How to Feel Better About Your Life

Step 3

I think this is one line of words that I have seen constantly on magazine titles, and other self-help write ups. The thing is... It is extremely difficult to feel better about you, when most of the time you feel so busy to even think. A lot of us get wrapped up in other peoples problems...Your spouse, sister, mother-in-law, etc. You don't have time to think about how happy you really are!! Until one day you sit down and you think... "What the heck am I living for?" You may love life, but you are living in such a cycle of the-- "You are OK..." --stage that you haven't even noticed that your spirit is down. Somebody may ask you in passing, "Hey, how are you doing?" Because that person sounded so up, you reflect the same mannerism back. You begin to feel like your purpose on earth is to make everybody else happy... Certainly not everybody else...What about you?!

This is the step that needs to be focused on soooo much, that even the other steps can be overlooked if you just don't have the energy to start at the beginning. Lots of people feel they need to rush things to get to the next step. Well, we will see if you truly are ready for this step and ready to move on.

How to feel better about your life...

Do this NOW

• go to the bathroom and close the door
• look in the mirror at your eyes, look deep
• lovingly put your hands together and rest the side of your face on your hands
• make it look as if you are going to go to sleep on your hands
• look deep into eyes in the mirror
• say very quietly as if you are talking to a tiny baby.
• I love you --- --- You may laugh when you do this step, but when you do it over and over again with the seriousness that you would say to a conscious baby. You will feel something you may not of felt inside yourself in a long time. Then this is when you may smile and really believe what you are saying. Doing this often, every time you go to the mirror will be something that is very special. Your spirit will rise within you and your new life energy will make you smile.

Go ahead and try it! Happiness is here to stay!

Proper Breathing --- Big Step to Happiness

 Step 1

Have you ever given yourself just 15 minutes in your day away?

• This is 15 minutes of completely uninterrupted time in your own away space.
• The key is to be comfortable with just YOU as company.
• That means that you have to find a place alone where no body will bug you, so by letting everybody know that you are busy and you are not to be disturbed. This includes phones, computer e-mail, etc!
• When you have kids there are interruptions all the time...You have to make sure that this 15 minutes in your day is yours.

This is your away time!

It really is only 15 minutes, but so many people have a difficult time finding it.

*If it is difficult ---Go to the bathroom and lock the door. Somehow people get it when you have to use the bathroom .--- You won't be disturbed.

Or

Do it 15 minutes before you get up in the morning or before you fall asleep.

What do you do in this space and time? 
Proper Breathing - Big Step to Happiness

1. Breath... Too many of us breath improperly and and that prevents us from getting full cleansing breaths. Instead breaths become short, too fast and not consistent.
2. Practice breathing by PAYING ATTENTION...Sit or lie for 10 minutes and PAY ATTENTION to your breaths.
3. Slow the breaths down and relax.

Be totally comfortable during the process.

This is actually where you will find you and the process of BEING just YOU!

It is enjoyable and exciting and even sometimes scary for the first timers.

You will get used to this time JUST BEING YOU.

NOW

Just before your time is up think of something that bothered you in the day or is just a pet peeve.

FEEL and PAY ATTENTION...

Your breathing has probably speed up and you have lost touch with relaxation.

Get back to breathing with 20 slow breaths. (1 is a breath in and out and)

I'm going to give you some Homework to do.

• Get yourself your own little note book or journal to call your own.
• 
  
• Practice paying attention to your breathing during the day.
• Notice when your breaths change.
• When this happens get yourself back and remember to breath slowly to a count of 4 breaths (in and out counts 1)
• Write down when you felt your breathing changed in the day and why.
• Write down your experiences this week in your away space
• Find a perfect away space!
  

Life is what you make it.

If you make it to your 15 minutes of away space and time--- you are making a good step towards feeling better in your day and most importantly discovering who you really are!
