Happy Life Hypnosis

The time I spent in forest shade

Has opened to a wondrous glade

Where I, unfettered, unafraid

Embrace the life that’s given me,

Dancing so that all can see.

The future’s wide, and I am free!

Normal is a forest, too.

It’s also open, wide, and new—

Embrace the life that’s given you!

Then dance with me, throughout the day,

And join in songs, come out to play

In this new joyous, open way!

Someone I love recently mentioned that it’s hard to plan for the future now. That may be true, but we can still enjoy life the way it is, even when it’s completely different.

If you’re unsure, try this free, easy, fun game: every day for the next week, find five things that make you joyful. Share them with a friend on social media. They don’t have to be huge things. They can be tiny–such as how pretty bubbles look when you’re washing dishes by hand, or how wonderful it is to hear the voice of a loved one when you haven’t talked to them for a while.

As you practice finding and sharing things that bring you joy, it gets easier to embrace the new normal. I’d love to hear your experiences as you try this game. Personally, I love this game! It has made a huge difference in my life. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. If you begin to feel happy…even a little bit…YOU WIN!

Wishing everyone a happy weekend!
