Day 23: 28 Day Happiness Challenge


Do something creative. Everyone has a creative side whether they admit it or not. By nature we are creators.  We create our life moment by moment and use our imagination to do it.  Today’s challenge is to use your imagination to create something that will help you or be useful for someone else.  This can be anything.  You can paint, arrange flowers, bake, decorate a cake, sew, do woodworking, draw, or write a story or poetry.  You can garden, organize a place or part of your house that you use frequently, or map out your next vacation including fun stops and other unique travel destinations.  All you have to do is imagine to get your creative juices flowing.  Right now I am in the stages of imagining all that I can do to refurbish the old camper we bought in the fall.  We didn’t have time to do anything before winter came, but now that it is starting to get warmer and have more sunshiny days I am thinking more about what I would like to do.  You don’t need to have a reason like mine to get creative, sometimes an idea will just spark your imagination.  This divine inspiration should not be brushed off, follow through and be delighted with the outcome.

Peace, Love and Gratitude

Day 10: 28 Day Happiness Challenge

Let go of old grudges. Old built up emotions can weigh heavy on your heart and mind.   What old story are you keeping alive by not letting it go?   Who in your life has done you wrong and you are still holding it against them? How long has it been?   Yesterday, last week, a year ago, 10 years or even 30 years ago?   When you look back on that incident, what did you learn or gain from that encounter?   Were there things that you wish you would have said? Your challenge today is to find a way to make peace and let go of those old grudges. I want you to write a letter to the person you are holding anger or ill feelings for, tell them all the ways they hurt you and how much you hate them for what they did, get it all out.   Then write all the ways you are grateful and what you learned from them.   Last I want you to burn the letter.   Burning the letter is not only an act of symbolism but also uses energy to transform and release the energy in the...

Day 2: 28 Day Happiness Challenge

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 af...

Gratitude, a way of giving thanks and appreciating all that you have currently and all that is coming into your life.  It is the easiest and highest forms of prayer.  I started incorporating gratitude into my everyday life 10 years ago and it changed my life.  I was not necessarily a super positive person, in fact I had always found everything difficult or challenging, but when it came to others I was always good at giving pep talks to others or lifting their spirits. So I started simply.  I started posting my gratitude list on Facebook 10 years ago.  I would also invite others to post theirs. So how did posting my gratitude list change my life? On good days it was easy to come up with what I was grateful for, it was the bad days, the days that everything went wrong or I didn't feel well were the challenging ones.  They were also the ones that changed how I saw my life.  Coming up with something to appreciate on a day when you have every right to f...
