Article from health.com: The secrets to a super-happy winter

Here is a nice article about beating the winter blues from health.com:

Freezing temps? Check. Gray skies? Check. Crabby mood? Check again. But not for long!

It may be gloomy outside, but your outlook doesn't have to be:

"There are simple things you can do to stay positive," says Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, and author of "The How of Happiness."

"It's important to keep your mood up because it can help you avoid everything from gaining extra pounds to feeling lethargic."

Try these techniques to stay sunny all winter long -- no trip to the Bahamas required!

Step #1: Winterize your workout

It can be tough to muster the motivation to make it to the gym when the temperature is below zero. But "exercise can boost your mood, and you need that lift even more during the winter," says Patricia Laguna, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton.
If you have S.A.D., you're hibernating Laguna suggests that you give yourself some incentive. Jot down an exercise schedule at the beginning of the week, varying the type of sweat fest to keep it interesting; then reward yourself with a small treat, like a mani-pedi, when you stick to it.

And consider braving the elements: Research shows that exercising outside can lift your spirits, but if the weather won't cooperate, keep a go-to exercise DVD on hand.

Step #2: Eat your way upbeat

Try to resist the call of fatty, sugary comfort fare. Highly refined carbs and sugar can wreak havoc on your blood sugar level, which can leave you feeling cranky, says Elizabeth Somer, R.D., author of "Eat Your Way to Happiness."

Some comfort foods, however, can double as healthy pick-me-ups, especially if they contain mood-boosting nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, good carbohydrates (think whole grains and vegetables), protein, and B vitamins.

Sommers suggests oatmeal for breakfast, because it contains fiber-rich whole grains that increase serotonin, a feel-good chemical in your brain, and it steadies your blood sugar level. For dinner, toss omega-3-rich salmon with whole-wheat pasta.

Step #3: Get your group on

Bears may hibernate, but we humans weren't meant to hide away in our dens all winter. In fact, socializing is a very powerful way to boost your mood, says Dr. Esther Sternberg, M.D., author of "The Balance Within."

Instead of holing up in your house until spring, set aside some time each day for a "buddy moment," whether that's grabbing a quick lunch with a co-worker or meeting your sister for a Spinning class. Establishing "get together" routines also helps, Sternberg adds: Start a wine-tasting club, or invite friends over for a dance-workout party.

Step #4: Relish winter's pleasures

Hot toddies! Warm woolen mittens! Ice-skating! Taking the time to savor the most amazing things about this season can make you more content, Lyubomirsky says.

"When you enjoy rather than dread what's around you, your optimistic thoughts will start trumping your negative ones," she explains.

Next time your mind starts to drift toward your numb toes and nose, refocus on the positive -- you'll be able to sip tea in front of a crackling fire as soon as you get home.

Step #5: Anticipate a great escape

There's not a whole lot to look forward to after all the holiday hubbub. (Presidents Day? C'mon!) So start hatching a scheme to skip town now: Planning a trip -- or even just thinking about one in the future -- can make you happier, according to a study in the journal Applied Research in Quality of Life.

If you can spare the time and cash for a getaway, book one ASAP. If not, start researching a late-spring or summer expedition, because even thinking about it will be magic for your mood.

Stay on top of flight deals on airfarewatchdog.com, and sign up for private sale travel sites like vacationist.com and jetsetter.com for insider prices.

Step #6: Dress for the weather

Sure, stuffing yourself into a down parka can make you feel (and, OK, look!) like the abominable snowman. But staying warm is a surprising secret to feeling merry.

"Winter's cold can make you feel sluggish because of the increased energy demand on your body," says Dr. Vincent Pedre, M.D., a clinical instructor of medicine at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York City.

For the easiest spirit-lifter, bundle up; don't leave home without your scarf, gloves, and hat.

Step #7: See the light

Dim days got you down? A lack of vitamin D could be to blame. Your body produces D -- which has been shown to help regulate mood -- when your skin is exposed to UVB light.

But in the winter, the sun's rays aren't strong enough in the northern half of the United States to power D production. Ask your doc for a simple blood test to see if you're deficient, and talk to her about taking a supplement if you are.

Beyond the D factor, sunlight increases levels of serotonin and also works to suppress melatonin, a chemical that makes you drowsy, explains Norman Rosenthal, MD, author of Winter Blues.

To get your fill, consider investing in a light box, which can help combat sluggishness. And be sure to pop outside whenever you do spot some rays.

Do you have a lack of will?

Why will some people be successful and some will not?  Vince Lombardi said "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will."

If losing weight is one of your goals, do you have the will to succeed in getting healthy and fit?  Are you going to exercise and eat healthy?  If you have the will, you are in the right mindset to achieve these goals. Make the decision to go after your goals and it'll carry you through all the steps needed to reach that goal.

Ways to improve credit score.

Ways to improve credit score.

Your financial decisions can effect your credit score. Your credit score is important because it could affect your ability to get a loan and how much interest you'll have to pay. It could also affect getting insurance or even getting a job (potential employers can look at it). You can get free reports from each of the 3 bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion yearly. Go to annualcreditreport.com which will link you to these sites. It is best to choose 1 every 4 months to keep a look out for any red flags. So, how can you raise your score? Here a few tips:

Pay your bills on time. Don't let anything get turned over to a collection agency.

Don't max out your credit lines. Don't let your balance exceed 50% of the max credit limit.

Apply for a credit limit increase. That will make it easier to do the above.

Have at least one credit card account in excellent standing.

Don't apply for store cards.

Try one of these tension-tamers:

1. Walk. Get just 2 hours of brisk activity a week to see an improvement in your mental health.  The benefits will be even better if you can walk outside.

3. Turn off all the noise such as TV's, radios and your cellphone to help quiet your mind.

4. Eat better. Make sure you get all your vitamins & minerals for optimal mental health.

7. Try yoga. Stretching and deep breathing will make you feel great

How we become failures and how we become successful

Jim Rohn says a failure is a few errors in judgement repeated every day. Doing one bad habit may not affect you the one day, but it can add up without you noticing right away. You can eat one piece of cake and not really affect your health. But, have 3 pieces of cake a day for 3 months, you might notice you are carrying around several extra pounds and you're not feeling as well you should. The secret of success is a few good habits practised every day. Each day they'll gather momentum and one success will lead to another. One good habit can also affect other areas in your life because it'll inspire you to improve in other areas of your life. So for example, if you improve your health, that success will inspire you and you might be more motivated to improve your finances.
