Who needs a happy list? I am happy that I have a happy list for myself. I check over the list when I need to balance myself or shift my consciousnessand to make sure that I have done as many of the items on this list as possible. If I find myself resistant, I can then recognize that at that moment I am choosing to be unhappy. Knowing that fact is of major importance as well. It lets me know that I am responsible for anything that I draw in when I am in the current state of consciousness. So often I want to blame the bad drivers, the co-worker, kids, the overdrawn bank account for my mood. When in fact what I find to be true is that I am choosing to stay in the state of consciousness that created it, rather than allowing my emotions to flow and move on. When I am willing to do something from my happy list and create something new I find that I shift with greater ease. Neither is wrong, or right it is about awareness of where I am, and that I am responsible.
Day 8: Self Care: Create a happy list for yourself.
What is the importance of creating a happy list? I know what makes me happy. I get that response a great deal when I ask people about what makes them happy. I took the time this morning to create a new list for myself. I wanted to see if things had changed, or evolved. Over the last 3 seasons my life has been transformed. My relationship with my body is very different. I have release the need for blood sugar medication, and my blood pressure is the lowest it has ever been. How might this impact my happy list?
I have notices this amazing shift in my perspective. I am quieter than I have ever been in my life. When something was on my heart in the past, I would process it with a friend, or several friends. Now I sit quietly and take it within to find the answer. I may share with a friend or my beloved what I have gained from this reflection, or I may just show up as the new consciousness. I have had several friends ask me if I am ok? My response has been yes. I am going within more. How might this deeper relationship with my soul affect my happy list?
Over the last 3 seasons, I have shifted my need for self talk, or self chatter as I call it. When my mind (or my ego) wants to chatter I simple say thank you. Most of the time the ego really wants to be acknowledged and once we acknowledge it, it moves on. I find that when I resist the information or think about the fact that I have worked on this hidden belief before, why is it here again? In that moment, I cause the chatter to increase and get louder. What I resist, persist! With this simple shift in my awareness I have noticed that my mind is less active and much calmer. How might this new awareness affect my happy list?
When I lead a group or teach workshops on Love 101 or Seasons of Change I talk about the importance of going over the test from time to time to make sure we know clearly what we are needing in the now moment. We evolve, we change, we grow so it only makes logical sense that our needs and desires would grow with us.
