Happiness: The power of the smile for our mood

There can certainly be people and situations that seduce us away from our "frames of authenticity," and into a place of self-doubt and unnecessary apologizing. It is important to become aware of this initial pull so that we can seek higher ground.

Julie May, a successful entrepreneur, speaker, author, and "self-love expert," explains to us one of her own driving principles which is "time freedom." One of the things that Julie does to create more "time freedom" in her life, is to set goals which she knows the true "time cost" of, that she knows are in her highest good (not just surface or short-term good), and then to create a life that is enjoyable, purpose-driven, meaningful, and fulfilling. Julie suggests that we ask ourselves, "What do I really want out of this new venture?" Then, she says to focus on the alignment of our core values and authentic heart's desires with our long-term goals. Managing time cost efficiently leads to time freedom, the pathway to living your very best life!

So often we allow ourselves to go down the rabbit hole of needing to have control over people and situations. We get our heads set on how something should turn out, visualizing exactly what this looks like, and then attaching to that outcome with superglue. This often sets us up to host a variety of negative emotions. Though seemingly counterintuitive, when we fully surrender to the Universe, Higher Power, etc., clarity arrives . . . and with it, the solution.
