Be gentle.
Be myself.
Dare to be happy - everyday.
Move my body in intuitive and creative ways, daily.
Honor the seasons and cycles of this day, month, year, and life.
Embrace change.
Walk barefoot on the Earth and speak to her trees, rocks, flowers, and streams.
Spend some time alone, in silence, each day.
Evolve by continually living outside of my comfort zone.
Dance.
Rest when I need to.
Drink more water.
Eat lots and lots of dark green veggies.
Prepare nourishing meals for me and my loved ones.
Breathe deeply.
Have the courage to open when I want to shut down.
Allow my feelings to flow.
Remember that everything I have ever needed or wanted is right inside of me.
Celebrate my beauty by adorning my body, home, and life as only a true queen would.
Be mindful.
Slow down.
Trust my intuition.
Follow my heart.
Connect and collaborate with other women in creative and supportive ways.
Share my unique gift with the world even when I'm afraid.
Pay it forward.
Take responsibility for my own happiness.
Say Thank You and I love You as often as possible.
Shine. No matter what.

I stumbled on this list a few months ago (compiled by someone else) and have been magnetized to it ever since. I have a copy printed out that I keep in my journal. Everyday I look at it and soak up the truth in the words. Some things on the list I fortunately do, but others show room where I can grow. I have decided to take each thing on the list and write about it separately, through free association, and see what it can offer. Writing is very therapeutic for me so I see the project being very insightful! I may do it in this journal, or a blog, I haven't decided. But, I wanted to share this list for its strength and positive energy.

I hope you strive to be a happy woman, or man, in your life.

Very inspiring, thank you for posting! I have been struggling the past few days and everyone's positive attitudes are seriously helping me remember to just be happy. :)

It is such an awesome list! Another good one I thought of: Be weightless.

A band I love, Umphrey's McGee has a line in a song.."For as long as you have wandered, you've carried too much weight" .. this can be so true.

That makes me happy Abi! I felt the same way when I first read it, and actually every time since! Consider doing what I mentioned above in writing/thinking about each thing independently in your life :) I just started this with the first on the list and was as open and honest with myself as I could be, and it was quite nice!

That's awesome! I was thinking about getting it framed as well. Glad it meant something to you too. And thanks to the lady that had the know-all to create it.
