The Last 14 days

I love this time of the year because it’s a great time to reflect on what’s happened the last 12 months and see if you’ve ended the year with more happy experiences. I’d like for you to focus on all the good things, the amazing miracles and the life-changing moments that left you feeling grateful for every moment.

Then I’d love for you to answer the following questions (Below are my answers):

What were your proudest moments?

Finishing my first 5k in November.

What seemingly impossible odds did you overcome?

Running over 100 miles this summer.

Whose life did you touch in a positive way?

Several clients who were struggling with difficult decisions. I helped them tap into their Internal Navigation System and do what felt right for them no matter what others thought or said.

List a few memories you’ll cherish a lifetime.

1. Crossing the finish line in my first race. 
2. Watching the Super Bowl outside in 82 degree weather in Sunny Florida.
3. Sharing my 50th birthday with my family and friends.

What lessons did you learn and who did you share this new found knowledge with?

1. My feeling determine what I attract in my life.
2. I get to choose who I invite into my life.
3. Love is always right here whenever I choose to see and feel it.
4. There’s a reason I let go of past relationships.
5. I can only control Sheryl and when I mind my own business I’m much happier.

I shared this knowledge with all the wonderful people who read my weekly blog and are my R U Happe Life Coaching, LLC Facebook page.

What gifts and talents did you share with the world?

1. Every week I write a blog and newsletter that helps people live happy lives.
2. Presented two workshops to an amazing group of Snowball students at local high schools.
3. Spoke to a local group of teachers on how to become a Happe Teacher and gave several stress reduction techniques.
4. Talked to a group of mothers on the change cycle and how knowing what to expect helps you successfully navigate through any change life throws your way.
5. Created several new programs to help my clients live happier lives.

List the times you fell completely in love with a person, a place, and an activity.

I fell completely in love with three new babies born into my family this year. Each one of them holds the hope and promise of living life the way it should be lived – happy and carefree and I look forward to seeing them all grow up and help make this world a better place. Fell madly in love with Curacao, an island in the southern Carribbean Sea. I fell in love with running and ran more than I’d ever thought possible.

Who did you forgive and how did that whole experience feel?

I forgave myself for thinking my ex-husband should be and do something different. Releasing all expectations and thoughts about what I think he “should” do left me free to parent my kids in a loving, non-judgmental way. It also helped me see that my way of thinking make me incredibly unhappy and once I chose to think differently I felt at peace with a lot of things.

This is how a happe life should be lived.

If you didn’t experience any of these things I urge you to look a little deeper.

Surely there was a time you achieved a goal and wished your arms were long enough to pat yourself on the back. I’m sure there was an instance when you whispered a silent, “Good job.”

I think we often loose track of all the good we do in the world and belittle our accomplishments. You may think it has to be something really big for it to count.

It doesn’t.

So take a few minutes this week to write down all the things you’ve done that have made you happy.

Then I encourage you to celebrate these accomplishments and do more of them.

When reflecting on the past it’s a good idea to start with the positive and then figure out how you can do, be and have more of that happiness in your everyday life.

I know I’ve experienced everything on this list. (see above for answers)

Doing this kind of an end-of-the-year assessment helps you see all the things you’ve done right because we’re so used to focusing on the exact opposite.

I’d also love for you to share your answers on my website so that we can celebrate all the collective happe things we’ve done and the incredible difference we’ve all made in our lives and the world.

Until next week,

Sheryl
