\"Happy<\/a>
Be Happier! – contact Janice Taylor, Life and Weight Loss Success Coach, Author, Artist, Positarian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dearest Tushkateers, Devotees of Our Lady of Weight Loss,<\/a> any and all who aspire to be positive, spread joy and live a happier life, I invite you to be an oxygen giving tree, which is far more gratifying and easier to do than you might think.<\/p>\n

First, read this oxygen giving quote. Please.<\/p>\n

A person whose mind is free from negative thinking spreads a life-giving influence much the same way a tree gives oxygen.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Although [such a] man or woman may seem to go through the day doing nothing extraordinary, without them nothing would revitalize the atmosphere in which we think.<\/em><\/p>\n

By being vigilant and not encouraging negative thoughts, all of us can offer this vital service \u2013 which benefits everybody.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

– Eknath Easwaran, Words to Live By<\/em><\/p>\n

You may want to read it again. I did. Several times, in fact, because I wanted to take it in on a cellular level.\u00a0 After which I did my best to imagine what a negative free day might look like, sound like and feel like.<\/p>\n

I remembered and relived (in my mind\u2019s eye) a snippet of my yesterday that was blissful, and every time I caught my mind manufacturing a negative thought, I replaced it with the feelings, the experience of my blissful moment, which in turn created a deep well of appreciation.<\/p>\n

Naturally, it was around nature. Want bliss? Want positive energy to flow through you and travel out to the Universe? Commune with nature. Seriously, sometimes it really is that simple.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my blissful moment. During my morning walk around the wash (dry river bed), the smell of the fresh morning air, combined with a soft, cool breeze, and a fat (not using this word in a pejorative way) lizard who waved and smiled at me (I swear) as she ran across the path, brought forth a rush of pleasure, a sense of harmony, and sheer wonderment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s your turn now. Yes? Yes! Watch your thoughts, hear them, adjust them, bring forth a more positive attitude and see what could happen.\u00a0 Let’s do our best to live a negative free day.\u00a0 Simple enough?\u00a0 Knowing full well that simple is not necessarily easy, but well worth the effort.<\/p>\n
