Hello! Yes, I did take a few months off. I needed some time to reconnect with that part of me that feels the need to leave a stamp in the world. After a few months of living life, I recognized one important thing, it may sound obvious but, I discovered how my eyes are...

The only way I can get the right answer to an important question is by asking the right question. So, how can I frame this question? This scenario may sound a little extreme for the most important question I have. The reality is that, in order to achieve extreme...

The two most important days in my life are the reason why I choose to do what I'm doing today. Writing this reminder. Your two MOST important days in your life are: THE DAY YOU WERE BORN THE DAY YOU KNOW WHY YOU WERE BORN We all have a purpose in life, and most...

This week I will be aware of the energy I bring into all the places I'm in: work meetings, family dinners, library, bank, driving, and even on the phone. I will stop when I catch myself thinking, doing or saying something that's polluting the space I'm in. I will make...

Well said Major Rooney! Now, I'll give this the HappyouHappyme twist. 1. Create a list of things I need help with. Pick the most important one now. 2. Think of one person that's having [in some way] the same difficulty/problem. 3. Do one thing each day towards helping...

We are two weeks into 2016 already, and something hits... Am I doing this all over again? Reality hits when we realize something has to change, or when something has changed. Forget about the list of resolutions for a moment and pick One Thing that's going to make a...

"He who follows is always behind" ~ Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot Creating our lives based on our truest desires and without trying to look like -or follow-  anyone else, is a life worth living! This may have been the most difficult thing for me to do, but it seems like...

Stimulus [ space ] Response   We all have the power to choose between response and reaction, IF we open a space to observe ourselves. As human beings (unlike any other species in this planet) we have the capacity to observe what's happening to us, therefore we have...

Being out of bed, or having had a caffeine dose, doesn't really mean we are awake. It is when we decide to pay attention to the meaningful things in our day that we really awaken to what's around us! When we allow our kids' whining to be what it is (a need for love)...

Do or do not. There is no try. ~Yoda When you have decided and agreed to do something -> Do it When you disagree or are not 100% sure of doing something -> Don't do it Being whole means doing what we have agreed to do with our WHOLE heart.   Think about a recent time...

We all have someone in our lives that sparks that hidden jewel within us. A person that makes us feel challenged, but confident and motivated to do what we need to be doing. It could be someone as close to you as your friend or as distant as your junior high teacher....

What if you were told today that the End Goal of your life was to be in the body you are in, in the conditions you live in right now, with the people you're surrounded with. Would this change your approach to life? It seems like we (humans) spend most of our lives...

Our satisfaction doesn't really come from the choices we make, it comes from accepting the choices we make. In other words, being okay with where you are in your current situation and understanding that you're meant to be here, is your first step in moving towards...

It's the middle of the week, a good time to measure our level of happiness and do something about it before the weekend 😉 It's also the end of September, our Action month... How much action did you take towards shifting the attention from you to others around you?...

I'm always trying to find the next Big thing I want to blog about, the one that would have the most impact on the people that want to live a Happyou Happyme life. This morning, as I was getting ready to send this #Reminder, I noticed a small box (from the picture) I...

Happyou Happyme is all about experiencing happiness through the small things we do for others. This is a technique that has been studied by many scientists from many disciplines. Here's an article (I've highlighted the key paragraphs on page 2, 3 and 7) that describes...

When we are kids, the image we create of ourselves is mainly dictated by the feedback we receive from others. This can stick with us for a looong time; Until we understand how to unlock our true expression in the world. I would like to pass along this concept that...

Sometimes we let some people in our lives go unnoticed. Especially those who have brought us to where we are now. This week's #HYHMReminder is about recognizing all the things, small or big, that others do for us every day. I recently had the privilege of seeing my...

When I was a child, every night before going to bed, I'd close my eyes and imagined my life as a grown up: A beautiful home, with a loving husband and playful kids. I would even imagine our rushed mornings to get the kids to school and all the fun we had as a family....

"THANK YOU" Being thankful is not about saying "thank you". Being thankful is about living the enjoyment of having others be part of your life. When others notice that enjoyment, that gratitude around them, it adds value to their lives, and you're sure motivating them...

Whatever it is we feel we need (quality time with that special person, money, love, recognition, or simply peace) we will receive it as long as we're giving it. –This one has been one of the biggest lessons in life for me, because the moment I feel I'm needing...

"Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, and not our darkness, that frightens us." – Marianne Williamson We are all leaders, wether we realize it or not. And I feel this is so important to leading a Happy life that I want to share...

There is always an area in our lives where we feel we need more of anything. For me, I feel I don't have enough hours in the day to finish my Happyou Happyme website project, and I'd like to be at peace with the time I have available, now that my kids are in summer...

Have you been out of your mind lately? By getting out of our minds we can tap into that limitless source of energy and recharge. Only then, we can tirelessly help ourselves and those around us. These basic, yet powerful steps have helped me achieve it: 1. Sit quietly...

Did you know than more than 40% of your daily actions are habits? That leaves less room than I thought for decision making! I would like to encourage you to look at that habit that you'd like to implement in your life, or maybe that habit that you've been wanting to...

This has been a breakthrough week for me. I have discovered that I may know many tools and techniques for being and staying happy, but I don't always have the clarity to apply them "right away" in my own life. Sometimes it takes a friend or someone special to point it...

"A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people"  – Mahatma Gandhi How important is this! What you let in your heart is what creates the essence of your space, neighborhood, city and nation. Savor this over the week and be very clear on what...

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves" – Carl Jung One very important way to know yourself is through paying attention to what irritates you about those around you. (I know I have very little patience with people who...

We all have things that we're good at (strengths) and things that we are bad at (weaknesses). Why not focus on the things that we are good at and put them to work with others. Pick one of your strengths (what you're good at) and focus on using it with someone in your...

We all like to feel strong, don't we? Here's one thing, that normally gets overlooked, and can be the most important tool to feeling Strong: Vulnerability. We grow up thinking that being vulnerable is a sign of weakness, but in reality, vulnerability is the one tool...

I know of one tool that will help you get a grip of your thoughts and use them only when you need them. Sometimes we all need a break from thinking and a good night sleep may not do it for us. Is meditation for you? If you call yourself a meditator, then you know the...
