Some people spend their entire lifetime searching for the secret formula.
During the next few minutes, I'll show you how to easily infuse generous amounts of
natural happiness (fun, fitness, friendship, self-confidence, health, etc.)
into each day, with far less time and effort than you ever dreamed possible.
Start with a list of things which make you happy
We can do more when we're organized, so let's get organized.
Let's start by making a list of various things which are important to your OWN well-being and happiness.
These are things you want and need for yourself but there's just never enough time.
Fun makes people happy
Some rare individuals have a genuine smile in their step and a healthy positive outlook on life.
How do you feel when you meet someone like that?
Do you suspect this person has a magic secret?
Do you wish they'd share the secret with you?
Chances are very good that exceptionally happy people you meet every day are involved in some kind of fun activity.
A fun activity can lift your mood for days, even after the activity ends.
You need fun in your life.
Alas, the stress and pressure of today's busy lifestyle can make it hard to carve out enough time for fun.
Still, more fun in your life can transform you into a happier person who will bring joy to other people you meet.
Let's start your to-do list with “Have Fun”.
What else needs to be on your personal list of important things to do?
You deserve Entertainment
Whenever archeologists dig up ancient societies, they always discover theatres, arenas and concert halls.
Ancient civilizations knew the value of amusement, diversion and recreation.
Humans have always had a deep inner need to be amused and entertained.
Entertainment (theatre, comedy, song, dance, drama, mystery, etc.) has been part of human life for centuries.
So, add “Entertainment” to your growing list of things you need every week.
Friends create good times
In today's computerized world, it's harder and harder to develop genuine face-to-face friendships.
There's no substitute for the deep pleasure of strong ties with meaningful friends.
Where can we find good friends nowadays?
It's easy: just find fun friendly people and do fun friendly things with them.
When you do memorable activities with other people, bonds of friendship develop.
Whether or not you have enough spare time, let's add “Do Things With Friends” to your list of important things to do every week.
Exercise gives you health and happiness
While we might think of ourselves as forever young, in fact you are aging faster than your parents did.
People nowadays are less healthy and more heavy than any previous generation.
Compared to their parents, the current boomer generation has far more chronic illness, obesity-related disease, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, etc.
Each successive generation is more out of shape.
Experts say that exercise is the single best thing you can do to increase your overall happiness.
Exercise does you a world of good
Exercise lowers your blood pressure and other risk factors while boosting your strength, cognition and memory.
(Yes, exercise improves the brain as well as the body.)
When you take care of and improve your own body, you feel better.
Exercise is crucial if you want to lose weight and/or keep it off and/or stay in top health.
Everyday tasks become easier because exercise increases your strength, flexibility and endurance.
You'll look and feel better too.
People today definitely need exercise for health and happiness.
So please add “Exercise” to your list of important things to do for yourself every week.
Getting out is extremely important
In recent years sociologists have noticed a steady erosion in traditional social groups and activities that were once the heart of our communities.
Face-to-face encounters, such as membership in a Kiwanis Club or a bowling league, have been supplanted nowadays by online ties.
The hectic, career-centered schedules in many households make it harder to sustain authentic association with actual people.
Noted author Peter Block explains, “Associational life in general has been in a long decline”.
Want good health? Get out of the house!
Social ties are very important in our business as well as personal lives.
Socialization is crucial if you want optimum health.
Experts advise us to get out of the house and to go do things with other people.
In a recent study, people who did not leave their own homes were twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's as people who went out and socialized.
According to Dr. Bryan James, “Socially active people are less likely to develop problems with thinking and/or declining cognitive ability”.
So, add both “Get Out of the House” and “Socialize” to your list of things you need to do each week.
Patriotism makes us feel proud
Wanna see something foreign?
Go to any shopping mall.
The stores are full of goods from foreign countries.
Wanna see something else foreign?
Check out the nearest TV, radio, nightclub or restaurant.
Our world is full of merchandise, entertainment, music, dance and cuisine from a wide variety of countries.
But we live in the USA!
Doing All-American things brings a unique feeling of national pride.
We need to celebrate our American heritage.
So please add “Do Something Uniquely American” to your list of important things each week.
Relax for a happier you
How do you cope with worries and stress?
The most popular way is to find a stress-busting activity to clear and soothe your mind.
You get bonus points if you choose an activity which is healthy.
Replace stressful thoughts with comforting ones.
Add “Relax and De-stress” to your list of things to do each week.
Music affects mood
It's hard to imagine a world without music.
With all the pressure and tension of everyday life, music is more important today than ever before.
Music helps you enjoy life.
Music affects your mood, so you'll want to choose music which is lively, happy and energetic.
Add “Hear Happy Music” to your to-do list.
Family and/or close friends
Studies show that strong families spend time doing fun things together. Finding that time, however, can be quite a challenge. A recent (2009) study shows that families typically spend less than 25 minutes a day doing something fun together. Time together with family doesn’t just happen. It takes some planning, but it's well worth the effort. The payoff can be gigantic: a stronger family bond. Family members will long remember fun activities done together. Make a commitment to spend time doing fun things with family (or with very close friends, if you have no family nearby). Add “Spend Time With Family” to your list of things to do.
Wholesome activities
Nowadays it's hard to find good wholesome things to do with family members (or for that matter, by yourself).
Surely some recreational choices are fun and also good for you.
In today's world, can we still find smoke-free, alcohol-free, drug-free, profanity-free, good, clean fun?
What ever happened to honoring each other, saying please and thank you, acting like ladies and gentlemen, and celebrating the fact that we are civilized?
Wholesome activities do still exist.
It's just a matter of finding them and choosing to do them.
Please add “Do Something Good, Clean and Wholesome” to your list of things to do.
Team spirit gives feelings of accomplishment
Have you ever played team sports?
Being on a team brings a special kind of inner fulfillment.
Teams can accomplish far more than individuals.
Teamwork makes you feel great no matter which team actually wins.
The excitement of working together towards a common goal is very rewarding.
So please add “Be Part of a Team” to your list of things you need each week.
Laughter is the best medicine
In addition to joy and amusement of the moment, laughter brings significant long-term benefits.
Laughter can lower blood pressure, increase oxygen in the bloodstream, give a good workout to seldom-used muscles, reduce stress hormones, boost your immune system, increase brain activity, enhance memory and improve alertness.
Laughter is good for you.
Please add “Laughter” to your weekly list of important things you need.
Learn new things to keep your mind sharp
Experts tell us there are three ways to keep the brain vibrant and healthy: Exercise, socialize and learn.
According to Dr. Bryan James, a noted professor in internal medicine, “To prevent dementia, keep your mind mentally stimulated by learning new and complicated things”.
In other words, Use It or Lose It.
Please add “Learn New Things” to your list of important things to do.
You made a list, now check it twice
We could keep adding to your list of things you need, but you get the point.
You have a very long list of important things you need each week.
Your “To-Do Each Week” list is very long!
Your list of important things you need every week now includes:
- Have Fun
- Entertainment
- Do Things With Friends
- Exercise
- Get Out of the House
- Socialize
- Do Something Uniquely American
- Relax and De-Stress
- Hear Happy Music
- Spend Time with Family
- Do Something Good, Clean and Wholesome
- Teamwork
- Laughter
- Learn New Things
Not enough hours in the day
Every item on your list is important but there is just not enough time to accomplish all your tasks.
No wonder you feel stressed out and frustrated.
No matter how hard you try, you can't do everything.
You feel hopeless.
Consider a different approach
If you keep doing the same things you'll keep getting the same results.
But you don't want the same results: you want better results.
Your current routine does not let you accomplish the important things on your to-do list.
Clearly, it's time to try something different.
Think outside the box.
Come up with a way to do more in less time.
Multi-tasking gives you more results
If you try to do tasks one-by-one, you'll never finish your to-do list.
But what if you combine tasks to accomplish multiple things at the same time?
It's a simple yet brilliant solution to a complex problem.
But will it work?
Can we discover activities which accomplish several of your to-do items at the same time?
Maybe such activities exist.
For example ... “Fun with a Purpose”
Your to-do list includes “have fun” and “exercise”.
Both are important to you.
If you don't have time for both then you must choose one and ignore the other.
But what if you found an exercise which is also a lot of fun?
You could accomplish two important tasks at the same time!
Multi-tasking makes each event more rewarding
When you double up on tasks, each accomplishment feels more rewarding.
Many exercise plans aren't much fun but if you found a fun exercise, you'd be more motivated to exercise (because it's fun).
Many fun things aren't very good for you but if you found a fun healthy activity, you'd have even more fun doing it (because it's also good for you).
Clearly, whenever you can do two important things at once, the benefits multiply.
Another example
What if you could do four important things at the same time?
Your to-do list includes “get out of the house”, “hear happy music”, “spend time with family” and “teamwork”.
Can you imagine a team activity away from home which you can do with family and which involves happy music?
You'd get four important things done in one fell swoop.
By carefully choosing the right activities (ones which provide a lot of simultaneous benefits) you can accomplish far more than ever before.
Instead of checking off one item from your to-do list, you can check off several items at the same time.
This is a powerful concept.
What if ...
What if you could find one super-activity which accomplishes everything on your to-do list, all at the same time?
It would be awesome!
Can you imagine how free and simple your calendar would be, if you could check everything off your weekly to-do list with just one activity?
You'd be on Easy Street!
You'd get more done in less time.
You'd improve your health, composure, friendships, mental acuity, dexterity, cognition, serenity, fitness, completeness, etc ... all at the same time.
At the end of the day you'd have plenty of time left over to truly enjoy a new and better you.
Make a promise to yourself
Please promise yourself one important thing.
If you ever discover one easy-to-do super-activity which accomplishes everything on your to-do list at the same time ...
... please promise you'll try it at least once.
There is an excellent way ...
... to keep your promise and easily accomplish everything on your to-do list.
Keep reading to find out more.
Here's one solution
Millions of people find that dancing delivers a trainload of important benefits, all at the same time.
An extremely interesting fact about dancing is that almost everyone who tries it, likes it.
Even people who think they cannot dance are delighted to find that they can actually do the steps.
The benefits of dancing are immediately bestowed upon anyone who tries it, even a rank beginner.
It's like getting paid just to try something!
Dancing is an extremely smart way to get the most benefits (physical, mental, emotional, social) all at the same time with the least amount of time and effort.
Experts agree
As we discussed earlier, you can do more in less time by choosing activities which accomplish many things at once.
Dancing is your best choice.
Dancing is unique because it combines the heart-healthy benefits of an aerobic exercise with mental stimulation and a social activity.
According to the Mayo Clinic, social dancing reduces stress, increases energy, improves strength and increases muscle tone and coordination, all at the same time.
Dr. Oz says, “Dancing is one of the few activities shown to involve both physical activity and mental stimulation significant enough to reduce the risk of dementia” which is medical-speak for “dancing benefits you physically, mentally and socially, all at the same time”.
Dancing gives you everything on your to-do list
As soon as you take your very first step, dancing fulfills your entire list of important weekly needs:
- Have Fun - guaranteed! That's exactly why so many people in your own community and around the world love to dance.
- Entertainment - certainly! The combination of music, movement, friendship and ambience can easily be the highlight of your week.
- Do Things With Friends - yes indeed! Even if you don't know anyone, you'll soon make many good friends at a dance.
- Exercise - absolutely! Burn 400 to 800 calories per hour while having a blast.
- Get Out of the House - yes! Dancing is an excellent reason to go out and do something fun and worthwhile.
- Socialize - to the max! Dancing is more than just looking at or talking with people. You actually interact and cooperate with them.
- Do Something Uniquely American - possibly! Some dance forms are totally American.
- Relax and De-Stress - naturally! Escape from your daily pressures in a very happy way.
- Hear Happy Music - positively! Dance music is more than just "happy". It fills you with life, zest and energy. Dance music makes you feel great.
- Spend Time with Family - yes! Dancing is one of the few recreations that a couple or even an entire family can enjoy together. Of course singles enjoy dancing too.
- Do Something Good, Clean and Wholesome - very true! Your parents and grandparents probably went out and danced. It's good clean wholesome fun.
- Teamwork - right! You're on a team with other dancers in your group.
- Laughter - spontaneous! The main reason to go to a dance is to have fun.
- Learn New Things - constantly! If you don't know how to dance, you can find out how. If you already dance, you can pick up new steps and styles.
A note to the gentlemen
Women are usually more eager than men to go dancing.
This actually works in your favor.
If you already have a special lady in your life then it's to your advantage to do things she enjoys.
If you do not have a special lady, then dancing is a great way to meet ladies.
It just seems so crazy for gents, who would really enjoy the company of ladies, to automatically reject a wonderful activity which brings ladies and gents together: dancing.
It's just plain common sense.
If you're looking for ladies, go where ladies like to go: dancing.
Just sayin'!

All dance styles give you multiple benefits at the same time but one particular dance style gives you maximum benefits in these areas:

Square dancing sucked in gym class ... what's different now?
- In gym class you danced to old fiddle tunes on ancient scratchy vinyl records. Today you'll dance to the greatest music of all time in hi-definition audio.
- In gym class you were forced to square dance. Today it's your choice.
- In gym class, if you made a mistake in front of your classmates you felt embarassed. Today you frankly don't care what fifth-grade school children think about you.
- In gym class, you were taught by a mean old teacher who probably did not even know how to dance. Today experienced leaders who are fun, enthusiastic and entertaining will show you how.
- In gym class, you had to hold hands with people of the opposite sex, and they usually had cooties. (You didn't know exactly what cooties were, but you knew they existed and that people of the opposite sex had them.) Today you enjoy positive interaction with people of the opposite sex, and you haven't thought of the word cootie in years.
- In gym class, they did not let you smile or laugh or have a good time. Today's square dancing is extremely fun, healthy, positive and entertaining.
You're in the right spot
Decades ago, people would go to the only wide-open indoor space they could find ... a barn ... and they'd have a dance.
While you can still dance in a barn, when's the last time you were actually in a barn?
Today's people frequent schools, community centers, churches and various other modern edifices.
It's no surprise that today we square dance in modern meeting places such as schools, community centers, churches, recreation centers and dance halls built specifically for dancing.
Times have changed where we do things, but times have not changed the important things we need to do each week.
Single? Couple? Everyone will feel welcome
Some people incorrectly think of square dancing as an activity for four couples, yet it is actually an activity for eight people.
You do not need a partner.
If you want to show up with a partner, that's fine too.
Your partner can be whomever you want, regardless of gender or relationship.
At a square dance you'll find singles, couples, married people whose life partner does not dance, families, and groups of friends who show up together.
You'll find people who dance and people who enjoy just watching the action.
They're fun-loving people even though they do not dance.
You are welcome to bring people with you (whether or not they dance).
You totally do not need a partner to come with you, but you're totally welcome to bring a partner.

Want more self-confidence?
Dancing gives you many unexpected yet valuable benefits.
For example, dancing can boost your self-confidence.
A dancer in the Denver area, who started out very shy but is now a group leader, says it best:
“Dancing gave me a lot of self-confidence.
I've also seen this happen in some other people as well.
Dancing pulled me out of my shyness and helped me feel confident not just in dancing but in other things as well.
Dancing has made a giant difference in my life.”
Spice up your life -- do something different
Are you in a slump? Are you in a rut? Bring some creativity into your life!
Be willing to climb out of a rut and try something fun and different.
After you try square dancing, you can proudly tell everyone you know that you actually went out and did something fun and different.
A teenage dancer in Colorado says it best. He writes,
"Square dancing is cool because when you walk into a dance, you never know what you're going to do, who you're going to meet, how fast or slow the dances are going to be.
When you walk through those doors, you never know what to expect."
That unpredictable rush -- combined with the killer workout and all of the friends he has made -- have kept this 18-year-old coming back as often as possible for six years.
