Sixteen Steps to Happiness

"TAKE small steps each day.. you might NOT get there Today.. but you'll be closer than Yesterday"

You would think that taking tiny little steps daily wouldn't bring about change or seem kind of trivial, right?!   However I'm here to tell you, that's not true.. in fact any steps in the right direction for me have meant better than not taking any at all..

Keep moving.. keep pushing through those hurdles/obstacles.. even if the results are not instant, trust me you'll see results.. you'll cover some distance.. DO NOT give up

Today I saw a post that is inline with what I have just said & I love to share with you.. if it brings about changes for even one person alone.. ill be happy :)

FOLLOW these sixteen steps below to HAPPINESS

  • Push yourself to get up before the rest of the world, start with 7am, then 6am, then 5.30am..pop on that big coat & scarf, go the nearest hill & watch the sunrise.
  • Push yourself to fall asleep earlier, start with 11pm, then 10pm, then 9pm..wake up in the morning feeling re-energised & comfortable.
  • Erase processed food from your diet.. start with no chips & biscuits then erase pasta, rice, cereal, then bread.. use the rule that if a child couldn't identify what it is in it, then don't eat it.
  • Get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast, tomatoes & mushrooms fried in coconut oil with onions or garlic or both with an egg & a slice of fresh avocado & squirt way too much lemon on it.. sit & eat it & do nothing else.
  • Stretch, start by reaching for the sky as hard as you can.. then trying to touch your toes..roll your head..stretch your fingers.. stretch everything.
  • Buy a 1L bottle of water (I use a filter bottle).. start with pushing yourself to drink the whole thing in a day, then try drinking it twice in a day.
  • Buy a beautiful diary & a beautiful black pen.. write down everything that you do.. including dinner dates.. appointments.. assignments.. coffee's.. what you need to do that day..no detail is too small.
  • Strip your bed of your sheets & empty your underwear drawer into the washing machine.. put a massive scoop of scented fabric softener in there & wash.. make your bed in full.
  • Organise your room.. fold all your clothes(bag what you don't want).. clean your mirror.. your laptop & hoover your floor.. light a beautiful candle or like me burn an essential oil..
  • Have a luxurious shower whilst playing your favourite music.. wash your hair.. scrub your body.. brush your teeth.. lather your whole body in coconut oil or your preferred moisturiser..get familiar with the part between your toes.. your inner thighs.. the back of your neck.
  • Push yourself to go for a walk.. take your headphones.. if you're lucky enough to live by a beach.. go there.. smile at strangers walking the other way & be surprised how they smile back..if you have a dog, bring him with you, observe his behaviour.. realise you can learn from him.
  • Message old friends with personal jokes, reminisce.. suggest a catch up soon.. even if life gets in the way.. push yourself to follow it up.
  • Think long & hard, what interests you?.. self development.. Crime.. sex.. long forgotten romance etiquette or if like my Mr, Zombies.. find a book about it & go read it.. there is a book out there for everyone.. Go read it.
  • Become the person you would ideally fall in love with.. compliment people.. tell those that inspire you.. stick your tongue out at babies.. challenge yourself to just be nice for one whole day..then a week.. walk with a straight posture.. look people in their eye (I do this always).. ask people about their story.. talk to acquaintances' so they become friends.
  • Lie in the sunshine.. daydream about your life, the one you would lead IF failure wasn't a thing.. open your eyes.. take small steps to make it happen for you.
PRINT this out.. Follow these little steps.. adjust to your lifestyle & interests but ideally just implement these into your life

Let me know how you all get on.. id love to know if any of you actually try this & how you find its worked for you.

Have a blessed day everyone & thank you for reading & your support with my blog

"DONT put off Today what your future self will NOT want to do Tomorrow"

THAT Benjamin Franklin was a wise man wasn't he?!

I thought being a mother of 4 children (my excuse) meant that although I thought I wanted to do things for myself I am most definitely far too busy & SOMETHING always came up which meant what I wanted to do didn't happen.. however I just needed to work my day better & STOP procrastinating & using my children as an EXCUSE as to why I wasn't doing these things & BE HONEST with myself (the reality)!!

So here I am with my first post..im actually doing it, I set time aside to set up my blog today & no more leaving until another day (which wont happen) and tell myself I CAN do this & now look, I'm here doing it!

My main reason for wanting to share things with you all.. is because my ultimate result & achievement would be to inspire other people like myself to do the things they always thought of doing but either never get round too or made excuses or feared doing. 

We only get one life & id love to encourage as many of you as I can to build & live the life you dream of but also deserve & have worked hard to not only give to others but yourself.

I've learnt in life.. that the only person you can really correct and change is YOURSELF

How can you expect others to see GOLD.. where you can only see DUST

Wishing everyone a blessed day & if you made it to the end of this post then I'm very Thankful & it means for myself..I've not only found my WORDS but they are now being READ too
