By choice or by chance?

Every human thought exists today, in direct proportion to the degree of the emotional intensity attached to it, as human experience, wmf

A Well Known Fact::
A light wave will become a light particle just because of the way the observer thinks about it.

We were up pretty late organizing and preparing the condominium for sale. I remember, as I lay my head onto my pillow at 3:00 a.m., having the fleeting thought, ‘I’m going to feel tired in the morning.’ It was a micro-thought that I did not cancel, so when I woke up in the morning, the fog of tiredness was permeating my body...and the dominate thought in my conscious mind for about 12 seconds was; ‘I don’t want to get up.’ I immediately turned my attention and emotional energy onto a completely opposite idea...’WOW....TODAY IS A BRAND NEW DAY! I AM SO HAPPY I GET TO EXPERIENCE IT IN MY HEALTHY HAPPY BODY STARTING RIGHT NOW!’ I sat my body up immediately stretching my arms upward and said out loud ‘YES, I LOVE LIFE!” I climbed out of bed, stood straight and tall (I’m 6’2”) and moved like I do when I’m having fun and feeling good. The tired energy, like a light wave, was transmuted into a positive, creative energy, a particle, by the mere act of giving my attention to it...which brings us to today’s tool for How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less.

As best as you can, notice when your energy feels a little low during the day and when you do, for thirty three seconds think about something that you know makes you feel really good and give it all your attention and if you are able, move your body as if the event is actually happening, make your facial expressions match the event you’re thinking about...then notice how your energy feels afterwards and let me know what you experienced.

Have a great day!
