Does This Squirrel Have Something You Lost?

Share

While you watch the video below, ponder this question: here we are on the last day of January and have you consistently moved toward achieving the resolutions you made on January First??? Or did you lose your motivation (which the squirrel in the video demonstrates plenty of!) in the mistaken belief that keeping a resolution only requires will power?

 

What’s wrong with “will power”? Isn’t that what keeps us going toward our goals? Don’t you need will power to quit cigarettes or stay on a diet or keep a commitment to going to the gym regularly, or to be a more loving parent or spouse?

Will power is fine to get you off the ground. But the problem is that it is short-lived. What you really need is to learn how to tap into the massive power of the universal mind and access the true power of your own “Will” rather than the relatively weak “will power” most of us grew up learning how to use.

Be aware that the squirrel in the video did not wander past that yard one day, see the entire “Rube Goldberg” style contraption the humans had erected, hop on board the starting point and make its way easily toward the goal line and the reward. The humans set up one stage at a time, and each time the squirrel got a reward for getting that far. Slowly but surely, over the course of two weeks, the contraption grew and grew, and the clever squirrel raced on to the reward even though it was now further away. Set up incremental rewards for yourself to help yourself stay motivated! Don’t make the mistake of saying to yourself “This is the year I will be successful! No matter what” and then because you have not set up a series of goals to achieve, the dream seems far too difficult and impossible to achieve, so you give up almost right away.

Are you feeling a “bit” stressed? Lots of people get totally overwhelmed during the holiday season. It’s ironic, because this is supposed to be a time of joy, and good times. In trying to make things perfect, to get a long list accomplished, we often cut ourselves short on sleep, the right food and relaxation time.

So take a few moments now to sit, breathe slowly and deeply. Then… jump up and dance around with this video. And if you haven’t seen the brilliant Bollywood film called “3 Idiots” rent it today from Netflix or your favorite video store. You’ll be glad you did — it’s a heartwarming drama with lots of music and comedy… just the way YOUR life can be.

Ready? Click play to watch the music video — and I dare you to sit still! By the way, enjoy the English captions that are included in the video.

to your happiness and a cheerful joyous Christmas,

Be-Happier Tip: Advance Confidently

"Forget Your Troubles"

get the book at amazon

This time of year, we are especially prone to a lot of hurry and rush, and indecision and worry often tag along with that mode.

It can be easy to feel that it must be normal to question yourself, to fret about whether you’ve got the right goals, or maybe you should change direction midstream in your career or relationship.

Henry David Thoroeau presents us with the timeless gift of being confident and self-assured:  after spending over 2 years at Walden Pond, he suggests that if we would only advance confidently in the direction of our dreams, then the Universe responds by drawing toward us all that we need.

So, this season, make a commitment to yourself that you will shrug off your stress and worries, and instead breathe in deeply and slowly… understand that the power that creates worlds flows through you (Thank you, Abraham, for that insight) and then… ADVANCE CONFIDENTLY knowing that what you think about and envision will come to pass.

to your happiness and success,

Evelyn

Be-Happier Tip: Consider His Point of View

Share

Feeling stressed with your S.O. or mate? In any relationship, there are at least “two” sides to the situation or challenge you’re facing. Read below to see how you can find them, and why it is crucial that you do it now, without wasting any more time on fruitless arguments and giving each other the cold shoulder of disapproval and disappointment.

The reason I say at least two is that often an impartial person can shed some light on another Point of View that you haven’t considered. That’s why people sign up for coaches and go to therapists, hoping that someone else can reach in and fix what’s going wrong.

But for now, let’s look at how you can reduce your stress level by putting aside what you want for the moment, and instead take a look at what the “he” or “she” in your life is experiencing.

It’s that old saying about “walk a mile in my shoes” — and it really does work to take an honest look at how the situation looks from the other person’s viewpoint.

You will probably discover that this person is not your enemy — both of you DO want to have a happy relationship, but you’ve gotten caught up in that terrible trap of clinging to what you each think you “must” have in order to be happy.

When you look instead at what it would take to make the relationship itself stronger, healthier, happier, all of a sudden a door opens on new opportunities for communication.

  • let go of your need to be “right” — abandon that old idea because it is a harmful one and keeps you stuck in thinking only about yourself and your egoistic needs
  • ask the other person what they want!  Sounds simple, but many times we simply assume we know… and that assumption might be totally wrong
  • share from the heart what you are hoping for
  • agree to disagree on the aspects that you can’t seem to resolve about the situation
  • and agree to work in tandem to build and renew the love and the things that you do agree on

to your health and happiness,

Evelyn
