Live. Life. Through Your Senses

How can I see if I am REALLY happy? Speed Mentoring from The Live Your Passion Business and Lifestyle Mentor, Melyssa Moniz   Real happiness is not just about being happy in a single moment. Happiness is a way of life, an attitude that affects everything you do and everything you are. Building real happiness is a life time process, and instead of keeping it a mystery, here are some self-reflective questions that can help you build your happiness starting NOW .  Creating a pattern of joy and gratitude in your life is the simplest way to develop a happier outlook on life. If you want to discover whether or not you are really happy, use the following questions to gauge how happy you are: 1.         Do you live in the moment?  People who are unhappy are constantly living in the past or worrying about the future. While it is important to learn from past mistakes and relationships, dwelling on them can drag down your present. In that same way, worrying about your future

Happy Friday World! Can we please stop! Stop this madness of New Year, New YOU! Change takes time, and depending on the type of changes we are looking to achieve i.e. eating a healthier version of a breakfast versus escaping chronic depression, there are but two mechanisms that will work: consistency and patience . Consistency provides that instant satisfaction of "getting it done", while patience soothes you ID's greediness of wanting it NOW or never. It would be great if we could all wait in line at the Change Machine, step inside, hear that "Fhssssss!" noise, and walk out as a new version of us: perfect body shape of a model, flawless skin, CEO of a big company, six figures in your savings account, no fears of anxieties... Just like that, here comes the  new you! Well, the truth is that we are amazing, and at times we get lost in the hardship of life, and mistake that period of time with an entire lifestyle. In other words, we get down and

Happy 2015 World! Dear 2015, I don't know where to start with you. I am tempted to make the same mistakes as I did in the past, get excited, and start writing down two pages long of resolutions that we both know won't do either of us any good. Let' get real, please!

We both know that we will go through the honeymoon phase where we get excited about losing those 20 pounds, getting a new haircut, making new friends, becoming a better person and bumping into the realest of them all . For those first few weeks, it will be all smiles and giggles and butterflies, then  ... Then something will go wrong! The beauty I once saw in you, the craftsman of perfection, the flawless connection, the fiery passion that made us dance on our toes to the beat of a tango will run away to the land of wake up sister . We will both sober up from this drunken impression of love and possibility. I will say to myself "I thought you were going
