When I feel happy, I can smile
The biggest smile I know.
Then you can see my happies show.

Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee.
Come on get silly and laugh with me.
Giggle gaggle, wiggle waggle, ho, ho, ho.
When you're feeling happy, let it show.

I got the sillies and when you get 'em,
You'll be silly like me.
I can't stop laughing as you can see.

Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee.
Come on get silly and laugh with me.
Giggle gaggle, wiggle waggle, ho, ho, ho.
When you get the sillies, let it show.

I've got a tickle, it makes me wiggle.
It makes me jiggle too.
Can't hold it in. I just gotta giggle.

Ha ha ha, hee, hee, hee.
Come on get silly and laugh with me.
Giggle gaggle, wiggle waggle, ho, ho, ho.
I've got a tickle, here I go!
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee.

Come on get silly and laugh with me.
Giggle gaggle, wiggle waggle, ho ho ho.
When you're feeling happy, (Feeling happy)
When you've got the sillies, (Got the sillies)
When you've got a tickle, (Got a tickle)
Let... it... show!

(Lyrics from Barney & Friends, "Laugh with me")

Third, notice 3 things that you can hear. Listen for and notice things in the background that you don’t normally notice. It could be the birds chirping outside or an appliance humming in the next room. Fourth, notice 2 things you can smell. Bring attention to scents that you usually filter out, either pleasant or unpleasant. Catch a whiff of the pine trees outside or food cooking in the kitchen. Finally, notice 1 thing you can taste. Take a sip of a drink, chew gum, or notice the current taste in your mouth.

Failing Forward (Setbacks can fuel future success. ): “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”
~Winston Churchill

Fail early, fail often, but always fail forward.” ― John Maxwell, Failing Forward

“Judgment is painful, so rest. Recover. Love on yourself.”

“Feelings matter, but they are also excellent liars. Start with the facts instead.”

“If you’re ruminating on something, ask yourself if anything is left in the memory that will serve you... If there’s nothing left to help you, it’s okay to work on releasing the judgment.”

“There is no need to judge yourself for judging yourself. It’s like getting a houseplant only to put it on the top shelf of a dark closet—you need space, time, and sunlight to grow.”
