monday morning musing: easy way to feel good!

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Smile!

Yep, that's it.  So simple and so powerful.  Did you know smiling boosts your immune system, lowers high blood pressure, and releases serotonin, endorphins and natural pain killers? (I knew laughter did.  I wrote about it here.  Didn't realize a simple smile could do the same!  Amazing!)  According to research done by the British Dental Health Foundation, smiling gives you the same level of stimilation as eating 2,000 chocolate bars!  (Love that one!)  You know, I must admit I did not check my sources on this one.  Frankly, I don’t care if this is “scientifically proven”.  Here’s where anecdotal evidence serves me perfectly well.  I feel better when I smile...don’t you? 

So, here's your assignment, smile, right now.  I have a few Feel Good moments to help you with that if your smile isn't easily forthcoming.  Then, pass it on.  Smile at someone, anyone.  My favorite is to simply smile at anyone and everyone, especially drivers driving by.  My smile almost always makes them smile and I know I have uplifted their day.

This humor completely cracks me up.  It is admittedly quite silly.  I hope it gies you a smile.  (There are more funny FGSs in the Related post section if you need more!) Enjoy!

Here are some animal voiceovers from the BBC.  The snake at the end still has me smiling!

 

monday morning musing: repeat after me...

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

I can.  I can.  I CAN.  I CAN!  I CAN!

Did you read the musing?  Did you read it with the inflection I wrote?  Read it again.  I'll wait...Feels good, doesn't it?  Words are empowering and, as far as words go, these two are some of the best.  Where in your life are you struggling?  Think about it.  Now look at yourself in the eyes in a mirror and repeat after me...

Where there is a will, there IS a way.  And sometimes that way is a downright miracle.  All you have to do is to begin with the thought, "I can!" Enjoy!

monday morning musing: I love me!

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

Love yourself as your neighbor...

Do you really love yourself as much as you do others?  If you did, you would take great care of yourself.   Do you find time for everything... except yourself?  Here's your test:

Do you treat your body like the magnificent temple it is? 
Feeding it nourishing food, regular exercise, and plenty of rest?

Do you nourish your spirit with activities that move your soul?
Regularly connecting deeply and profoundly with wonderful you?

Do you give yourself time to laugh, play, and giggle?

Do you nourish your mind with rich images, beautiful words, and ideas that expand your horizons?

We always find time for everything that is important to us. 
Don't kid yourself, we all do.  Do you find time for you?

Okay, this is a long one...8 minutes and 14 seconds.  It is worth every minute. 
I dare you to watch the whole thing and challenge your own feelings for yourself. 
The world deserves to have you be in love with yourself! Enjoy!

monday morning musing: are you ready for a miracle?

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

"I don't believe in miracles.
Miracles are the impossible coming true.
I believe ALL things are possible."
~Unknown

Mmmm...yummy thought, eh?  On Thursday, I set off a flurry of discussion on my Facebook page when I posted: "Positioning myself for a miracle...what about you?"  Much discussion ensued, including what a miracles is, whether one must "position" themselves for it, and then this comment above. 

"All things are possible..."  Many of us (I hope) when asked directly, would say that we believe in miracles (or, that all things are possible).  But I think we lose sight of them in our own lives or, at least, I did.  What I was referring to on that day was a situation in my life that was causing a tremendous amount of fear for me.  I realized I didn't believe a miracle would happen and I was scared.  When I "positioned" myself, I released my fear and I put myself in God's/Universe' hands.  I asked for help and let go.  I now believe ALL things are possible -- even for me in an area in which I have fear.  Where in your life do you need a miracle?  Do you believe it will happen for you?

Here are some good, old-fashioned miracles to inspire you! 
Yep, a little hard work, but we can all agree miracles are here, too! Enjoy!

Feel like miracles can't happen? Watch and heed. They happen and they can happen to YOU!

monday morning musing: go!

M U S E  U P O N  T H I S

GO!

“So many fail because they don't get started -- they don't go.  They don't overcome inertia.  They don't begin." (Ben Stein)  Here's a thought for you to overcome inertia, what if your life was exactly as it is right now 5 years from now? One year?  Six months?  Of course, you have areas in which you feel great appreciation and would feel blessed to have them be the same.  BUT what about the areas in which you know you are not living up to your capabilities?  Would you be satisfied?   NOW, think about what you are going to do today that is different from yesterday...

I think what inspired me most about this video is the thinking outside the box. 
What he did was perfectly legal, yet also completely unorthodox.  LOVE IT! Enjoy!
