Words We Use

Watch the words you use to describe yourself.  Words can be either healthy or toxic.  It depends on context and intent.  If you mean yourself harm when you call yourself "stupid" then you are using words in a toxic manner and it will harm you.  Once, maybe not but my guess if you've said it once, you've said it a lot.  Say harmful words enough and they will start to own you.  I use self-deprecating humour only to make people laugh.  If it's something I belive then I watch it closely.  Watch your toxic works and if you can't help but think they are true.  Change the words you use and you'll see a difference.

Happiness is Contagious!

Not sure how to feel better when you are down?  Instead of just complaining, call someone who is always happy!  Surely there is someone out there that always makes you laugh.  Yesterday, I was a little down in the morning but, I then saw the funniest Youtube video about a cat that puts it's head under the faucet.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW_-oyAldfo I was intantly in a better mood.  From now on, I'm going to search Youtube for humor! 

Live in the Moment

We can get so fixated on what might or might not happen for us in the future that we forget to enjoy today. Take some time to notice some perfect moments today. I saw my kids laughing hysterically and sharing a loving moment. Nothing is more perfect than that - for me. I'll bet you have nice moment today - take some time to "Live in that Moment."
