Happify Your Soul






I have been doing A LOT of "soul work" lately! 

You all know I have been having some pretty serious internal struggles in the past year. This third pregnancy has been REALLY hard on my physically and emotionally. So in turn I have been doing a lot of soul searching and a lot of what I like to call "soul work." 

For me to be a normal healthy, happy, well adjusted person (well I might never be well adjusted but humor me) I have to REALLY work at it daily!!!!!

I read daily devotionals, I keep gratitude journals, I pray, I meditate(or try to.) I am constantly in communication with my emotional brain trying to mold it and steer it to where I want it to go ( happy, relaxed, loving places)  instead of where it wants to take me (scary, anxiety ridden, weak places).




Until I reached "real" adulthood, which for me really wasn't until I was about 29 or 30, I was just lolly gagging along in life living day by day not really having a real thought about my actions or what my consequences might be 10 years down the line. 

Don't get me wrong, I have always been very smart and done very well in life. I graduated from nursing school with honors. I was always a straight "A" student and have held many management positions and often 2 jobs at a time.  I am very street smart and have a lot of common sense but the emotional side of me has always been a bit lacking and for many years I neglected it. I would just pacify myself with whatever I could to get onto the next, whatever the next was, never really having any true peace.

So right before we decided to start having children I kinda started to wake up and realize that if you want your life to be a full life and be free from emotional baggage there is a lot of work to be done around that. At least for people like me there is. 



35 WEEKS

So, I am really excited to introduce you to a place that is completely designed around this purpose. It is a place that is solely directed at how we can make ourselves more happy on a daily basis. It is a HUGE tool to help us and guide us into our happiest selves! 

#1 MISSION=HAPPINESS!!!!!!

I L*O*V*E this!

Let me introduce you to HAPPIFY!!!!

I was asked to be one of their site's pioneers!!!! I was so honored and honestly have really, really enjoyed my experience there so far. 

I love Happify because it takes all those individual things I would be doing to better myself as a person anyway and organizes them all into one place, reminds me if I am slipping, and keeps me focused.
 It's kind of a life saver really.

Plus you get to upload photos of your "happy" and "grateful" moments to go along with what you share just like Pinterest or Facebook but I assure you, there are ONLY happy, beautiful things to be seen there. 

Also, it's all based on science. If you'd like to read a little bit of why it works find it {HERE}.

Headband:{Lemons and Lace}
Dress: Gap
Sweater: JCrew
Boots: Ugg
I would love to invite you all to join me! 

 We can encourage each other on a daily basis to be grateful, happy and to get more fulfilment out of our lives. 

It will ask you to initially log in with facebook but it has nothing to do with facebook and none of your activity will ever be seen on facebook. Everything is done through Beta!

I hope you will Join me {HERE}.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO KEEP YOUR SOUL HAPPY????

I'D LOVE TO KNOW!!!!!!
