“Whatever you decide to do, make sure it makes you happy.”
Happy Monday! What have you decided to do?
I know this can be an overwhelming question ~ some of us don’t get to decide so easily on the things we do. There’s routines set in place, there’s bills to be paid, there’s difficult situations we’re in.
But, you can still choose to see things differently.
Choose to embrace that routine and give yourself a reward at the end of that week – maybe a mani & pedi or a coffee out with friends.
Choose to give your best at your job – even though it’s not the job you saw yourself in at this time. A good spirit gets noticed and good people do help good people out ~ you may invite opportunities in unexpected places. And also focus that you do get to make a living at the end of the day. You should be proud of what you do everyday to provide for yourself and your family.
Choose to stay calm when difficult situations strike. Is it your family or friends, or co-workers. Breathe and put it in the past. You can’t move forward if you can’t let go…
Choose what makes you Happy!
But beware of those instant gratification tricks out there – like sugar! Sugar is NOT happiness! It may look cute, and once you have one, you’ll want more… and the sugar rush will wear off quickly leaving you used and depleted. You’re Sweet Enough – remember? Instead choose happy things that are good for your body. A herbal tea, dark chocolate, fruit or a great tasting smoothie.
I hope you’re all having a good start to your week. Be well. Be Happy.

Right on, as always. There are days when I feel so passionate about what I do, and others when I’m bogged down by the stuff I HAVE to do. But on those days, I try to remember that second rule up there. If I am remembering how lucky I am to have a job at all…remembering to love everyone there around me…suddenly life seems wonderful! =)
