1) I have a hobby (makeup) and I think any hobby is good to keep you happy and balanced. It is something that you can lose yourself in and really enjoy for a small portion of each day.

2) My family time is very important to me. We spend a small portion just talking each day as we have dinner or a late snack. We turn off all electronics and be with each other.

3)Music.

4) Exercise. I do pilates  three times a week and walk for 45 minutes every day and it makes me feel so good!

5) Diet. i eat very healthy and drink my eight glasses of water every day! I feel so much better when i do all of these things!

Each day I wake up and give thanks for another day! I try to smile through whatever obstacles come my way. I enjoy eating loads of fruits and veggies- and share with my office-mate.  A little lip gloss for some color and I'm set!

Thank you!

It's a work in progress to stay balanced & happy. I take time for myself when I can, even if it's only 15 minutes. I can have a mini pampering session in my bathroom, taking extra steps to moisturize my hair & skin after exfoliating when necessary. I listen to soothing music or upbeat music to help calm or bring my mood up. A comedy movie is also great to watch with my family to bring  smiles to our faces & make us laugh. Massage, meditation, and aromatherapy are all great ways to bring balance & happiness into my day. Connecting with other humans who are cheerful is pleasant; by phone, e-mail; or a handwritten note. You can show support for each other in good times & bad. 

I have never won anything but it would be great to be able to fix my skin. I could sure use it I know that. I look old for my age no matter what I do to stay healthy and keep in shape.

I stay healthy and balanced by trying not to stress much and always take the time to listen to music I enjoy and watch movies that make me feel good.

My faith, loving husband, 2 wonderful sisters, and a wonderful church family, are the things that keep me happy and balanced. I have had 8 major surgeries in the past 4 years and lost my six-figure job because of it. Without my faith, family and friends, I would not be here right now to join this discussion.

I recently moved so I can start living a less stressful life and a calmer one. I take one day at a time.

I stay happily balanced by drinking green tea on a daily basis. I also enjoy writing poetry. Those are my ideas of absolute bliss. 

I stay happy and balanced by sticking to my daily workouts and drinking lots of water. 

Unfortunately I don't get enough of it because I have a 1 yr old and a 7 yr old, but what time I can find I savor with a good book or magazine.
