25 Ways To Put The "Happy" in Happy New Year

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!" As the "En-lighten-up-ment" Organizer Coach, I am resolving to make 2008 the happiest year ever. I plan to continue incorporating all of my practices into my life and becoming even more comfortable with them. It takes twenty one days to establish a new behavior. Once the new pattern is in place it becomes natural and effortless.

These are my top twenty-five suggestions to put the "happy" in 2008:

Keep a gratitude list or journal
Change yourself first
Set an intention each morning for how you want to be
Be generous and courteous in traffic
Let go of "having to know" and remain open and curious
End each day prepared for the next day
Respect the different organizing personalities of those around you
Let go of anything—physical or mental—that makes you feel heavy
Laugh at your worries!
Say "no"
Volunteer your time and talent to a worthy cause
Face your fears!
Use prayer and meditation for spiritual balance
Take care of your body—exercise and keep it alkaline with the right food
Drink alcohol in moderation—alcohol is a depressant
Ask for help—get support
Complete the incomplete
Practice self-acceptance
Let go of resentments
Practice forgiveness
Hang out with fun, energizing, like-minded people
Reduce or eliminate watching TV—especially news programs
Take a risk and learn something new and fun
Keep a victory log
Look for the good in everything

I'll bring closer focus to these practices over the coming weeks. They are all equal in value. Practice all of them or some of them. At any rate, make 2008 the happiest year ever by setting your intentions now!
