Wednesday Art: Happiness Is An Inside Job

Happiness, change and self-love are inside jobs.

My insides have brightly colored birds singing in funky trees which makes me very happy.

External forces can make happiness grow, but deep down I know the root of happy is in my own control.

What does your happiness manifest on the inside?

You can create an inner vision board to express your happiness. Is it a stroll on the beach, your favorite comedian making you laugh, or maybe it’s all those moments you felt like you were on top of the world? Make that vision your go-to spot when you’ve fallen down and are struggling to get back up.

There will always be moments of disappointment, anger and grief where feeling happy is out of reach, but I can tell you from my own depression and losses that happiness really is an inside job.

I was going to call it wartsday, but didn’t want to have people think I was celebrating wart day. Is there a wart day?  There probably should be. Anyway…. I drew these this week. I have been on a face-profile-crazy-hair kick for a while and am loving it.

I am mailing signed cards to fans on my Facebook page.

Art – Dreaming Portrait

I took an old pillowcase(I like to recycle) and stretched it across a new wooden frame.  Then I decorated it with ink gel pens. I call it ‘Dreaming’.

Enjoy.

My newest video- Word Art and Affirmations

Check out my newest video about my my book Word Art and Affirmations. I published this last year. It is a collection of word art from the past few years. I have set it to some nice classical music. This is a great chill out video that will also inspire and bring joy to you.

Words have the power to brighten or darken our moods and the moods of those around us.
In the case of people we interact with regularly, our words and actions impact their whole
lives.

Ask anyone who was teased in school or has been the topic of nasty gossip. Look at
women, men and children who are victims of domestic violence. Even society pressures us
and tells us we are not perfect and that we need to change who we are to be happy.
We are barraged with words that affect us negatively on a daily basis. It should be no
surprise that negative words affect our self esteem and change how we see ourselves. While
it is not always possible to ignore negative comments, we have the choice to not give any
power to the words that are meant to hurt us.

Start your day off with a positive affirmation and put positive, encouraging, complimentary
words in your mind. When you say your positive affirmation enough and take actions to
make your life better, your life and confidence will improve. The change will not be
immediate. You have to say the words enough so they become true to you.

We have a choice of what words to use. Become aware of the words you use when talking
to people and talking to yourself. Are you being positive or negative? Are you agreeing with
others when they put themselves or another person down? If you need to change how you
talk, start slow with a few positive comments each day. Think about when we meet people
that we want to impress. We are on our best behavior and say positive words to that person.
We can act this way around our partners, family and friends as well.

We simply must be aware and be open to change.
