Do you make happiness a priority? Start here…
I have been thinking a lot about happiness this week, preparing for Mondays Premium Membership call and I have decided that there is one thing you can do that makes the largest impact on your happiness.
Do something you love every single day
Sound simple, but how many of you actually do it? Until you make it priority to be happy, it falls to the side and life gets in the way.
I know because that is what happened to me. I wanted happiness, but I didn’t want to do the mindset work that accompanied being happy for no reason. And then one day I just got sick of it…all of it, being angry, miserable, depressed and fat (yes, at that point I was also 25lbs heavier).
I had a light-bulb moment (I share the brick wall that hit me in this blog post if you want the details) and instantly made the decision to change things. It started with checking out this “Secret” that everyone had been talking about for 2 years (yep, I was late on the bandwagon for that one) and it snow balled from there. Since late 2007 I have been making happiness a priority in my life.
I started small (reading books on the Law of Attraction…my first was The Success Principles by Jack Canfield) and doing the exercises. Then I decided to turn my idea and my experience (in career and life) into a career. I haven’t looked back since.
And by doing what I love every single day, I am automatically happy! You need something to look forward to in life, especially if you’re not happy, otherwise what’s the point? If you have a job you don’t like, what about your life do you life? If you aren’t happy in your relationship, what part of your life do you like? Focus on that, and find reasons to feel gratitude for that. Bring in more fun, don’t sit at home brooding. Spend more time with people you love. Watch feel good TV! Listen to radio and teleseminars that expand your mind, beliefs and thinking. Strengthen those happiness muscles!
In the next few months, my Premium Membership calls are focusing on expanding your happiness muscles, because I know it can be tough to start if you don’t know what you don’t know! So if part of your life that you hate included your job, join me on Monday April 26th for my Premium Call “Business of Happiness: What to do when you really really hate your job and want to quit (but can’t)“. It’s Free if you show up LIVE. Get all the juicy details here!
Your assignment for today: Come up with 1 thing you can do today, that makes you happy. Make sure you actually do it. Make happiness a priority!
Love & Light,

Discover Your Authentic Life
Shed the YOU that doesn’t work and embrace the YOU that does!
That is the subtitle for my upcoming book to be published this summer.
I sat down to do the bulk of the outline last weekend, and ended up writing almost the entire thing. A few things came to mind as I assembled, wrote and researched.
- I have learned A LOT in the last couple of years! And most of it came from an uncomfortable place, usually one I didn’t want to be in at the time. But on the other side, I realize that discomfort is required for massive growth. Sure you can grow slowly and there is nothing wrong with that. BUT if you say you want loads of money, a job you love and to meet the love of your life (and all right now) you’re going to have to grow into the person who has those things.
- It is the small things that really count. The quick, massive growth comes from all of the “small” things done on a regular basis to improve. I did a lot of inner work, learning to meditate My WAY, making the effort to find things to be joyful for, deliberately living in the moment. I read lots of books, articles and blogs. I signed up for every teleseminar under the sun (and actually listened to them).
- Once you decide, the rest is downhill. A couple of years ago I made the decision to go after a dream. I struggled for a very very long time with this. It tortured me (and those around me due to my increased crankiness) until I came to an earth-shattering decision. I can be happy, or I can be right. I was sick of being right…(being a victim of circumstance, job statistics and education choice). So I made the choice to succeed and just do it…and every thing that would lead me to success HAD to be a YES! Life gets simple when you make the choice.
Looks like I will have to write another book just to cover all of the inner stuff I learned while writing the first on! My point of this blog:
- Success takes a conscious decision
- Success takes uncomfortable growth
- Success is defined only by YOU
If you have decided that you are ready to shed the old, dull version of you
(you know, the one that is living someone else’s life, the one who spend all her time running around for others and not enough time reading, exercising or watching was she wants on TV) then get a jump start before my book comes out by purchasing my Master LIFE Cleanse Action Guide. It has all the tools you need to get started.
