| Until I started my Happiness Project, I didn't think much about rituals and whether they made me happy. But when I reflected on them, I realized that I found rituals both calming and energizing. For example, in my high school, exams were taken very seriously. When everyone was steeled at a desk, the teacher would pass out the papers, and we would lay them face down. She would return to the front of the classroom, look at the clock, and say quietly, "It is 9:10 now. You have two hours. Be sure to read all the instructions carefully"-then a pause -"you may turn over your test paper and begin now." This familiar, quiet formula made the start of an exam into a little ritual that put me in the right frame of mind to face a tense exam. In kindergarten, after singing a good-bye song, the children stand in a circle in the classroom, while the grown-ups wait in a line outside the door. The teacher calls the children's names, one by one, and the child comes to the door to get a big hug and to leave. The orderliness of this process keeps everyone calm and cheerful. So think about rituals in your life. Take a moment to taste the enjoyable ones. Think about opportunities to heighten the experience of an ordinary occasion by treating it with special consideration. This is particularly useful if it's a stressful or emotional experience, discussing a child's report card, giving a performance review. Packing for a trip, or getting ready for a date. Studies show that family traditions and family rituals encourage children's social development and improve feeling of family. They're not just important for children but for the whole society. |

| As Americans' health and fitness levels continue to decline, many of those in the worst shape are afraid to go to a "regular" gym to improve their poor health. They somehow feel embarrassed and don't know how to begin. For these individuals, boutique gyms that specialize in particular parts of population may be good choices. These special gyms provide a more personal setting tor those returning to a healthy lifestyle or starting a fitness program for the first time. Personal training and individualized attention are key features of these new kinds of gyms. Bulldog Fitness, a gym for kids only, is using the latest trend in video games that provide a workout to engage their young members. Playstation2 Game Bikes, the Treadwall (a rock climbing wall that moves with you), and DDR Dance Machines are customers' favorites. Meanwhile, Irene Pastore of Senior Fit in New York city shows that "age is no excuse for ill-health." Her boutique gym focuses on the health risks associated with sedentary living. Personal training programs are designed specifically for seniors depending on their special needs. "We feel that people that need the most guidance often don't know where to turn. If America is going to change its current health decline, the public and healthcare industry needs to pay more attention to the unique needs of customers," says Dr. Sal Arria, CEO and founder of the International Sports Science Association (IS-SA). Dr. Arria claims that those returning to a fitness state should make certain that they choose a trainer who holds a specialized certification that qualifies them to work with their individual area of need. |
