"Pocketful of Sunshine"

While driving in my car the other day I heard the expression, “Pocketful of Sunshine.” Immediately, I thought of using the saying as a tool to help me stop my negative thoughts and put a smile on my face. Within a few seconds a negative thought popped into my mind, I instantly reached into my pocket and started sprinkling sunshine around me. It put a smile on my face and I felt better.

This morning during the Monday Morning Wake-Up Action Call, we discussed how using the expression, “Pocketful of Sunshine” can make a difference in our lives.

Some of the benefits for using our Sunshine are as follows:
• Brightens your mood instantly.
• Makes you feel confident.
• Always available to help with negative thinking.
• Enhances your special gifts of laughter, smiling and having fun.
• Helps others to put a smile on their face when they see you smiling.

We are a society of instant gratification. We are constantly, trying to find things that will make us happy right away. We have finally found the tool of sprinkling sunshine around us to put a smile on our face and create happiness.

Now it is your turn to close your eyes and pull some sunshine out of your pocket and sprinkle it around you. What happens? Now open your eyes and share your findings with the Love Yourself – It Matters! Community.

Happy New Year to the Jewish Love Yourself – It Matters! Community members.
