Ep 6- Be Happy
One of my favorite songs has the lyrics, Don't worry, be happy! Sounds pretty easy but we all know in reality it's not. Today, let's explore some tricks to being happy.
Have you ever heard the phrase, stop and smell the roses? Simple put, take the time to enjoy the little things around you. The simple act of using your 5 senses can help ground you and make you happier. My Happy Maker this week is my music playlist.
Take control of your mental state, just didn't worry and be happy! Try using the 5-4-3-2-1 method. The gist of the exercise is that you shift your focus from your stressor to your immediate 5 senses. Sight, touch, sounds, smell, and taste. Ask your self these questions and provide the answers in your head. What are 5 beautiful things I see? What are 4 things I want to touch? What are 3 pleasant sounds I hear? What are 2 things I smell that I like? and what is 1 taste I want to savor? So right now, wherever you are and whatever you are doing lets take a quick 5 senses inventory to improve our mood. Remember you are picking things that make you HAPPIER so focus on positive items not your to-do list.
This third week I’ve called, A Place for Everything, of the free book study reading The Lazy Genius Way by Kendra Adachi I am leading. It is not to late to join us in becoming Lazy Geniuses. There is a link to the registration There are 6 STUFF HABITS outlined in the chapter. I was very moved by Stuff Habit #2 Know where it will go before you bring it home. So, each time I see an owl I think about purchasing I ask myself “Where will I put this when I take it home” before I buy it. I use this principle for new kitchen gadgets, pillows and accessories, clothing- which I modify the question to when would I wear this.
Tune in to each episode released on Wednesdays, as I share with you tips and tricks I've learned to help you become an efficient, effective, and fulfilled educator and human being.
