Recently, one of my favorite best-selling authors, Karen Salmansohn, sent out an invitation to start a Bloggerang. Karen's regular blogs on various sites (including Oprah.com) reach many millions of readers. She asked for aspiring Bloggerangers to pitch her a terrific concept. If Karen felt that it made empowering content for one of her blogs, she would then blog about you. In return, the Bloggeranger would then hail Karen's latest book, Prince Harming Syndrome, on their blog, thus creating a Bloggerang Effect.Well . . . . SHE PICKED ME!!!! I have been a fan of Karen's for a long time, so this made my year. Karen has asked that I send her 3-5 tips on how people can boost happiness in their lives. I will list them here today. Coming this weekend to a blog near you....my review of Prince Harming Syndrome.
Late Bloomer’s 5 Tips for Bliss
In order for these tips to take root, you must practice them daily. Happiness is not bestowed upon us. It is a daily choice. As the song goes, “Don’t worry, be happy!” :-)
- Live authentically. Be true to yourself and follow your passions. (Kindly ignore all critiques from the Peanut Gallery.)
- Love really does make the world go ‘round. Cherish your family, friends and loved ones. Most importantly, love thyself.
- Laugh. It does a body good.
- There are an estimated 6912 spoken languages in the world, but only one is universal: Music. Shakespeare was on to something -- Music truly is the food of love (and life, I might add, Will!) Play on, everyone!
- Nurture your body, mind and soul through yoga, exercise, a spiritual practice, meditation, music, art and/or whatever else floats your boat and feels authentic to you.
Bonus tip:
- Read. I once heard in a yoga class that “you are only as young as your spine is flexible.” I would like to add that “you are only as young as your mind is flexible.” Pick up a good book and exercise your mind.
This is so exciting! What a way to add life to each bullet point.
