You can't completely eliminate stress from your life, but you can learn to deal with it in a healthy way. And since stress is associated with all sorts of negative health effects like high blood pressure and a weakened immune system, taking a few minutes a day to fight stress keeps you not only happy and smiling, but healthy too. "Daily hassles and annoyances can get to anyone, but small changes make a big difference," explains Judy Saltzberg, who holds a doctorate in clinical psychology and teaches at the University of Pennsylvania's Masters of Applied Positive Psychology program. Here's how to keep smiling: 1. Take it outside.

Hi all Its been way too long since I have contributed to our blog so I am starting with a great piece on a Happy Planet from the Ted Network I do hope you enjoy this thought provoking presentation.
The following information is this weeks strengths tipo from CAPP Efficacy - People strong in Efficacy are very confident in their own abilities, having a sure belief that they can achieve their goals.When was the last time you had the self-belief to achieve a goal that seemed unrealistic? People strong in Efficacy have the confidence in their own capability to achieve their goals. We tend not to notice individuals with Efficacy - they always seem to get the job done with their can-do approach. You know instinctively that you can rely on them to get the result you need. Look at the people around you, whether in real life or on television, and see who you can spot who has Efficacy - do some people have an unerring sense of self-belief? Do others seem to question themselves more? What can you learn from them, to implement for yourself in your own life?
If you have Efficacy as a strength, ask yourself how you can put it to best use. Where does your confidence in your ability to do things come from? When has your belief in your ability to do things been most helpful to you? Think about the occasions where your involvement in a project has benefited significantly from your self-belief and confidence. Did your involvement enable others to build confidence in their own abilities?
