(Don't forget to scroll down to the Featured Articles for more.) Enjoy the rest of your week! --Elizabeth

Gratifications: A Step Up From Mere Pleasure

Learn more about the benefits of gratifications, and see how you can incorporate more of them into your life.

Shortcuts to Happiness
While it may seem that happiness is always waiting around the corner with a better job, better relationship, or better house, the happiness that comes with those acquisitions can be fleeting. More importantly, you don't have to make big changes to feel happier; you can find feelings of happiness right now. Here are some quick strategies for instant feelings of happiness.
