Health and happiness are both essential aspects of our lives, but it can be easy to let one take precedence over the other. We all lead busy lives, so putting our needs on the back burner can be easy. But there are ways you can help both your health and happiness levels rise by making small changes in your day-to-day life. Making some small positive changes in your life can not only help your physical health but your mental health as well. The good news is that there are a lot of ways you can be happier and healthier in your life. Here are three simple tricks that will make you feel healthier and happier.
The mind and the body are closely linked, and each can impact the other. You can improve your mental well-being by caring for your body, from working out to eating healthy foods. Exercising can help you sleep better and improve your self-esteem, which can lead to a happier, healthier you. Eating a healthy diet can also significantly impact your mental health. If you consistently eat foods that are bad for your body, you may have less energy and feel more lethargic throughout the day. It is also essential to meet with your doctor and dentist yearly for checkups to ensure that your body is healthy and you are not currently having any health issues.
Have a Consistent Sleep Schedule
Having enough sleep is essential for good mental and physical health. Getting consistent sleep every night is linked to better mental health, higher productivity, and improved mood. Getting enough sleep can be a challenge for lots of people, though. If you have trouble sleeping, there are many ways to improve your sleep quality, from making changes to your diet to using sleep aids like weighted blankets and earplugs. A consistent sleep schedule can significantly increase your chances of getting the right amount of sleep and improve your mental and physical health.
Find Time to Relax and Unwind
Being happy doesn’t just come from having a healthy body — it also comes from having a healthy mind. One of the easiest ways to improve your mental well-being is by finding ways to relax and unwind that work for you. It can be helpful to have a few different ways to relax built into your schedule. This way, you ensure that you always have time to relax, even with a busy schedule. You can be creative, meditate, or even spend time in nature to help calm your mind and allow you to decompress and unwind. Finding time to relax is essential for good mental and physical health, especially for people with busy schedules.
Conclusion
Improving your mental and physical health doesn’t have to be complicated. You can start living a healthier, happier life by taking care of your body, having a consistent sleep schedule, and finding time to relax and unwind. There are many more ways to improve your mental and physical health, but these are a great start. To feel healthier and happier, looking after your mental and physical well-being is essential.
In today’s world, confidence has become an important quality to have. Whether applying for a job, going on a date, or making new friends, having the right confidence level can help ease nervousness and make interactions much easier. Furthermore, having enough confidence can have numerous benefits in your life: it makes you more attractive to others, helps you take risks without fear of failure, and makes you believe in yourself. Being more confident might even lead to getting your dream job!
We often have thoughts that make us feel less confident than we are. An excellent way to check these thoughts is to write them down. After that, could you read them and decide how true they are? Doing this will help you feel more positive about yourself and will able to build up your confidence. As with everything in life, practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the easier it will be to catch and change your negative thoughts, and the more confident you will feel.
Exercise regularly
Exercising regularly has many benefits, and improving your confidence is one of them. Exercising regularly helps boost your mood and improves your self-esteem and ability to communicate with others. Exercising regularly can also help you sleep better and improve your focus, making you more productive at work.
Take time to care for yourself.
Taking time to care for yourself is essential in increasing your confidence. Taking care of yourself doesn’t just mean eating healthy and sleeping enough. It also means taking some time to relax and unwind. Taking time to relax and unwind can help you reduce stress, sleep better and improve your mood. This is important because stress and anxiety can reduce your confidence and prevent you from reaching your potential. Taking time to relax and unwind is something that everyone should do. It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as it helps you relax and unwind. Some examples include reading a book, meditating, or going for a walk. You should also ensure you are visiting your doctor and Dentist to discuss any health concerns you have or to help you improve the look of your teeth if this affects your confidence.
Learn from your mistakes
As with anything in life, making mistakes is inevitable. However, when it comes to confidence, errors are critical. Mistakes are what allow us to learn and grow as individuals. They allow us to understand our strengths and weaknesses and how to improve upon them. Experiencing failure and mistakes can be scary and can reduce your confidence. However, you can learn from your mistakes by paying attention to them. This will help you to understand what you did wrong and prevent you from making the same mistake again.
Make small changes regularly.
You don’t need to change your entire life to increase your confidence. Small changes, such as improving your diet, getting enough sleep, and taking up a new hobby, can significantly impact your confidence. Although these changes won’t make you instantly more confident, they will help you build your confidence over time. They will help you feel better, which will make you more confident.
Conclusion
Building up your confidence might seem like an impossible task. However, it’s not as hard as you might think. All you need to do is check your thoughts, exercise regularly, take time to care for yourself, learn from your mistakes and make small changes regularly. If you want to improve your confidence, you need to do things that make you feel good about yourself. You need to focus on the things you like about yourself and make sure you are surrounded by people who appreciate you for who you are.
Looking good and feeling good often go hand in hand. When you feel attractive, it can boost your confidence and make you feel better about yourself. This is why taking care of your appearance is important – not for others but, most importantly, for yourself! This blog post will discuss three things a positive appearance can do for your mental health.
If you feel good about the way you look, it will show in your confidence level. You’ll be more likely to approach people and strike up conversations. You’ll also be less likely to get nervous in social situations. All of these things can lead to improved mental health. Confidence is key when it comes to mental health. It shows in your interactions with others when you feel good about yourself. You’re more likely to approach people and strike up conversations. You’re also less likely to get nervous in social situations. All of these things can lead to improved mental health.
2. Feel More Upbeat.
When you look good, you often feel better about yourself. This can lead to a more positive outlook on life, which can, in turn, lead to improved mental health. Studies have shown that when people feel better about their appearance, they are more likely to have positive interactions with others and feel more confident in social situations. A positive appearance can also make you feel more physically comfortable. If you feel good about your appearance, you’re more likely to want to be active and take care of yourself. This can lead to improved mental health by increasing your endorphins (feel-good hormones) and helping you sleep better. In addition, a positive appearance can help reduce stress. If you feel good about the way you look, you’re less likely to feel self-conscious or anxious in social situations. This can lead to improved mental health by reducing your stress levels and helping you relax.
3. Feel More Motivated.
You will feel more motivated to get out and about if you look your best. This can lead to increased motivation in all areas of your life. If you feel good about your appearance, you’re more likely to want to take care of yourself and live a healthier lifestyle. For example, visiting a dentist can improve your self-esteem and make you feel better about yourself if you have bad teeth. Once you feel better, you will be more motivated to do things you enjoy and take care of your health. In addition, if you are overweight, making an effort to lose weight will improve your appearance and health. Your physical health and appearance have a significant link to your mental health; therefore, you must make an effort to improve both.
Taking care of your appearance can have a positive impact on your mental health. When you look good, you feel good. Don’t ever feel there is nothing you can do to change how you feel; there is always something you can do to improve your physical and mental health!
Thank you for all the great feedback on the Blogger Highlight series, I’ve enjoyed meeting each blogger and sharing their site with you. This week I highlight a new blogger, Sunny Daze Ahead.
The face behind the blog is… hard to put into words and words are “kinda” my thing. I am loud, I am outspoken, I am silly, I am sarcastic. I am wildly defensive of my loved ones. I have an anxious mind and I spend far too much time trying to keep my brain from spiraling into worst case scenarios. I work diligently to keep my mind a happy, optimistic place, which I have come to realize is not my mind’s natural habitat.
I spend almost all my time with my three dogs: Lucy, Brantley, and Zeppelyn, who I am convinced are the greatest beings on the planet. I probably love my parents TOO much, but I am blessed to share a very close friendship with both. I love a boy, I have loved the same boy for years now, I moved STATES for him, and honestly; home is where he is. Fine, his name is Matt, and he is most definitely TAKEN, so back off ladies. I have friends: close and far. Maybe they will make a cameo too.
You’ll never know what you’ll find on her blog and that’s the fun part.
In this fast-paced social media world, it can be difficult to find the time to look within or back in time. I hope you find these quotes or questions interesting. So glad you stopped by today!
Hi! So glad you are enjoying the Today in History each Sunday.

What a great day to celebrate and take the time to express our appreciation with an act of kindness to our friends.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read my blog, provide feedback and keep me educated with your posts.
International Day of Friendship was designated by the United Nations General Assembly (U.N.). On July 30, we step back and get thankful for these relationships worldwide, as they promote and encourage peace, happiness, and unity. The U.N. encourages governments, community groups, and other organizations to coordinate activities and events that celebrate the friendships that we keep close to us. Many events focus on reconciliation, bridging understanding and consensus, and finding comfort in those friendships that feel like home. Its important to wish them their birthday as well, Check out 100 Birthday Wishes for Your Best Friend.
We live in a tough world. Between miscommunications, mistreatment, lack of trust, discrimination, and cultural discord, prioritizing peace seemingly has less of a presence in the global society. There really is no reason for the world not to exist in some harmonious form. We have the United Nations to thank for helping to remind us all that there is some good in this world. We were first introduced to International Day of Friendship in 2011; this special day goes beyond connecting people and builds bridges among cultures, countries, and even ideologies.

I stumbled upon my diagnosis of Lyme Disease in 2013 after my Neurologist spent a year giving me every test she could to find the answer to my symptoms. When I say stumbled upon, I mean it. When she shook her head and referred me to a Rheumatologist, I decided to take to the Internet. I had all the test results, and every test was abnormal so I started searching for different combinations of my abnormal results. After a few attempts, I landed on the list of autoimmune illnesses that included Lyme.
I made the deduction of other illnesses based on the previous testing and the symptoms didn’t fit. After landing on Lyme, my research began. It took no time to figure out what was wrong.
This is the easiest part of having Lyme disease, from here it’s a nightmare to get treatment. First and foremost insurance companies don’t cover the cost of IV Antibody Therapy. The only cost covered by insurance was prescriptions. Thank goodness because the total cost would really blow your mind.
For 18 months we flew to Washington, DC every month to start a new protocol. Every appointment with my Lyme doctor cost 6K plus. Add that number up and you see how devastating the cost is.
We took out a home loan for the cost but not everyone is able to do that. None of the cost for my doctor visits or the treatments was covered by insurance.
My treatment ended in 2017, unfortunately, many new conditions were caused by Lyme that plague me today.
Today I thought about how long ago we took out the loan and what we still owe. We paid our house off over the weekend but it’s not paid for until this loan is paid. It’s not the same type of paid-off when you have a home loan.
It still chaps me that the CDC and insurance companies are turning their back on Lyme patients, even today!
Melinda was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, bipolar disorder and dementia.
A few years later, she launched her blog, Looking for the Light, to share her story, advocate for her causes and hopefully, help a few along the way.
Read her story below!
Hello Melinda, thank you for agreeing to talk to Carenity.
First of all, could you tell us more about yourself?
I’m a lively woman going on 60 years old who has been married to her sweetheart for 20 years. I love my blog, photography, helping others, advocating for my causes like mental health and chronic illnesses. And I can’t forget my two dogs.
You have several illnesses. Could you tell us which ones? When were you diagnosed with each of them? What were the first signs of each?
I have fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, bipolar disorder and dementia.
Lyme disease was very difficult to diagnose, it took me 1.5 years which is quick compared to many. It caused my fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and dementia. This was 2015.
As for my mental illness, I was diagnosed at 19 years old.
What is life like with fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, bipolar disorder and dementia? Do you receive comprehensive care, or do you see several specialists? How do you feel about your current management? What are your treatments?
Life can be a total challenge some days and not so bad others. One thing I believe in is self-care. This extra hour or so a day helps me get in touch with my body, to nourish it, unwind and help my body regenerate. I see several specialists and have a varied treatment plan. The treatment plan that can change the most is for my mental illness.
According to you or to the doctors, is there a link between your conditions?
Lyme disease was caused my fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and dementia. The rest have not been linked.
On a daily basis, which condition requires the most follow-up or is the most disabling? Why?
My mental illness requires the most attention because I must be aware of my moods throughout the day, take medication several times a day and keep my doctor informed if having a problem with medication.
Do you have a family history of any of your conditions?
I have a family history of dementia, but it was caused by a stroke.
Do you feel supported by your family and friends? Do they understand your daily life with the disease?
Yes! The key to that is taking my husband or another person with me to my critical appointments. That way I have two sets of ears, someone to take notes, who can mention a symptom I may have forgotten or help me clarify what the doctor is saying.
What is the impact of your conditions on your private and professional life? What misconceptions do you frequently hear about your so-called “invisible” diseases?
I don’t really hear anything about invisible illness, but my lifestyle doesn’t allow me to interact with many people. Personally, the biggest toll has been on my freedom and the intimacy with my husband.
Shortly after, you decided to launch your blog “Looking for the Light”. Why did you make this choice? What messages do you want to convey to your readers?
The mission of the blog was to share my story, advocate for my causes and hopefully help a few along the way. The key message I have for everyone is to keep moving forward.
What are your plans for the future?
Continue on as I’m already retired, work and family caused me to leave my career early.
Finally, what advice would you give to Carenity members who, like you, are affected themselves or have a loved one affected by one or many invisible chronic illnesses?
The key is understanding, if you care about the person, do your homework, learn about the illness. Don’t judge when they have to bow out or cancel plans. And if it’s a partner I highly recommend including them in your doctors’ appointments. This has helped me so much.
There’s no trying to repeat or ask questions about what the doctor said because they are right there and since they are hearing from the doctor’s mouth, you don’t have to tell them.
Any last words?
Be honest with yourself and your loved ones! There will be those that don’t listen, that’s their problem. Communicate how you’re doing without the complaining tone. If you’re struggling either physically or mentally you need to reach out. Both can cause depression.
Many thanks to Melinda for sharing her story with us on Carenity!
When many people think of car costs, the first thing that pops into their heads is the purchase price. That’s far from all you’ll have to pay for it, however. You’ll have to put quite a lot of money into maintaining it.
These car expenses add up quickly, especially with older cars. It can often seem like a money sink. Figuring out how to stop wasting money on your car can be difficult. Your car will need some TLC, but you might want to spend much money on it.
Thankfully, there are more than a few ways you can do so. While you’ll need to put some time into it, it’ll be more than worth the effort. Three particular ways are suggested, as they’re quick and easy ways to look after your car.
How To Stop Wasting Money On Your Car: 3 Top Ways
1. Buy Parts Online
Perhaps the most obvious way to spend less on your car is to buy auto parts online. These will usually be much more affordable than the ones you can get at a mechanic’s. Since they’ll be the exact same parts, there’s no reason not to take this route.
You could save quite a bit of money on this, especially if you’re able to replace any parts yourself. While this approach involves spending a bit of time waiting for parts, the savings are worth the wait.
2. Change The Air Filter Yourself
Your car’s air filter needs to be changed regularly. You could be surprised to hear that focusing on this is one of the better ways to figure out how to stop wasting money on your car. You can do this yourself, with the car owner’s manual showing you how and when to do so.
Buying the air filter online – as recommended above – lets you save a significant amount of money on the fix. Replacing the air filter doesn’t take much time. If you’re good with your hands, it should only take you a few minutes to do so.
3. Shop For Prices
As much as you could DIY many of your car repairs, there comes a point where you’ll need to hire a mechanic to take care of things. Many people simply go to the first mechanic they can think of – or the closest one to them – and stick with that. Doing this costs more than you’d think.
Instead of taking this approach, you should shop around for prices. Depending on the issue at hand – and several other factors – the mechanics mightn’t even need to see your car before giving you a quote. While this could vary when you get there, taking this approach gives you an idea of how much each mechanic costs.
Choosing a more affordable option helps you stop wasting money on your car.
How To Stop Wasting Money On Your Car: Wrapping Up
Figuring out how to stop wasting money on your car is a difficult process. Your car will need some maintenance and attention. Depending on how you go about it, that could prove costly. With each of the above strategies, however, it’s something you won’t need to worry about.
Thank you for all the great feedback on the Blogger Highlight series, I’ve enjoyed meeting each blogger and sharing their site with you. This week I highlight a new blogger, Books & Poems Cofee & Teas.
I‘m an elderly lady with three grown children, two teenage granddaughters, two great grandkids, and two cats. I love to listen to the news, while I work on my four blogs and my poems website. I paint ( watercolors ) and I read, write poetry, and eat lots of junk food and love my morning cup of coffee. I do container gardening on my deck and porch. I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and I’m somewhat housebound but still very positive. I like to watch old and new movies that are clean funny and sad but with a happy ending.
I want to say a special thank you to Laura Sebright, Marketing & Ecommerce Executiveat Trigger Publishing for sending this very interesting book for review.
About the Author
On October 18th 2014, Adelaide was in a bike crash that would change her life. She went through the driver’s side window of a car that pulled in front of her, suffering injuries that almost killed her – and emotional trauma that would continue for years to come. In addition to facing the physical injuries and PTSD, Adelaide worried about how the crash would affect her ability to cope with her bipolar II. After an arduous recovery, she returned to riding, eventually qualifying to become a professional triathlete. She is an advocate for cyclists’ safety and strives to help others who have suffered life-threatening crashes. Adelaide lives with her husband Kennett and their dog Maybellene.
Blurb
When the red Fiat pulled out in front of Adelaide, she squeezed her bike’s brakes so hard that she left 50 feet of skid marks along the highway. The last thing she remembers is being lifted into the ambulance and someone saying, “Her face is peeled off.”
She spent five days in a medically-induced coma, during which surgeons picked glass from her face, reconstructed bones and inserted a stomach tube. She spent another six days unable to talk, at times gasping for air, enduring leech treatments to keep her necrotizing lip alive, and fearing a crippling bipolar episode. Without knowing what neurological damage or permanent disfigurement she’d be left with, her boyfriend Kennett proposed to Adelaide daily in the hospital, until she became conscious. But her recovery would extend far beyond the hospital and the visible physical injuries.
DEGLOVED is about perseverance as well as failure, written to give hope to those living with mental illness, and anyone who has had a traumatic event thrust upon them, which threatened to destroy their lives.
My Thoughts
Where do you go after an accident almost cost took your life? For Adelaide, it’s moving forward slowly with an eye on recovery and sharing her story to help others. Not only was she in a coma, but also had reconstructive surgery, leech treatments, and fears that her Bipolar Disorder will pop its ugly head.
When you suffer from a traumatic injury it can cause PTSD and slow the recovery process. It can be more complicated if you have a mental illness, like Bipolar Disorder. For me, stress is a huge trigger for my Bipolar Disorder and it’s something I have to keep an eye on. It can throw me into depression very quickly.
Degloved is a book of tragedy and triumph with great lessons to learn about life after unsurmountable odds. Adelaide is a strong person and her perseverance against the odds gave her life back. She’s also a walking example of what our body can do when it comes back from hell.
Adelaide pushes herself thru unimaginable odds to go on to not only compete again but is now a professional Triathlete.
This book is for anyone who has been involved in a traumatic event or knows someone that has. The book is great for caregivers.
I recommend the book hands down. It’s a great read and a very inspiring story.

1911
American archeologist encounters Machu Picchu ruins
On July 24, 1911, American archeologist Hiram Bingham gets his first look at the ruins of Machu Picchu, an ancient Inca settlement in Peru that is now one of the world’s top tourist destinations.
Tucked away in the rocky countryside northwest of Cuzco, Machu Picchu is believed to have been a summer retreat for Inca leaders, whose civilization was virtually wiped out by Spanish invaders in the 16th century. For hundreds of years afterwards, its existence was a secret known only to the peasants living in the region. That all changed in the summer of 1911, when Bingham arrived with a small team of explorers to search for the famous “lost” cities of the Incas.

My Thoughts
In a work environment, it can be difficult to have a mentor, this book is what is missing to help you chart the course. 365 Quotes to Accelerate Your Career and Find Balance is a book I wished was available during my career. No matter where you’re at in life/career this book will help you ask yourself some tough questions that can propel your career and in turn life.
The chapters are divided based on where you are in your career, like helping you build your brand. I like Part 3 Personal Values the best because I believe that this is the foundation of who we are as a person which spills over to who we are at work.
In Chapter 11
“If you do not manage your time, time will manage you. Ten ways to make the most of your working day:”
I love this quote and was so lucky to learn this early in my career from my mentor. The quote is followed by 10 solutions to accomplish this goal. Time management can be difficult to manage and the solutions are easy to understand and implement.
I highly recommend this book to anyone and would make a great graduation gift.
