams we hold in our heart day in day out. Even if we've got several "NOs", we ...
