Be good to yourself

  We all want to live happily, sometimes, we are just too mean to ourselves. We don't allow ourselves make mistakes, we want everything perfect, then it's very hard for us to live happily. Actually, we really need to be good to ourselves.

  It's often easier to be compassionate toward someone else than it is to be compassionate toward ourselves. We must treat ourselves better,say something good to ourselves, give ourselves some award. It's okay if we too are imperfect. So if we make a mistake, it's ok.

  

  Just be good to yourself,inside and outside.

  Inside, we should remind ourselves that we should be good to ourselves, we should accept mistakes we make, we should have a good attitude, be confident, then we don't need to be too worried about everything, we should have the idea that no one is perfect, we are  humans. 

  Outside, just be confident, be positive. Always think about something good, We should know that we are not bad. We deserve something good. Always give ourselves some award. Have a happy life.

  Be good to yourself. Be happy.

Sunday, music...

  I like music all the time. When I feel down, I will listen to music. My favorite singer is Stefanie Sun, I like her for 11 years. My things in my life changed these years, I still love her. Her song always gives me hope and power. Even now, I still have the habit that I will listen to her music every Sunday, I won't do other important things. Just give myself a cup of coffee, lie in the coach, listen to the music. Then I feel happy from my inner world.

  I really suggest you doing this, it really helps me in my daily life. It makes me happy. Lying in the bed, having a cup of coffee, thinking about life while listening to the music. It's so special, you will feel something new. When I feel down, the music makes me cheerful, I give my heart a rest then move on. When I feel happy, the music makes me calm down, I just smile to myself and live happily. 

  I can learn from my Sunday music, I know how to love others and be loved, I know how to handle the relationship with others, I know how to deal with my own feelings, I know how to be positive all the time, I know a lot of things from Stefanie's songs, it gives me strength, give me direction to move on. I really appreciate it.

  It's really a good way for us to live a happy life. You don't need to listen to Sun's music. Just find a singer you like. Try like this, you will learn many things from your Sunday music. Be happy!

Always have a dream

  We all need power to live better, we need some push. It's good for us to have a dream, then we can have hope and we can be more positive, and fight for the dream. Then life is not boring anymore. Just remember that always have a dream in heart. Live a happy life.

  Follow our heart, never surrender our dreams. Everyday, we work constantly for our goals, that's a really happy thing. Everyday, we move a little bit, we improve ourselves, then we can feel the real happy from our inner world.

We have something to depend on, that's great.

  Believe in ourselves. There's no reason for us to deny ourselves, We can live a better life. We can give ourselves a chance to experience, to have more fun.

  Take time to enjoy life’s pleasures. We must have a rest when we go out and just give ourselves some time to gain more, to learn more, to understand the meaning of life.

  Make your own decisions. We need to make good decisions for our dream, If we can do it well, then we can keep catching up with our dreams. We need to look out for ourselves,and always share with others. When we catch up with our dreams, it's good for us to have someone else around us.

  We should always hope for the best, have a sweet dream in heart. Live our life for ourselves. Believe in tomorrow, for it holds the key to our dreams.

                   

  Always have dream in heart. Just be happy.

Always be prepared...

  We should always be prepared for everything, then we won't be worried about ourselves and we can handle everything. We won't get lost, that a good way for us to improve ourselves. We can gain more confidence and we will feel happy from the inner world.

  Be prepared when the unexpected happens, both bad things and good things.When the unexpected happens, most of us were unprepared, the problem may be getting far from our thoughts because we have not taken a simple preventative action. 

  We all like the feeling that we can control everything, when we know things advanced, we will tell ourselves that it is easy, we don't have to worry about it. We just need to do things step by step. That's a good behavior for us. And we can always have a good result with this thought. Because we know everything, it is not so hard.

  Be prepared for everything, then you will know where you need to improve, where is perfect, we can do the job follow our heart. Always be prepared, it's not so easy for us. We didn't have this behavior before, so we need to remind ourselves this. We don't like change, so even we know that it's good, we won't do it, however, we must have a try, everyday make a small change. We can see the results one day.

  Always be prepared. Be happy.

Be confident!

  Sometimes  I did't believe I could do most of the things I wanted to do, however when I believe in myself, and have a try, I can do it well, then I realize that I can do it. Only when we believe in ourselves, others believe in us. It's an honor when everyone trusts us.

  Regardless of what mistakes we have made. Just believe that we can do it, believe it in our heart, then we can reach our potential. We can be truly happy.

  We should recognize our talents and good qualities. No matter how down we feel, remember the things we are good at. Focusing on our better qualities will distract us from bad feelings. If we are really at a high level of confidence, we can make everything possible.

  Remember that everyone struggles with confidence. Some people are good at hiding it, but every person has struggled with self-confidence sometime. We are not alone. We can not worse than others, so be confident.

  Take care of ourselves. Dress for confidence.Smile and make eye contact. Embrace our interests, learn something that we are interested.Take up a hobby we can do with a group. Just improve ourselves in different ways.

  Confidence is a process, not a singular achievement. The process won't always move forward, there will be days when we feel like we feel bad. Take a deep breath, remember to be confident, we are ready to move on. Just be confident. Be happy!

Have a rest!

  Sometimes we just push ourselves move on, we don't give ourselves time to have a good rest, we feel so tired all the time. We should remind ourselves having proper rest during long working hours.

  Nowadays, people all has stress and long working hours, that mean people in busy jobs get too little sleep during the week. Then say no to overworking is very important to each of us. Not be lazy but leave some limited time to keep our body and heart healthy.

  Say no to heavy works is not unrealistic, we should have a good rest when we can. Longtime of working will make us sick and have a bad mood. And long time of lacking sleep will make us lack of concentration and even lead big mistake in our job.

  Many of us need a time reminder to help us manage our time healthy and rational. It can remind us of resting on time. For your healthy, just have a good rest.

  Have a good rest, be energetic, be happy...

Try something new...

Try something new, have a good life.

  Sometimes we didn't want to try it. We were nervous. We were afraid. We either faced our fear or we decided not to try it. Most of us have been in this situation at some point of time, we were afraid to try the new thing. We were fearful of the outcome and mistake in our life.

  We make up excuses for ourselves: we don’t have time, we’re taking hard courses this semester. If something isn't  enhancing our social life, it may seem wasteful — even if it’s something we’re really interested in trying out. We all know it is not good for us.

  Variety and new experiences keep us young. Map out what we have accomplished, what we want to accomplish and what we kind of just feel like doing.

  Try Something New – start from within. Whatever circumstance we find ourselves in today that we are not happy or satisfied with, we can change. Just make the choice and try something new.

Any day we wish, 

we can discipline ourselves to change it all.

we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge.

we can start a new activity. 

we can start the process of life change. 

we can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.

  The decision is ours. Just remember that everyday we do not change is another day we kill the person we could become. Time does not change things. We do. We are all we can be. Go on and be it. Just try something new now, be happy.

Take risks...

  When we were young, we didn't even understand the meaning of risk. We just did ,we ate paint chips off the wall, we stuck our fingers wherever we wanted to, but as time passed and we grew older, we were taught the notion of risk by others around us. Soon enough, we stopped risking. We stayed confined within the box that was drawn around us by others and we accepted it.

  What happened? On the one hand, when we were young, we just did without thinking of the consequences. On the other hand, when we got older, we stopped doing because we started thinking of the consequences. We don't have passion any more. Then we won't feel happy.

  Why do we hesitate to take risks? How can we get back that trait of boldness we had as a child? It’s actually very simple.

1. Stop thinking of risk as just a one shot do or die situation.Instead, start thinking of risk as a journey of exploration. It’s not just about one shot. It’s about a journey, a journey we choose to embark on for the purpose of exploring a different path. Then we become more active to take action, we gain more fun, we would be surprised.

2. Don’t focus on consequences. If we find ourselves exploring in work, we'll find ourselves exploring in our social life, our personal life. As we keep on doing this, we realize the fact that there is no box drawn around us and that it was all in our head the entire time.

3. Be positive. When we begin to take little risks of exploration, we make ourselves bold enough to take those big risks that appear to be like  die situations from the outside, but we will smile on the inside because we know we can do it.

  When we take more risks, we'll find that we gain freedom, we have everything. Just take risks. Just be happy.

Make mistakes

  We are always afraid of making mistakes, we want everything to be perfect. Actually, instead of fearing mistakes, we can learn to embrace errors and move forward with maturity, success and wisdom. Then we can feel much more happy, and make ourselves successful.

  Of course, at the most basic level, pure and simple, no one likes to be wrong. Failure is integral to success. Without error, most of us won't be successful. Without error, we would have no way to judge right from wrong, correct from incorrect, or, of course, even success. So for a good future, and a happy life, we should do several things. 

  Embracing mistakes, only we embrace mistakes and defeats, we may learn to fear ridicule and sarcasm，however, finally we can get our own performances, measure our self-worth, and shape our future choices, and we can be happy.

  Making the most of errors, If we're afraid to make or acknowledge mistakes, we are afraid to errors , then we really fail . Then the society will become a strange society full of compliant, fearful people. It's not good for us to live. We should always find a way to make ourselves happy. We must believe that mistakes are good sometimes.

  The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything. They won't be happy. So just make mistakes.

Life is beautiful

  The person I interview is a teacher. her name is Lauren, I met her two month ago. When I knew her job at that time, I felt surprised and touched.  She teaches kids who have some disabilities to learn some characters, some words. It's not a easy job. It needs many good personalities. She need to pay more than normal teachers. She is full of love. She is happy everyday, I am really curious about her secret to stay happy. I like her. So I interviewed her.

I have a meaningful work, I stay with kids everyday, I smile with them together.  I am satisfied with what I am dong now with my life. When I teach the kids some new characters, new words, I feel happy when I do this. I maximize my pleasure. When I feel down, I will think about the kids' beautiful smiles, then I am full of energy.

Prince Sunshine: Why do you choose this job?

Lauren:You know that my major is Spanish, at first, I just wanted to find a job related to my major. Then I got a chance to come to Spain, at there, I knew this group. I helped them when I had time. When I stayed with them, I felt satisfied. It is so meaningful. After I came back, I just choose this job, the pay is not high, but I feel happy.

Prince Sunshine:How can you be so patient to the kids?

Lauren:First, this is my job, and I love my job, so I must do it perfectly, I have to be patient. Second, when I saw the kids' smiles, I just want them to have a normal life like the other kids. I know it will be longer for them to learn something new. I don't have to be hurry. Third, I will leave bad moods home before I go to work. I am happy, so I am patient.


Prince Sunshine:What would you do to relax yourself when you feel pressure?

Lauren:Just like normal girls, when I feel pressure, I will go shopping. Buy something for myself. Sometimes I will see a movie by myself. Just give myself sometime to calm down. I also like sleeping, when I sleep, I do not have to worry about anything. Just remember to give myself energy all the time. Try to make the bad time short.


Prince Sunshine:How to be happy everyday?

Lauren: Smile to myself everyday, never deny myself, be confident. Have a goal in my mind, when I achieve it, I will prize myself. I am thankful for everything, so I seldom complain. I would like to challenge myself everyday, so I never feel boring. I am always full of energy. I keep happy like this.

  We ate a lot of food, some of them are traditional, they are so delicious. I changed my mind that all American food are not delicious. I was so full that I even couldn't walk. They told us that we must pick up different food more than two times. This year, they had a special dish, the little pig. The pig is so cute, and I felt so pity that I had to eat it. And it's delicious. After eating, we played many games. It's really a good holiday for people to relax themselves and enjoy themselves.

Hard work, delicious food. My friend's birthday, we cook  many dishes. I am a good cook, I like cooking. They are so delicious, when I see the picture, I feel hungry. Do you have the same feeling. (photo by Prince Sunshine)

My desk, my style. This is my tidy desk, everything I need is on the desk. I like this style, it can make me feel good, make me relax, when the sunshine comes in, I am full of energy. Tidy desk, tidy mood. (photo by Prince Sunshine)

  I like things put in order, when they are tidy. I feel happy. I just think only I can make my things look good, then I can make myself look good. When I have time, I will think about my life, I will reorder it, and make it look good.

Do you think I dress like a tree? This is one of my favorite clothes. I like green, it makes me energetic, makes me dream something. When I sit before the fountain with five circles, I am happy. I think that If I am a tree, what would I do? Will I smile like before? (photo by Prince Sunshine)

  I dress what I like, no matter what others say. Just choose what I like, only I feel comfortable, then I have mood.

Step on the bricks, I see the dreams. The Centennial Olympic Park contains more than five hundred thousand bricks bearing the names of people who donated $35 to build the park. When I step on the bricks, I see the hope. I feel the energy of solidarity, that' s amazing. (photo by Prince Sunshine)

  Always have hope, then I can be happy. No matter where I go, I am curious about everything, I want to give myself more hope, and live happily.

Do you like me? My roommate tried to kiss a big mouse last Friday when we visited the Coke Cola World. You can see that he is full of love. He always does something like this. It seems like crazy, but who cares. Live in the world, we should find something interesting. (photo by Prince Sunshine)

  When you have a good roommate, you will feel happy all the time. You gain more positive energy, that’s really nice. I am the lucky one, I have a good roommate. 

Secret energy for myself. The painting above is done when I was in the blogging class. With the candle burning, I think I did it well and relax myself. I want to give the postcard below to myself  before I come home. I want to encourage myself, give myself some secret energy. Cheer!(photo by sunshine)

  I like giving myself positive signals, I encourage myself all the time in different ways. Only I believe myself, others will believe me. And it’s really a good idea. I learn a lot, also gain a lot.

The tree of life,my shadow even admire him. When I walked in the street, this tree really draw my attention. The fresh red made me crazy. I like our shadow before the tree, it is so artistic. It just like my shadow also admire him, admire life.(photo by Prince Sunshine) 

  When you walk, do not forget to look around, find something beautiful. I always stand by and look for something special. When I do like this, I can always give myself surprise. Enjoy the life.

Holding love in my heart. When I hold water in my hand, I am just afraid that the water will run away, and I can't catch it. Water is the purest thing in my mind, it just like love, I don't want to lose it. I want to hold it in my heart. (photo by Prince Sunshine)

  Seize the happiness in your life. I don’t like the feeling when I lose something beautiful. I always remind myself what I should. That’s important.

This is my life.I enjoy it! Enjoy the colorful world! Do you want to join me? We can make the colorful world together.
