Because of my happiness project, I now explicitly ask myself, “Will this decision make me happier?” I’m determined to get the most happiness bang for the buck. Here are some questions I consider: 1. Is this decision likely to strengthen my relationships with other people? Strong relationships with other people are a key — the key — to happiness, so decisions that help me build or strengthen ties are likely to boost my happiness. Yes, it’s a hassle and an expense to go to my college reunion, but it’s likely to have a big happiness pay-off. 2. Will this decision provide me with novelty and challenge? Novelty and challenge make me happier—but they also make me feel insecure, intimidated, frustrated,...

It walks in and out of our lives on a regular basis. And it can easily walk all over us unless we take action. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to minimize and cope with stress. Here are 10 ideas for handling stress without causing more strain and hassle. 1. Figure out where the stress is coming from. Oftentimes, when we’re stressed, it seems like a big mess with stressors appearing from every angle. We start to feel like we’re playing a game of dodge ball, ducking and darting so we don’t get smacked by a barrage of balls. We take a defensive position, and not a good one at that. Instead of feeling like you’re flailing day to day, identify what you’re actually stressed about. Is it a specific project at work, an upcoming exam, a dispute with yo...

Recently I met this guy I really like. It’s nothing like dating or relationship, more like a sexual friendship, a step up from f.buddy, but a step down from dating. Something in between in that no strings kind of connection. He is negative, and in the past has taken such extreme risks. Today he sent me a text from Hassle Free Clinic to say his test came back negative. Since we’ve met, despite his avserion to condoms, nonetheless, we have used them everytime time. After having posted a sure to be controverial post on GayGuideToronto.Com last week about guys having condomless sex, with a few sites targeting those guys, I want to make it clear I am not into bar... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2890884 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:19:37 +0100 2890884 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2416994&cid=t_176556_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2009%2F05%2F18%2Foptimism-software-special-offer%2F As a person starts upon his or her road in recovery from a mental health concern, a common question arises — how will I know I’m getting better? Therapists will often encourage (or even require) an individual to track their progress in treatment. Of course, such tracking requires some organization on the individual’s part, and can often be more hassle and work than they expect. Optimism Software is a simple, easy-to-use tracking tool. Optimism prompts you to keep a detailed record of all things that affect your state of mind. By monitoring patterns in your life you can identify negative influences that you need to avoid, early warning signs that your health is deteriorating, and the inputs and activities that benefit you most. Simple charts highlight cause and effect rel...

At 9:05am, I received a call from Ms. Topanga Stiller. I’ve had some issues with her in the past. The stuff you would expect from some bitch I take the time to post about — refill too soon, frequent vacationer, house broken into, even flushed ‘em once too! Anyway, she wanted to know if Dr. Matt Damon had called in her refill of Vicodin and Soma. It was at this point, I notified her that she filled 60 Soma three days prior. “Well, he increased me from twice a day to three times a day. Can you fill them when he calls them in?” “Absolutely not. You got 60 tablets three days ago. Take those three times a day until gone then I’ll get an override to fill them when you run out in 16 or 17 days.” “Well...

Those sweet, seductive words that insurance companies lull themselves to sleep at night with dollar signs jumping over a fence in a pasture. “Prior authorization” means that a doctor can’t prescribe a particular medication (or type of medication) without — you guessed it! — prior authorization from the insurance company. This usually means paperwork, phone calls, and hassle. More hassle than most docs want to bother with unless they really believe the medication is necessary for the continued health and well being of their patient. Insurance companies know this, of course, and so place some of the most expensive medications on the list that requires “prior authorization” to keep their costs low. Well, that’s the t...
