Day 28: 28 Day Happiness Challenge


Take a sabbatical media.  This next challenge may be easy for you or it might be very difficult to accomplish.  For this next challenge I want you to take a break from media.  That means no TV, news, radio, cell phone except for emergencies of course, computer, email or social media.  Choose to commit to a day, a week or a month.  I know what you are thinking, “Yeah, but I will miss everything that is going on in the world!”  Trust me, the world will not stop, and you will still be informed.  There is always that one person you run into that will talk your ear off about something happening in the news.  After your Sabbatical is over, check how you feel you may find that you enjoy a media free life so much that you take a whole year. Or you might find that leaving a space for being media free is well worth turning off the TV, phone and computer for a few hours each day or over the weekend.  Perhaps you will find that watching the news is unnecessary, and when you hear of something of interest you will then do your own research to find the facts. Being bombarded by media 24/7 and having it always at your finger tips can leave you feeling overwhelmed and anxious more than you realize.  As a society we have become use to the media everywhere stress but that doesn't mean your body isn't suffering.  Plus, if you are a person who never seems to have time, this will immediately give you more of it, you don't realize how much time you spend on your phone, computer or watching TV, until you turn it off.  

I hope you've enjoyed the past 28 days and have been able to bring more happiness into your life.  It really is more of a shift in how you see and interpret your world around you, a shift into a more stress free life, living in your truth and taking time to enjoy your many moments.

Peace, Love and Gratitude. 

Let me know your thoughts about this challenge.  you can message me on Facebook or leave me a post.  What other challenges would you like to do? Love, peace, creative, mindfulness etc?

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

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...
