Three things your grateful for.

On this Monday afternoon, lets all take a minute to remove ourselves from whatever crazy, stressful situation is going on in our lives, and list three things you are grateful for.  They can be anything from fresh air and your morning coffee, to your post work routine.

Just take a moment, and think on those three things.





Try to keep that grateful feeling in your heart as you deal with the stress of today.

The Buddha once said, "When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky"

The Science Of Being Happy

I read an article last year called the science of happiness.  You can read the full article here.  But the basic take away is that it is possible to rewire your brain to be happy.  It takes 30 days to change the neuro-pathways in your brain, by doing simply daily habits to promote happiness. 

Why not give it a try?  For one month do these five things daily to be happier.

1) Think of 3 things you are grateful for.

2) Write about a positive experience from the last 24 hours.

3) Exercise

4) Meditate

5) Perform one random act of kindness

In addition, I personally think that not subjecting yourself to a constant influx of negativity help considerably.  Don't click those comment links if you know that something someone says is going to put you in a bad mood.  If you need to shut off social media, do it.  If you need to walk away from the constant bad news the media is throwing at you, do so.  

I also think that searching out positive messages can also help toward a happier you.  And in that, I wanted to create a happy space on the internet.  Someplace where the messages are positive.  Yes, there are other websites out there that offer this.  I don't think there could ever be too many positive websites and blogs.  Somedays you need a little more positivity than others.  

So please, join me in working to be happier!
