Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny. -- Upanishads

BEST YOU EVER Summer 2009 Week 3
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 07/17/2009 - 23:43.

Summer 2009 is in full SHINE. How about you? Starting Monday, could you wake up every morning for 1 week, SMILE, and say "I will choose happiness today!" Does this sound too cheeseball to you? Well, then you can crawl under your GRIMACE rock and whine about your life. Otherwise...
Personal challenge...
No matter what is happening in your life - JUST FOR 1 week - Until Monday July 27th -
Wake up -
SMILE
And declare that you INTEND to choose happiness that day.
2 easy steps.
You will not force yourself to be happy -
That is just your "intention" for that day.
If something happens out of left field, and you become something other than happy - well, that's fine -
You have not failed...
But the intention when you wake up - is
1 - Smile
2 - Declare "I choose happiness today!"
So, if you have been following the BEST YOU EVER SUMMER 2009, you will know that Week 1 and Week 2, I have followed my own advice - and it was not easy.
This week of exercising every day till you sweat and adding meditation was quite a chore my friends.
I didn't feel like sweating when it was 35 degrees outside and all I wanted was to dive into a pool of ice cubes until my nipples froze off.
The last thing I wanted was more flippin sweat.
And the meditation is hard when the neighbors are having wild sex right next to my meditation spot. (I stayed. Lucky it was a quickie.)
But - I will keep my word to you and this blog. I will complete each WEEKLY mission until the end of summer.
Join me whenever you feel like it.
Why the heck not?
Well - the smiling every day and intenting to be happy would make some people vomit.
You know those people.
Those are the people you can't be "too" nice towards, because they think you have an "ulterior" motive.
Gimme a break.
I say - be as happy as you freakin want, and let them GRIMACE.
You are transforming into the BEST you ever
It's the SUMMER OF YOU baby!
Peace
Andrea
