The Happy Bug

"I don't gotta lot'a education, I don't gotta lot'a nothing,
but I gotta lot'a personality, it's the gift that God gave me, so I just like to use this gift to brighten up everybody's day"

Panda Ross

     It's so easy to lose track of trying to achieve the ultimate happiness. High stress work environments, drama in the family, co workers, financial issues, kids, trying to catch up with what we call life. It truly is an on going cycle, and despite how positive I want to be I find myself also becoming a victim of being the 'complainer'. Just recently while watching the 'x factor' I found one of the contestants very intriguing. 

She appears to me like the epitome of happiness, with a soulful voice so soothing it makes you forget the troubles surrounding you. She is positive with a boisterous laughter so contagious that it makes me feel almost ashamed to be stressed about amendable situations, and or minor things that don't require being stressed about. 

Negative influences, complainers, from verbal to minor body language can really affect your day, from how your day begins to how it ends. Continuing this will only damper other people's happiness. We need the happiness reminder from time to time, and for me it was this one woman. Watch this video and hopefully it will remind you to be happy and live the simple life. Surround yourself by positive influences trust me it will make a whole world of difference. 

Make sure you guys shut off the music to the right to listen to the video! Cheers!

::too this too that?::

The world can be a cruel place, and everyone on this earth is subject to judgement. Whether we choose to listen to it is one's personal choice. It is difficult though isn't it? One may say "i don't give a rat's tootie about it", yet it probably dwells in the mind subconsciously. It's something I like to call constructive criticism. If someone states that you are too short, too fat, too this or too that it is an enforcer to make me do better in life. Rather then backlash at a person, recognize your positive qualities and enhance them to maximum potential. Only through this may it be considered success. Those who criticize others most likely have a low self esteem and have nothing better to do with their time. So don't allow yourself to be a prisoner to judgement, though it may be easier said then done. However wallowing in self pity only furthers frustration and unhappiness, and who in this world wants to live like that? Improve on qualities that need to be improved, afterall they don't call it "constructive" without reason. It is to rebuild ourselves to become the best human possible, or so I believe. So, don't lose sight of yourself as a result of negative comments, it is your life, your mind, body, and soul. Who can critique it better then you?

::Breath & Balance::

I am absolutely obsessed in living a life of balance. Although it is not always easy it is a concept I live by. When one says "everything in moderation" that goes for everything in life. From foods, to health, and the way you live. To indulge sometimes is okay, but to do it often is uncessary. For example, eating foods is good, but to over eat when you are full is more then what your body needs. To excercise is great, but to excercise without allowing your body to rest and recover will cause injury. Physiologically, rest and decreasing stress is healthy. However, sometimes you need that extra burst of cortisol as an energy booster, and to heighten our memory functioning. Like yin and yang, you cannot run one without the other. Sometimes, life's happenings are out of our control, but consider what you can do to change to the situation and what will make you most happy. Just doing yoga itself does not mean you are balanced, it is a method to help find balance in one's life. Everyone defines balance differently, but the reality is ::happiness is the key:: try to live the best life you can and find your sense of balance::
