The Way to Happiness: A common sense guide to better living

A while ago I was exploring different philosophies and religions and came across a publication titled The Way to Happiness on a Scientology website. IN NO WAY am I claiming to be a scientologist or anything! I decided to request my free guide to see what it was all about. What I found, was a guide that could appeal to everyone, that does not preach one religion, nor is associated with a Scientology doctrine.

In order to prove to you that I am not extreme, radical, or crazy in any way, here is the explanation taken from the back of the booklet:

"This may be the first nonreligious moral code based wholly on common sense. It was written by L. Ron Hubbard as an individual work and is not part of any religious doctrine."

Yes, it was written by Hubbard, the scientologist guy, but when I read the guide, I found bits and pieces of wisdom that can be helpful to anyone, no matter what you believe in.
I've decided to share from each point, the important things that I took away from the booklet, in the hopes that others might find some knowledge as well.

I will update posts with each main point described and my favorite parts of them in the weeks/months to come. I hope you will enjoy them and take away something meaningful. Then maybe we can all add a little more happiness into our lives :)

Workout Time

Alright, so now that you've gone out and found a restaurant that serves banana's foster, or maybe even made your own, now what? I couldn't just let you sit there with that filling dessert in your stomach. It's workout time!

Now I know what you're thinking...I've already scrapped my New Year's Resolutions! Well, I have found the perfect workouts on YouTube that are designed to be easy, fast, and fun!

15 Minute Abs Workout by Sparkpeople (on YouTube here)

This one is awesome, and is designed to target your abs. Plus it goes by really fast! Try it, it's not that bad.

If that's not enough for you, add this second one to your routine.

10 Minute Cardio Kickboxing by sparkpeople (on YouTube here)



This one is guaranteed to make you sweat. If you can incorporate these into your day you are only taking up 25 minutes total! If you get bored of them just add music in the background for some excitement lol.

Good luck out there and get moving!

New Year's Resolutions

So every new year the good old topic of resolutions comes up. We convince ourselves that with a new year comes a fresh start that will allow us to accomplish things that we just couldn't before, whether it was due to a lack of time, effort, or the determinedness to stick with something.

So how about it people? Does this year feel especially productive to you? I know a New Year's resolution that I would like to have, mainly keeping up this blog at LEAST once a week, despite the fact that nobody reads it...

Has anyone actually had any success stories with resolutions? I mean, like keeping up with them for an entire year? If you do please share, maybe it will give all of us a confidence boost if we know it's possible.

Feel free to comment (Be the first! lol) and share your resolutions and we can all help each other to stay on track!

Good Luck Everyone!
