April Happiness

1.) The Work by Byron Katie: Today I went to a study group on the work by Byron Katie. I love that stuff so much. I went there and the person went through the work with another person. I went through it with him where in my life I was thinking the same thoughts. It was beautiful and I felt lighter afterwards. The beauty of Byron Katie is the fact that when we cling onto a thought that causes us stress it brings it plays back to us over and over again like a record. "Bob should pay me more respect." Plays over and over again in our heads. Wait, It is better explained by a program. Just having "Bob should pay me more respect" in the folder of Bob. When the actions of Bob happen, then the program is launched. Using the work makes more programs available and allows us to deal with it in a different way. Or it gives more tracks to play in our record player giving us space and choice to choose a different one.

2.) Intention Circle: I love going to the intention circle. Writing intentions to create a better life with amazing people has just been an amazing experience in my life. I have been going to this circle for nearly a year. I believe I started either at the end of April or the beginning of May. It has been a glorious journey with some amazing people. I love being a positive conscious intender.

3.) Nearly finishing my website: www.joyousexpansion.com. Tell me what you think about it. All suggestions will be taken with glorious gratitude. I am excited.

4.) New thoughts: My world was turned upside down a few weeks ago with the thought that if I believe my products and services help people, then marketing is a way to help people improve their lives. That is a lot better thought than marketing is a way to manipulate people into giving me their money.

5.) Having a business bank account: Just feels like I am actually doing it. It is set up with paypal and everything. I am ready to accept money for my services.

6.) Having a business license: This is a fun one too. I love having my name tradmarked.

7.) Finding something that works: I read this book called Presense Coaching. It has this exercise where while working on something I take breaks every 10 minutes and then refocus. Today while trying it I was able to make good headway on the little e-book I am writing. With a break in 10 minutes I just feel free to continue working because I know I will have a break in 10 minutes. Plus it breaks up those weird times when I am feeling a little stuck. So far I have enjoyed it. I am going to be experiementing with it more.

8.) Kerry's editing ability: My grammar and spelling are not as good as I would like. Having someone amazing like Kerry there to help me has been a god send. She is a gift from God. GO KERRY!!!

9.) Writing my book: That has felt so good when I have gotten down to writing it. It has been an amazing experience. Just writing something that I believe in and is something that is part of me. An amazing idea popped in my head two weeks ago. Why not work in who you are into your coaching? It is such a simple idea. Having people write intentions with my help and guide them through the process is something that I believe in. I believe that stating an intention with feeling and joy is a way to make our lives much better. I do not care if it is just programming our mind or just sending out vibrations into the Universe that is going to return them. It is all good in the hood.

10.) STEAK!!! Holy crap that is good stuff. Ever since I read that too much steak can shorten my lifestyle I have been steak crazy. It is so fucking good. QFC has such good T-bones and they are on sale constantly!

11.) Cream Cheese Bagel with Lox: Why did I never try this before? Holy crap lox is good. I don't really know what it is. It looks and tastes like delicious salmon to me. I wonder how good it tastes if I get it from somewhere other than QFC? I bet it is even better! SO EXCITING! ARGH!!

12.) My long hair: This has been a fun one. I love having long hair. It makes me feel like a professional wrestler sometimes.

13.) Adayshanti: Listening to him speak is awesome. He is the perfect counter balance for Eckhart Tolle. He is speaking from a similar place, however his ego that he wears is one of a guy who used to be a spiritual seeker, while the ego that Eckhart wears is one of a philosopher. So it is just easier for me to be guided by him than it is Tolle.

14.) NFL DRAFT: It is coming. I can sense it. I can feel it. I love the draft!

15.) Growth: I am so thankful for my growth. My ability to connect with people is better than it has ever been. My ability to love myself is greater than it has ever been. My ability to not believe my thoughts is easier than it has ever been. My connection to the source of who I am is deeper than it has ever been. My friendships are more meaningful and greater than they have ever been. It is just hard to not think how amazing life is.

16.) Dicks: Dicks drive in is so freaking good. I love their fries. I love their burgers. I love their shakes. Wow I have lot of food on this one.

17.) Good Beer: Looking forward to sharing some good beer with Kerry tomorrow. She doesn't know it but I bought two bottles of Laughing Buddha for us to share. HOORAY LAUGHING BUDDHA

18.) Sharing my happy list with my facebook friends: Everyone should read about my happiness. BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA

19.) Birthday Parties: Looking forward to party with Tim. GO TIM!

20.) Volunteering agian at the Beer Festival: I look forward to the good times, the free shirt and the free entry to a fun International Beer Festival. I had so much fun last year and being able to do it again is freaking AWESOME!! Way to go Beth with an awesome idea!!

Thinking of kicking it up a notch.

Thinking of doing this every 2nd and every 4th thursday of the month. Going to kick it up a notch. BAMN!!!!
