Emotional Fitness: 10 Instant Things To Boost Your Emotional Balance

After a year of taking it easy and using my Master's Degree as an excuse, I finally decided to take health and fitness back into my life. As a result, I enrolled in belly dancing classes and will plan a weekly fitness routine to help me stay healthy, in shape and feel better about myself.


I found this article by Dr. Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D, which I found to be necessary from time to time. Sometimes work, responsibility and stress might make us lose our emotional balance momentarily. For when that happens, he recommended 10 things to do to instantly feel better about ourselves and get that needed push into the right direction.


1. Wash your hands and face and brush your teeth: 
     It cools and cleans the part of your body that you use most frequently, which is relaxing, and gives    
     you that "fresh start" feeling.

Calabazas de Angry Birds para Halloween

La fecha de Halloween se sigue acercando así que la página de Facebook de Angry Birds mostró una galería de fotos con arte del tema de Halloween creada por sus fans. También les incluí 2 patrones que pueden imprimir para tallar Angry Birds. Mi experiencia: mientras más pequeña la calabaza, más dura y difícil de tallar y cortar. Al final del post podrás ver mi intento de 'pumpkin carving' del año pasado.

Nicki Minaj Sings 'Super Bass' with Sophia Grace

There is no denying who steals the show on this performance. Nicki Minaj makes a surprising appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show sending little Sophia Grace in to a state of euphoria. I couldn't stop laughing because this little girl is just having the time of her life and showing her skills in front of a live audience with no slip-ups!

Flash Mob @ Plaza Las Américas

¡Encontré este video y me encantó! Se formó un fiestón en el atrio central de Plaza Las Américas, con el primer flash mob en Puerto Rico, compuesto por un inmenso y diverso grupo de participantes. Lo mejor fue ver a los curiosos no poder aguantar las ganas de bailar y finalmente decidir formar parte de la diversión. A mi me encantaría ser parte de un flash mob, ¿y a tí? Habrá que esperar hasta que nos sorprendan con otro.

Whoa... Whoa... Whoa... Whoa! Paul McCartney was barefoot?

Instead of starting my schoolwork (How's it going, Dr. A!), I felt I needed to browse the web a little bit, you know, to see if I could find something that caught my eye, as anyone suffering from procrastination would. So I started searching for fashion blogs, astronomy pictures ("Oh look! Planet Earth"), travel sites ("Hmm kind of miss Oxford St. in London") hmmm... *types "London".

Waterway to Orbit by James Vernacotola

In love with this STUNNING shot of the space shuttle Endeavour launching from the Intracoastal Waterway Bridge in Ponte Vedra, Florida. This shot is very special because it is NASA's last scheduled night launch of the space shuttle program. 

What a lovely way to spend a Monday morning!
