Actually, it needs to be you are amazing. You are. Seriously. Exactly as you are. Haven't heard it lately (or ever)? It's about time you did. You, my friend, are a gift to the world. Still not convinced? Look at how those who love you most see you. You might think, "They don't really know me. They don't really see what I am." But they do. They see you more clearly than you see you. They see the amazing you it is time you saw, too.
This song was the inspiration for this week's musing. What a powerful message we all need to hear! (There is a reason it has 97 million views!) I have been singing it all around the house, letting my husband and children hear the message. I even whisper it to my children when they are sleeping. (You get direct access to their subconscious brain that way!)
So, if you have been following the musings for the past couple weeks, I have been reflecting on the power of a smile. Just smiling or even contracting the muscles in your face will uplift you.
But it gets even BETTER, just bringing on the feeling of a smile makes you feel better. While I am unaware of any research here, try it. Pretend you are about to smile. Feel better? This smiling is some powerful stuff!
(This is not my idea -- it is a lovely meditation from Lilias Folan. Read more here.)
Are you smiling yet? Do you need a reason? Do it! If you need some help, check out today's Feel Good Moment. Serious cute factor. Dare you to watch and NOT feel like you are about to smile! :-) Enjoy!
Okay, to continue from last week's musing...it gets even better. Did you know that simply contracting the muscles in your face that create a smile makes you feel better? (And this is proven by research. Read Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink.) Try it...you feel better, don't you? Seriously, smiling is powerful!
So, on that note, I have another Feel Good Moment to leave you amused! In fact, I have two. I found these two this past week. One of them is 9 minutes -- worth all 9! The second one is a bit raw, but the humor is my humor so I hope you enjoy it too. Enjoy!
Warning: The following video is over 9 minutes. If you feel lighter as a result, isn't it worth it? I especially enjoy this group (I am an avid YouTube follower.) What creativity! Taking something they love (and are good at) and making it very funny. Inspiring!
This video is a bit raw. The comedian has my sense of humor, though, so I thought it was hysterical. Hope you enjoy it, too!
