Finding My Way HomeLast night I was leaving San Jose where I had just heard Robert Holden, the author of Happiness Now speak. I was feeling happy, peaceful and filled with love. I got in my car and expected to be home in just over an hour.

I had confidence in being able to follow the freeway signs and navigate my way home. After 15 minutes I realized I wasn’t traveling on the same freeway I took to get there. I followed signs to San Francisco, knowing I was heading in the right direction, yet 30 minutes later I still was second guessing if I was on a route that was going to get me home to the East Bay.

Then, I had an epiphany. Recognizing that my feeling of happiness was being gradually taken over by stress, frustration and uncertainty, and wanting to get back to feeling happy, I had I asked myself, “What could I have done differently that would have been loving to myself?”

The answer was clear. The most loving thing I could do for myself when unfamiliar with an area would be to get out a map or turn on the navigation in my car or on my phone BEFORE driving.

I eventually made it home, as I always do, and I’m looking forward to creating a different experience for myself next time. What’s one area of your life where you could be more loving towards yourself?

Love, Health & Happiness,

Allowing Others to Give

GivingDo you dare ask for something? If I asked you to do a small favor for me, what’s the first thought that comes to your mind? 

It’s been my experience lately, that if I just ask, most people say “yes.”  It wasn’t always that way.  In fact, I was so used to doing most everything myself, that it didn’t occur to me to ask.

Is it easier for you to give than to receive? Do you allow others to give to you and do for you?  Is there a part of you that believes that you have to do it all on your own?  Or believes that if you receive from someone then you will owe them something in return? Or that you aren’t worthy of receiving?

Giving and receiving go together, you can’t have one without the other.  In order to receive, someone has to give.  If we don’t allow others to be giving, we block the possibility of receiving, and we actually cheat others out of the opportunity of being giving.

If there is something specific that you would like to be open to receiving, you could write them as an affirmation.  Here are some examples:

I allow and receive well-being.

I allow and receive love.

I allow and receive peace.

I allow and receive help with ______ (fill in the blank).

You may not get everything you ask for, but if you don’t ask, you will never know the answer.  And when someone offers to do something for you, it may feel awkward at first, but with practice saying “yes” will become more comfortable. 

Love, Health & Happiness,

Phyllis
