1. Be comfortable in your own skin. The first step to becoming happy is to feel comfortable with who you are. If you are not comfortable in your own skin, this becomes your biggest concern that stays on the top of your mind everyday, it kills your self-esteem. You have to remember no one is perfect. You have to accept yourself for who you are and love yourself. This is the first step to becoming happy with yourself.
2. Sleep is overrated. Being a mom I am always on call. There are some night I am able to get my much needed rest and there are some night I am need all night. I also saw this during the holiday. We didn't have many night that we where home before 10pm with parties and holiday gathering. and I tell myself this is to much we are all tired. But I look back and I wouldn't want it any other way. I would much rather be busy and live in the moment, than bored.
3. Live in the moment. When you live in the moment you just feel happy. Why wouldn't you? You don't worry about the future, neither do you feel sad about the past. We need to take every hour as it comes and do what you feel is right. Life is always moving so we can only live in the moment and do our best.

The two statements I'm working on this year are: "Learn to say no" and "Stop feeling guilty for the things that bring you joy." We're exactly 1 week into the new year and I'm already allowing myself to feel overwhelmed by things other people think I should be doing with my life. I need to stop. I've also read 4 trashy novels so far this year and I'm not even going to feel bad about it! I need my cheesy reading materials! :)
