☺ Make Feeling Good a Priority! It's sad to think that with all the things going on in our lives, happiness somehow gets placed on the back burner. Life is about happiness, it's about feeling good, this you must remember. And this is why you need to make feeling good a priority--nay, your Biggest Priority. Plus, when you feel good, all else will fall into place.          

☺ Spend the day being Lazy.  Every so often having the laziest possible day is a necessity. We work ourselves into the ground with work and even play sometimes so it's good to have some down time simply to do nothing and just veg out. I like to do this on a cozy rainy day, but really any day will do. Make it a point to stay in your pyjamas and be lazy at home. Have a you day, a day to read, write, draw, sprawl out across your bed and stare at the ceiling. Just enjoy a lazy day. 

☺ Stop Needing an Apology…  It was pointed out to me this week that apologies are selfish. This topic is something I want to write a full article on because it can play such a large role in our lives that blocks us from moving forward. But for now, learn to let go of needing an apology from another person. The second we need someone to apologize to us then we are placing our own happiness and state of life in someone else's hands, and that responsibility should only ever fall on you. Remember, you are responsible for your own happiness. So no asking for apologies, let it go, realize we're all going through something, and find new ways of acceptance and moving on.  

☺ Send someone a surprise gift. I don't think anything excites me more than receiving surprise letters or little goodies in the mail from friends. It's such a lovely feeling to know someone is thinking of you. Likewise, I love sending people surprises in the mail as well, for no other reason then to let them know I am thinking of them and love them. So pass it a long, whether it's a lovely letter or a little gift. Make a new pen pal if you can too. :) 

☺ Take part in the 30×30 Nature Challenge!  Join the David Suzuki Foundation’s 30×30 Nature Challenge by committing to spend at least 30 minutes a day outside in nature for 30 days in May. The more we connect to nature, the smarter, healthier and happier we are. Getting outside even makes us nicer and more likely to clean up the planet. Sign up here and take part!  

☺ Let go of the bad and Begin again! You can let hate, anger, animosity, fear, or any other negative emotion eat away at you, Or you can let it go and learn to begin again. Your choice. 

☺ Star your Next Chapter! We trap ourselves in the past, re-reading the events or refusing to let go. Most of our problems do come from our pasts: things we haven't resolved, bad habits we've formed, negative feelings about ourselves or others, and so forth. Working through the past is important to move forward, however you'll never actually make the first step onward if you keep returning there and don't leave. Make peace with your past, let it go, and start anew.   

Don't forget to get out there and Create a Nice Day!! 

Much Love from me to you!

Lalala beautiful Monday! Who's excited for the week? I know I am! Let's here it for MONDAYS!! Woooo! ;)  

☺ Get "The Secret" on audio! And listen to it in your car, while you walk, work, wherever you may be where it could provide a positive re-enforcement and nudge to stay positive and manifest! Remember that repeating information that you've heard helps to settle it deeper into your brain and helps to rebuild new thought patterns. So help yourself create new thought patterns! 

☺ Get Active! I can't say enough about getting active, getting your body going, and burning off energy. Whether it's a workout, a fun game of frisbee at the park with friends, going for a hike, yoga, or anything else, get your body moving! It's good for your soul, mind, and body!  

☺ Serve Others. We tend to do "good deeds" out of necessity, selfishness, or some sense of calling, but we don't often enough do things solely to help another. Try to serve others this week from a selfless place, even if it is not particularly appealing. Work on serving others from a place of love and caring. Eventually you will see the benefits it returns to you, perhaps without even realizing it at first, because when you are truly coming from a place of love, that love comes back in all aspects of life. Just don't wear yourself thin helping others or you'll have nothing left for yourself either--always remember balance. ;)   

☺ A heart on fire with passion and excitement has huge magnetic power! When manifesting your dreams and desires, it is important to make it fun and be excited. Passion is everything. Those who are passionate and excited and work on their desires every day will bring them about faster than those who don't. 

☺ Take a million photos! Okay, well maybe not a million per say, but take lots of photos! It's fun and creative and there's something fantastic about documenting the beauty around you. It will also make you pay more attention to the beauty around you. Don't be timid, just go for it no matter where you are. If you see a shot that you want to take then take it. A fabulous reminder to open our eyes and appreciate everything. ;) 

☺ Be a Good Listener…  It's a great thing to have someone to talk to when things are rough, someone to bounce thoughts and ideas off. BE that person to someone else. Try talking less this week and listen more. It's a great way to learn for yourself as well as help a friend out.  

☺ "When you judge another, you do not define them. You define yourself." - Wayne Dyer I love this quote because we judge far too easily and readily. Unless you've been in that person's shoes, unless you truly understand what they're going through, unless you have had the exact same experience, how can you judge at all? There is a reason for everything. People also have the choice to do what they want and be who they want. Who are you to judge them? Don't judge, it's unnecessary and truly is a reflection of yourself then the person you are judging. (I'm going to write a whole post on this topic later this week! ;))

☺ Motivational Mondays! ☺

Life is absolutely fantastic, fun, and exciting! The fact it's Monday makes no difference at all--remember that! Live today instead of waiting for tomorrow. Seize the moment! Every moment! Let's hear a "Rah Rah Rah!" for today and every day!!! ;) 

☺ Set good intentions: Repeat after me: "All Good things are coming to me today. All my desires will be met today. Magic and miracles are coming my way today. I am going to have an amazing day!" Say this at the start of every single day, set positive intentions so that you receive positive experiences and surprises.   

☺ Be Selfless and Be Selfish. Being selfish often has a bad rap, and being selfless is often associated with some level of sacrifice, but both are equally important. The beautiful part is that when you are in line with your true self, when you are living your life in harmony, the two are one in the same. There is nothing wrong with being selfish and there is nothing wrong with being selfless. By being selfish, as in being kind to yourself and doing things for yourself, you automatically do good to others--and at which point you are also doing those selfless acts from a place of honesty and love rather than obligation or higher sense of calling. Learn to be selfish and you will become selfless.  

☺ Live in the Moment! Because we often forget to do this, I like to do a reminder every so often; live in the moment! Why? Because life happens in the here and now, emotions are felt in the here and now, happiness is experienced only in the here and now. Try not to let your mind get caught up in the future or left behind in the past as that is often where stress arises from. Stay grounded, stay present.

☺ Take time every day to do something silly! Because silliness makes the world go round and if you can't laugh at yourself then what can you laugh at? Learn to let go, have fun, and stop caring what others think! Be yourself, act a-fool, be spontaneous, do things out of your ordinary. Be silly and have fun! 

☺ Believe in your Goals! For those that don't believe you can ask the universe and receive, start believing! Set yourself a goal and believe by the end of the week you will receive it. For instance, last week I noticed I needed some more money in my bank account so I told myself that by the end of the week I was going to have $1000.00 to transfer from my paypal account. At the end of the week I had $1024.00. Ask, Believe, Receive. ;)  

☺ Change up your music playlist! Like anything, it's fun to change things up, get some different creative juices flowing. Fill up your iPod or music player with a ton of new music you've never heard before. Ask friends for suggestions, or trade iPods altogether! 

☺ "Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around." - Henry David Thoreau. Life is what you make it, you are who you decide. Your beliefs and values are all a part of that greater whole and by living those beliefs you make a difference in your own life and the life of others. 

Have a beautiful day, week, life! Much Love from me to you! 

Create a Nice Day! xo
