I am such an advocate for happiness (yet not always a prime example ~ is anyone?) and what it means to YOU. Happiness is such a universal and (maybe) over advertised topic that perhaps people have become immune to the word. But have you ever asked yourself what happiness MEANS to you? Really?
The things that make me the happiest seem to be the most simple ~
Snow. Swings. Chocolate. My bike. Traveling. Time with the hubs. Chocolate. Chocolate. My most favorite thing though that makes me giddy? Chris and I have a "love jar" in our house and every time we have a warm thought about one another, we write it down and put it in the jar. We are not allowed to look in the jar or open it until every Christmas Eve. It makes me so happy I could cry! I hope that more and more people can see that happiness doesn't stem from external factors like money and a job or a ring.... those things don't last forever. And they weren't cultivated by you. Just my two cents.
On another note, and a very off topic thing I am about to say here: I have learned that breathing - connecting yourself to your breath, can ward off cancer. "Huh?" you say.... it's true. Cancer cannot live in an oxygen rich environment. Have you ever noticed when you are stressed that you are breathing short little breaths? Or when you are hurrying from point A to point B you aren't even breathing!? Or maybe you haven't even noticed because you haven't built a connection with your breath yet? Try it. Even if it is for 3 deep breaths a day. It's pretty cool stuff!
Clearly yoga and things related to clean living are on my brain. My 300 hour training starts tomorrow, and I couldn't be more thrilled.
Now to my favorite part of my day - FOOD.
How about this for goodness on Thanksgiving: Paleo Pumpkin Cheesecake. I will let you know how it turns out. The recipe: http://paleomg.com/thanksgiving-pumpkin-cheesecake/
