Find Your Happy: Daily Mantras: 365 Days of Motivation For a Happy, Peaceful and Fulfilling Life is one of the most positive books I have had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Published by Beyond Words Publishing, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, Inc., this book is designed to be a daily reader of wisdom and motivation. However, I read it within forty-eight hours. It\u2019s a really great book!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the things I like about it is that there are no dates attached to the daily mantras. Day 1 is entitled \u201cI Am Abundant And Secure\u201d (Kaiser, 1) with two paragraphs explaining how to focus on abundance and how to bring abundance into your life. However, unlike so many other daily meditation or mantra books, Day 1 isn\u2019t January 1 \u2013 it\u2019s whatever Day 1 you happen to open the book and start this journey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are so many gems in this book. Day 113 is \u201cSelf-Love Is A Practice I Show Up For Daily.\u201d Kaiser writes, \u201cSelf-love is not selfish, nor is it something that just happens. It is a practice\u2026When you show up for yourself each day, your life becomes more manageable because you are more grounded and balanced.\u201d (Kaiser, 117). Also: Day 152 with \u201cI\u2019ve Done Nothing Wrong\u201d. \u201cInstead of thinking things didn\u2019t work out, start celebrating how things have fallen into place\u2026Forgive yourself and know that you did the best you could with what you knew at the time.\u201d (Kaiser, 157)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are affirmations for each day. \u201cI smile confidently and with great love.\u201d <\/em>and \u201cWe are all connected and a smile brings us closer\u201d <\/em>are some of the affirmations for Day 273, which is entitled \u201cI Smile At Strangers\u201d (Kaiser, 283). Any one day offers an affirmation that can be taken with you for the entire day as a personal power thought. The affirmations for Day 189, \u201cJust Because It Hasn\u2019t Been Done Doesn\u2019t Mean It Can\u2019t Be\u201d are perfect for this kind of thing: \u201cI am a force of energy and focus.\u201d <\/em>or: \u201cWhen I put my mind to something I desire, it will come true.\u201d <\/em>(Kaiser, 196)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Each day follows up with questions for the day. For instance, Day 245 is \u201cI Start Each Day With A Grateful Heart\u201d. After the small sermon and the affirmations, Kaiser poses the question: \u201cHow can I cultivate a morning gratitude practice?\u201d (Kaiser, 254). Day 80 has the lovely title of \u201cI Love My Body Because Of What It Has Overcome\u201d and asks, \u201cHow can I send light and love to every cell of my body?\u201d (Kaiser, 83). Indeed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are 365 days of these gems and jewels… they most certainly are! Read them one day at a time or read them within a two-day period like I did or skip around the book to find the wisdom that resonates most readily with your own reality. You won\u2019t be disappointed with what you find within the covers of this book.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Shannon Kaiser\u2019s website is HERE<\/a>. There are plenty of things to see on her site<\/a> check it out!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There is also \u201cFind Your Happy\u201d Oracle Card set! Pagan Pages writer Robin Fennelly wrote a review of the set a few months ago. If you haven\u2019t read it, you can read it HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I would personally love to get this deck someday!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So go to your favorite local bookstore or buy on your favorite online store \u2013 mine is Thriftbooks.com \u2013 and purchase this very helpful and holistic book filled with wisdom and healing. I can\u2019t recommend it enough.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Brightest Blessings!<\/p>\r\n
