I recently read an article on depression being rife in our aged care facilities. The article went on to say how medical researchers found that aged care workers working in the facility were unaware as to the extent that it was happening and that even elderly people are coving it up as they are somewhat embarrassed, feel that it is a part of getting older (which psychologically it is not) and did not want to cause a fuss.

Expressing your emotions can reduce feelings of fear.

It’s a fact that the right amount of stress can be healthy. But when good stress turns bad, it’s good to know where you can find stress relief.

Willpower, like any muscle of the body, responds to stimuli. Just as bicep curls increase the strength of the biceps, exercising your willpower will result in it becoming stronger. The more you practice self-discipline and control, the easier these behaviours will become, and the less likely you will be to self-sabotage your efforts.

It seems that eyes do not reveal whether a person is lying or telling the truth.

You know what respect means? …it means happiness.
