\nSaviuc, 15 Things You Should Give Up to
\nBe Happy<\/a><\/p>\nREMINDER<\/strong>: Today\u2019s happiness theme is
\non \u201cfinding lessons\u00a0in everything – the
\ngood, and the bad.\u201d Life is full of good
\nand\u00a0bad experiences, and all of them are
\nmeant to help us grow. None of these
\nexperiences are happening TO us, they\u00a0are
\nhappening FOR us.<\/p>\nEXERCISE<\/strong>:\u00a0Grab a pen and a piece of
\npaper, and think now of\u00a0an amazing
\nexperience from your past.\u00a0When\u00a0you\u2019re
\nready,\u00a0write down ONE valuable\u00a0lesson
\nthis experience has taught you.<\/p>\nNow think of another experience, this
\ntime an unpleasant one, and write down
\nTHREE valuable lessons this experience
\nhas taught you.<\/p>\n
Take your time thinking about this, and
\nwhen you\u2019re ready, take\u00a0three deep
\ncleansing breaths, and bring back the
\nfeeling of awe,\u00a0appreciation and
\ncontentment.<\/p>\n
Congratulations!<\/p>\n
You have completed the exercise for
\nthe day.<\/p>\n
Now go on and look for the lesson in
\neverything. Look for the meaning. Be
\nopen and receptive to all that life has
\nto offer you, and by doing so, no
\nexperience will ever be wasted.
