Meet my purple elephant. His name is Happy.  Happy is happily tacked to my office bulletin board.  Happy is here for a reason.  Happy serves as a vital daily reminder to me. As I sit to work on my computer Happy lingers in the background. When I take a break from writing, I glance at Happy.   He is the purple elephant in the room, which I want to focus on.  Guess what? When I look at Happy I feel happy!

Here is a simple tip for you for the week: what you focus on expands.  What purple elephant do you want to focus on?  Joy, laughter, gratitude? Find an image that matches your aspired feeling.  Write or type the name of the feeling, you want to feel, next to the image. Print it out and place it throughout your home or office as a consistent reminder. Happy also lives on my refrigerator and computer (he is shrunk to cover the Apple logo on my Mac). Get creative! What’s your purple elephant? 🙂
