Day 6-Your Inner Smile

"MOST OF THE time I don't have very much fun, and the rest of the time I have no fun at all," quipped Woody Allen.  Sometimes life can get so manic, busy and demanding that you end up setting your sights on simply getting through the day rather than genuinely enjoying the day.  You run on autopilot.  You are reactive rather than creative.  You just get into a mode and life becomes a daily blur.  The heavy tiredness you feel in your body is a sure sign that there is a better way to live.

Be Happy Exercise:  Happiness studies show consistently that most people who score higher levels of happiness don't have markedly better life circumstances than lower scorers.  So why are they so happy?  Well, one reason is that they know how to enjoy their lives.  Today's assignment is to find your inner smile by reminding yourself of what energizes you, what you love and what inspires you.  Memo to Self:  Remember to enjooy the miracle of existence today.
