You can try to find it.  Some people search endlessly for that perfect thing, or person that will fix everything and will bring the beauty, the joy and the ‘fabulous’ into their lives.  The whole knight in shining armour idea.  Once they find it, life will be wonderful.  Until then, gosh…well it’s sad what you’re missing with a ‘until then’ attitude.

You can keep on searching for lifetime really and who knows you might even find some bits and pieces of things that work for a time. 

Want a simpler, faster and more authentic way to have a beautiful life?  One that lasts?

Be the beauty in your own life.   Create what you need and want.  Make the best from what you have and be grateful.

Look at it this way.  If you have to go out and buy gloves to scrub toilets with…why not buy gloves that are a pretty colour?  I pin my hair up when doing chores and I often use a really pretty clip to do it.  My Dad used to put on his favorite music nice and loud when he was doing things around the house or turning the garden over in the spring.  He made not of had a fun chore to do, but he found a way to make it more enjoyable.

Not everything in life is super fun but it doesn’t have to be super horrible either.  There is always a way to make it less crappy, even if it’s only a little.  It’s all about how you approach things.  Yup, I’m talking mindset and what we choose to do with it.

You can start by looking for places to insert your own brand of fun, or joy as I talked about above. 

More than that, you can being to look around and notice all the amazing stuff that already surrounds you.

It’s raining?  Listen to the rhythmic beat of the rain on the roof, the shape of the clouds reflected in the puddles, the smell of the fresh world.  The array of umbrellas walking by can be quite beautiful if you step back and appreciate it.  Appreciate the gifts that the rain will help provide after it ends.  Rainbows, puddles to jump in, clean walkways, birds playing and bathing in the water…So much to enjoy.

Or you know…bitch and moan because it’s not a perfectly beautiful day.  You can do that too I suppose. 

But I have to ask you, which mindset is going to serve you better?  Choose!

I know you know that your attitude makes a big difference in what you create in your life.  You do right?  Because it really, really does.

It’s all about focus, perception and choice.  This holiday season is quickly showing up and with it many people start feeling the strain.  There are ways to deal with the stress after the fact…let’s face it stuff happens.  But did you realize that you can help diminish the stress you have show up in the first place?

Yes, I  know the vacation without family would reduce the stress, but you love you family don’t you?  (For the record I consider anyone you WANT to make memories with family–blood lines or not).  That doesn’t mean you won’t be driven crazy by them and that for some members of your family it’s a really short ride! 

Your attitude, your expectations and the choices you  make before you even set foot in the celebrations can create an atmosphere that allows you to enjoy and let go. Change from having an attitude of disaster and focus on problems that may arise to one of humor and gratitude. You’ll be amazed how much less stress you will ‘find’ when you are not looking for it, and how much joy you are surrounded by when you take the time to see it.

Check out my video for more one that.  Yup…my first video just for you!
