5 Tips on how to live in Happiness
Posted by Intuition Girl
“Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you; but if you turn your attention to other things, it comes and sits softly on your shoulder.”
The anonymous author who wrote this passage had his heart in the right state of mind. Happiness truly is like a butterfly. Too many times, we lose our vision because we’re too busy trying to become content, when contentment has been there all along. I’m going to give you five tips on how to live in happiness so you, too, can catch your own metaphorical butterfly of bliss:
1. Get physical. Remember the old grade school song where the music teacher would sing, “If you’re happy and you know it, and you really want to show it, if you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands”? Well, you don’t have to physically clap your hands (unless you want to) — but to make your body feel healthier and free your spirit from daily rigors, a brisk walk, an impromptu happy dance, or a good physical workout can boost your immunity and improve your mental clarity. So go ahead, clap your hands, stomp your feet, and get your body moving!
2. Meditate. 
You don’t need a Guru to whip you into a meditation routine, but you must be committed to practicing daily positive affirmations to reinvent your mental thought processes. Focus on a time when you were most happy, or a place that makes you happiest. Once you have that mental picture in your mind, concentrate on it. Put yourself in that place. Smile. Close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Repeat this mental exercise as much as you need to calm your nerves. It’s amazing what a little meditation can do for the mind, body, and soul.
3. Skip the junk food. I’m no nutritionist, but I know what junk foods like greasy French fries and potato chips can do to my body. But junk foods just don’t affect your physical wellbeing; they affect your emotional state of wellness, too. When you put garbage into your body, it limits your mental capacity to think positively. Eating healthy, whole foods like nuts, and raw veggies and fruits can perk your mind, body, and spirit.
4. Journal. Why do you think diaries are such a popular-selling item? It’s not just because little girls want to share their deepest, darkest secrets – diaries, or life journals are superb emotional healing and self-growth tools that help individuals understand and resolve life problems. They’re also great to write out dreams, goals, and desires of the heart. The coolest part about journaling is that you don’t need a degree in journalism or any other special training to write out your thoughts and ideas. Think of your life journal as your personal mind notebook. When you put your goals to paper, it’s so much easier to concentrate on those goals without losing touch with reality. Try it – once you do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
5. Smile. 
Do you know that frowning brings down your whole spirit? When you smile, you can feel your eyes lifting, your cheeks wincing, your forehead rising, and your whole body feels light and like it’s atop of the world. Frowning, on the other hand brings your whole composure down. Don’t be a sloucher. Smile. Laugh. Read a joke. Share a joke. Watch a comedy or a cartoon. Think back to a time where you laughed so hard that it made your stomach hurt. What made you laugh that way? Smiling is the ultimate in living in happiness. If you practice active smiling every where you go, you will attract more smiles and positivity toward you. Go ahead and smile. Because remember, when you smile, the whole world smiles with you. When you cry, you cry alone.
Until we speak again,
I am,

Are you Living la Vida Loca?
Posted by Intuition Girl
Ricky Martin is famous for singing about it; but how many of you are living it? The “crazy life,” that is.
- Do you wake up every morning with a sense of direction and focus?
- Do you know what you want today so that you can have it tomorrow and in the future?
- Are you prepared to give up the crazy life so you can create a prosperous, happy life?
You’re not alone – and 2010 is all about just that: turning stepping stones into milestones; and transforming average lifestyles into healthy, abundant, and wealthy lifestyles! 2010 will be a year of assertive action and ambition. It will also be a year that will transform the way you think, feel, act, and move in your life…if you’re willing to move away from the illusions of your past to build a new tomorrow. 2010 is also the year for you to make the right choices in your life to create a sustainable, joy-filled way of life.
If you’re living la Vida Loca, then you’re not building your potentiality. In order to manifest your higher potentiality, you must assemble the right amount of strength and force behind your energy to drive your consciousness toward positive outcomes. 
More notably, 2010 will be a POWER YEAR! This New Year is one of the critical turning points of the 21st Century. When you are ready to change your thinking power, and when you begin to nurture your Authentic Self to regain your command in life, you will be able to fine-tune your self-image to reflect your genuine identity and strengthen your own intuition. In doing so, you are creating the process whereby you can explore your life purpose and begin reaping the rewards of your own self-driven success!
That’s where I come in…
In my upcoming 10-month Mastermind Platinum Program, I’m going to share my intuitive expertise in helping you create real momentum in your life. You don’t have to wait another day to get your footing in the right spot. In fact, my program is set to begin on January 20 – that’s just around the corner. Isn’t it time you gave up living la Vida Loca to start living in abundance and happiness today?
Until we speak again,
I am,
Joan Marie, the Gift – Intuition Girl

Changing Focus to Change your Emotional State
Posted by Intuition Girl
QUESTION # 2
I am feeling all over the place. I am starting to feel cluttered in my mind and in my home and as a result, I am also feeling anxious. I am assuming that both feelings are interconnected but I honestly don’t know.
The holiday season is usually a time of great excitement, so I am wondering if that has something to do with it. In all honesty, I would like to feel more relaxed and at ease with myself…but it doesn’t seem to be happening.
I need help and I am hoping you will be able to give it to me. I don’t want to get sick and I certainly don’t want to create an accident because of my emotional state. Thank you
Lorraine C.
ANSWER:
Dear Lorraine:
Thank you for sharing where you are. I am sure there are many who are feeling the same way. The holiday season often finds people feeling anxious and sometimes out of control. When that happens to you, take several deep breathes in and relax. You are in control of your behavior and emotional state. Remember that!
Do not allow your circumstances to dictate your life. How do you do that?
1. When you recognize that anxious state, immediately try to shift your energy. Think of something that is calming and relaxing.
2. Change your focus—a short prayer or mantra helps me center and ground myself and it definitely shifts my energy.
3. Daily morning meditation ( even for a few moments) will help set the mood for the day.
4. Clean up your space—whether at home or work. Physical clutter is the breeding ground for mental and spiritual clutter.
5. Good eating habits and regular exercise are vital for your overall state of being. Junk food weights you down in more ways than one and keeps you sluggish.
A brisk walk once or twice a day will help you stay balanced. I find this process important for my personal overall healthy state.
6. Get a good night sleep – that is not silly but absolutely necessary for maintaining a healthy state of mind.
All of the above takes discipline and effort on your part. There are certainly times in my life when I want to give into my lesser ego self, but I truly know and understand that if I want a healthy and balanced life and if I want to enjoy the abundance that life has to offer, I—no one else—it is “I” who must decide what choices I honestly need to make to reach my desired outcome.
This can be a wonderful and playful time of year. I warmly invite you to practice these steps because I know you will begin to enjoy yourself more. Celebrate your blessings and honor you for who you are.
Many Blessings,
Joan Marie the Gift, Intuition Girl

I AM Somebody
Posted by Intuition Girl
There are times in our lives where we reflect on where we are, who we are, and who we want to be or what we want to “get” out of life. It’s during these times that we’re at our most vulnerable. We often lose ourselves in the “could’ve been” scenarios that we really need to rise above before we can manifest the life we want to lead.
Today, I want you to stop thinking about what “could’ve been,” and focus on the “I AM somebody” thought. How you feel about yourself and what you project from yourself from this moment forward is where you need to be headed. The more you focus on the fact that you are a unique and special being capable of achieving greatness, you will suddenly find that you are riding high in the plane of conscientiousness. You must be conscientious to be aware of the potential that exists around you. Remember, you are here to serve a greater purpose in life; but you can only uncover and fulfill your life purpose by creating an environment conducive of achieving that goal.
Look into a mirror. Who is it that you see peering back at you? It’s you; wonderful you. Within your reflection is the aspiration of the person you want to see and become in life. You must know that you weren’t put onto this earth without a specific purpose. In your heart and mind are the dreams and visions that you’ve always wanted to see and realize. Now it’s time to take those dreams and visions to the next level of conscientiousness.
You can manifest your heart’s desires by harnessing your creative imagination and intuitive powers that exist solely for you. Put these powerful mental tools to work for you by spending a few moments affront of a mirror every day. Every time you peer into the looking glass, search your soul for your authentic self. What is she saying to you? What does she want you to do with your life? Who does she aspire to be? Look beyond the superficial parts of your anatomy. Look past the color of your hair, your physical shape; instead, focus on your authentic self that gives you the personality to make your dreams come true.
When you unveil the physical mask of reality, you discover that there’s an entirely new perception and retrospect of who you are and why you are an essential ingredient to the Universal flow of energy. You are at one with the world, and the faster you realize that you are somebody, the more relevant you become to the positive energetic flow that brings opportunity and abundance into your life. Don’t you want more chances to create the life you’ve always wanted to have? Learn to live at peace with your inner self – your authentic self; and you will not only begin to believe that you are somebody, but you will become the “somebody” that you were destined to be.
