They remind us that this is our life, the choices we make are ours, and we should continue to challenge ourselves creatively and intellectually. We&#8217;ve compiled a list of ten of our favorite manifestos that ...]]></description>

&#8220;Being happier requires you to thinking about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right.&#8221; &#8211; Gretchen Rubin

Simply put, we get so caught up doing what is required of us day-to-day that we forget to take five minutes to breathe (which makes all the difference in our mood and energy levels). Ultimately, happiness is what we are seeking for a more fulfilled life, and we shouldn&#8217;t forget how to achieve that. So we at Betterfly put our minds together to come up ...]]></description>

What advice do you have on how to begin the process of collaboration in the medical field?

		<description><![CDATA[Reiki could be one of the most mysterious and phenomenal experiences in our lives. If we just let it.
Reiki is a holistic healing practice that promotes wellness and balance, and reduces stress. It was developed by Mikao Usui the early 1920s, and brought to the US by Usui&#8217;s student Chujiro Hayashi and his student Hawayo Takata in the late 1930s. Since then, Reiki practice has been taught and adapted by various teachers worldwide. To learn more about what Reiki is all about, Betterfly gathered a group of Reiki practioners into an online chat room ...]]></description>

Zumba® 


Zumba® is a Latin-inspired dance fitness program that has taken the world by storm since its inception in the U.S. in 2000. Its program is designed in such a way to benefit any person, regardless of their current fitness level, age, or weight. And here&#8217;s the kicker: Zumba® actually yields results.
