✈️DESTINATION - Machu Picchu, Peru - 6,000 Miles - Happiness & Meal Planning
The Sun Gate is a fantastic viewpoint over the whole of Machu Picchu, and is located to the side of Machu Picchu Mountain. Enjoy a great overall view and a cup of Peruvian cocoa.
Machu Picchu is 8,000 feet above sea-level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. A little misty at first, as the sky clears, the best color comes 10 minutes before the sun comes up. The rays of sun, light up over the tall mountains, then gradually light up Machu Picchu, an Incan ruin.
Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru. It is the most spectacular urban creation of the Inca Empire, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

📝Living the Good Life - 10 Minutes of Happiness & Meal Planning
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves to smile and be happy. We may think that when we reach our goal weight we will be happy. But research shows that being happy helps us lose weight - we will eat less and move more. A happy person enjoys a healthier lifestyle and makes better food choices, by treating life as a source of pleasure. This week try to limit your news consumption, and consciously spend at least 10 minutes a day to make yourself happy. With happiness you can achieve more of your goals. Enjoy the wonders of positive emotions both before and after succeeding in your efforts!
Put aside your worries and live in the moment for 10 minutes a day. When you smile, you can actually feel better right away. Be creative to find your happiness. Do something that makes you smile or laugh. Switch to lively music and dance around the kitchen, play an instrument, sing a song, play with the puppy, discover laughter yoga, watch a comedy, google jokes, chat with an uplifting friend. Add exercise that is fun. Aerobic exercises have been proven to reduce anxiety and depression - jog, swim, cycle, walk, garden, dance, etc. Find your own connection between happiness and good health.
Synonyms and words related to happy - blissful, delighted, gratified, joyous, pleased, satisfied, thankful, tickled, beaming, cheery, lighthearted, sunny, upbeat, contented, ecstatic, smiley, thrilled, jolly, jubilant
Other things that can keep you happier - good time management so you are not rushed, cheerful people, fun things to do, living in the moment, keeping a balanced perspective about life, playful attitude, treating others well, exercise regularly, etc.
