Today’s Quote

10 Ways on HOW TO STAY YOUNG
~ George Carlin

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay ‘them.’

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be A LIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it’s family, pets, music, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don’t take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER…
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

.
Have a great week!
Joanie and Angie

Today’s Inspirational Quote:

BE THANKFUL
~Unknown Author

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don’t know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

Today’s Message

Formula for Success

Event (E) + Response (R) = Outcome (O)
~ Jack Canfield

“Outcomes can sometimes come across as not “controllable” or out of control, however our reaction is controllable. How we react in a situation, based on an event guides the outcome. We cannot control the events, we cannot always control the outcomes, but we can control our reactions to an event thus guiding the outcome. How we react in any given situation is a choice.”

Tune in and listen to tips on how to control your reaction to any situation and make the best choice possible from the Happy Wednesday Ladies.

Today’s Quote
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

Five Rules to be Happy

Five Simple Rules to be Happy
~Unknown Author
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.

As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. ‘I love it,’ he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

‘Mr. Jones, you haven’t seen the room; just wait.’
‘That doesn’t have anything to do with it,’ he replied.
‘Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.
Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is
arranged … it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it.

It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice;
I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the
parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.

Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away.. Just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you’ve put in.

So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories! Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank. I am still depositing.’

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Today’s question
What happiness are you depositing in your Happy Memory Bank today?

Until next week, have a Happy Wednesday!

Your Thoughts Affect Your Health

admin — Wed, 13 May 2009 11:24:25 +0000

Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to the Happy Wednesday Broadcast…
For another midweek BOOST to help make your Wednesday a
“Power” Day and banish “hump” day from your life forever.

And now here is your host, the Happy Wednesday Lady, Joanie Winberg

Dear Joanie,

Happy Wednesday!

Today’s special message!

With the stress of today’s economic situation, it is extremely important

to realize the power of your thoughts and how your thoughts affect your health.

Eckhart Tolle says it perfectly…

“Although the body is very intelligent, it cannot tell the difference between an actual situation and a thought. It reacts to every thought as if it were a reality. It doesn’t know it is just a thought.

To the body, a worrisome, fearful thought means ’I am in danger,’ and it responds accordingly, even though you may be lying in a warm and comfortable bed at night. The heart beats faster, muscles contract, breathing becomes rapid. There is a buildup of energy, but since the danger is only a mental fiction, the energy has no outlet. Part of it is fed back to the mind and generates even more anxious thoughts.

The rest of the energy turns toxic and interferes with the harmonious functioning of the body.”

Today’s Tip

Living in the present moment is one way to help destress instantly. To master this life skill, practice the exercise below everyday for the next week.

First, be aware! Last week, I did a Stress Management workshop and asked the group to describe what they just had for lunch and how it tasted. Most people realized they did not taste their food, but had only inhaled it. Hmmm! Does this sound like you?

During your next meal…describe what you are eating by using all your senses. What does it smell like? What does it sound like…crunchy? What does it taste like? What does it look like?

Describe on paper what you are eating with as many details as possible.

Are you feeling less stressed? Are you amazed as to how delicious the food tasted? This is also a great way to lose weight because you will eat less.

E-mail me your results- jw@joanwinberg.com. I would love to hear from you.

Until next week, have a Happy Wednesday!

Earth Day Celebration

Happy Wednesday!
Welcome to the Happy Wednesday Broadcast…

“Power” Day and banish “hump” day from your life forever.

And now here is your host, the Happy Wednesday Lady, Joanie Winberg

Happy Earth Day!

Turn up your speakers to listen to today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast!

Today’s Quote
“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is our only hope.”
~ Wendell Berry

Today’s Empowering Tip

What can you do to celebrate “Earth” day – today and everyday?
What is your commitment to the earth?

Imagine if we all make a conscious decision to live “green” everyday what a tremendous impact that would make on the entire world.

As Oprah says- “Going Green 101: What your family can do today!”

One simple little thing your family could do starting today- unplug all appliance and television power cords when not in use. This will conserve energy and save you money.

The Happy Wednesday Broadcast is dedicated to making a difference in the world as a “Friendly” weekly reminder to empower yourself every Wednesday, by doing such things as an act of kindness or forgiving someone. Now we have added one more thing to the list; consciously do something to celebrate the earth every Wednesday.

Recipe for Happiness

admin — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 03:11:05 +0000

Happy Wednesday!
Welcome to the Happy Wednesday Broadcast…
For another midweek BOOST to help make your Wednesday a
“Power” Day and banish “hump” day from your life forever.

And now here is your host, the Happy Wednesday Lady, Joanie Winberg

Today’s Tips
Warning:
This recipe may cause intense happiness and works best when doubled and tripled.
Excessive portions will bring prosperity in all good things.

Recipe for Happiness

Ingredients:

1 cup Positive Assumptions
1 heaping spoonful of Perspective
3 Good Things
Tons of caring for yourself and others

Directions:
As a base, place one large cup of positive assumptions in a big bowl. Use positivity blended with hope, optimism and gratitude (not available in most media outlets).

Add one heaping spoonful of perspective (fresh is best). To accelerate the process, engage others for an even broader perspective. During this step, please wear rose-colored glasses.

Stir in 3 Good Things. Add one good thing about yourself, one good thing about family, and one good thing about work. Start with 3 Good Things but feel free to add additional to taste.

Stir all ingredients together with an attitude of possibility and love and let rise and bake at 98.6 degrees for several hours, days, weeks, months and years. This recipe serves several people. Once you consume this, you will infuse many others and you and your happy friends will be able to perpetuate happiness as long as you choose.

As a garnish, fill your plate with tons of caring for yourself and others. Take hot baths, talk to friends, laugh and play. Take action to help others accomplish their dreams, hold the door open, say thank you and express your love.

With regular consumption of this recipe you will NOT be one of the 70% of Americans who report being less than very happy. Or one of the 46% percent of workers who feel unappreciated. Or one of the 54% of Americans concerned about the level of stress in their everyday lives. And you will AVOID higher medical costs, lower work efficiency and missed days at work.

Today’s Quote-
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Today’s Tip-

10 Things You Can Do For Yourself… Without Ever Needing a Reason Why

1. Take a day off.

2. Easily say no when you want to…and feel great instead of guilty while doing so.

3. Celebrate how fabulously brilliant you are.

4. Realize that demand can be an okay thing for you to do.

5. Have regular “Pamper Yourself” time that you never, ever, ever consider rescheduling.

6. Take a chance.

7. Take another day off…this time from everything and everyone.

8. Treat yourself to something that can be described with one or more of the following adjectives: sparkly, yummy, divine, rich, adventurous, adorable, posh, sexy, beautiful, fun, and exhilarating.

9. Love, accept, and respect yourself exactly as you are (and understand that your opinion of you is the only one that counts).

10. Know that you deserve to have an infinite number of items on this list! Go ahead and add some more.

Before we can ever make the world a better place, we have to be willing to make our world the best world possible. Each of us deserves to receive this gift of permission from ourselves. Are you willing to give it?

A SPECIAL THANKS

Today’s quote and tips are brought to you by:

An excerpt from author Shelly Rachanow’s latest book, What Would You Do If You Ran the World?: Everyday ideas from women who want to make the world a better place is a culmination of brave, beautiful, brilliant and totally possible ideas we can do to make things better for ourselves, our loved ones, our community, and the world.

Today’s Quote-
“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.”
~ Unknown author

Today’s Tip-
When we see a butterfly, our thoughts may be…what a beautiful creature! How wonderful to fly about freely, bringing beauty to whomever’s path it crosses. We don’t think about the journey that butterfly took to become this awesome display of nature.

This butterfly was once a creeping and colorless caterpillar. Who, may or may not survive harsh weather, a landscaper’s freewheeling tool or just simply the process it must undergo to become that beautiful butterfly.

And that cocoon… some say how they wish they could be in a cocoon. They see it as a “safe” place, a warm and comforting place. But, like the butterfly of this quote, it could also be construed as a dark place, a lonely place, wondering how long before the “light” shines through.

The hope of becoming that beautiful butterfly can inspire. If a little caterpillar can transform into a beautiful butterfly… what are our possibilities? The “transformation” part may be difficult. It may be a quick transformation, it may take longer.

BE PATIENT! Like a butterfly, there is beauty in all of us. When you shed your cocoon and spread your beautiful wings, the world will be waiting.

Guest: Patty Hansen
Topic: Author of the new Chicken Soup for the Soul book- “Divorce and Recovery”-
101 Stories about Surviving and Thriving after Divorce

A Lesson in Love

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:00:51 +0000

Today’s Happy Wednesday Broadcast is brought to you by Michael Jordan Segal.

Michael, who defied all odds after being shot in the head, is a husband, father, social worker, author, and inspirational speaker. His “miraculous” comeback story was first published in Chicken Soup for the Christian Family Soul. He has a CD of 12 of his inspirational short stories, entitled POSSIBLE, available on his web site.

“A Lesson in Love”
By Michael Jordan Segal, MSW

Audio- “A Lesson in Love”

“I never liked rings. I do not wear a high school ring; I do not wear a college ring; and I did not want to wear a wedding ring. This was not because I did not want people to know that I was married, but because I just did not feel comfortable with a ring on my finger.

After graduating from college I finally was about to “pop the question” to my high school sweetheart, Sharon Gail Weingarton, who continually was at my side when I was almost fatally injured during a robbery.

Sharon was the best — pretty, kind, sweet, and good-hearted. However, what would she say when I proposed and said that I did not want to wear a wedding ring? I practiced what I was going to say to her. I thought long and hard. I finally decided that there was no answer to my dilemma. I would simply tell her, and then wait five minutes listening to her explode.

So that night I proposed, and afterwards I told Sharon that I was not going to wear a ring. I simply said: “I just don’t like rings. I don’t wear a high school ring…” I expected Sharon to become enraged: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE NOT GOING TO WEAR A WEDDING RING?”

However, instead, I merely heard silence. After what in my mind seemed like an eternity, Sharon calmly remarked: “Fine. If you don’t want to wear a wedding ring, I won’t change my name. I will not call myself Sharon Segal.”

On our Fifteenth Anniversary, I remembered my first lesson of marriage that was taught to me by my wife Sharon Gail Segal as I looked down upon the ring on my ring finger — COMPROMISE.”

Today’s quote

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more…It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
~Melody Beattie

Nick Vujicic is often asked,
“How come you smile so much?”
He says, “It’s a long story.”

Today’s tip

Here we are at the end of another year. When reflecting back, how are you feeling about this past year? Are you feeling disappointed about what you did not accomplish? Do you have any regrets or hard feelings about anything or anyone?

Be aware of how you are feeling when only focusing on what went wrong during the year. Are you feeling stressed or anxious?

How about focusing on what did go right this year. Just like the radio stations play the “Top 40″ songs at the end of the year, let’s make a list of the “Top 40″ things you are grateful for this past year. Include everything; no matter how small the accomplishment. When focusing on the positive things, notice how you are feeling. Are you feeling more at peace and joyful?

As Melody Beattie said in her quote- “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.” It’s one of the secrets to true happiness.

I wish you and your family all the best for the New Year.
