If you know me, then you know that I harbor HUGE respect for Angeline Jolie.
Obviously, I don't know her personally, however I can still LOVE her - especially for how she shows up in this world. One of my girlhood fantasies has always been that I would adopt children of many shades and hues while providing and giving comfort to as many people as I humanly can. God bless her for doing what I dream of! For "We Are the World" truly.
Ms. Jolie recently made headlines with an OpEd piece in the NY Times about how she had recently opted for a double masectomy. I applaud her courage and commitment to her family AND I want us to ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND that we can alter the course of our health and well-beeing right now. IT'S SIMPLE.
LITERALLY.
HOW TO BEE HAPPY NOW?
SIMPLIFY.
HOW TO FLOURISH IN YOUR HUMAN BODY
WITHOUT PAIN OR SUFFERING?
BEE.
HAPPY.
LIVE. SIMPLY.
HERE ARE A FEW SUGGESTIONS:
REDUCE YOUR DAILY INTAKE OF MEDIA -
Get off of Facebook. Put your iPhone away. Live without a television. Choose not to buy into any popular story (i.e. "News") that perpetuates a violent, negative and scarce-worldview. Only look to these sources and references when you can easily see it for what it is - a false reality.
DRIVE LESS - Carpool more, ride your bicycle & walk. Especially to the store and corner markets. The feeling of resourcefulness and true independence is MEDICINE. Commuting as a lone driver diminishes your life force. If you commute to work, ask to work less on site and more at home; ask for a transfer; or contemplate a new job altogether.
EXPAND YOUR FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE - How many friends do you have? I mean, really? Count them - now. By friends, I mean people with whom you can hold and bee held? People who you can hug and kiss regularly? If you only have a handful, then it is time to expand your Self. Which is easy.......
DANCE.
Rub up against others. Physically support someone. Laugh. Cry. Let it out. Bee non-rational and non-sensical. Act like a total dork. Give a care not for how you look. LOOK AS WEIRD AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. Flow. Release. Connect. Part. Twirl. Bee ether and allow the Universe to channel through you. YESsssssss there are communities for you in your neck of the world. Yes, there is a place where you can just bee. google search your town, nearest big city, with words like "Ecstatic Dance," "Contact Dance," "Dance Jam," "Dance Church," "5Rhythms" and more. Now, Go. You will bee grateful you did.
DIE HAPPY.
AND, DANCE RIGHT BACK INTO SOURCE.
