WAYS TO HAVE GREAT MAKE UP SEX
1. Get Your Blood Pumping First, you have to find a way to spike your adrenaline without spiking your dishes on the kitchen floor. Pepper Schwartz, Joy feelings magazine
PhD, a professor of sociology at the University of Washington and coauthor of The Getaway Guide to the Great Sex Weekend, says to "do something exciting together, and the sex you
have afterward will be life affirming." Yes, she means daredevil activities like skydiving or bungee jumping, but a rollercoaster ride together will also do the trick. You'll still get to yell at the top of your lungs, just not at your boo. Not an adrenaline junkie? Simply going for a run together works too. You'll get all red in the face but only in the best way. 2. Ditch Each Other A postfight romp is a reunion of sorts — you're coming together after being emotionally distant, right? So instead of arguing, try planning physical time apart. Hollie S., 25, has mastered this trick. "I look forward to solo trips because I get to Joy feelings magazine
do something I really enjoy, plus my husband and I really get to miss each other, which leads to hotter sex when we get our hands on each other again," she says. Aaron Ben-Ze'ev, PhD, author of In the Name of Love, agrees. "In a flourishing relationship, the importance of personal space cannot be exaggerated." So plan a weekend getaway with friends, pronto. 3. Inspire Some Harmless Competition You know how hot you feel when you're dressed up and turning a few strangers' heads in a bar? Ari B., 34, suggests tapping into that emotion and "going out and getting attention from someone
else. Showing him you're in demand with others is a foolproof way to instigate some jealousy and motivate him to win you over again," she says. Plus, flirtation with a stranger can cause your man to see you with new eyes. Recently, Ari's husband got turned on when a woman flirted with her at a party. "She was actually straight. She just wanted to have fun and complimented my curves," Ari says. "He thought it was hot that a woman was attracted to me, and it reminded him that he faces competition from all genders, which made the sex that night super hot." 4. Ready Your Imaginary Boxing Gloves Joy feelings magazine
When all else fails, playfight! Myriad M., 30, suggests staging a makebelieve tiff about something trivial that doesn't really matter to either of you, like who's the better twerker. "Pick sides, and fight to win!" she says. It doesn't hurt to get physical either. Playfully lob a pillow his way, or tackle him onto the bed. There's nothing like a wrestling match to arouse some playful feelings of competition ‌ and, ahem, some other types of feelings too.
SIX WAYS WOMEN CAN ENJOY SEX BETTER
So here are some of the top things women can and should do to get more of the satisfaction they so rightly deserve. 1. Initiate Sex With Your Partner Many women worry about ladylike behavior. They fear seeming too aggressive, or being viewed negatively for seeming to like sex a little too much. But according to Les Parrot, professor of psychology at Seattle Pacific University and author of a new book called Crazy Good Sex, failing to initiate sex is one of the biggest mistakes women make. “Most guys feel like they are always the initiator and that sets up disequilibrium on the passion scale in the relationship,” he says. Joy feelings magazine
Generally, men want to be pursued by their partners just as much as women do. Holding onto outdated ideas about sex roles also inhibits satisfaction with our sexual relationships, says “Dr. Ruth,” aka Ruth Westheimer, PhD, a psychosexual therapist, professor at New York University, and lecturer at Yale and Princeton universities. “They used to think that women are less interested in sexual activity and I don’t want to say that anymore. I think there are women who are as interested in sex as men.” Show your interest by taking the first step from time to time. Your partner will likely appreciate it, and you may find a new level of satisfaction in taking responsibility for
your sexual experience, something Westheimer feels strongly women must do. 2. Stop Worrying About What You Look Like Thinking about how you look during sex stops you from enjoying yourself and ruins your chances of achieving an orgasm. “Don’t think about the fat on your belly or the makeup on your face,” advises Westheimer. “Concentrate on the pleasure of the act. You must give yourself permission to have an orgasm.” “Men want women to abandon themselves in sex play, and that’s not likely if she is anxious about her physical concerns,” Parrott says. Helen Fisher, PhD, a cultural anthropologist at Joy feelings magazine
Rutgers University and author of a new book called Why Him, Why Her, says men don’t notice half the things women obsess about anyway. “It’s amazing what men don’t notice. Men are much more attracted to women who show signs of health. Rather than worry about the shape of your waist and hips, worry about your energy level and enthusiasm and interest in him,” Fisher advises. 3. Don’t Assume That All Men Want Is Casual Sex Westheimer believes women should all let go of old-fashioned notions, such as women are not sexual or that sex is just sex to men. “For some men, sex is a very
important act. Don’t minimize it.” The research, says Parrott, supports the idea that both men and women find sexual intimacy in the context of a committed relationship to be more satisfying. “Numerous research studies make it very clear that the people who have the best quality and most frequent sex are married couples. That says a lot about the inadequacies of ‘casual sex,” Parrot says. In a study being conducted by Fisher and her colleagues of university students engaging in onenight stands, the numbers show that men are just as serious about sex and relationships as women. In fact, more than 50% of women and 52% of men who went into a one-night Joy feelings magazine
stand, according to Fisher, reported that they did so hoping to create a longer relationship. One-third of them actually did so. What’s the lesson? “Never assume that a man is not romantic,” Fisher says. “Two huge mistakes in this culture are that women are not sexual and that men are not as romantic as women.” 4. Understand That Men Don’t Always Want Sex Sure, most teenage boys are ready and willing just about any time you ask, but not true for men. The pressures of everyday life — family, work, bills — can zap a man’s libido. This comes as a big surprise to many women, and often his lack of interest in sex is something women take personally.
“It comes as such a shock to women that they just don’t believe it,” Fisher says about the reaction many women have when their partner says they aren’t in the mood for sex. “They know themselves that they are not always interested in sex but they still love the man. But when they discover he doesn’t want to have sex, they think, ‘he doesn’t love me.’ Not true. He just doesn’t feel up to having sex right now.” 5. Tell Him What You Want Talking very directly about sex, what you like and don’t like can make many people, but particularly women, feel uncomfortable, even with a long-time partner, says Parrott. But it’s the only way to achieve a Joy feelings magazine
satisfying sexual relationship. “A woman must take responsibility for her sexual encounter,” says Westheimer. “No man can bring a woman to orgasm if she doesn’t take responsibility for her sexual experience. Even the best lover can’t know what she needs without her letting him know.” The good news, according to Fisher, is that men very much want to please women. “If you can tell them in a way that doesn’t kill their ego, they will appreciate it,” says Fisher. Men do listen, particularly if you’re quite clear about it.” 6. Don’t Feel You “Have To” Try New Things, But Don’t Get Upset If He Asks, Either
After a couple has been together for a while, it’s natural to want to spice things up with a little variety. Just because your man wants to try something new doesn’t mean he’s unhappy with you or your sex life. Still, it’s important that you tune into your comfort zone says Parrott. “Nobody should ever feel obligated to do something they don’t want to do in
Joy feelings magazine
the personal and intimate area of sexuality,” Parrott says. “If your man asks you about trying something that’s outside of your moral or comfort zone, make it clear that it’s off limits for you and explain why. Of course, do this in a loving way as best you can. Also, try to suggest other options that you would be comfortable with.
How Can You Attract and Keep the Right Guy?
You were delighted when I told you how to tell if a man was falling in love with you.
doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
You were thrilled when I told you when to dump a non-committal guy.
That describes most of us when it comes to dating and relationships.
I think you’re going to be challenged by what I’m about to tell you in my next video.
You’re wired a certain way. You’re attracted to a certain kind of personality type.
We’ve long ago established that the definition of insanity is
Over and over, you plug away, trying to make things work, even though
Joy feelings magazine
it should be readily apparent by now: there’s not necessarily something wrong with YOU, nor is every man in your life fatally flawed. The problem is how you two work as a couple. Two great ingredients don’t necessarily taste good together. Lobster and cinnamon come to mind. So what we’re here to do is try to reduce this to a simple science, finding a man who’s not just a great guy, but finding a man who’s a great fit for your life. That may sound a little cold and cerebral to you, but I hate to tell you, following your heart has caused pretty much all of Joy feelings magazine
your relationship troubles. If love is blind, it’s my job to take the blinders off and let you know how to make slight adjustments that will lead you to greater happiness. And let me be the first to tell you, greater happiness doesn’t rest in choosing a guy who’s just like you. My mantra to women is to look for a complement, not a clone. This may not come naturally to you, especially if you’re a smart, strong, successful woman who thinks that you “deserve” a man who is smarter, stronger, and more successful than you are. Essentially, you’re trying to date yourself, with a penis.
That kind of thinking is a huge blind spot for many women. (Just imagine if men said the same thing: “I need a woman who is smarter, stronger, and more successful than I am.” No one would ever be able to settle down because everyone would be trying to trade up!) This creates a conundrum for women who consider themselves in the 90th percentile of everything. In other words, the number of men who are taller, smarter, richer, is going to be a small fraction of the population. (Consider: 15% of men are 6 feet tall. 10% have masters degrees. 2% make over 200K, etc.)
Joy feelings magazine
Furthermore, these prime specimens of man meat are NOT necessarily looking to date female versions of themselves. You may want these alpha male studs, but these alpha male studs often prefer women who are less busy, more available, less critical, and lower maintenance. Therein lies the friction. What happens when you catch one of these Bill Clinton/Tiger Woods type men? Well, consider the personality type of a guy who is busy, driven, and wealthy. He’s demanding. He’s used to getting his way. He’s a conqueror. He’s not big on compromise. He doesn’t
think the rules apply to him. And he’s got an endless supply of female suitors. Add those all up, and you have a man who is really hard to land for a successful forty-year relationship. These prime specimens of man meat are NOT necessarily looking to date female versions of themselves The only way to land a man like that is togive him what he can’t get anywhere else. What he can’t get from his guy friends. What he can’t get from his work. What he can’t get from his hobbies. That’s why he’d date you, because you provide an element to his life that is unique and special. Joy feelings magazine
He wants a woman who is nurturing and thoughtful and supportive and patient and fun and playful and sexy. This doesn’t mean that he is turned off or intimidated by your intelligence or ambition, but it’s merely a bonus. After all, he’s surrounded by smart, driven people all day long. When he gets home, he needs to turn off his business mind. He doesn’t need to be challenged or criticized. He needs to laugh. He’s doesn’t care about your doctorate or your triathlon medals. He’s got his own. And if you perpetually think that the more impressive you are, the
more it’s going to allow you to land an impressive man, I would encourage you to reconsider. Men are looking for someone who makes his life better, simply by being optimistic, silly, sexy, and fun. It’s a completely different energy from your ability to slay dragons in the workplace.
Joy feelings magazine
If you’re a woman who doesn’t consider herself an ambitious, intense CEO type, it will be far easier for you to land one of these men, because you offer a complementary feminine energy to his masculine energy. This can be hard to swallow, I acknowledge.
But I’m telling you, after 8 years of coaching, I’ve become convinced that people don’t change. Which is why I’m not asking you to change yourself; only to change your choice of men. Recently I was asked what percentage of my clients found love by changing their personalities vs. what percentage of my clients found love from changing their choice of men. All my success stories changed their choice of men. If you’re out working 60 hours a week, you don’t need a guy who does the same. You might need a guy who is your complement, a supporter, a nurturer, your biggest fan who is your strength when the going gets Joy feelings magazine
tough. He makes you laugh. He listens to you. He gets you. You might need your own complement, just like the alpha males I’ve described above. You can protest that you don’t want your complement; you still want your clone. Fair enough. How’s that working for you? So, to me, your takeaway in figuring out how to attract and keep the right guy, your biggest problem is not who you are inside. It’s your picker. The men you’re choosing are not necessarily the right guy.
Because when you choose someone with a complementary energy, the puzzle pieces just fit and the whole thing becomes easy. And I assure you, there’s absolutely no need for dating coaching when you’re in an easy relationship with a guy who is a great fit for your life. INSTRUCTIONS
Be aware of your surroundings. The man for you might be right next door,in the next cubicle at your office, or sitting behind you at church. That male friend who's always there for you may be secretly harboring feelings Joy feelings magazine
for you. Look around, who knows who might be there waiting for you to notice him. If you want to attract men worth having, be open to the guys you already know, as well as those you don't. Try a matching site online like eharmony. There's no harm in looking at some profiles and maybe sending an email. There are some great guys on the reputable sights. Adult sights should be avoided, however. These guys are obviously not looking for a relationship. Some men are just a little shy, and would rather use a dating sight than approach a woman in person. Plus, you can get to know a guy over the phone and
through emails before you decide if you want a date.
Grocery stores and the mall may be just the place to find Mr. Right. I have several friends who met their man in the grocery store. Just smile at everyone and be friendly wherever you are. Someone might just see you and say hi! If you spot a cutie, why not position yourself close by and make a casual comment or two? Who knows where it could lead... Stop looking. I usually find what I'm looking for as soon as I quit looking for it. Men are no different. Concentrate on what makes you happy, Joy feelings magazine
and the right guy will notice you're vibrant attitude and be hopelessly attracted to you. Good luck. Tips & Warnings •

Meet at a public place for a first date. Be careful when inviting strangers into your life. Get a good idea of what kind of person you're dealing with before you let them into your home.
WHY MEN WITHDRAW EMOTIONALLY In a relationship, having your partner withdraw at an emotional level can
bring confusion, pain and frustration. Women who relate to men that do this are often bewildered by why and how this happens. Speaking as a man, and one who considers himself sensitive and emotionally available, there are particular situations and scenarios
First, I just wanted to express that when a man seeks solace or withdraws from a conversation, it probably has nothing to do with the beloved. It has more to do with the emotional intensity and confusion around Joy feelings magazine
that cause me to withdraw. And I imagine that other men, regardless of how intune they are with their emotional nature, would respond in similar ways. Just because a man withdraws does not mean he is withdrawing from you.
emotions than with any particular person. It just takes men more time to integrate and understand the watery realm of emotions. And understanding emotions isn’t something that happens for us
spontaneously in the midst of a heated discussion. We need space and time to figure out what is happening, both within our own self and with our beloved. Men have been discouraged from feeling emotional. We have been mocked, attacked, and belittled when showing emotions. Big boys don’t cry, toughen up, and bite the bullet are all phrases men grow up with. So when we are faced with emotional situations, we are total novices. The biggest harm that is not recognized or appreciated for the depth of damage that it causes at the emotional level to a man is that men are Joy feelings magazine
expected to be tough, to protect, and kill to defend their family. Violence, and the expectation of violence, mandates an absence of emotional sensitivity. It is a double standard to expect a man to be emotionally available and to have him be able to harm another human being. Have compassion and understand the kind of conundrum that a man faces when being emotional vulnerable and awakening to deeper sensitivities. It is rare enough to find a man who wants to delve within and unleash his inner passion. It doesn’t mean that he is going to be masterful at it. For men to be comfortable in their own skin and
accept their feeling nature takes a growth curve. A woman has a lifetime of experience navigating the oceanic tides of emotional states. Women grow up with emotional states and are accepted as sensitive, feeling beings. She is able to observe, feel, recognize and better communicate her feelings than a man. Women are also adept at observing and recognizing the emotional states in other people. And when a woman finds a man who loves her, at some level, she feels a great deal of hope because she has found an emotional match, somebody who understands those hidden tides and influences. Women will share all their heart and feelings, and not Joy feelings magazine
understand how this can impact a man. And when a man doesn’t respond as she needs, the feelings of being hurt or misunderstood arise. How those feelings are expressed matter a great deal. The best men want an intimate connection with women, and often don’t know how to do that. Men don’t fall short in the emotional realm because we are emotionally immature. We are emotionallyinexperienced. Men face expectations and pressure about emotions that are confusing and contradictory. And when we find a woman who loves us and we love in return, it brings to life a living fire that had been
suppressed for a lifetime. Yet fires burn, and the burgeoning sensitivities is akin to a child learning to walk. We fall down, we make blunders, and we are blind as to how to listen and communicate our emotions. Men experience a learning curve when awakening to their deepest sensitivities. And just as any beginner, they make mistakes. Sometimes the mistakes are colossal, and sometimes laughable. Men need an emotional example, how to be live with and operate with emotions in a healthy way. We also need to be accepted as we are, beginners with beautiful intention. To demand for a man to have the mastery over their emotions is an Joy feelings magazine
outrageous expectation. For most men, mastery over emotions means suppressing them, hiding feelings behind a mask of stoicism, or just turning off the emotions entirely. It takes time to even identify the subtle emotions, let alone to know how they function and their influence on our own self and those around us. Any teacher knows that mocking a beginner or putting them down, criticizing them or their approach, will stunt the learning curve, if not completely stopping it. The beloved woman becomes that guide into the mysterious realms of feeling emotions. When she expresses anger, puts down her man, belittles or
mocks him, a man feels attacked. When she demands him to be sensitive, a man feels not good enough. And when a man faces a womans wrath he will respond in the ways he has been taught to feel emotions since early childhood ; with anger. Anger is one of the few emotions accepted in men because it is a necessary emotion to be a soldierkiller. Anger is a natural defensive response for men. And once we become angry with our beloved, there is a host of problems that arise afterwards. Guilt, shame, inadequacy, failure, and fear. These siblings to anger are inevitable when fury shows its face, especially when we know Joy feelings magazine
that our loved one has been hurt as a result of our anger. The words spoken in anger harm the recipient and the speaker. It takes time for a man to feel comfortable feeling emotions. After all, such a man is challenging the tenets and pressure of an entire society and its deeply ingrained training. A man’s natural response when hurt or confused is to withdraw. Almost everybody knows about the masculine need to retreat to the cave. And whether this is physical space, or mental space, or even silence, the cave is an essential healing tool for the manly mind. The cave allows integration of the experience, introspection to see what
is happening within, and understanding to know how to better respond in the future. Women set the example and emotional tone that allows their partner to feel safe. When a man faces a woman who is emotionally stable, it allows him to understand his own emotions. The depth of understanding that the woman has with herself and her own emotional nature will give him the security to express and unveil his own strengths. The woman who is emotionally secure brings a presence of emotional security to the relationship. A well meaning man will appreciate this and do his best, and grow faster and Joy feelings magazine
reveal the depths of his spirit with increasing strength and confidence. Granted, the ideal is that a man can figure out his emotional state and come into his own emotional maturity through his own self-generated willpower. Yet the reality is that teachers, guides and mentors accelerate this process and help a person navigate the confusing and mysterious realms of emotions. There are a great many pitfalls and bewildering mirages when it comes to the shifting sands of sensitivities. And as man learns his emotional state, he is also facing the additional challenges from his friends, family, and world that challenges that awakening at every step.
The woman who is insecure with her own emotions will see a man who withdraws as a threat and denigrate him and go on the attack. This is the antithesis of supportive behavior. She may not realize that he is a man who is brave beyond measure to face his own soul and bare his spirit with vulnerable trust. When a man doesn’t respond as she needs and demands at the emotional level, lashing out will only cause harm. Gentle understanding and compassionate acceptance brings healing and deepens the relationship. One of the best qualities women have is the ability to nurture. Nurturing is not aggressive. And with a Joy feelings magazine
man, directing aggression at him will generate an aggressive response. He will either fight or run. The flight or fight response is deeply ingrained into every human being. In essence, attacking a man who is opening his heart will trigger a survival level instinct. Once that survival level power fully awakens in relationship, the dynamics in the relationship changes and may never come back to equilibrium. Nurturing is not forceful, instead it is accepting and allows for a natural growth curve. Be patient. Just as a tree takes time to come into its fullness and blossom, a man who is learning to embrace his deeper truths will need
time to fully ripen into his potential. Appreciate the men who take the time to stand up against society to discover, feel, live and unleash their sensitive side. It takes a lion’s heart full of courage to face down societal expectations and programmed beliefs. Give him gratitude, honor
his spirit, thank him for being available with his sensitivity in ANY way that he is able. Such a person is one of a kind, a warrior in the truest meaning of the word.
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE SODA There are a couple of ways talking about the super to make soda.

One of the great things about making soda in this way is that you can control the intensity of the flavor and the relative sweetness of the resulting beverage. You can experiment with flavors and even use real fruit to make the syrups. Then once you have made your soda, you can make fabulous soda creations. There's nothing like an ice cream float with homemade fruity soda. Making syrup for soda is pretty much making a simple syrup (sugar and water) and adding flavoring. It's very easy. To use fresh fruit, choose fruits that are very ripe and juicy and either put them through a juicer or puree them and press through a strainer. If you Joy feelings magazine

HOW TO DEAL WITH PREGNANCY BACK PAIN Your baby is growing -and so are the chances you'll develop back pain Joy feelings magazine
in pregnancy. Try this advice for some relief.
Heather Weston With my first child, I assumed that my aching back was par for the course and suffered through it. But my "grin and bear it" attitude became harder to pull off during my second pregnancy, when I was also carrying my 26pound toddler and tons of baby gear. A combination of stretching, exercise, and my heating pad provided some relief, but I wish I'd known more about how to cut my risk of developing back pain in the first place. It's a common problem: Between 50 and 80 percent of pregnant women experience a backache largely due to weight gain. Women are supposed to put on 25 to Joy feelings magazine
35 pounds during pregnancy, and nearly half gain even more than that. The added weight is mainly distributed around the belly, which causes your center of gravity to tilt forward. To compensate for this shift, many women over-arch the lower back and round the upper back and head forward, which can lead to back problems. A second culprit is the pregnancy hormone relaxin, which, as the name implies, relaxes the ligaments throughout the body. As pregnancy progresses, this hormone helps the pelvis expand to make more room for the baby. However, the effects of relaxin aren't just limited to the pelvic area. Ligaments in the spine
also loosen up, which forces the back muscles to work much harder. Sometimes a backache may be a sign of preterm labor. Call your doctor immediately if you experience pain that's centrally located very low in the back and is accompanied by pelvic pressure, spotting, or unusually thick vaginal discharge. For other types of aches, the following prevention and treatment strategies from the experts should help to make you more comfortable. Pay More Attention to Your Posture In many cases, an aching back can be alleviated simply by becoming more aware of your body's alignment when sitting and standing. "Keep the Joy feelings magazine
chest and head high, hold ears over shoulders, tuck buttocks under, and keep the pelvis more flat, rather than arching your back, to support your additional weight," says Roger Harms, M.D., an obstetrician-gynecologist and author of Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy. Though standing for long periods is discouraged for pregnant women, it's occasionally unavoidable. You can make it less stressful by donning a lightweight walking or running shoe that's wide enough to allow for swelling. "Women should wear shoes that provide shock absorption, stability, and support," says Alicia Silva, a physical therapist and author of Preventing
and Managing Back Pain During Pregnancy. Manufacturers such as Born, Naturalizer, and Easy Spirit offer great options. If you're in a situation that requires you to sit for an extended amount of time, make sure you're in the most supportive position possible: Sit so that your hips and lower back are touching the back of the seat and your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. It's also a good idea to place a lumbar support pillow between the chair and your lower back. "The pillow will improve your sitting posture by reducing head and neck slouching," explains Silva. Lift Properly Avoid picking up heavy objects during pregnancy Joy feelings magazine
and follow these tips for light-to-moderate lifting: Keep your back straight, bend at the knees, lift with your legs, keep the object close to your body, and avoid a twist and lift motion. If you must twist, turn your entire body and feet to face the new location, rather than swiveling at the waist. (Use the same techniques postpartum when picking up your baby and any of his gear.) Most important, remember to ask for help when you need it. If ever there was a time when people are happy to come to your rescue, it's now. Stay Active Regular exercise can help keep your back strong, but be sure to check with your doctor before beginning any type of program. Dr.
Harms recommends a combination of stretching and low-impact cardiovascular exercises like walking and swimming. Swimming is especially great during pregnancy: "It gives the muscles that are supporting your extra weight a break and helps with conditions such as varicose veins and ankle swelling," says Dr. Harms. Sleep on Your Side Late in pregnancy, you should sleep on your left side so that the uterus doesn't put pressure on the vena cava, a main vein located on the right side of the abdomen that keeps your blood circulating. To help maintain a properly aligned spine, Silva suggests placing a pillow under your tummy and Joy feelings magazine

From back problems to less common causes of pregnancy pain, you may experience discomfort while you're expecting. Find out how to get safe pain relief during pregnancy and when you should seek immediate help. It’s a special time during your life, but let’s face it: pregnancy can be uncomfortable. Finding the right kind of pain relief during pregnancy means understanding what might be causing your pregnancy pain in addition to considering the safety of your baby.

As a general rule, you need to be selective with pain relief. “I usually recommend not using medication first,” says obstetrician-gynecologist Amanda Calhoun, MD, MPH, assistant director of women’s health for Kaiser Permanente Northern California in Richmond. Instead, she advises other methods such as relaxation, massage, and heat for certain pains, such as back pain. Note that you should not apply heat to your abdomen during pregnancy. If these approaches fail, acetaminophen, such as Tylenol, is considered safe during pregnancy. With your doctor’s approval,
you may also be able to use small amounts of narcotic pain medications if absolutely necessary for pregnancy pain relief. “The big medication class to avoid is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], such as ibuprofen,� says Dr. Calhoun. These can be harmful to a growing fetus. To know when to worry and when not to worry about pregnancy pain, it helps to be aware of the common causes of discomfort by trimester. First Trimester Pregnancy Pain
Joy feelings magazine
Pain during your first three months can be caused by: Stretching of your uterus Corpus luteum cyst, which may have formed after your ovary released your egg Breast tenderness These are normal pains and will go away with a little patience. "The pain most women worry about in the first trimester is miscarriage, which feels like strong menstrual cramps accompanied by blood," says Calhoun. Other serious causes of pain include infections and ectopic pregnancy, in which the baby starts to develop outside the uterus.
During your first trimester, you should seek medical attention for: Severe pain Pain accompanied by discharge from your vagina that is bloody, yellow, and/or smelly Pain with urination Pain with fever Pain that does not go away when you try to manage it safely Second Trimester Pregnancy Pain During the middle three months of your pregnancy, you should feel good most of the time. However, you may begin to notice that the changes in your body Joy feelings magazine
are causing you some discomfort or even pain. For instance, ligament pain occurs when connective tissue in your abdomen and pelvis starts to loosen and stretch. It can feel like a sharp pain in the groin, says Calhoun. As your pregnancy progresses, other pain you might experience can be due to: Your shifting center of gravity Chemical changes that are loosening your joints and connective tissue Strain from changes in posture and sleep position
Strain from carrying the extra weight of the baby and additional weight gain Third Trimester Pregnancy Pain At this point, your baby is growing heavy, so your joints and back can be achy and painful. Calhoun recommends a support belt that helps lift your growing belly, as well as massage, to ease pain. Tylenol may also be taken to treat backaches and other aches and pains. During this time, watch out for contraction pains. If they are hard, frequent, and don’t get better after you rest for a while, contact your doctor. Other
Joy feelings magazine
reasons to contact your doctor at this stage are: Pain with bleeding from your vagina Pain throughout the uterus along with fever Pain with urination “In the third trimester, all pain that doesn’t go away easily should be evaluated,” says Calhoun. Even back pain that sticks around could be a cause for concern, as this is a symptom of early labor. Pregnancy Pain From Other Health Conditions In addition to run-of-themill pregnancy aches and pains, certain conditions may be more painful during pregnancy. Work
with your doctor to manage pain due to: Shingles Sickle-cell anemia Fibromyalgia Chronic pain conditions
but appropriate exercises and stretching can help keep your body flexible and strong, and may relieve or even prevent some joint and muscular pain
It may not be possible to get through pregnancy without some kind of pain,
SIMPLE WAYS TO RELIEVE STRESS Listen to Music
If you're feeling overwhelmed by a Joy feelings magazine
stressful situation, try taking a break and
listening to relaxing classical music. Playing calm music has a positive effect on the brain and body, can lower blood pressure, and reduce cortisol, a hormone linked to stress. We recommend cello master Yo-Yo Ma playing
Bach, but if classical really isn’t your thing, try listening to ocean or nature sounds. It may sound cheesy, but they display similar relaxing effects to music. Call a Friend
If you're feeling overwhelmed, take a break to call a friend and talk about your problems. Good relationships with
friends and loved ones are important to any healthy lifestyle, and there's no time that this is more evident than when you're

under a lot of stress. A reassuring voice, even for a minute, can put everything in perspective. Talk Yourself Through It Sometimes calling a friend is not an option. If this is the case, talking calmly to yourself can be the next best thing. Don’t worry about seeming crazy—just tell yourself why you're stressed out, what you have to do to complete the task at hand, and most importantly, that everything will be OK (trust us, it will be). Eat Right Stress levels and a proper diet are closely related. Unfortunately, it’s when we have the most work that we forget to eat well and resort to using sugary, fatty snack foods as a pick-me-up. Try to avoid Joy feelings magazine
the vending machine and plan ahead. Fruits and vegetables are always good, and fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce the symptoms of stress. A tuna sandwich really is brain food. Laugh It Off Laughter releases endorphins that improve mood and decrease levels of the stress-causing hormones cortisol and ad renaline. Laughing tricks your nervous system into making you happy. However, bursting into a fit of giggles at your desk may not be the most appropriate way to deal with stress. Our suggestion: watch some classic Monty Python skits like "The Ministry of Silly Walks." Those Brits are so

lifting at the gym or training for a marathon. A short walk around the office or simply standing up to stretch during a break at work can offer immediate relief in a stressful situation. Getting your blood moving releases endorphins and can improve your mood almost instantaneously.
Sleep Better

Learn More About Stress Relief Stress is an unavoidable part of life, but that doesn't mean you should ignore it. Too much untreated stress can cause potentially serious physical and mental health problems. The good news is that in many cases, stress is fairly manageable. With some patience and a few useful strategies, you can reduce Joy feelings magazine
your stress, whether it's family stress or stress at the workplace. Breathe Easy The advice “take a deep breath” may seem like a cliché, but it holds true when it comes to stress. For centuries, Buddhist monks have been conscious of deliberate breathing during meditation. For an easy three- to five-minute
exercise, sit up in your chair with your feet flat on the floor and hands on top of your knees. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply, concentrating on your lungs as they expand fully
in your chest. While shallow breathing causes stress, deep breathing oxygenates your blood, helps center your body, and clears your mind.
OTHER WAYS TO DEAL WITH YOUR STRESS
of these stress-relieving tips can get you from OMG to om in less than 15 minutes. 1. Meditate
You don't need a spa weekend or a retreat. Each Joy feelings magazine
A few minutes of practice per day can help
ease anxiety. “Research suggests that daily meditation may alter the brain’s neural pathways, making you more resilient to stress,”
says psychologist Robbie Maller Hartman, PhD, a Chicago health and wellness.
It's simple. Sit up straight with both feet on the floor. Close your eyes. Focus your attention on reciting - out loud or silently -- a positive mantra such as “I feel at peace” or “I love myself.” Place one hand on your belly to sync the
mantra with your breaths. Let any distracting thoughts float by like clouds.
Joy feelings magazine
2. Breathe Deeply Take a 5-minute break and focus on your breathing. Sit up straight, eyes
closed, with a hand on your belly. Slowly inhale through your nose, feeling the breath start in your abdomen and work its way to the top of your head. Reverse the process as you exhale through your mouth.
Enjoy the texture and taste of each bite of food. When you spend time in the moment and focus on your senses, you should feel less tense. 4. Reach Out
“Deep breathing counters the effects of stress by slowing the heart rate and lowering blood pressure,” psychologist Judith Tutin, PhD, says. She's a certified life coach in Rome, GA.
Your social network is one of your best tools for handling stress. Talk to others -- preferably face to face, or at least on the phone. Share what's going on. You can get a fresh perspective while keeping your connection strong.
3. Be Present
5. Tune In to Your Body
Slow down.
Mentally scan your body to get a sense of how stress affects it each day. Lie on your back, or sit with your feet on the floor. Start at your toes and work your way up to your scalp, noticing how your body feels.
“Take 5 minutes and focus on only one behavior with awareness,” Tutin says. Notice how the air feels on your face when you’re walking and how your feet feel hitting the ground. Joy feelings magazine
“Simply be aware of places you feel tight or loose without trying to change anything,” Tutin says. For 1 to 2 minutes, imagine each deep breath flowing to that body part. Repeat this process as you move your focus up your body, paying close attention to sensations you feel in each body part. Joy feelings magazine
6. Decompress Place a warm heat wrap around your neck and shoulders for 10 minutes. Close your eyes and relax your face, neck, upper chest, and back muscles. Remove the wrap, and use a tennis ball or foam roller tomassage away tension. “Place the ball between your back and the wall.
Lean into the ball, and hold gentle pressure for up to 15 seconds. Then move the ball to another spot, and apply pressure,” says Cathy Benninger, a nurse
practitioner and assistant professor at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus.
A good belly laugh doesn’t just lighten the load mentally. It lowers cortisol, your body’s stress hormone, and boosts brain chemicals called endorphins, which help your mood. Lighten up by tuning in to your favorite sitcom or video, reading the comics, or
chatting with someone who makes you smile.
Joy feelings magazine
7. Laugh Out Loud
8. Crank Up the Tunes Research shows that listening to soothing music can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety. “Create a playlist of songs or nature sounds (the ocean, a bubbling brook, birds
chirping), and allow your mind to focus on the different melodies, instruments, or singers in the piece,” Benninger says. You also can blow off steam by rocking out to more upbeat tunes -- or singing at the top of your lungs! 9. Get Moving You don’t have to run in order to get a runner’s high. All forms of exercise, including yoga and walking, can ease depression and anxiety by helping the brain release feel-good chemicals and by giving your body a chance to practice dealing with stress. You can go for a quick walk around the block, take the stairs up and down a few flights, or Joy feelings magazine
do some stretching exercises like head rolls and shoulder shrugs. 10. Be Grateful Keep a gratitude journal or several (one by your bed, one in your purse, and one at work) to help you remember all the things that are good in your life. “Being grateful for your blessings cancels out negative thoughts and worries,” says Joni Emmerling, a wellness coach in Greenville, NC. Use these journals to savor good experiences like a child’s smile, a sunshinefilled day, and good health. Don’t forget to celebrate accomplishments like mastering a new task at work or a new hobby
HOW TO STAY HAPPY 1. SET AN INTENTION Intentions are the cornerstones to creating your reality folks. And every part of your life deserves at least one! Here is mine for my well-being emotionally: I intend to live in the now and feel greater and greater depths of love, fun, joy, happiness, ecstasy, compassion and caring for myself and others; to have fun continuously, and to open (more every day) to my creativity, psychic abilities and passion. 2. HOLD IT IN YOUR IMAGE Joy feelings magazine
When you think of yourself, do you think of an ecstatically happy person? No? Well lets change that shall we? Your self concept keeps you locked into a reality that will support your self concept. Change your vision of yourself, and you will change your reality. Affirmation: I am happy and becoming happier each and every day! 3. LOOK FOR REASONS TO BE HAPPY It doesn’t take much of this to shift from self-pity (or any other constrictive state) to happy. Keeping a gratitude journal is one of the most amazing ways to stay happy and exuding a
flow of good things coming to you. The caveat: you must do this in earnest. Writing a laundry list that you don’t feel real love and appreciation towards is an exercise in futility. It only counts if you’re actually feeling the gratitude. 4. EMPOWER YOURSELF It’s hard to feel happy if you feel powerless and hopeless. And some people have good reason to feel this way, and perhaps happiness eludes them. You’re not one of them. If you are reading this blog you are ready to accept your divinity, your power and your ability to create your own reality. Joy feelings magazine
But it doesn’t happen overnight and it doesn’t happen just by saying it. If you have beliefs that deny who you are, that downplay your power, that imply you don’t deserve a phenomenal and exciting life you absolutely adore, then change them. If you are serious about being ecstatically happy and creating a life you love, your growth should be a priority. It is possible. Commit. 5. SLOW, SLOW, SLOW DOWN One of the biggest happiness stealers is multi-tasking. What? You couldn’t live without multi-tasking? Ok, fine. But you will have to give up ‘multi-
thinking’ if you are serious about happiness. Most of us are so focused on what is left to do, we stop paying attention to what it is we are doing. And it stops being enjoyable. And there goes our happy. Give yourself 5 minutes a day, or 5 minutes 3 times a day, to make a list of what needs to be accomplished that day. That’s it. The rest of the time, slow down and be present.
We all have things that nurture us, that feed our soul and rejuvenate us. Joy feelings magazine
Really feel the sun on your face as you walk to the car. Really pay attention to that store clerk who bags your groceries. Send ‘em a little love. Really focus on that email and only that email, not the 72 unread in your inbox. This is a magical fix folks. Try it. You’ll like it. 6. HONOR YOUR NEEDS AND WHAT FEEDS YOUR SOUL
Some of these things are actual needs.
I have a need for solitude. If I don’t get solitude at least once a week if not each day, I am not a happy camper. Life gets hard and I get cranky. For me, solitude is a need. For my husband, physical exercise is a need. When he is able to swim, bike, play tennis or ski, everything else he does gets easier. For him, exercise is a need. What are your needs? Are you giving yourself permission to fill them? And what feeds your Soul? Things that feed your Soul aren’t needs, they are preferences that offer great benefit. They are the things that you love that make you more. Being in nature may feed your Soul. Beauty may feed your Soul. Music Joy feelings magazine
may do this for some. Hobbies do this for others. Giving yourself the permission and time to do the things that nurture you is a key to staying happy. 7. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU Your body has needs, which if not heeded, can have debilitating effects on your physical andemotional bodies. Good clean diet, exercise to fit your temperament, and relaxation activities to reduce stress should all be part of your normal way of life. If they aren’t, please add them. A body undernourished, filled with toxins, and stressed out is not going to add to your happiness or your
ability to consciously create your world.
well-being to higher states.
If you don’t believe you can add these things to your life, for either financial reasons or time constraints, change those beliefs! Your life is your creation.
Aromatherapy is another great way to change your mood. Simple and effective, aromatherapy is in widespread use by medical professionals in Europe and although it hasn’t caught on as well in the USit is readily available. There are lots of good aromatherapy books out there, but make sure you only buy 100% pure essential oils.
8. USE MOOD ALTERING SUBSTANCES Ah, now don’t get excited, that’s not what I’m talking about. I am talking about amazing mood altering, nature given flower essences and aromatherapy. I have worked with Bach Flower Remedies for years. And they are phenomenally effective (actually miraculous) in lifting your emotional Joy feelings magazine
9. GET PROFESSIONAL HELP (IF YOU NEED IT) We all need a little help sometimes. And that goes for mentally and emotionally too.
If you are dealing with intense grief, depression, anxiety or other debilitating emotional states, find someone to help you through this until you can manage getting to the happy place by yourself. 10. ASK FOR HELP (NEED IT OR NOT) Finally, don’t forget to call on your unseen friends. Although this is listed last, it is actually the firstthing I do when I find myself in a state less than total joy!
How do you ask for help? Just say something like (in your head), “Hey Higher Self, Soul, counselors, and the rest of my team, I intend to feel happy, and I’m not there right now… please help me to get there?” That’s it. They are always there… always listening, and if you allow them, will always help. Good luck staying happy folks… I know it’s possible, and I know you deserve it. In joyous creation,

ELVIS PRESLEY
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King".
Joy feelings magazine
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and when he was 13 years old, he and his family relocated to Memphis, Tennessee. His music career began there in 1954, when he recorded a song with producer Sam Phillips at Sun Records. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was an early popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who managed the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one Joy feelings magazine
hit in the United States. He was regarded as the leading figure of rock and roll after a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines that coincided with the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement, made him enormously popular—and controversial. In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender. In 1958, he was drafted into military service. He resumed his recording career two years later, producing some of his most commercially successful work before devoting much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and their accompanying soundtrack albums, most of which were critically derided. In 1968, following a sevenyear break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed televised comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley was featured in the first globally broadcast concert via satellite, Aloha from Hawaii. Several years of prescription drug abuse severely damaged his health, and he died in 1977 at the age of 42. Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, blues and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded Joy feelings magazine
music, with estimated record sales of around 600 million units worldwide.He won three Grammys, also receiving the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame. Forbes named Elvis Presley as the 2nd top earning dead celebrity with $55 million as of 2011
ELVIS PRESLEY’S WIFE, DAUGHTER, AND GRANDDAUGHTER LOOK STUNNING ON ‘MAD MAX’ RED CARPET
Joy feelings magazine
Elvis Presley’s former wife, daughter, and his granddaughter made a rare public appearance together in Hollywood on Thursday night. Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley showed their support to Riley Keough by attending the premiere Mad Max: Fury Road at the TCL Chinese Theater, according to People Magazine. Riley has a role in the action film that is set for release on May 15. Joy feelings magazine
Riley’s life has changed in a big way since she filmed the movie in 2012. She met her husband on the set of the film, which also stars Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Zoë Kravitz and Abbey Lee. Ben Smith-Peterson worked as a stuntman for the film. He also attended Thursday night’s premiere. Riley and Ben married just this year in February. According to The Spread It, Keough was a bit star struck by her co-stars, especially model Abbey Lee. She googled all of her co-stars after she was cast in the film, and she had no idea how she would be able to work with Lee. However, Zoe Kravitz, another co-star on the film, helped with the introductions. “I was like, ‘That’s the girl, I think that’s Abbey!’ We were chatting and deciding whether we should go over there. Zoë thought it might have been awkward. We were being weird and girlie and trying to make eye contact with her, and staring at each other from across the way… then finally I went up to her and introduced myself. She was shy and I was trying to make dumb small talk, awkward jokes, but then after the really long plane ride we got to Africa and had already become friends.” All of three of the Presley women looked stunning on the red carpet, and they posed for photos together. The three each showed off their figures with form fitting clothes, according to a previous Inquisitr report. Joy feelings magazine
While beauties like Charlize Theron and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley attended at the premiere event, everyone was looking at the Presley women. Elvis Presley may have died nearly 40 years ago, but he is still a person that everyone wants to know about. That even translates to the women in his life. Yes, even in death, the King is still the King. Elvis Presley has been in the news a lot in recent weeks. Late last month, a new exhibit of memorabilia belonging to Presley opened in Las Vegas. Graceland Presents Elvis: The Exhibition is housed at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino, and it contains over 300 artifacts that were once housed in his home in Memphis. Priscilla and Lisa Marie attended the opening, and they cut the ribbon. According to Voice of America, Priscilla spoke about Elvis’ connection to the city of Las Vegas. “This is where his home was. He loved coming here. He was very fond of Vegas and I think that, if not touring, still coming to Vegas [is] what he loved best.” Elvis fans are still very fanatical when it comes to items once owned by the singer. Many will visit this new exhibit, and some fans go even further and buy items once owned by Elvis at auction. According to Daily Mail Online, the bottle of Parafon Forte pills subscribed to Joy feelings magazine
Elvis the day before his death are now going up for auction on May 16. “The bottle was discovered after the singer’s death in the bottom of his racquetball bag by Jo Smith, the wife of Billy Smith who was Elvis’s cousin and member of the so-called Memphis Mafia, a close group of friends and family who looked out for him. Their son Danny sold it to an Elvis collector in 2002. There are letters of authenticity signed by Dr. Nichopoulos and Billy and Jo Smith, validating both pill bottles.” The item will be on sale at Julien’s Auctions in New York. While some might think a pill bottle would have no worth or that someone might be insane wanting to buy such an item, Darren Juilen from the auction revealed that there is a desire for such items by Elvis’ fans. “There is no question that Elvis took these pills. Nobody else would have taken his prescription. It may seem a little macabre but anything touched or used by a rock icon like Elvis is desirable to fans. ‘Some years ago, we sold the first Elvis pill bottle that a lady found in the trash at Graceland for a considerable amount of money and we started to realize there was a market for this type of thing. These items are quite poignant and significant because it was his addiction to these pills that led to his downfall and death. They played a part in both his life and death.” Joy feelings magazine
Fans can see a bit about Elvis and his life by visiting the new Vegas exhibit or his home in Memphis. At Graceland, fans see his home and his planes. After some controversy, it has been reported that his planes will remain on display at Graceland. It is clear that the Presley family is still well loved by many years after Elvis’ death. What do you think of the three Presley women stepping out together to attend the Mad Max premiere?
