This week we will be grateful for all the goodness in our lives but especially the goodness within ourselves. It is usually easier for us to see goodness in others (and yes other stuff too -- but we're concentrating on goodness right now).
Happiness Sprite Tip:
It is a wonderful time to be grateful for you -- the gift you are to your friends, family (even if times can be challenging with family), and to the entire planet. What are some of the qualities that your friends, co-workers and family value about you? You could even ask some of them.
Be on the lookout for times you are generous, forgiving, good humored, creative, playful, come up with an interesting solution to a problem, choose peace & happiness over being right (makes life much easier, you know), etc.
Do all of this as an experiment -- even if it makes you squirm a bit (squirming is good for you -- it gets the blood and oxygen flowing and improves the immune system -- I just made that up, but who knows, maybe it's true).
One thing is true -- we are much too critical of ourselves. We deserve to be more loving with ourselves and the more goodness we see, the more things we will see to appreciate about ourselves. This will also be a gift to those we love. As we see more to appreciate in ourselves, we will just naturally also look for the good in others. And, when we aren't acting too wisely, or with mcuh goodness, please remember there is a small child, within each of us, that's just needing some kind attention.
Much love & laughter,
