Lately, I’ve been discussing “Happiness” a lot with my Friend Alex, for many good reasons relating to a project we’ve been working on for the past month – and the amazingly powerful influence of Happiness, what creates it, and causes it to rise and subside…
So, it’s interesting to note that we are now one week into August, and today/tomorrow (depending on where you live) is 8/8/08 – the 8th day of the 8th month of 2008.
According to Chinese tradition, 8 is the symbol of Abundance (therefore it’s no coincidence the Olympics are opening in Beijing on 08-08-08). It’s also the sign for Infinity when you turn 8 on its side.
The number 8 is also especially meaningful to me because it has always been my special Happy, fortunate number, as it happens to be my birth date – 8 October.
So, my intention is to make the most of this significant time and attract and create much Happiness and Abundance during this month of August, and beyond.
So, I invite you to join me – no matter when you read this post, dedicate the month to creating Happy, Abundant, Positive experiences in your life.
Starting right now and continuing each day, I intend to “Be Happy”. I will wake up to each new day “being” Happy, and to making it a positive and productive day. I’ll focus on being Happy right throughout my day, and acknowledge and welcome the positive, and dis-empower the negative. I’ll go to bed each night and reflect Happily about the good things that happened, and smile forgivingly at the not so good.
And, I will avoid as many potential sources as possible of less than happy things.
Here are some more things you can do:
So much of Happiness is attitude and perception. How you choose to view, interpret and react to something. Sometimes the smallest external triggers (yes OK, the big ones too) can be amazing catalysts to plunging you into the Happiness Mindset and Heartset.
And you’ll find that Happiness is cumulative – Happy thoughts create great “feelings”. The more you feel Happy, the more you’ll be able attract to you and create the positive experiences you desire in your life.
> Look around you and “Appreciate” and be “Grateful” for the Happy things already in your life. “Appreciation” is a higher vibration than “Gratitude”, but the two together are a mighty powerful combination…
> Surround yourself with Happy positive “up” people that through your very interaction make you both feel even more optimistic and hopeful about what’s happening and to come.
> Focus on pursuing Happy, positive and inspiring activities that uplift you and move you closer to achieving your Goals.
> Read only Happy books, or research positive topics on the internet.
> Go and see a Happy uplifting inspirational movie with a Friend, and make it a really Happy occasion.
> Take a few days break and treat yourself to a short holiday, a long weekend getaway perhaps.
> Involve your friends, family or colleagues to join you and do the same …
What else will you do?
I’m really interested to know, so please share your ideas, suggestions and plans for what you will do and leave a comment here below.
Have a great August!
Many Blessings
Kathy
