Daily talking to myself prior to creating self discipline in my life:
Every morning.... I will do some yoga today (or I WILL GET ON MY MAT) I'm going to meditate today I'm going to drink more water today I'm going to create a way to make money at home today You get the picture, right? Every night... Most goals I set for the day that had to do with ME and MY development/creativity where passed by due to OTHER things I felt where more important at the moment. BAM, the day is over. Every morning, it starts over. What does this pattern create? Disappointment Anger Resentment Depression Lack of self worth You get the picture, right? Now Create a DISCIPLINE ROUTINE for your daily life Examine and change your attitude about priorities Examine and change your attitude/routine around how you spend your time Can you delegate? How much TV/internet do you spend time on? In other words find time wit in your routine by dissecting what you do in your day. GET A NOTEBOOK AND USE IT, ALL DAY EVERYDAY For me this is the biggest part, it creates a partner in your self care to always check back with. Before you get up, write in it. What you absolutely want to do for yourself that day. Make a box and check it when you do it. How do I make time, if I feel I do not have any? Start with 2 minutes. Even if it is in the bathroom at work (I have done this.) Keep writing, noting, confirming you did it and planning the next sweet moment. Little by little you will notice a change. The creation of discipline in doing for yourself is the best gift that you can do for YOU. Results: I get in bed at night and feel satisfied that I did what I intended. I wake up in the morning knowing it is possible to full fill my promises and desires to/for myself. For me, self discipline results in: Peace Increased self worth Increased production of work at home Increased satisfaction with my physical form I feel more relaxed Hormones more balanced Stress does not effect me as much I have tools to prevent increased stress and have the discipline to use them You get the picture! Give any part of this a whirl and you will create a change. Plug in your own wants and desires. Make a list. If you are one of those people who don't dare to dream big for YOURSELF, its time to start. Start with me! With so much love, Christina

How can I be happy?
My old answer was: more abundance of any and everything. (stuff, love, people, food, peace, time, money, ect) Present day answer: be happy if there was only you with no stuff. How do I get happy? Notice how you feel when you wake up in the morning and make quick note about it. Then Start talking to yourself about what you are grateful for. Be grateful for your ceiling if that's all you can think of. Then make love to those thoughts like you have not made love for 5 years. Feel that love for what you have until your mood changes. (I promise it will if you love it with abandon) Then start your day. If your day goes to shit and makes you feel the same, find something else your grateful for and start over again. Do this everyday and you will notice a change. Be in command of your mood. Just to be clear, allow your other emotions to be felt but realize you can find your happiness when YOU decide. As you get the hang of it, you will get glimpses of extra happy feelings, moments of "I am at Peace." When that happens. When your heart is extra light. Stop what your doing for a couple breaths and feel it. Remember it. Roll around in it. Love it like its the best thing in the world, it's all yours. You found it! How do I stay happy? Remember to PRACTICE everyday. Peace Side note: I am sharing my journey and what works for me. Take what you want and leave the rest.
I found this great video by Wim Hoff, he seems to have found a nugget of truth about finding and maintaining true health. The part I use about his philosophy is breath work. Why I have a breathing practice everyday: Improve focus Increase PH with in my body to maintain health and repel disease Increase energy Increase oxygen within my body Maintain a discipline Release stress Improve my meditation practice that I do right after What is special about this practice for me? It is a powerful practice that leaves you tingling It is very active Some clues to make it the best experience possible Start your breath inhaling through your nose from your belly, move to chest and up to your mind then exhale out of your mouth. When you are done with the breaths and he has you hold your breath on the exhale, pay close attention to how your body feels. I enjoy that feeling very much. My experience is my head hums, my body tingles, as I hold my breath it allows me to be acutely aware of how I feel. I usually yawn alot, which is a good sign I am letting go of stress.
