It’s time to experience a new way of doing things . . .
because happiness starts with simply knowing.
Simply knowing… that we have everything we need to be happy.
It starts when we simplify our lives and our expectations. Knowing that being positive does not always mean that we are always happy. But we build our resilience through positive emotions.
Removing judgment, clearing our mind of thoughts, feelings and emotions that do not serve us.
Creating a pattern of positive practices and habits that will lead us to see what is good in our lives, and find joy in what life has to offer us.
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power
to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
~ Victor Frankel
In the Grow Your Happy Community
you will learn how to feel:
Simple Joy
You cannot give what you are lacking. Fill your life with joy so that you are able to spread joy. Fill your life with self-compassion and self-nurturing so that you are able to help nurture and show compassion to others. When you forgive yourself, you can more easily forgive others. You can only provide for others what you’ve learned to provide for yourself. Practice giving yourself the love, nurturing, and grace first then extend it outwards.
PEACEFUL
Does your life feel more chaotic than not? Meditation seems impossible because you don’t have the time or space to get that “mindful now moment”? Retreat in the most peaceful spot you can find and spend some quiet time contemplating. Take this time to really value yourself, believe in yourself and all of your abilities. Say to yourself with loving kindness, “May I be safe and protected, may I be peaceful and happy, may I be healthy and strong”. Then say it for someone else. This can be the beginning of a peaceful compassion practice.

GROUNDED
It can be tempting to want to escape the material world: disliking your body, mismanaging finances, and disregarding important tasks that need to be done. Yet honoring your body and taking care of yourself in other ways is what keeps you grounded. Finding time to meditate, to be mindful in the present moment, to have love for yourself and savor things in life. Your inner strength encourages others to also have faith in themselves. You can be a role model for others by setting intentions to ground yourself and grow your happiness.
About Brenda
I still get the physiological response about how I felt back then, when my kids’ challenges were so overwhelming, it made me feel like I could not do one more thing. But, regardless of the self imposed guilt or shame I would feel for doing something for myself, I chose to awaken to a new way of thinking, to find ways to make my own life better. Studying the Science of Happiness, Positive Psychology and Social and Emotional Learning to increase my awareness and understanding of the human condition, I was able to have a new positive perspective on life.
It is important to understand that differences, disabilities, and challenges are all a part of the human condition. My intention is for “Grow Your Happy” to provide opportunities for parents to rethink and redefine their current mindset. To develop a new set-point for happiness for themselves and their loved ones, so even when difficulties and obstacles do arise, they can bounce back, and live their best life.
