4 Hugs a Day…

“4 Hugs a Day, that’s the minimum.  4 Hugs a Day, not the maximum!”

You need 4 hugs a day just to survive, but don’t stop there! The more the better! Human touch is essential to our well being, so start hugging more! Once you start doing this more, you will notice how a simple hug can energize you and make you feel better.  And the longer the hug, the better.   Improve your day with a hug (or 4!).  Namaste!

Monday…

How did it feel to wake up this morning? Did you wake up excited about the start of a new week? Did you wake up feeling anxious and grumpy?

Get control over your Monday! If you woke up feeling anxious and grumpy, there are 2 things you can do to change that.

1. Change what you are doing in your life immediately.  If the thought of going into your job today gives you chest pain, and you continue down that road for long enough, it will consume you.  Do not be afraid of change.  Embrace it.

2. Change your thinking about what you do!

“The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.”
James M. Barrie

If you simply must do what you are doing, but it has been leaving a foul taste in your mouth, you need to change your thinking.  You do have control! Start by changing every negative thought you have about what you do into a positive one.  Stop complaining about where you are, especially if you are not prepared to make a change.  Be thankful for what you have and you will start enjoying it!

There are only 2 choices.  Start your Happy Monday plan today.

Namaste!

 

Garden your Friendships

Do something nice for a friend today.

“A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often – just to save it from drying out completely.” Pam Brown

Give recognition where it’s due.

Make sure you tell the people in your life that you appreciate everything they do.  People do not just innately know that you are grateful for what they do, so you need to tell them!  Recognize the people who go above and beyond for you by saying “Thank You”.  Flowers, cards, and wine are great things to send to people, but the most important part is that you are taking the time to say “wow, you do so much around here, and I really notice it, and appreciate it”.  Put a smile on someone’s face today just by acknowledging what they do.  Namaste.

It’s up to you.

Take full responsibility for where you are in your life.  Do not blame others.  You are in control of your destiny.   Accept the responsibility for where you are now and then embrace with all your heart and soul the knowledge that you have the power change it.

Be That Boss!

You are your own boss.   So, it’s time to start giving yourself the correct orders and then start listening to yourself.   Now tell yourself that you are successful, positive and happy.   Follow your own orders! Start bossing yourself around in all the right ways! Namaste.
