Happy for No Reason

This summer I have been digesting and applying Marci Shimoff's book Happy for No Reason and peeling away the layers of beliefs and limiting thoughts to get at the core of my being, the core of my bliss, the Source of all joy within. I have been letting go of all ideas of how Life "should be" with the help of Byron Katie's questions and relaxing into accepting "what is" free of any stories or judgments so that I can engage in true creation rather than problem-solving actions.

I can feel the difference now between inspired action rather than trying to change things I do not like...the first is expanding and exhilarating and the later is contracting and stressful. More and more I am cultivating habits that bring me into alignment with Who I Really Am...meditation, visualizing, praying, doing qigong, eating healthy, exercising daily, dancing, singing, laughing, and actually playing through my day regardless of activity.

I am referring to my galpal Lorraine's awesome BlissCals that read "No Biggie" or "It's All Good" or "Thriving" throughout my day and really starting to respond in a playful and trusting way that reflects my new belief that All is Well.

When I bump up against others who are seeming less than happy or healthy, I am praying for the "greatest, highest good for all" and leaving it up to God to know what that is in every situation. I am trusting that I can love my life as it is more and more now in order to relax into the flow and float downstream towards all I am desiring.

I am indulging in the essence of what I am envisioning for my family---peace, pleasure, ease, joy, freedom, fun, harmony, forgiveness, loving communication, compassion--and allowing the details to be handled by my Inner Being and just surprise me.

What freedom I feel now, where I once felt trapped. What joy I feel now where I once felt resentment! and I am better able to allow my husband and son the room to feel angry or frustrated without trying to immediately drag them into feeling happy again. I am knowing that this too shall pass and that all I am needing to attend to is my own vibration...and if someone is showing up on my radar feeling out of sorts, I can just do Ho'oponopono and think "Forgive me Inner Being for my own irritation-I am sorry--Thank you for giving me this chance to clear and realign...I love you Inner Being!

Happier and Happier for no reason :)
