Happiness

Intuition- A strong word that should never be ignored.
Connect with your inner voice. Meditation can be as simple as taking a walk through the park, inhaling and exhaling deeply or listening to soothing music. It's anything that helps quiet your mind.
My intuition has been telling me to take it easy, lighten up .

Make yourself laugh. Find something funny to read, watch a funny TV show or movie. Remember a funny moment that happened. Think of something that always makes you laugh.

A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

Cheetos make me happy. The color orange, the loud crunch in my mouth, the cheesy taste. They always fill that hunger craving of something to snack on. Then I get to lick the orange stuff off my fingers for an extra treat of emotional bonding with myself. Yeah my cheetos are very special.

One happy moment in my life: The birth of my daughter. Being told she is doing fine, no problems. Holding her in my arms and seeing for myself she is perfect. Yes that the word I would describe her still today. My perfect sweetie girl.

One peaceful moment in my life: The last time I went to the mountains. It was cold and snowing. After driving 8 miles up this mountain on a snow covered road. Windows down feeling the cool crisp air, everything white seeing very little green. Arriving at the top with a breath taking view of tops of trees as far as I could see. It was almost like floating in the clouds. The quietness up there was unbelievable. Only hearing things like small cracking noises and a bird chirps from afar.

Feed your esteem. If you want to be more open to adventure, growth, and spontaneous fun, you'll have to starve your brain critic and feed your inner confidence coach. Start each day with a self-affirming statement: "I'm hot, I'm smart, and I'm ready for anything," or "I'm confident, competent, and full of energy." Give yourself compliments that pump up your sense of power. Remember, we are all bombarded every day with subtle and not-so-subtle messages of how "challenging" (scary, dangerous, etc.) things are. Defy them with your own inner dialogue of hope, confidence and strength.

Try something New -
The last new thing I did was shooting skeet this past spring.
What was the last new thing you did ?
Give me some ideas. I'm in desperate need of my next new adventure.
