So You Had a Bad Day

Bad days happen to the best of us. It can be so hard to get out of a funk sometimes. It can literally change your day and ultimately change your life. Negative situations and people can adversely alter your mood at their whim until you learn your go-to moves. Your go-to moves are they things you do to change your mood, promote positive energy, and increase your joy. Whether it is yoga, your favorite movie, t.v. show, or singing along to your favorite song; having a go-to response to a negative situation, moment, or mood is much needed for living a happy life. While we are human and are very much entitled to our feelings as they come, when they are hurt, disappointed, or rejected it should be your goal to be powered by a positive perspective. Instead of dwelling on the problem, mishap, stumble, or dreadful circumstance, focus your energy on the solution if there is one, and when there is not, find acceptance and as quickly as possible, let it go. The only thing you have power over is you. Be the best you you can be and maintain your positive energy. No matter how awful the situation may seem, acknowledge that it comes with a valuable lesson. At the very least your circumstance was meant to expand your growth and teach you something. You will ultimately benefit from every experience if you take away the lesson you are suppose to gain from it. A positive perspective puts a spin on any negativity by first embracing that it is only there to challenge you to be better. Resolve to smile more often, think pleasant thoughts, and be grateful for the blessings in your life. When negativity comes for you put up a fight. If you are a nature person, go for a walk. If you love to laugh, watch a funny movie. If children bring you joy, offer to babysit for a friend (now that is spreading the joy around). Do whatever it is you need to do to stay in the best and most positive place possible. That said, cheer up, be the sunshine in your life, and brighten your own day.

Job Seeker: Tips and Tricks to Getting the Call

I know how difficult it is to be on the hunt for a job. You have to practically sleep with the boss-to-be just to get an interview in this economy. Well, if you have more integrity than showing a little boob to your potential employer, here are a few tips to help you stand out from the rest of the pack. So you're in the trenches of job-hunters and your phone just won't ring. How do you get noticed amongst the hundreds of other applicants? Well, you must understand the plight of your potential employer. With so many people unemployed these days, they are literally looking for a needle in a haystack. While the stack of applications flood their desks, acknowledge that you are hardly anything more than another name on a piece of paper. Most employers have the same view of applications- they're pretty much photocopies of each other, but the papers that accompany that application can make all the difference between having a job and still waiting on one. Let's talk about t...

Getting from MS. to MRS.

Usually I post about things that cater to no particular gender, however, this one right here is for the ladies. Fellas, I have not forgotten about you, and will definitely have little something for you at a later date. ;) Now, let's get down to business. First things first, you need to understand the most typical reasons why men usually will not commit in the first place. These reasons have nothing to do with you. These are issues that would be there no matter who he was dating. Simply put, most of them are waiting on the 'bigger, better, deal'- a fatter booty, a cuter face, slimmer waist, good hair, etc. What they don't realize is that waiting on the next best thing turns into anything with a pulse really fast. It will seem as if it happened overnight and then all of a sudden they became 'that dude'. We've all seen him- either at the club or in the grocery store, you can spot 'that dude' from a mile away- middle-aged, probably balding or practical...

It forces you to really determine what you ar...
