Here (below)are some simple gifts I provide myself that add a bit of sunshine even if rain is falling all around M-E.
1. READING- A book pulls me into a whole different world of excitement.
2. WRITING- My creative spirit comes out just as my fingers touch the keyboard.
3. MINDFULNESS- It really works living in the actual “moment” to add an extra breathe to happiness.
4. GRATITUDE- Taking a moment to be grateful makes M-E feel great!!
5. LEARNING- Open a new page for my neurons allow them to flow past the negative energy.
6. IMAGINING- This is before the pen or fingers actually get to work.
7. TASTING A BIT LONGER- Yes, mindfulness is part of this formula but it’s so wonderful I had to add a new bite.
8. MUSIC- It’s amazing how listening and singing along can make M-E feel damn good.
9. ACHIEVING- Yes, even finishing the wash can make one’s day a bit on the happier climate.
10. ANIMALS/NATURE- This is a magnet to my happiness barometer.
11. DEEP/SILLY CONVERSATIONS- Understanding another’s mind help me like mine better.
12. WATCHING- Going to a show, movie or visual experience allows me to feel that frown turn upside down especially if the quality, suspense and character development are in the higher level.
13. CONNECTIONS- Empathy whether physically or just emotional brings my heart much happiness.
14. LAKE – Maybe this discovery of H20 can come from other sources as well to add to my mood swing up.
