How to Be Happy In Life

I love my Work and Life Balance subscribers... they are wonderful people.
(If you're not already subscribed, go to http://www.life-balance-success.com/freebalancetips.html ). I hear from many of these readers, who write either to compliment me, comment on something I've written, share about their lives or to ask me questions.

I am humbled beyond belief to hear from them... and amazed to think that they believe I may know the answers for their lives.

One of my subscribers just wrote me, expressing how much worry he carries about aspects of his life, his job, his relationship and the security of his future. His request of me was to answer his question, "Please tell me how to be happy in life."


Goodness! Here's what I said to him, and now you...


... Carolyn's profoundly simple answer on how to be happy in life...


"How I wish I had the magical answer to your life… and how I wish I had it for my own life, too!


Your language gives clues that you are living in the past and in fear of the future… so much so that you are undermining today. The most profound tip that I can offer you (that I am doing my best to practice myself) is to live in this very NOW moment.

This means working diligently to let those worrisome thoughts and feelings go (like in the messages I’ve already sent you) and be here and now in this moment. Yesterday is in the past and tomorrow will always be "out there" ahead in time. NOW is the only moment there really is... and it's usually a pretty decent place to hang out, when noticed.

How to come into the NOW?

• Meditation helps


• Yoga helps
  
• Physical fitness helps
  
• Releasing fears and focussing on joy helps


• Focus on the good!!!


• See the beauty surrounding you.

This is the best wisdom I can offer you… how you will use it is up to you.

Personally, I hope you choose happiness!"

P.S. Pick up a copy of the incredible book, "The Power of NOW" by Eckhard Tolle... it will definitely help!

Warmly, Carolyn

The Power of This Moment

Welcome!

There are many "messengers" around us these days that are emphasizing the importance of living in this moment, rather than expending all of our energy needlessly worrying about the past, and living in fear of the future.


Recent great messengers include the amazing movie, "The Secret" ... which you've heard me talk about already and Eckhart Tolle's "Power Of Now" book and audio programs, which re-enforce a similar mindset.

The message? Simply put...

Be of this very moment.

Let the past go, for the past is now past.

Let go of anticipating the future, for it will always be in the future.

Instead, come present within and experience the richness and aliveness of this very moment.

From this still place of aliveness in the moment, we face unlimited opportunities to make new choices, experience with new awareness and relate in new depths.

I loved the quote that came into my email inbox this morning and thought I'd share it with you.

Have a read...

“It’s not yesterday’s regrets, nor tomorrow’s challenges that matter–only the infinite possibility of today.” Quote by Linda Knight

When we reside in presence we are truly alive, rather than just going through the motions of life. We suddenly have access to and are able to harness a creative power to create that which we put our mind and heart into. That is the power of this moment.

Personally, I find that becoming aware of my breathing and using it consciously is my "becoming present" tool. When I'm all stressed out, it is inevitably my breath that serves to remind me that I can quieten myself inside, let the fussing around of life fall away... and be at present peace within myself again.

I urge you to experiment for yourself. By the way, our new eBook, "Becoming the BEST YOU Possible" offers numerous "centering" tools to help you with this very issue.

Being present is a present we can choose to gift ourselves with.

Warmly, Carolyn
