HEllo ladies

So I'm reading a new book I picked up at the library... 'The Daring Female's Guide To Ecstatic Living'... I'm not finished BUT here are the first few dares

1. Dare to find what makes you happy & do it for 10 min a day.

(Ex. Read, Paint, Call your best friend, go for a long walk, dance around your house, sing, organize, make funky jewelery, cook, work on your scrapbook, play silly, write, meditate, bubble bath, sip a perfect latte etc.)

2. Dare to learn something new everyday.

(Ex. Read one magazine or newspaper article you don't usually read, sign up for an online or in person class, learn a skill you always wished you had, read a book on a subject you know little about, sign up for a daily learning email etc.)

3. DAre to look forward more often than you look back

4. Dare to stop frustration with action

5. DAre to have a life wish list and cross something off every year

6. Dare to bite off more than you can chew, but learn how to spit

7. Dare to be the person you dream of being

8. Dare to love your quirks and imperfections

9. Dare to learn how to do something amazingly well and show it off

10. Dare to have outrageous amounts of fun

Thank you for sharing. I really like that since many of us are so fear-based. Will check out the book.

Thank You for sharing!!! Are you trying to follow some of these? How's it going for you?

I have started

but like I said I'm not finished with the book so only the first couple...

Sang in the car today, went on a nice long walk with a friend, watched a movie I wouldn't regularly watch and worked out 30 min on my elliptical... that takes care of 1, 2 & 4!

love it

I already do some of that - happy stuff for ten mins a day, learn something new - well I can't help that, I'm a student LOL
I am working up the courage to volunteer in India this winter - because I absolutely love the country and want to make a difference - but I'm also really scared and it doesn't help that people are going 'oh...why India, it's a long way' etc. But I've found a reputable company and a scheme that looks wonderful. and I think think think I'm going to do it!
