on last night's show, oprah interviewed the writer of "eat, pray, love", melissa gilbert. this lady wasnt happy in her marriage, so she walked out of it, went to stay in naples for 4 months (where she ate lots of pasta and gained 24 lbs) and then went to india and then to bali.
her story is about changing your life, and following your heart in doing it. she gave 3 tips to happiness which are:
1. ask yourself what do you really,really, really want (daily, if you must)
2. change your mantra (to something positive)
3. write about what makes you happy for the day.
this morning as i woke up, i did ask myself the 1st question. and i answered that i want to let go of my problems and to take it easy.
i'm good at taking things easy. so despite my bundles of 'joy' (exam papers), i went to the market, a visit that i look forward to every week; cooked a healthy lunch of veggies and organic brown rice and in the afternoon i made apple jam and baked scones for tea. i did not think of my problems for once.
and though i'm not exceedingly happy, at least i felt calm and tranquil.
