Positive thinking
Is there any power to positive thinking?
Yes, Positive thinking makes us optimistic about life. Positive thinking makes us see life in a different view that makes us ignore the worst situations of our lives and look at the positive side of it. People who are negative, most likely to keep thinking and stress about the situation and never take any steps forward. Positive thinker would keep moving with is life, and look for positive opportunities to make life better. I believe positive thinking minimizes depression, and stress. For instance a positive thinker who just gets out of a relationship would say this is hard to take, but I will get through this. Even though I miss my partner but I have my family and friends. Compared to Someone who has a negative attitude, would say, I will never get over this. Without my partner, I can’t seem to do anything right. Positive thinking can uplift our mood; and makes us feel better of ourselves and the situation.
Being positive can lead you to achieve your goals. A person that never quits on his goal, and has positive mind set, has a great chance to achieve his/her goal. Even though people doubted his ability, but, the positive mind set drives him to be successful. When I was young people used to say I was too skinny to play soccer with the big boys, but that never stopped me play with them. I got pushed, tackled very hard but I had that a positive mentally set to prove them wrong and play with any whom I wanted to play with, not because of my size. Now I play with no fear, I play any strong guys. I didn’t stop playing because people said things to make me stop.
Positive thinking drives someone to be highly motivated to be successful. Positive thinking helps you build a healthier character.

Laughter has positive outcomes on our health system, psychologically and physically.
“Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health.” (Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D.)We express our emotion of joy by loud burst of noise that comes from our lungs that we called laughter. Laughter is an emotion that has positive outcomes on our health system, psychologically and physically. People who are happier in their daily lives have a healthier heart that cutting the risk of diseases, and lower their stress level, and reduce physical pain and emotional pain as well.
Laughter helps the immune system fight off diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Laughter might seem just a normal gesture that we do almost each and every day, but laughter can help prevent hot blood pressure. History has shown that people who are in risk of high blood pressure are those who are intense, stress almost all the time, and don’t appreciate humor as much. History also shown that high blood pressure and diabetes rise with age. Most Diabetic and High blood pressure patients are victim to the disease due to the fact that the life stages they are in. The intense, stressful life style doesn’t allow them to laugh as they used to because of the circumstances they found they selves in. The good of laughing is that it helps the body system to cope with certain diseases that may develop in the future. According to helpguide.org, “Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.”People should laugh more, even it means laughing alone because “laughing is the best medicine”, but laughing with a group is more effective because you will find more fun laughing with someone.
Furthermore, Laughing reduces stress level. We challenged by life each and every day but a laugh makes everything seems alright. Anger, Frustration, disappointment has negative effects on us psychologically. Reggie Wells once commented on her laughter- yoga program by saying “a stress lifted from my soul.” Sometimes we feel like the world is against us when we experience stress. Laughter blocks the effect of stress because it makes you forget about your problems and reminded you that things aren’t as bad as they appear. I had a friend named Cole who went on Katt William who is one of the funniest African American Comedian. My friend for most of the time all he talks about is how bad life is treating him, how much stress his having of not able to take care of his daughter like he wants to .One day I suggested to go to see the Katt William show, he agreed .The following day I met him he was so happy and telling jokes. He told me, “My life is not that bad, I have a wonderful daughter.”He seemed very happy, energetic and less worry about life. Laughter helps him get over to the depression and the bad thoughts he had not being able to provide for his daughter and focus on the positive side of his life. As most of us know that stress is negative factor that can lead to heart attack, or general death. One best solution to reduce those risks by creating an environment that make you laugh, social support can be helpful.
In addition, laughter allows a person to forget about physical pain and emotional pain as well. According to the experts laughter “relaxes the muscles”. Laughter also makes you forget about your emotional pain. I asked my psychology professor “is happiness led to a healthier you?”She responded, “Of course, I have my cousin who is dealing with the lost of her grandfather, she goes to Yoga laughing club to help her get her mind out of the situation.”The possessor told me that going to the Yoga laughing club helped her with the emotion difficulty t hat she is facing. Laughter helps us to step away from the pain that we are feeling and look at the positive side of life, and enjoy the moment. According to psychologist Charles Schaefer, ‘adults who act happy (broad smile; hearty laugh) for a minute a day are likely to elevate their mood. ’Base on Charles Schaefer observation I can easy say that a laughter affect our health because if someone is always in a bad mood is certainly not helping his/her blood flowing, this may lead to high blood pressure in late stages of life. Laughter helps us fight against physical pain without even realizing it. One time I hurt my knee from a high school game, I was in a lot of pain, and I was unable to continue the game. While the team was in the bus back home, we were celebrating, making jokes, and laughing very hard I almost forgot my knee was injured. While I was getting up from the bus I started to feel the pain once again. Laughter is a powerful tool that takes you out of the hard times you are in, and uplift your mood to forget about the pain.
In conclusion, we laugh because it is ability to most of us was born with. Laughter have a great influence on how health. Most of us don’t practice laughter as we should have either alone or socially but it is a very important tool to maintain a healthier life style. Laughter helps to reduce the risk of diseases, reduce stress, and get the mind off pain. I encourage laughing more and don’t be too intense of daily life challenges. Remember a simple laugh is the best medicine to our health.

Cultivating a happier relationship that last longer and healthier.
“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.” (Elizabeth Barrett Browning).Romantic relationships that take times to grow usually are successful. Cultivating a happier romantic relationship almost guarantee longer and healthier relationship. We cultivate a happier and longer relationship by knowing your core-self, accepting and knowing your partner, created a stronger bond than “Finding” relationships.
Knowing your core-self is very important in a romantic relationship. Knowing who you are, your internal characteristics. Having a clear idea of how patient or how is frustrated you can be may avoid any conflict in a relationship or should you have started that relationship in the first place. In the book of Happier, Lord Byron mentioned, “The core self comprises our deepest and most stable characteristic - our character." If you are in love with someone would like that person to know who you really are from the inside. First you need to know who you are. you need to know your behavior , and your personality. For instance I had a friend named Terry, he was in a romantic relationship but his partner didn't feel too comfortable around him. She didn't know much about what terry interested in. May be because Terry himself didn't have any idea of what he wanted in life and what his core self was. He was someone who lost trying to find himself. In the process of trying to find himself, the girl friend was struggling to find to know who is partner internal characteristics were. This relationship may not last long, if Terry doesn’t get to know his core self soon. She might feel too much of a struggle and choose to call it quit.
Knowing and accepting your romantic partner is something that I suggest any one who looking for a long term relationship and healthy relationship to practice. Accepting your mate bad habits is something that we should work on in relations, because everyone has bad habits. If you cannot accept the person for he or she is there will be always be negative feeling floating around. Knowing your partner is also an important factor to a healthy relationship. It gives the couple a sense of how you feel and bring the two a closer and understanding in the relationship. In the book of Happier, Lord Byron stated,"To be loved for our wealth, power, or fame is to be loved conditionally; to be loved for our steadfastness intensity, or warmth is be loved unconditionally.”Loving someone for who he or she is, bring you more closely to that person and more emotionally attach. Instead of loving that person for his wealth, you love he or she for the person for his or her kindness, her honesty, or creativity. Although wealth and power may disappear, but internal characteristics will always be there. I knew a neighbor named Cole, who had girlfriend who didn’t really like him for the person he was, but what he can do for her. Cole knew people from the music industry and she wants to be a part of the music industry so she used him to get what she wanted. She may have some feelings for him, but her love wasn’t unconditional love.
Cultivating a happier romantic relationship develops a stronger chemistry than "finding" relationship. Knowing your core self and accept each other flaws and the good habits create a bond that “Finding" relationship is almost impossible to reduplicate. A finding relationship is more likely to go to the club to find Mr. or Mrs. Right. The problem with the finding relationship is that there's no such mate as the right fit. There will be differences between the two people, although it has not shown in the first couples week or months. My parent is developed a strong chemistry through the years but I can easily say that they didn’t start as the greatest fit. They grew their relationship through times although they are very different, but accept each other differences and ignore the concept of “Finding” relationships.
In conclusion, cultivate a happier romantic relationship by knowing who you are gives a sense of what type of person you want to associate with. By knowing who your partner is, develop an unconditional love. Accepting your partner bad habits can make relationship last longer and healthier, and last cultivating a healthy relationship we built a strong chemistry than finding relationship. A relationship that last longer and healthier.

Cultivating and findings
People often foreshadow relationship partners wondering if she or he is Mr. or Mrs. right. They picture their potential partners as what they want person to be.”Finding” is the ideal partner or relationship you believe that person can be .A Friend of mine is looking for someone to spend the rest of his life with. He spent a lot of time and money looking for his mate. Once founded that mate he wasn’t satisfy. He believes they were too different. He believes that she didn’t have the quality he was looking for therefore they weren’t compatible. Cultivating a relation takes times, patience and also accepts the other partner differences and work at it to grow a more healthy relationship. I believe having a cultivate relationship give the mates the opportunity to know the other much better, and accept their good habits as well as bad.
Core self
A friend might like you for what you process but not for who you are. There are some people who are in relationships are interested in the money or what the person can do for them than what is the person internal characteristics. For instance girl friend who doesn’t know her boy friend’s core self attend to show less emotion if anything a happen to him. Knowing your mate care self can improve communication in a relation. If you know your partner like to tease and make jokes, when he says anything that you might get offended. Knowing that he’s some that type of individual that like to joke around ,and you might take the thing that he said less offended because of the kind of person that you know he is.
Spending More Time with Loved Ones
Lately I haven’t spend that much times with my best friend .My best friend named Yoann Karl is someone I met in LaGuardia community college. When we first met we clicked instantly. He had a lot in common so everything comes naturally. Because I feel so comfortable around ,I spend a lot of times hanging out ,play games, enjoy life .Each and every single day we had a do-list. He’s someone that I considered as a big brother. He didn’t have no family members around, so he also considered as the only family member that he had in this foreign country called United States. Spending time with him got us closer and we understand each other like we were in each other shoe. One day he told me that, “I will have to go back to France because my passport is not valid anymore.”I wasn’t too concern when he said it, but as days goes by I realized there weren’t much time left. I spent every day like it was like the last day. We didn’t want every day to end without doing our daily routine either play video games, go play soccer, or going out to eat dinner. Yoann last day, it was very emotional, he cried and I felt like I lost one my family member. He said to me” it’s not the city that matter to me, it moment that we had ,too bad that we can’t do it no more. I wish I can take all the people that matter to me and bring them to Paris.”
