9/22/2023: This Happiness meeting is about harnessing energy and taking your Highest Good by the hand...

• Let's agree that this meeting is as powerful of a tool for creation and manifestation as you choose it to be.
• Pick up only on what attracts you. 
• The only design requirement: Be willing to make this your most real, "ME FIRST" .
• Let's make this all about a brand new creation. 
• Let's deal with something that is totally out of your box.
• This has to be about YOU FIRST!!! That may be the hardest part!!!

Create from your Spirit place!

Create from this moment... 

What is your POWER HOUR stirring up for you??

Fall/Winter Solstice

What I appreciate about the fall/winter solstice is that it is symbolic of changing from out door focus and work - to indoor work, the work of working on the inside of the home, and perhaps using all of the garden canning, and eating healthy.

All of the hard work of summer is over. Its now time to tuck in and think of what would your power hour look like...

What is your end goal?

• Health, fitness, even doing something that is totally necessary (like new eye glasses and better indoor lighting so you can read/study, and bring in what you crave... bring in a bit of nature)
• Home front: making your home flow so that your power hour can become much more than a Happiness meeting!!
• Rearrange for the winter. Make space for the new. Out with the old.... 
• New workability
• New commitment: Welcoming ME FIRST POWER HOUR: Pick only what is the most attractive to you!

I am picking body shaping and increasing flexibility!

• I am taking my "ME FIRST POWER HOUR" on having new access to things that purely attract me:
• Build my most active retirement living project. A really ideal location on the perfect and affordable piece of land with safety, privacy, large numbers of amazing old Oaks
• sweet Hill country nights, country simplicity, candle light nights...
• healthy, wonderful inner circle of friends 
• phenomenal healthy, home cooking; weekend get togethers, music
• eating plant based foods
• Amazing, endless garden...hook up the outdoor jacuzzi that fosters being one with nature
• vitality, being open to receiving and giving spiritual blessing
• animal communication
• energy work, Tibetan bowls, chimes, 
• massage, yoga, pilates, clean work out room, set up with music
• gems, precious stones, turquoise, jewelry design zone
• I'd love to go weekend rock hounding
• nurturing my prayer and spiritual body
• Nice clothes
• Nice tractor for shifting big rocks. 
• Design a water feature

Happiness Meetings are meant to be increasing new areas of focus!

Choose to connect with your inner self

Love having a daily relationship with myself and my daily progress:::

Every moment is open to my now/new...

Learn deeper surrender; totally release lifetime burdens...

Learn to allow yourself get in to your Spirit

BE in this moment.

Take time to grasp our impermanence.

Life is precious GIFT!

Love yourself!

Love what you have created for yourself!

Love your inner circle!

Plant plants! 

Celebrating THIS life:

ME FIRST Affirmations!!

• I am light and I am in this moment
• I bring harmony to disharmony
• Peace and all of its' qualities emanate from my heart center
• I choose to make peace with the unacceptable, and I am free from all forms of suffering
• I am an empowered co-creator
• I do my best living and breathing when I am in sync with Highest Good

in my opinion

It’s pretty easy to know

what we need to do for ourselves… eventually lol.

Basically the desire to do a me first to me means 

for myself 
-to do less of something 

-do more of something 

-or don’t do a particular thing at all.

there are a whole host of reasons why putting ourselves into a mode of me first may take a progression of  personal understanding & a daily practice 

A given is - comprehending

& living (self )love.

It needs ( on my opinion ) to be coupled w/ purpose … the more I tend to me first - the more love I can be for others 

Though , what if identity issues are a challenge ?

For myself , I had a significant loss and it affected my being in touch with where things are in the present , where they are now  (since my loss was traumatic)

& where I am headed for in the future.

I very recently passed a major hurdle , and

I am gratefully coming to terms with what really matters to me , and I love that .

I feel life can be exciting again , and peacefulness in my spirit is becoming a daily experience more often than not

I could have never done this if I didn’t believe in a Higher Power & prayer.

Its all a process , so I know I am not done yet … and grateful for that . Because that means it can only get better from here .

It is doable though

& now more palatable as I allow myself to be truly authentic/ compassionate with myself

w/ wherever I am

& whomever I am interacting with.

We are not an island , though we can treat our spirit with the love it deserves -alone or w/ others 

We can always do / be  a me first

& the love that is our real

essence -will shine on

for  ourselves & others

 even if others don’t understand.

The real deal is we need to .

1. What risks are you willing to take to reach your goals?

everything in life has risks … I try to treat life as though it’s rigged in my favor , I do this with prayer I know if I am feeding my thoughts with health life supporting energy … and I create my intentions / plans everyday … I am doing my part & I trust God to handle the rest 

2. How are you going to get there?

I am

following my heart/ passion

& listening to  my gut and doing the

footwork & praying .

God has my back .

My footwork is mind, body spirit approach … so I will be/feel my best as I do my best

Thankfulness is very underrated . It is my belief that desires can be so beautiful, and motivating.., though if not energized by heart & soul of sheer gratitude … desires can sound like a spoiled child being given to and still saying more more mote & not fully knowing what they have right now & the good that got them to this moment 

Today I am grateful for being .

I am grateful to be housed , clothes & fed. 
Today I am grateful for absolutely every person, place that has been a part of my journey .

There have been no bad terrible … just experiences. And every one of them

led me to here . Thank You God for life. Truly blessed .

Shawn Achor’s five happy habits:  

Every morning write down three

new

things you’re grateful for.

I am grateful for all the things I have gathered /collected over the years / I chose them.  & loved them & love the opportunity to see where they fit in my life today .

Journal for

two

minutes a day about a positive experience

from the past 24 hours.

I Will journal for 2 min every day after being grateful or some other wonderful focus

Meditate daily for a

few minutes.

I will meditate daily 

At the start of every day, write an email to someone praising or thanking them.

thank others daily 

Get fifteen minutes

of simple cardio

exercise a day.

From a to do list --- to a BE-ing list!

I am enjoying the many elevating thoughts - and finding that this moment:

• I am brand new in a brand new moment. Everything positive is possible...

• I allow all of my favorite attributes to mingle. I am grateful for these aspects that are reflections of the many parts of what I am most attracted to... 

• Feel Oneness with nature and Oneness with the beautiful Gift of Life! 

• Opening and allowing connecting and communication with animals

In response to Life is about making excellent choices!!'s post:

love your

to do list --- to a BE-ing list!

I'm just mapping on...

I previously wrote the affirmation:

"I am brand new in a brand new moment. Everything positive is possible..."

2 days later, I did something that I really needed to do; it was something that I've needed for a while!  I booked a moving company to load up my stuff and move it from one state to where I am currently living. Even though my property will still need to be in storage, at least it will be near me, and I may actually be able to get an apartment lined up and get a job lined up and get everything to come together at the same time...

I am almost done with a 16 month school program, and I have to take a final certification test, and I'm free!

But, out of this happiness meeting -- I did something that was truly necessary - and it was not attractive, it was painful! BUT - it's no longer painful. Now, it's empowering! Now it's in the present tense, and I can't wait!

I did not see this coming, yet, my freedom is coming. 

:I am brand new in a brand new moment!!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!

What risks am I willing to take??

• I am willing to face my fears, my inadequacies, my weaknesses and I am willing to bring in a fresh ray of sunlight into the places that need healing light.
• I am willing to trust in my faith! Faith is my power source!
• I am willing to discard trivial ego. What matters is how I feel about taking risks. What matters is how I interpret my success. 
• When it comes to my personal growth, I do not the kind of inner circle where I seek the approval of others, so that is a non-issue.
• My focus is the big picture: living in the now AND actively creating a retirement that is stable and economically sound and based on being physically active.

I am willing to risk being unafraid.

I am willing to risk being confident!

I am willing to risk trusting myself, that I am adequate!

I am enough!!

I am the perfect fit!
