Did you know research shows that being altruistic also improves your own health? If you've been trying to nail down some resolutions, maybe it's time to be nicer to others.

Help Yourself Find Happiness By Helping Others
Part of the reason helping other people helps improve your mental health is because it helps you stop thinking about your own problems for awhile. You also make more social connections and see immediate positive results. All good things.

Volunteer Work Helps You Find Meaning
If you're like me, some of your most cherished memories include the times you were volunteering. So get out there and make more of these memories in 2012!

Altruism Benefits Everyone
At the end of a volunteer project, you can take satisfaction in knowing that you not only helped yourself, you helped others. So, where would you like to volunteer?

But I'm Just Too Busy
Of course, one of the biggest obstacles to self-improvement (whether that's exercising, eating better or volunteering) is having enough free time.

Daily Life



From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
My wish for each of you is a healthier year in 2012! If I could just put that in a box and wrap it up, I'd send it to you. But good health is something you have to acquire for yourself. So here are some ways to get healthier and lower your risk for breast cancer at the same time.

Start Eating Anticancer Foods
There are a wide variety of foods that you can eat to boost your health. What it boils down to is this: get it fresh when you can; cook veggies quickly, but meat slowly, use whole grains, cut down on fat, sugar, and salt. Spice it with powerful antioxidants and combine complementary herbs and spices. Be picky about what you drink and modest in your portions. Avoid junk and fast food. Now read up to find out some good choices!

Douse the Fire and Down the Glass
Reduce your risk and add years to your life - now isn't that appealing? Here's two habits to kill off this year: tobacco and alcohol. There are so many great non-alcohoic drinks you can use, and some of them are even good for you! As for smoking, my friends are trying Chantix, nicotine patches, and getting support. Put out the fire and skip the liquor - live longer and healthier.

Exercise to Protect Your Health
Move it, use it, or lose it! Exercise, especially when done on a regular schedule, lowers your risk for many diseases, improves your circulation and your overall health. Exercise helps you drop those extra pounds and start looking and feeling healthier! Learn how much you need to move it, and how that's going to benefit you.

Scale Down to a Healthy Weight
Shedding your extra pounds comes with many benefits. You can reduce sleep apnea, joint pain, breathing problems, and your overall estrogen levels. All the fat, especially in menopausal women, stores excess estrogen - the hormone that fuels 80% of all breast tumors. So get some help with weight loss and feel the healthy difference it makes in your life.

Readers Respond: What Are Your New Year's Resolutions?
Every year, many people set New Year's Resolutions for themselves--plans for changes in one's life that can bring less stress, greater health, and increased happiness. (I recommend that people set goals rather than resolutions, in order to avoid new year perfectionism, burnout, and frustration that sabotage success.) What are your new year's resolutions? What do you really want in life? Share your new year's resolutions and tell why they're important, and see what others are planning for the new year!
