The pursuit of happiness

The pursuit of happiness has ido a constant throughout the history of mankind. The yearning of balance through the simple life is not a recent problem. We can explore ancient civilizations and discover all efforts to find answers.

The money, consumption, the rush, the stiff competition, labor, property accumulated, are all synonymous with success in our society. The rush to come first, by consuming and acquire the latest model or brand, either car, clothing or computers; have resulted in a situation where a large majority of people feels not find out. This is also compounded by the feeling of failure, thinking that the goal had always dreamed that this was not, or if you have reached the base to keep a daily dose of adrenaline, so you avoid the scorned, struggles with the bank, with co-workers, with your heads, and others. Too much hurry, too many tensions, less human relationships, less time for yourself and your desires, worse food, but atmosphere, worst dreams, in order. Progress can not be this, we have been ido out of hand.

The television, advertising, press, we have sold an image that has managed to persuade us that there is no other way of life. Maybe it is no other way of life. In the best we can begin to be masters of our existence without hitting the clock, breaking the chains that bind us as slaves to work. Ending our unhealthy relationship with money, spend less. Stop the train and we approach our lives simpler pleasures and we all have within our grasp, though in principle we are not aware of its existence, breathe deep, touching the ground and set more realistic goals and nearby. In it are thousands of people in more developed countries on the planet, claiming their right to be treated as citizens and not merely as consumers.

But we must be aware that happiness begins with feeling good with a single, assume your desires, let not influenced by society or by preconceived outline of the same.

It's more than that ever seen the kind of situations mentioned above, lead to a general anxiety and depression, increasingly common in all societies in the world. While you can not give recipes for happiness, we can only try to discover that everyone inside it what it is failing, and gradually alter their habits to their preference more real.

The vital objectives that were operating before them now have stopped motivating people, causing anxiety and feelings of guilt.

Sex and sport

Does sexual activity worsens sporting performance?

The question of the one million who often become coaches and athletes, is whether sexual activity improves or worsens sporting performance.

On many occasions, the sports coaches from different specialties, have considered sex as the public enemy number one of its athletes or players. In cycling, for example, some prohibit sexual activity, sometimes up to a month before the competition.

But there are doctors who believe that there are no reliable studies showing that the practice of sex influence directly into a greater or lesser sporting performance. The latter depends exclusively, the athlete's physical status. If the athlete has quality, the effort will not involve any sexual physical decline. But if on the contrary do not, of course performance may be lower.

Much is spoken of the desirability or otherwise of attending women footballers to concentrations. Some feel that this is a problem much more psychological than physical, that the athlete needs to feel good, which includes having sex with your partner or with whom they want. Only feeling well, was able to achieve the degree of concentration and motivation necessary for an optimal outcome sports.

There is also the theory of those athletes who compete before masturbating in these cases is considered unfounded, since the secretion and production of seminal fluid does not cause any alteration to the physical condition of the athlete.
