    Most people want more happiness in some aspect of their life. Yet, it is often considered elusive, if not impossible to attain. Actually, it is one of the few things you DO have control over in your life, although you might not know this to be true. This month's ezine is devoted to YOUR happiness. My wish for you is that you expereince an abundance of it today and every day!

    Warm regards,

    Suffering is Optional!
    How Much Happiness Can YOU Stand?

    If suffering is optional, why is there so much of it around? Based on the work of Drs. Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks, leading theorists in the field of mind-body integration, the answer to this question lies in a concept called The Upper Limits Problem (ULP), which simply states that we can only tolerate being happy for just so long before we sabotage ourselves and send happiness running and screaming from the room. Kind of crazy, huh!

    Happiness Tips
    Take Actions on These Simple Ideas and You Can Experience Greater Happiness Today!

    1. Laugh: Intentionally find ways to laugh. Rent a funny video, listen to a comedian, call someone you know who always makes you laugh.
    2. Be: Spent 10 minutes a day devoted to simply "being." Put on soft music, light a candle, close your eyes, and put all of your focus on the tip of your nose, noticing each inhale and each exhale.
    3. Appreciate: Find three things/people in your life that you are grateful for and express that gratitude openly.


    Flower Bud Something to Ponder

    The bud stands for all things,
    Even for those things that don’t flower,
    For everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing,
    Though sometimes it is necessary to reteach a thing its loveliness,
    To put a hand on the brow of the flower,
    And retell it in words and in touch
    It is lovely
    Until it flowers again from within, of self- blessing.
    ~Pema Chodron
