7 ways stress can be good for you...

While chronic stress can damage your cognitive and physical health, these seven studies show how short-term or moderate stress can actually be healthy for your mind and body.

1. Lowers your risk of premature death — if you have the right attitude. A 2013 study found that participants who reported that they were under a lot of stress but didn’t feel that it affected their health had a lower risk for premature death than both those who perceived their stress as a health hazard, and those who felt barely any stress at all!

2. Boosts production of neurons that improve performance. In an animal study, putting mice under mild stress caused the release of stress hormones, which spurred the growth of new neurons. Two weeks later those new neurons appeared to improve the mice’s performance on learning tests.

3. Strengthens your immune system. Short bursts of stress cause the release of hormones which send a message to immune cells to go from a resting to a ready state — even before a wound or infection.

4. Makes you friendlier. In a 2012 study, participants were either put in a stressful or control situation and afterwards paired up to play a series of games. During game play, those who had recently been in the stressful situation showed more prosocial behaviors, like trust and sharing, than the control group.

5. Improves your ability to learn. After spending 60 seconds with their hands in a bucket of ice (a stressful condition), men performed better on learning tests than an unstressed group.

6. Improves your memory. Researchers found that the brains of rats put under a moderate amount of stress showed an increase in the neurotransmitter glutamine, which is known to improve working memory. In tests four hours later and one day later the stressed rats made fewer mistakes navigating a maze.


7. Gets you in touch with your instincts. A study required people to give a presentation, give a five minute interview and count backwards by 13 in front of a group of judges. The more stressed out participants reported being, the better they performed on a task where they had to ignore details and trust their instincts.

This Guy Isn't Having Sex Tonight. The Reason Why Is Hilarious.


One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.'

I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!'

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...

'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.'

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?'

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Lets get a pair for each outfit.'

We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.' She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, 'I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier.'

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.'

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 'WHAT?'

I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.'

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 'Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?'


Apparently I'm not having sex tonight.

most unexpected taxi ride...

This Was The Most Unexpected Taxi Ride Ever... I've Got Goosebumps Everywhere Now

The cab driver was on his final customer... he didn't see this coming. When we think about life, oftentimes we think about OUR life. But we share this beautiful planet with 7.125 billion others meaning there are a LOT of other people in this world.

This cabbie in New York recently picked up a passenger at the end of his shift - things weren't going to plan at all... but it was perfect. You'll see why...


What a great reminder that life is not always about us... treasure every moment you have with your loved ones. Share this with your friends today - you never know who might need to see this.

Upset Mother Just Wrote A Letter To All Young Girls Posting Photos Online

This Upset Mother Just Wrote A Letter To All Young Girls Posting Photos Online. And It's Brilliant
Kimberly Hall noticed her son's female friends were posting very provocative photos so she recently wrote an eye-opening letter to them... she writes:

''Dear girls,

I have some information that might interest you. Last night, as we sometimes do, our family sat around the dining-room table and looked through the summer's social media photos.

We have teenage sons, and so naturally there are quite a few pictures of you lovely ladies to wade through. Wow - you sure took a bunch of selfies in your skimpy pj's this summer! Your bedrooms are so cute! Our eight-year-old daughter brought this to our attention, because with three older brothers who have rooms that smell like stinky cheese, she notices girly details like that.

I think the boys notice other things. For one, it appears that you are not wearing a bra.

I get it - you're in your room, so you're heading to bed, right? But then I can't help but notice the red carpet pose, the extra-arched back, and the sultry pout. What's up? None of these positions is one I naturally assume before sleep, this I know.

So, here's the bit that I think is important for you to realize. If you are friends with a Hall boy on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter, then you are friends with the whole Hall family.

Please know that we genuinely like staying connected with you this way. We enjoy seeing things through your unique and colorful lens. You are insightful, interesting, and often very, very funny - which is what makes your latest self-portrait so extremely unfortunate.

That post doesn't reflect who you are at all! We think you are lovely, and smart. But, we had to cringe and wonder what you were trying to do? Who are you trying to reach? What are you trying to say?

And now - big bummer - we have to block your posts. Because, the reason we have these (sometimes awkward) family conversations around the table is that we care about our sons, just as we know your parents care about you.

I know your family would not be thrilled at the thought of my teenage boys seeing you only in your towel. Did you know that once a male sees you in a state of undress, he can't quickly un-see it? You don't want the world to see you primarily in this sexual way, do you?

Neither do we: we're all more than that.

And so, in our house, there are no second chances with pics like that, ladies. We have a zero tolerance policy. I know, so lame. But, if you want to stay friendly with our sons online, you'll have to keep your clothes on, and your posts decent. If you post a sexy selfie (we all know the kind), or an inappropriate YouTube video - even once - it's curtains.

I know that sounds so old-school, but we are hoping to raise men with a strong moral compass, and men of integrity don't linger over pictures of scantily clad high-school girls.

Every day I pray for the women my boys will love. I hope they will be drawn to real beauties, the kind of women who will leave them better people in the end. I also pray that my sons will be worthy of this kind of woman, that they will be patient, and act honorably, while they wait for her.

Girls, it's not too late. If you think you've made an on-line mistake (we all do), run to your accounts and take down the closed-door bedroom selfies that makes it too easy for friends to see you in only one dimension.

Will you trust me? There are boys out there waiting and hoping for women of character. Some young men are fighting the daily uphill battle to keep their minds clear, and their thoughts praiseworthy - just like you.

You are growing into a real beauty, inside and out.

Act like her, speak like her, post like her.

Mrs. Hall''

Wow! This is powerful. Do you think Kimberly's views are correct or do you think she's overbearing on her kids' friendships? I know not everyone will agree with her but I do - women are so much more valuable than just for their bodies - it's time someone spoke up and I'm glad Kimberly did. You can see more of her writings at her website: http://givenbreath.com/

If you agree with her words today, please share them with your friends.

to all women...

To the women: just because a man likes it, doesn't mean that respects it. There's nothing honorable about 1000 likes from a flock of man who are staring at yout butt, breasts, thighs, duckfaces and tongue lashes; imagining what they'd do to you in bed. You're no longer a woman in their eyes, you're an object, a piece of meat, a vein imagination in the mind of a luster. You want to be sexy and feel beautiful, I get it. But being respected and loved should mean more. Beauty is in modesty and a man won't love a woman he can't respect. "DON'T BELIEVE THE LIKES" -anonymous

how to make a woman truly happy...

So This Is How To Make A Woman Happy? LOL!


I'm glad it's not only me! Relationships can be hard - they never seem like how they are in the movies. For most of us, it's a lot of work but usually very rewarding.

Men have tried to understand women since the dawn of time. Sometimes it's really a case of men are from Mars, women are from Venus. And you won't see a better example of it than in this story below!

If this gave you a good laugh today, don't forget to share it with your friends! :)

brain and heart: listening is important



Women like silent men. They think they're listening.

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.

"Silent" and "listen" are spelled with the same letters.

The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention.

The easiest way to meet people is to just look like someone who is willing to listen.

No one is listening until you fart.
