Summer is a season of pleasure-seeking activities filled with vacations, sun (vitamin D), and BBQ’s. Summer is often associated with happiness and freedom, so I thought we could review another hedonistic endeavor, sex.
What thoughts come to mind when you think of sex? For some it may have positive associations but for others sex may be viewed in an unfavorable light. I think all too often that sex gets a bad rap. Conversations about sex can bring up feelings of anxiety or embarrassment. If you tune into the media, sex is commonly associated with scandal, shame, or the “don’t talk about it” message. The latter is especially true for the LGBT community. So in the spirit of breaking out of this negatively casted view of sex, this month’s newsletter is fully embracing the benefits and joy of sex!

Before you get ahead of yourself and start drawing conclusions without facts, reviewing these guidelines may be of some assistance. An article by Shahreen Abedin, of WebMD reviewed expert opinions that identified signs that your partner may still be into their ex.

Rejuvenating the Self & Creating Happiness in Your Life |
|
As May is upon us, it can be a time of re-evaluating your life and looking at new ways to revamp the monotony of daily living. If you’re thinking, “I could use some of that!” then this newsletter is for you. Start by looking at what you enjoy in your life and what brings you happiness. This could be a simple thing such as stopping to look at the intricate details of a flower blossom, or something on a grander scale such as hosting a party. Expand upon what you are great at and challenge yourself in an area you have never experienced. Both approaches are great ways of bringing happiness to your life. In today’s world of multi-tasking and continuous over-stimulation, have the self-discipline to practice mindfulness and ask yourself, “what do I want from life?” Doing so will reacquaint you with your core values and help enhance your happiness.

Are They Into Me? Behaviors That Indicate Attraction |
|
Ever wonder if a person is attracted to you? By analyzing clusters of non-verbal behaviors and body language we can pick up on these subtle cues that suggest the other person is interested. These behaviors include:
Dilated pupils: When we are around someone we like our pupils grow larger. Although this may be hard to see, you can try to gauge a baseline and notice a change as they look towards you (while being aware that pupils will naturally dilate or restrict depending on light). Interestingly enough, people find those with larger pupils to be more attractive. One study showed the same picture of a person and just changed the size of his pupils. People rated the photo of him with larger pupils more favorably. This may be a hard-wired subconscious method of finding those that are attracted to us.
Increased energy: When we like someone the chemical levels in our brains undergo several changes. The chemicals that result from physical attraction is phenyle ethylamine, it is a naturally occurring amphetamine substance in our brain that stimulates and increases both physical and emotional energy.
