Happiness Tip No 1: Smile. Raise the corners of your mouth. Soon your smile will become genuine. The smile that begins as an effort and a pretense quickly grows to become genuine, and given time, a habit of happiness. In the words of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh,
"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the sense of your Joy”
Happiness Tip No 2: Forgive someone for something right now. Release the resentment and anger. This practice is for you to become happier. Telling the other person that you forgive them is completely optional, and is merely a bonus.
Happiness Tip No 3: Stretch your body. Do yoga, do qigong, or just stand and stretch. As a simple stretch, stand and hold your arms out to your sides forming a cross. Gently bend each hand back at the wrist until the fingers point straight upward. Twist each hand and arm in a wringing motion.Oh, another thing, Don't compare your life to others,
You have no idea what their journey is all about J
Happiness Tip No 4: Be of service. Find someone who has worse troubles than you and do something nice for them today. .......
Happiness Tip No 5: Turn on happy music and dance. Don't stop 'til you're tired. Dance with someone or dance all by yourself. Choose music that makes you want to move and keep moving such as Latin Fitness Dance music.Have you tried a Zumba Dance class yet?
Happiness Tip No 6: Spend some time with a furry friend. If you don't have your own, borrow a cat or dog to love today....... (I love my dog :)
Happiness Tip No. 7: Take a quiet walk by yourself. Focus on each step and on your breathing. As stray thoughts enter your mind, thank each one, and quickly release the thought and return to a focus on your breathing and your steps. (PS If you are in London - Take an umbrella :) :)compare your life to others, you have no idea what their journey is all about. :)imes your smile can be the source of your joyimes your smile can be the source of your joy."

Sex, Success, Rules and Dating
My belief is that sex is sacred energy. The act itself is the only energy that creates life. I view this as a very spiritual connection. When we decide to cross the bridge of friendship and connect intimately we are embracing one another, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.
On a physical level we take on a partner's energy ...... their viruses, their bacteria, their passion and pace.
It stands to reason that if this happens on a physical level, it must happen on an emotional and spiritual level too. We take on our partner's emotional and spiritual energy.
When we don't really know much about this intimate partner, their physical, emotional and spiritual energy, it could be a very dangerous combination.
Other than just once :) I have always waited at least 5 months, to really get to know my partner before crossing that bridge. I need to know what his Values are, what his short and long term goals are, what he thinks of me, how he feels about me, how he will Value and support me and those I value in my life.
I certainly wouldn't want to share my sacred energy with a man who wouldn't support my values. This cannot be determined in the first few weeks of meeting him.
When coaching my clients I strongly suggest that they find out more about the people they are dating before connecting intimately.
I love the way Steve Harvey writes about it in his book "Act Like A Lady, Think Like a Man" when he advocates the 90 day Rule. I'm a great believer that this Rule works well in the dating world.

THE BEST KEPT SECRET TO RAISING THE BAR IN YOUR LIFE
Saturday 20 March 2010
I am having a glorious day. At home, just my son and I, having quality chats while I prepare for a cheese and wine party with friends tonight.
A little while ago we were chatting about how “Birds of a Feather Flock Together” and you become like those that you spend your time with.
You are a reflection of those you spend your time with.
If you are surrounded by unhappy, overweight, financially desperate, or broke people you will wind up sharing the same fate.
If you want to be healthy, happy, fit, and wealthy, hang out with people who are healthy, happy, fit and wealthy.
Through the years I have watched friends, clients and family members all wanting more in their lives, and yet somehow failing to achieve this because they continue to “hang out” with friends who lower the bar in their lives.
So how do your friends spend their time? Are they constantly complaining about now having enough money …… whining about their partners and bad relationships ……. all the while enjoying their bad health as they take another puff of a cigarette, and never take action to change things?
I keep these people away from my life because they are time wasters, and time is something we can’t buy. When you identify these time wasters, CUT THEM OUT! They will lower the bar in your life and cause great damage.
I was explaining to my son that because I really want the very best in life for myself, and my very precious family, I do not allow time wasters and non-action takers into my space.
I take great care as to how I construct my personal environment. I choose to interact with the few who make me feel great, who love learning, having fun and contribute. They are the ones I want to be around.
What ACTIONS do your friends take? Are they talkers and not Doers?
How are you spending your time? Time is the ONLY limited thing in our life. How your friends spend their time is how you will spend your time.
There are consequences for all choices. As a Life Coach I fully understand about taking Responsibility, and one of the 5 Foundation Rules for my coaching practice is this:TO THE DEGREE THAT YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY DETERMINES YOUR SUCCESS
Your success is determined by your Actions and how you spend your time.
Choose who you spend your time with wisely, because this decision will affect you for the rest of your life.

Notes from the Universe 17 March 2010:
This caveat of all caveats is that absolutely nothing can be anything until it is first imagined.
Thoughts become things, nothing else does.
And so, it's the thoughts you choose from here on out that will become the things and events of your life, forevermore.
It is written in stone. There's no other way. It's your ticket to anywhere you can dream of. Your passport to abundance, health, and friendships.
The key to the palace of your wildest dreams. Your thoughts, and your thoughts alone, will set you in motion.
Your thoughts will yield the inspiration, creativity, and determination you need.
Your thoughts will orchestrate the magic and inspire the Universe.
Your thoughts will carry you to the finish line if you just keep thinking them. Never give up.
Never waiver, doubt, or ask. Aim high.
That you've even received this Note, that you're able to read it through, means you are so close.
So extraordinarily close. The hardest work has been done. The wars have already been waged. The lessons have already been learned.
The journey, now, is for home
