Day 22: 28 Day Happiness Challenge

Eat good food and don't forget dessert.  There are two types of people in this world, those that live to eat and those that eat to live.  I am the latter one, but which ever you are most likely you are not choosing food to eat because it's healthy and nutritious, but because it's what you like and it tastes good to you. This challenge is to choose to eat good food and eat with the purpose of nurturing and healing your body. Find a new recipe that not only is good for you but satisfies your mind and taste buds.  You can turn an unhealthy recipe into a healthy one if your like me and don't like trying something new. Eating with purpose to heal and nourish means to eat mindfully.  Knowing that each bite is full of nutrients meant for energizing your cells and healing your body. Visualize your food doing just that. If you are making food from scratch and using whole foods, leaving out boxed or highly processed foods, you will not only feel better physically but you will feel better mentally as well. Love chips?  Try making your own.  Love mac and cheese?  There are plenty of homemade recipes out there that are healthier then the boxed stuff. Do your research and find food you love, try something new, and don't forget dessert!  Eat chocolate or any decadent dessert. There are plenty of healthy dessert options: chocolate covered frozen banana bites, berries with whipped cream, chocolate peanut butter avocado pudding or chocolate covered strawberries. You can also send loving energy into the food you are about to eat, mush like saying a blessing or praying before you eat, hold your hands above your food, pray or bless your food, then eat.  I like to say "Thank you Angels for filling this food with loving healing light."  Word of warning though, it may make your food taste different.

Peace, Love and Gratitude

Go for a walk.   Yes, even if you live in a place that is currently snowing and cold.  Be safe of course, if you don't live in a safe area, drive to someplace safe.  If it is too snowy or icy wear ice cleats or consider snowshoeing or cross country skiing.  No good place to walk?  Walk around your office or a mall.  Trouble walking?  Ride a bike or do some other form of exercise to get your heart movi ng.  Studies have shown that walking improves your mood.  But don’t take my word for it.  Take 5 minute walk, just five minutes.  Do this without your phone, yes without it.  Leave it on your desk or at home.  Phone distraction negatively affects your mood.  If you can’t leave your phone for 5 minutes, then you have a bigger problem, then you may need a 10 or a 20 minute walk to break the attachment. But how will you know when you’ve walked for 5 minutes if you don’t carry your phone?  Take a good guess, use a watch, get a stop watch or a dollar store kitchen timer.  However you kee

Sky gazing.   There is just something about looking at the sky that gives you a deep connection to the universe.   Some may feel small and insignificant at first and who wouldn’t when you are gazing upon such vastness, but the longer you look the more wonder and awe you begin to feel.   You feel like nothing can stand in your way of yours goals and desires.   The answers to all of life’s questions lies in the blue sky and clouds, within the moon glow and star shine, underneath rolling storm clouds and wind ridden days.   So take 5 minutes to just be and gaze at the sky.   Do it after your walk, but not while walking.   Step outside the office at lunch time, or from your window on a stormy day.   Lay down in the grass or lean against a tree. If you wake in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, step outside for a moment and take in the night sky.   Do this everyday or as often as you'd like.  Take note of your energy before and after your sky gazing experience.  Let me know
