Journal Journal: Enjoy A Joyful Life

This article was transshipped by Sunny. I hope you enjoy a joyful life. Joie de vivre. We all know people whose engagement with life can only be described as joyful. Fittingly, nature rewards these happy-go-lucky types: Being optimistic in middle age increases life span by at least 7.5 years--even after accounting for age, gender, socioeconomic status, and physical health, according to a large Yale University survey. What's behind their hardiness: They minimize the destructive effects of stress. "Of course, optimists get stressed," says David Snowdon, a professor of neurology at the University of Kentucky who studies aging. "But they automatically turn the response off much more quickly and return to a positive mental and physical state." Here are four habits that longevity experts say are at the heart of a sunny disposition--and that you can adopt, too. 1. THEY WORK THEIR CELL PHONES Perhaps your neighborhood gossip is on to something: All that chitchat keeps her plugged into a thriving social network--and people who socialize at least once a week are more likely to live longer, keep their brains sharp, and prevent heart attacks. One reason: "Just talking on the phone to a friend has the immediate effect of lowering your blood pressure and cortisol levels," says Teresa Seeman, PhD, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at UCLA. "Our research shows that having good long-term relationships provides as many physical benefits as being active or a nonsmoker." Make the effort to connect with the friends you already have. Call now, and before you hang up, schedule a lunch date--personal contact is even better. 2. THEY EXPRESS GRATITUDE (WITHIN REASON) Buoy yourspirits by recording happy events on paper, your computer, or a PDA. People who write about all the things they are thankful for are optimistic about the upcoming week and more satisfied overall with their lives, according to a University of California, Davis, study. They also feel physically stronger. "It's hard to be bitter and mad when you're feeling grateful," says Sonja Lyubomirsky, PhD, author of the upcoming book, "The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want." But don't overdo it. Women who kept a gratitude journal only once a week got a bigger boost in happiness than those asked to record their good fortune three times a week. Find the frequency that works for you - giving thanks shouldn't feel like a chore. 3. THEY'RE RANDOMLY KIND Do you performfive acts of kindness in any given day? That's the number of good deeds that boosts your sense of well-being and happiness, according to research by Lyubomirsky. Your karmic acts can be minor and unplanned - giving up your seat on the bus; buying an extra latte to give to a coworker. You'll find that the payback greatly exceeds the effort. "You see how much you're appreciated and liked by others," she says. Be sure to keep up the good work: When Lyubomirsky asked her study subjects to space their five good deeds over the course of a week, the actions started to seem routine and lost some of their therapeutic effects. But don't fret if you can't make the quota daily. "Being spontaneously kind also delivers rewards," she says. 4. THEY REAPPRAISE THEIR LIVES Yes, you can rewrite history--and feel better about yourself in the bargain. Set aside a little time each week to write about or record--or even just mentally revisit--an important event in your past. Reflecting on the experience can reshape your perception of it, as well as your expectations for the future, says Robert N. Butler, MD, president of the International Longevity Center-USA in New York City. When creating this "life review," you get to list all your accomplishments--an instant self-esteem booster. Organize your historical review by epochs: your postcollege years, early marriage, career, motherhood. Subdivide each section into triumphs, missteps, and lessons for the future. It's helpful to look at the bad times as well as the good. Perhaps now that a few years have passed, you'll be able to see how that breakup or failed job opportunity opened other doors and finally forgive yourself--and your ex-boyfriend or would-be boss. "Even if a memory is painful, it's good to work through it," says Butler. "If you can come to terms with past events, you'll be better able to handle tough times down the road." So be honest, but also go easy on yourself. Remember: You are the heroine in this tale. The Best Kind of Pessimist If you're an irritable sort who thinks of your eternally cheery neighbor as a delusional Pollyanna, are you doomed to poor health? Not if you're an active pessimist, a feisty spirit who loves to complain, criticize, and generally mix it up with others--but then takes action. "Active pessimists do battle with life. Being that engaged is actually good for them and can provide some of the same benefits that optimists enjoy," says Toni Antonucci, PhD, director of the Life Course Development Program of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. Passive pessimists, on the other hand, feel paralyzed by gloom, have given up on themselves and life, and will likely live fewer years because of their bummer attitude

Journal Journal: Do you want to lost weight?

Research shows that a person needs to burn around 2,000 to 3,000 calories from physical activity every week to control body weight. That works out to be about 60 to 90 minutes per day. Shorter amounts, such as 30 minutes of walking, will improve your health, but are unlikely to lead to significant decreases in body fat or weight loss in a relatively short period of time. If 60 to 90 minutes a day sounds like a lot of exercise, it is. But you can spread it out: little 15-minute bouts of walking throughout your day count, too. If you are regularly active and take the stairs instead of the escalator or pick a farther spot in the parking lot, for example, you can easily accumulate an hour of more of low- to moderate-intensity activity. Of course, if most of your activity involves sitting on a couch or in front of your computer, unless you are making a concerted effort to get up and move every hour, it may be hard to fit in a full 90 minutes per day. Theoretically, 3,500 calories equals 1 pound of fat. So if you walk around 60 minutes per day, you can lose 30 pounds in about seven months. You can speed up the weight loss by making small calorie reductions in your diet (for example, saying "no" to regular desserts or using skim instead of whole milk). If you are not yet fit enough to do a lot of exercise, take it one step at a time. Start with 10-minute sessions and add a few minutes per week. Most important, wrap your mind around the idea that you need to be active for the rest of your life. Walking may melt off the weight you want to lose now, but if you stop moving once that extra heft's gone, it'll soon be back. If you want to lose weight and don't want to move, I recommend the slim No.1 to you. It is very helpful to lose weigh and no side effect. Please visit www.yjx888.com to learn.

Journal Journal: How to improve the libido for woman.

Another area for research is the use of Viagra for women. An early trial found the drug safe but not beneficial for healthy postmenopausal women. More research is under way, and other drugs are being developed for sexual dysfunction in both genders please enter . The FDA has already approved a hand-held battery-powered clitoral stimulator for women with sexual dysfunction. Postmenopausal women who do not take hormone therapy (and with research showing more harm than good, most should not) develop vaginal dryness, which can make intercourse unpleasant or even painful. So a simple place to start would be a nonprescription vaginal lubricant such as Replens. If that doesn't help, your should ask yourself if you might be feeling subtle stress or unhappiness or if you may be reacting to personal, marital, or family conflicts. Ther doctor may be able to help you sort out possible physiological and psychological issues. Discuss the problem with you partner frankly, but be patient and supportive, always looking for mutually satisfactory ways to achieve intimacy and express love and affection.

Journal Journal: Why do you lose interest in sex ?

Doctors have learned a lot about the male sexual response in the sex medicine era (such as Viagra, wodibo), but there is less information about female sexuality. Menopause signals an abrupt drop in female hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, but that shouldn't affect the female sex drive. In fact, libido depends on testosterone, the male hormone, in both men and women. Testosterone levels are very much lower in women than men, but they drop even lower as menopause approaches, then remain stable during and after menopause as the adrenal glands continue to produce small amounts of male hormones. Still, some women are testosterone deficient and might benefit from testosterone therapy. Unfortunately, however, data are scant, and much more research is needed to learn if testosterone is safe and effective -- and if it is, which women should receive it and what dose and preparations are best. At present, those answers are a long way off.

Journal Journal: Share some hortative sentences with you.

Share the Five Balls of Life with you. Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How? Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. Don't shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going. Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily. Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that's why we call it "he Present"?
