Self Improvement Project

I wanted to share some weekly tips on how you can get out of the rut! Do you want a better life? I will be sharing weekly tips on what I want to call "Project Self Improvement".

Happiness is everywhere! But some people are having a hard time defining the true meaning of happiness in their life. When you begin to "work" on yourself for example improving your self you can and will achieve a happier meaning to your life. 

I will share 5 tips a week for the next few weeks. I challenge you to practice these 5 tips daily for the next week. Continue on adding the weekly tips. Determine which ones work for you and your lifestyle.  And practice them daily.


Tip 1:  Talk to Someone - Find a happy person to talk too. Ask them their secret to happiness. A happy person will share with you what enables them to feel this way and why the benefits of being happy lead to being positive.

Tip 2:  Don't Overlook Pleasure in Your Life - Make a list of anything and everything that pleases you. Once you do that, take a moment and ask yourself when was the last time I was being that person and/or doing those things?  Hint: Now do all or some of those things!
Tip 3: Be Grateful - Wake up with an attitude to gratitude. Begin each and every new day of your life with a few minutes of quiet reflection about all the things you have to be grateful for, journal those things with your morning coffee or tea. Now silently to yourself or out loud, say thank-you for each item on the list.  Believe me, there is no better way to start your day and open yourself up to the possibility of happiness. 

Tip 4: Be in Sync with Your Surroundings - Your emotions are affected by the world you live in - your physical and social surroundings. If you are in sync with that world, you have a much better change of achieving happiness in your life.  Think about where you currently live. Ask yourself are you happy? If the answer is no maybe you can consider moving to a different area in which you would feel happier. 
Tip 5: Be Ethical - Becoming a more ethical person :  Develop a set of principles to live by that conform to society's expectations.  Always try to put yourself in the other person's shoes. If you wouldn't want someone to take advantage of you, then don't take advantage of others.  Are you consistent? Don't tell one person something in one situation and then tell someone else just the opposite in another situation.

Unexpected Experiences

  An Unexpected Experience In January, I was in a accident. I was at a stand still waiting to make a left turn when I was slammed from behind. What an unexpected experience.  Emotionally and physically causing a roll coaster ride within my being. I was an emotional mess. This experience was like nothing I had ever gone through. The hit was so hard that my 911 assistance in my Ford called for me. I literally felt my heart coming out of my chest from the impact. My car was a total lost. I could not understand how the 19 year old girl driving had not seen my turning signal and my brake lights since it was around 8:30 pm, yes it was dark out. Needlessly to say, it took a beautiful soul (a friend) whom send me some ThetaHealing ®  that totally brought me back to balance.  At the end, I had to allow this experience to teach me that there was still some deep healing that needed to occur within my being.  My body, mind, and soul has gone through some transformational he...

An Act of Kindness

What is Kindness?  Do you practice Kindness in your everyday life?  In the dictionary the meaning of Kindness is is the act or the state of being kind - —i.e. marked by goodness and charitable behavior. The best portion of a good man's life - his little, nameless, unremembered acts of  kindness  and love.  William Wordsworth Something happen this week "an act of kindness" that brings me to share with you the importance for us to have kindness in our daily life. A few days ago, there was a knock at my door. My dogs started barking. My kids questioned who was at the door. Like normal, I looked out the crack of the window to see who it was...I saw a small blue car at the entrance of my driveway and saw a man at the door. With my kids behind me and my dogs still barking, I opened the door and say "Yes, can I help you?". The gentlemen handed me a small bag, as it was placed in my hands it felt soft ( I couldn't imagine what was inside of it ...

I Am Responsible For My Own Happiness

I wanted to share this thought with you today because of something that happened to me the other day. Do you know that YOU are responsible for YOUR own happiness? There are times when we have to deal with lessons in life. We grown up with divorce parents, sometimes without parent(s), or sad events that effect our lives. I know because I have been in those shoes. I will be honest there was a time in my life that I blamed everyone else for my happiness (because I wasn't living a happy life).....it wasn't until I began "dealing" with me that I began to discover so many things. I know that "I am responsible for my own happiness!" not my parents, not the bad relationships, not my family, not even my children.  I am responsible. Now that I know this I want to share my insights with others.....I know LIFE can be a challenge BUT nothing that you are going through should steal your happiness!! Life is a gift!! No matter what YOU are dealing with....sometimes we m...
