<p><strong>This week's Happy Maker is a live basil plant in my kitchen. I love the live plant and the taste of the basil, it just makes me happy. Have you heard the statement you are what you eat? I recently watched a Netflix docuseries, You Are What Yor Eat: The Twin Experiment. It made me actually go back and watch a 2004 film called Super Size Me. I read articles that stated the food we eat directly affects our gut health and influences the production of our body’s chemical messengers that are constantly carrying messages from the gut to the brain. The CDC released a study in late November of 2022 that stated Only about 25% of adults were aware of MyPlate – and less than 10% had attempted to use the guidance. I have concluded that our body functions according to what we eat. The food we consume is fuel for our body to function, and just like the fuel in our cars, cleaner, more efficient fuels will help our body function cleaner and more efficiently.</strong></p> <p><strong>In the book study, The Lazy Genius Way by Kendra Adachi that I am leading it's week 5. I’ve called it Be Kind to Yourself after Principle #13. We each need to become a friend to ourselves. We need embrace that we are worthy of kindness, value who we are now, accept whe we have been, and celebrate our accomplishments.</strong></p> <p><strong>Tune in to each episode, as I share with you tips and tricks I've learned to help you become an efficient, effective, and fulfilled human being.</strong></p>

Today, let's explore some tricks to being happy.</p> <p>Have you ever heard the phrase, stop and smell the roses? Simple put, take the time to enjoy the little things around you.

My Happy Maker this week is my music playlist.</p> <p>Take control of your mental state, just didn't worry and be happy! Try using the 5-4-3-2-1 method.

Ask your self these questions and provide the answers in your head. What are 5 beautiful things I see? What are 4 things I want to touch? What are 3 pleasant sounds I hear? What are 2 things I smell that I like? and what is 1 taste I want to savor? So right now, wherever you are and whatever you are doing lets take a quick 5 senses inventory to improve our mood.

So, each time I see an owl I think about purchasing I ask myself “Where will I put this when I take it home” before I buy it. I use this principle for new kitchen gadgets, pillows and accessories, clothing- which I modify the question to when would I wear this.</p> <p>Tune in to each episode released on Wednesdays, as I share with you tips and tricks I've learned to help you become an efficient, effective, and fulfilled educator and human being. </p>
