“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” ~ Marcus Aurelius

There are so many ways we can keep happiness thriving within us by continuously finding ways to appreciate ourselves and see the joy, humor and magic in each moment.

Reminding you today, to find something & someone to appreciate and be grateful for each day. You are surrounded with a magnitude of examples to do so. Remember how supported you are by those seen and unseen forces. Know your happiness is infectious and your giddiness makes others happy. Infuse the energy of your happiness in everything you do.

Come to play every day; put your whole self in, do the Hokie Pokie and turn yourself around, that’s what it’s all about!

“Recapture the childlike feelings of wide-eyed excitement, spontaneous appreciation, cutting loose, and being full of awe and wonder at this magnificent Universe.” ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

Life can be described as a ride, which sometimes feels like a roller coaster with its twists, turns, ups and downs and oh yea, that loop that leaves you feeling upside down. A lot of us are feeling like we’re in that loop AND upside down.

Life is constantly changing, evolving and moving forward. Any uneasiness or unhappiness is our resistance to these changes. We can be pretty stubborn moving out of our comfort zones.

Reminding you today, to embrace the ride of life in constant renewal of self. Any pattern you feel stuck in is a choice. You have the ability to respond with your thoughts and actions. When you make the best of a situation, you bring out the best in you.

Meet each day with joy and bring in new experiences that will add to your growth and make you smile bigger than ever before.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• I move freely and easily, knowing that each moment is new and special.

• The child in me knows how to love and sing and dance and heal. I continually honor and cherish myself.

“You are obligated to understand that you are unique in the world. You are utterly a new thing in creation. Your life goal is to realize this uniqueness.” ~ Aaron Perlow

Quarantine can’t keep us down! Each of us is a perfect fit in the Universe. Our only job…to be in true joy and connection with life. We shine bright when we remove any artificial masks and express our authenticity and individuality. Our originality is our ’strength’, we cannot be duplicated.

Reminding you today, you are a perfect fit in the Universe and your uniqueness makes the world a better place. Embrace your gifts and blossom to all you were created to be. You truly are one in a million, and are always connected to the magic of the Universe. You matter and make such a difference; even more than you know.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• It is with joy that I digest the experiences of life.

• Just like the bright summer sun, I am a radiant being. Others feel safe and warm in my presence.

How to Let Your Soul Shine

“There is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost.” ~ Martha Graham

I am in immense awe of the creative diversity within each of us that we have the privilege of our lifetimes to discover. Are we accessing it fully by spending time in our imagination, curating what speaks to us?

The fact that we ‘aspire’ to do or be anything means it is within. Our admiration for the talents of others is the act of recognizing it within ourselves.

Reminding you today, to take the time to dive into your imagination and express your creativity in whatever brings you joy. Play in the endless inspiration that flows because there is a unique expression in you, make room for it. That’s how you Let Your Soul Shine.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• My creativity guides me to new endeavors and outlets for my talents.

• I keep my mind active and alive by exploring new frontiers. Learning keeps me mentally strong.

Taking Our Thoughts Higher

Inspired By:

“We don’t have to be defined by one thing; the only thing stopping you is you.” ~ Jennifer Lopez

A lot of us are thinking that we want things to go back to normal. What is normal really? It’s just being used to the way things were done. A lot of us don’t like change and some fear change but it’s really the way we look at it. So how can we change our thoughts around what we are collectively going through?

Watching the latest Joel Osteen sermon he said something I just loved. “A ship will not sink with the water around it, it will only sink if you let the water in.”

Reminding you today, to strengthen your peace inside. Don’t let the water of fear and the news into your mind and sink your ship. Let go of limiting, negative thoughts. Set in motion new, open, allowing thoughts that will bring you abundance, clarity, health and happiness. Do something each day that makes you feel better than you did the day before.

This is the time to bring out the best in yourself. Honor yourself with the reminder that you are limitless to create and all is well in your world.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• When I ‘let go’, I grow and live for the future, without regrets about the past.

• I rejoice that I adapt easily to the ebb and flow of life.

Focus on Love

Inspired By:

“Did I offer peace today?

Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?

Did I say words of healing?

Did I let go of my anger and resentment?

Did I forgive?

These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.” ~ Henri Nouwen

What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love…love is all you need. It all begins with Love. Love of self allows us to see the world from the perspective of its absolute beauty. Love of others strengthens our unconditional acceptance.

Reminding you today, when you’re cooped up to focus on LOVE. Know how truly loved you are. BE love. ALLOW love. NURTURE love. SHOW love and be GRATEFUL for this love you are able to feel so deeply for yourself, for another and your higher power in the Universe. LOVE is powerful, LOVE heals and LOVE always wins.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• I am surrounded by LOVE.

• Love is…the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works Miracles in our Lives.

The Kindness Shift

Inspired By:

“It’s not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and without ulterior motives, even – or rather, especially – when we’d prefer not to be.” ~ Josh Radnor

There is a surge in social media interaction as we are all practicing social distancing and while there are a great amount of positive, inspiring posts, there are also a fair share in the opposite direction. The current situation is bringing out some core fears and for some it’s translating into anger, rants and intolerance of a different opinion.

What happened to seeing the best in others? We need to support, encourage and most of all accept one another. We are all looking for the same things in life, TO BE HAPPY, TO BE SEEN, TO BE LOVED, and right now especially, TO FEEL SAFE.

Reminding you today, to communicate your kindness at every turn. Enter every interaction with appreciation, compliments, simple kind gestures; just daily love, in all ways to all of your relations. Everything you say and do has the potential to affect someone in a very positive way. You create a ripple effect with your kindness, positivity and acceptance. Your words and actions have such impact. When you encourage, you lift the world.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• My words and actions are healing because they come from the heart.

• I live in the paradise of my own creations.

Operate from Strength

Inspired By:

“When you develop your ability to balance your emotions, unexpected problems won’t throw you off balance as easily and you’ll return more quickly to a positive outlook.” ~ Peggy McColl

It is necessary that we have a daily practice for balance and a feeling of peace. When our emotions are flying around trying to create chaos, it’s important we have clarity to receive our next steps and allow our inner strength to rise to the occasion.

When we are stressed, we must remind ourselves to mentally challenge it ‘without emotions’ keeping core thoughts strong and knowing the Universe is always working in our favor, always for good.

Reminding you today, when you do your daily mindful practice, it is easier to not get drained or pulled off-center. This seems like common sense but when you are knee deep in the quicksand of emotions, it’s a great reminder that you are one-shift-of-a-thought away from your peaceful balance and operating from strength.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• My mind and body ARE in perfect balance, I AM a harmonious being.

• I take time during the day to meditate, daydream and quiet my mind. I feel newly energized after these periods of restfulness.

How You Spend Your Mind Time

Inspired By:

“Focus on opportunities not setbacks. Focus on what you can do, not what you can’t. Focus on the present moment, not the past or the future.” ~ Akiroq Brost

We can create a storm within; fear, anxiety, worry, judgement, (I could go on). These emotions come when we are feeling out of control, which the majority of us are feeling right now. The key to peace is acceptance, and that doesn’t mean laying down for this and feeling powerless. it’s exactly the opposite. We know where we are and we know what we have to do, and that’s how we take our control back. That’s where our power is.

Reminding you today, of the rising strength within you. Be gentle with yourself and others as all are processing differently. Use this time to invest in yourself, reading, doing that meditation you kept putting off and connecting with family and friends. As you fill your thoughts with love and healing, shine your light upon others, it is the gift you have that can be delivered right now.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• I, and only I can change my thinking, for I AM the only thinker in my mind.

• Where I place my attention is where I place my energy.

Reconnecting With Your Happy

Inspired By:

“Happiness comes from within. It is not dependent on external things or on other people. You become vulnerable and can be easily hurt when your feelings of security and happiness depend on the behavior and actions of other people. Never give your power to anyone else.” ~ Brian L. Weiss

What happens when we believe that happiness is this coveted emotion that can be stimulated or controlled by outside sources? Or falling into the belief that this job, title, house or person will make us happy.

Depending upon something outside of us to bring us happiness will always be a roller coaster. Are we really going to let our definition of something or someone control how we feel?

Reminding you today, of your innate joy and that your happiness is your responsibility. Find ways that consistently nurture yourself with play; laugh, lighten up and appreciate where you are. Joy and love are your natural states of being – just look at a baby…naturally joyful! Staying in your power of happiness even while you’re wanting more or craving change will shift you into your next chapter; balanced and grounded in the truth of you.

Daily Affirmations with Louise Hay

• I acknowledge myself for all the good I have created in my life.

• I remember that in any relationship I can choose the path that makes me happy, whole, and complete.
