In the spirit of having more fun and not taking life so seriously, I am challenging myself to do just that for one week. I call this “The 7 Day Happiness Challenge!” This is a fun challenge aimed at choosing happiness no matter what the present moment brings.
Here are the guidelines:
- Empty the mind. Thoughts may come and thoughts may go but I will not react and I will not judge.
- Take nothing seriously.
- When I am angry, I MUST laugh.
- When I am sad, I MUST find humor.
- When I am grumpy, take a nap.
- If I have nothing loving to say, I will smile and choose silence.
- Negativity is not an option and must be remedied immediately. (This includes apologizing when I don’t want to and forgiving those who never said they were sorry.)
This week life will be fun! I will CHOOSE to feel good in every situation. I will find joy in sadness, pleasure in pain, and peace in conflict.
My challenge begins tomorrow. If anyone would like to join me in this lighthearted challenge, I would love to hear from you! Leave me a comment, check in throughout the week, and feel free to share with your friends and loved ones for added support. I recommend keeping a record of your transformative (and hopefully humorous) moments to look back on.
My mantras for the week: Life is meant to be fun! I am here to love and be loved!
