5 Tips for a Happy Life from Winnie the Pooh

winnie the pooh quote

“Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?”

“Well,” said Pooh, “what I like best — ” and then he had to stop and think. Because although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called.”

Winnie the Pooh is a kind bear. He cares greatly about his friends.

And he has always seemed like a pretty happy bear to me.

 

He’s also a favorite of mine so today I’d like to simply share 5 of my favorite happiness tips from that honey loving bear.

1. Don’t get bogged down in details.

“You can’t help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn’t spell it right; but spelling isn’t everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn’t cou...

The Sun in Your Heart

Take time to go out into the sunshine every day. And if you cannot go out, then be the sunshine yourself. Brighten your surroundings with your own light. Turn the light switch on. Where is your light switch? What turns you on?
 
It could be the moon and the stars and love in your heart.
 
It could be someone’s voice. It could be your child. It could be your mother and father. It could be a stranger’s face or the way someone walks in the street. It could be anyone or anything.
 
Consider yourself like a tossed salad, and toss yourself. Look at the beautiful colors you host. Look at beautiful you. You are a combo. I would order you any day, every day. I do. I see you. I talk to you. I sit in quiet with you. I love you. I loved you the first day I saw you. I saw you in My mind before you were born, before you were conceived. Yes, you are My child. I anticipated you before I created you. What a wonder am I Who Creates, and what a wonder are you, My Created. And what a wonder is everything I create. Tell Me, what one thing do I create that is not a wonder? Who besides Me could create a stone or a mountain or an ant or an elephant? Who could even think of them let alone bring them into existence? Who else but I could even imagine a human being and plop him onto Earth?

7 Ways To Not Let Fear And Anxiety Ruin Your Day

afraid-woman

It doesn’t matter what name you use– fear, worry or anxiety it all means the same thing; you’re scared! The important question though is of what? Whether fear blind sides or creeps up it has the power to leave us all frozen in its wake at times and the capacity to completely ruin your day, week, month or even your year!

It’s essential therefore to take the fear out of fear… Learn to see it not as something to be scared of, but something that has a purpose and can be used for your benefit.

 

Firstly we have to understand why we feel anxious, terrified, panicked or concerned and acknowledge if the fear is in our head, clouding our perspective, or if our feelings are actually towards a real threat in our environment, so we can use this information and act on it.

Then we will no longer be slaves to fear, but masters of its purpose!

FEAR – APPROPRIAT...

Birth is just like death, but the suffering is worth taking. Out of the darkness of suffering a new morning arises, a new sun arises. And the dawn is not very far when you feel darkness too much. When suffering is unbearable, bliss is very near. So don't try to escape from suffering -- that is the point where you can miss. Don't try to avoid it, pass through it. Don't try to find some way which goes round about- no, that won't do- pass through it. Suffering will burn you, destroy you, but really you cannot be destroyed. All that can be destroyed is just the rubbish that you have gathered. All that can be destroyed is something that is not you. When it is all destroyed, then you will feel that you are indestructible, you are deathless. Passing through death, consciously passing through death, one becomes aware of life eternal.

Gratitude – The Key That Opens the Gateway to Abundance

Randi G. Fine, Contributor
Waking Times

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” ~ Melody Beattie

Who wouldn’t want to find the key to living a better life? It does not take money or tremendous effort to accomplish that goal. The truth is that attracting abundance to our lives is much simpler than we think. It is all based on t...

5 Signs We Are Ready for a Paradigm Shift

Well because everyone is talking about it of course!

If you consider yourself “awakened” and aware of what’s really happening on the planet, you’re ready for a major change. Who doesn’t want to shift from this negatively charged way of living?

We are thrusted into a life where we’re told to act within the existing limits of normality. Don’t question authority, live within the two gender models, pay for your education to work a unsatisfactory job, don’t freak out about the fact we are so disconnected from the earth, and from each other.

Coming together and talking about the issues is the first step in manifesting the solution – but we need to act on our ideas. This shift doesn’t come from just writing articles like this then continuing on in life. It comes from creating spaces around the world people can gather to live off grid and from the earth, like we’re suppose to...

The writing is on the wall for humanity it seems. Unchecked growth, population expansion, unsustainable practices and complete abuse of our environment could be what does us in; or at least according to a new study by researchers from the University of Maryland and University of Minnesota.

It’s happened to countless civilizations before us. The Roman empire, the Han, Gupta, and Mauryan empires too. Researchers warn of the potential for utter destruction of our global economy if we continue working with the same systems ...

So Where Are We Now?

It only gets weirder by the day. As the engineered ebola scare rolls out and ISIS supposedly closes in, the US and NATO are slipping into Syria as if no one is looking. Meanwhile, insane Israel is openly planning another Gaza massacre while the Ukrainian genocide continues.  If that’s not enough, the economy is on the verge of collapsing, our food, air and water continue to be poisoned, our oceans and atmosphere are dying, communities are being fracked, and Fukushima continues to erupt while the massive Yellowstone caldera threatens to.

Talk about engineered overload!

Most people’s heads are spinning wildly and they’re trying to not think about this assault on their minds, hearts and senses. This is just the environment the manipulators want – an overloaded, stunned and compliant populace, ready to be swayed like limp seaweed in the tide of their polluted propaganda...

Daily Message ~ Tuesday October 14, 2014

Acceptance is an essential practice that allows you to receive the many gifts the universe has for you. You can practice manifestation techniques and visualization brilliantly, but the final, most important step, is to be in open state of acceptance so the universe can deliver to you. So many of you are only comfortable when you are giving! Such tender and loving souls you are, but we urge you to practice receiving, too. To do so is to allow the universe to work through others, and to let them experience the joy of giving, as well. ~Archangel Gabriel

2 Steps to Turn on Your Intuition

by Lisa K

intuition_OMTimes
...The more you use your intuition the better it becomes, and you’ll find your intuition messages will begin to have more detail and accuracy. A common problem is that you may be so used to using logic and the thinking part of your brain, you may forget to use the intuitive side of your brain. The fun part is, if you remember to use your intuition, particularly things that aren’t too important, when it works it’s really cool! You will then begin to build confidence in using your intuition on bigger more important things. Practice being intuitive all the time and you will create an intuitive life.

Here is how. Initially, the first easy step is to notice your intuitive nudges even when you are doing mundane things, like the laundry.

For example, the other day it ...

10 Food Facts That May Surprise You

Karen Foster, Prevent Disease

From the color of foods to their fat content and nutritional value, there are facts about what we consume, their origin and manufacture which is not common knowledge and rarely promoted as truth. Here are 10 food facts that still surprise the majority.

1. Orange Tomatoes May Be Healthier Than Red Ones

Usually, deep color in fruits and vegetables indicates abundant antioxidants – compounds that have been linked to heart and brain health – so it makes sense to consume produce with the deepest hues. But a study by Ohio State University researchers, published in the Journal of Agricultural Food and Chemistry, found that a variety of orange-colored toma...

Big Win! Monsanto Reports $156 Million Loss in Q4 as Farmers Abandon GM Crops

Christina Sarich, Natural Society
Waking Times

Are you invested in Monsanto stock like Bill Gates, who owns hundreds of thousand of Monsanto shares worth about $23 million? It might be time to pull out since the company just reported over $156 million in losses for the fourth quarter.

It’s a tough time for biotech, and thank goodness. Monsanto’s losses were attributed to farmers in major agricultural zones favoring soy over GMO corn because of falling crop prices – largely caused by Syngenta’s release of MIR162 corn, which has been completely refused by Chinese officials repeatedly – which have depressed both local and foreign corn bushel prices...
