12 Happiness Tips For 2012 [BLOG] GABRIELLE BERNSTEIN | DECEMBER 31, 2011
I liked this and wanted to share it.
Thank you Gabrielle (though we don't know one another).
To see the entire non-edited post check out:
Tip 1: Let go of 2011 baggage. Be grateful and appreciate all that you have. Stop focusing on lack and let the energy of gratitude create a more abundant life.
Tip 2: Change the conversation. Make a resolution to change your dialogue about fear and negativity. Begin the New Year talking and thinking about what you love about your life, rather than replaying the same old negative story.
Tip 3: Give. Commit to the mantra “How can I give?” rather than “How can I get?” Giving produces endorphins, which make you feel great!
Tip 4: Take a ME break. Commit to a ME break at least once a week. Take time out to focus on yourself. This is a powerful habit to create early in the year.
Tip 5: Get naked! This year, make a commitment to be authentic. Get naked with your truth, offering the world your greatest gift: your authentic self. Begin a practice of being yourself on dates, in the office, or even in your home. We all thrive on true connection. So this year, get naked with your truth. Don’t deprive the world of your authentic gifts. Even if it feels uncomfortable at first—go with it—you’ll feel liberated in no time.
Tip 6: Get creative. Pledge to engage in a creative project as often as possible. You’ll find that time spent in creativity heightens your happiness, and gives you more energy for the other areas of your life.
Tip 7: Do innovative exercise.Find cool ways to shed the pounds. As a kid, it was just a fun thing to do. I never would’ve imagined doing it as a killer (and totally addictive) workout.
Tip 8: Practice the F-word. (Forgive) Each morning when you wake up, set the intention to forgive. This daily intention will ignite a consciousness of forgiveness and provide you with the necessary tools to allow the F-word process to set in.
Tip 9: Eat mindfully.To keep your Spirit Junkie mentality intact, you must feed your soul superfoods. This New Year I’ve committed to kicking the coffee. Rather than go nuts trying to eliminate everything bad in your diet, keep it simple and choose one thing to let go of. Small shifts create powerful change.
Tip 10: Be Authentic. Rather than conform to what you think the world wants you to be, in 2012, serve the world more of YOU. Make a New Year’s resolution to be more authentic. When you share your truth with the world, your genuine gifts shine through. Plus your authenticity gives others the chance to be truthful, too!
Tip 11: Sit back and receive. Welcome stillness and receptivity. Through a daily meditation practice, you can begin to transform your need to control outcomes and learn to sit back and receive. You’ll come to understand that stillness is sometimes the greatest action.
Tip 12: Expect miracles. Kick off the New Year with a miracle mindset. Begin each day with a prayer for peace and happiness. Daily prayer will jump-start your day with a miracle mindset and awaken your consciousness to the greatness around you.
Incorporate these twelve tips into your daily practices and enjoy the positive results, expect miracles, and be happy!
