I chose the blog mindbodygreen because reading about health, fitness, and lifestyle is always something I have been interested in.

The particular blog post I decided to reflect on is titled “10 Secrets Of Highly Satisfied People”. I choose this post because often times I think many people (emphasis on myself) get cause up in everything we need to be doing or improving on in life, without taking time to appreciate and soak up all the successes and accomplishments that have also occurred. The first sentence of the post “Our attitudes, our experiences and our emotions are choices we make” was a great way to start the post, and I continuously referenced back to that line throughout the rest of the text. You decide how your attitude or experience for the day will be, and unforeseen circumstances may occur that can make or break a mood, but a person’s attitude is a choice, and you can choose to be upset over something that happens, or make the best of it.

Our of the 10 Secrets, I would say the one that I think I personally will try to improve on the most would be #10 “They give themselves permission to be happy”. Sometimes it seems as though there is a stigma that people shouldn’t be happy or proud of accomplishments, that they should diminish what they have done and use a “no big deal” type of mentality.

I enjoyed the blog overall, and thought it had some useful, simple posts that make you reflect on a person’s lifestyles and habits, and hopefully pushes people out of their comfort zone.
