Tis the season to be Jolly

Scott Schwab:
Is there any correlation to happiness and health? Better yet does attitude affect your health? Can one obtain endorphins in other ways then exercise? I have found an article that might give you a change of perspective, not only about these subjects, but life itself. This may be a no brainer for some, but people who are happier will live longer and that is a fact. Endorphins are not only generated when you are working out and exercising. Endorphins are created when you do activities that you enjoy and/or get satisfaction from. They are also released by living a healthy lifestyle, and eating certain foods. I personally have noticed the days that I am happy, my workout is better. I get more done and I have more motivation. So as the dawn of a New Year is just less than a week away; perhaps our goals should not just be losing weight! This is every ones goal every year, and it is striking to see how many people do not follow through. Following through is the key, and realize; that with any change in habit, the first two weeks you will hate, probably gain weight, and feel very unhealthy. Don't give up! Even when you may see your benefits as non existent or in small measure at first. Make this New Year the one that counts. There is no better time than now, today, and this year. So lets change our attitudes and do exactly what we say we are going to do, promises we make, and commitments that we are bound by. Tis the season to be Jolly. Smile big, change your attitude, and live for what is important.
