What does happy look like in the new year?
Dear Friends,
I have never felt so exhilarated by a new year! Nothing can stand between us and what we want but fear. And we have the antidote … the antidote being love!
I learned the Bible verse as a little girl, but I was a long time really getting it: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Rooted in fear are blame, anger, defensiveness, resentment, pride, greed, guilt, lies, and self pity. Love displaces them, leaving no room for what would torment us.
When we manifest fearless love, we manifest everything good. That’s what love is — acceptance, joy, peace, faith, oneness, abundance, forgiveness, truth, and perfection. That’s what I’m looking forward to in 2019. And that’s what I’m wishing you! Everything good!
It’s yours — because love is yours. Take it. Own it. Manifest it. Align with it. Merge with it. And you will, indeed, be happy!
Happy New Year!… More
Resolve to be happy this year
Life is about falling down and learning from it, getting up and starting again. And if that doesn’t sound like fun to you, just watch a baby do it. Better yet, let the baby wrap his little fingers around yours and help him learn to walk.
Look into his twinkling eyes and see if you don’t get a new perspective on resilience — joy in the stumbling and peace in the falling. There might be some cries and screams, but they won’t keep him down. With a little coaxing, you can turn his cries into smiles and laughter.
Why not encourage yourself—particularly in relationships when you can’t believe you messed up again? Believe in yourself? Show compassion and understanding for you? Don’t lose sight of the baby, or that pristine goodness, in you, your partner, and in everybody else. It hasn’t gone anywhere.
Yes, you have grown-up problems, and you’ve taken some tough falls. Like me, you’ve probably curled up and sobbed what felt like hopeless sobs. And maybe you’ve filed away enough lousy memories to make any person angry and bitter — any person who wanted to be, that is.
After you’ve aired all of your grievances, the hard knocks and the heartaches, with all the should-haves and if-onlys, ask yourself this question: Do you want to be happy anyway?… More
How does your thinking affect your health?
We can’t isolate the health of our body. It’s attached to what we think and feel. Our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health act to strengthen and weaken each other.
Remember when you found out he was cheating on you, and cozied up on the sofa for three days with a box of chocolates? Now, try to remember why you did that. It wasn’t really because he cheated. It was because you started to think YOU were the reason he cheated!
That thought was enough to make you feel despondent. In that moment, you wanted to escape the emotional pain more than you wanted to take care of your body … and binging on chocolate when you were already beating yourself up for being so fat that he cheated on you was enough to condemn your sinful soul. All this because he’s still learning to make a distinction between a biological urge and love … and you thought it was a negative reflection on you?
Our health starts with our thinking.
I’m not going to suggest that you try to think positive thoughts all the time. Start by being aware of what you think and what it does to you. Then, write about it.… More
