A day builds from the moment we open our eyes...every thought and action either supports us or weakens us wmf
A Well Known Fact: Psychologically happiness is a combination of focus, though and action...each is a skill to be developed...the quality of which will build us up or tear us down.
Where, when and how do you begin your day? What are the first thoughts and actions you perform? Are the motions you go through consciously chosen and experienced? Or are they a rote that just keeps you going monotonously along the same path? Life is meant to be an adventure that we live consciously...an experience to be savoured like a fine wine...every moment priceless and precious and unrepeatable.
Today’s activity on How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less is about starting your day out in a way that makes you feel awake, alive, alert and conscious. Before you even get out of bed spend five minutes thinking about all of your positive attributes...i.e. you’re polite, you care about people, you dress well, you are honest, dependable, reliable...focus only on your positive aspects for five minutes...take in the feelings that are generated by this focus. Then get out of bed and do the things you normally do and acknowledge the positive effects each action you do for the next ten minutes will have upon your life and how this can positively influence others. Really be conscious of the positive effects that the activities you are doing will and are having upon your life and feel the meaning and value of this recognition and....
Have a great day!
