Drugs that can make you happy...

First of all I would like to attempt you considering the word that I used in this post. No, I'm not advertising bad habits or writting anything about addiction or any bad things considering illegal drugs. Keeping it PG-13 I want to write about experience I lately faced searching for the drugs that could make you happier. So, I typed a phrase "Drugs that can make you happy" on Google when definition of word "Ecstasy" suddenly popped up on a first line of results. So far, Urban 75.com says "Ecstasy is a powerful stimulant and mood changer that speeds up your body system and alters your perception of the world" but what does it really means!? Can it make you happy!? I mean it got a really cheap price and mostly lasts up from three to six hours, that's exactly what people looking for! They are looking for cheap prices and good amount of time in the "paradise". Looking at side effects we can say that this ILLEGAL and STRONG drug make you talk bullshit, do wild things and forget about them next day. Health risks section on this website couldn't encourage me neither. Just think about it... Are we really looking for that? Is your life is really boring to do that? I mean it's understandable that you as a human want to try new feelings but there are lots of people could enjoy life not even trying ecstasy even once.  So far, in this journey of finding the "real" happiness, ecstasy is sadly out of my list.

I still got something interesting for you that I found long time ago (almost forgot about it ;)). It's a flash game made by students of The University of Utah including all information you want to know about different types of illegal drugs. Kids stay out of drugs, their parents drive safely, "livin' positive" ;)

Game is here folks, livin' positive ;)

Science says...

Checking out "Yes! magazine" I stopped on Interactive Graphic that shows "10 Things Science Says Will Make You Happy". Interested in answering philosophical question "what makes us happy", father-son researchers Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener, Stanford psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky and ethicist Stephen Post have studied people all over the world to find out how things like money, attitude, culture, memory, health, altruism, and our day-to-day habits affect our well-being. For me, research showed some things that most people wouldn't follow, but hey, we not perfect, but I believe at least, we have to try. Everybody can try because it's so simple. Let's quickly go through it together ;):

Savor Everyday Moments - Everyday life gives us different circumstances, sometimes you just don't see them ;)

Avoid Comparisons - I know that b**** Emily talked sh** about you in the bathroom, but hey, start the change in yourself first ;)


Put Money Low on the List - I think it's quite hard to do in our times, I would paraphrase it into: "Remember, you don't live for money."


Have Meaningful Goals - it says “As humans, we actually require a sense of meaning to thrive.” Get your life together and find you ;)


Take Initiative at Work - Creativity, creativity and creativity ;)


Make Friends, Treasure Family - That's what we do ;)


Smile Even When You Don’t Feel Like It - You think I put smileys automatically!? I really smile everytime I do it ;)


Say Thank You Like You Mean It - Just remember that some words are more than just sounds ;)


Get Out and Exercise - That's what I forgot about ;)


Give It Away, Give It Away Now! - Don't start giving all your stuff to people around you, but "Researcher Elizabeth Dunn found that those who spend money on others reported much greater happiness than those who spend it on themselves." Livin' positive ;)

Stressing over Valentine's...

Today one of my friends came to me and started to talk how stressful it was to be a single on Valentine's day. Being in her late teen's she has ended up not being in love for a year. Switching from one relationship to another, she would never think how it's to be lonely on St. Valentine, calling her mom, telling how she loves her. Just after she hung up the phone she said: "that's only person I can call right now".

I've been single for a years so I'm use to being lonely . . . But after years I've learned that you cannot disturb your own vibe by over stressing things, so what I suggested is to keep your flow, how they said "hope dies last"...

Valentines Day is a time to observe the ones you love . . not to observe love that you don't have. . . ;) livin' positive
