<p>I shaved my head a week ago as a detachment from my ego, a reminder to what’s important in life and as an inspiration to others to focus on the true sources of happiness.  To my surprise, I actually really liked how my baldhead looked so in a sense my ego could be attaching itself to that new cool image.  The practice of detachment for me has been and will be watching my hair grow out and not wishing it to be different.  I noticed that I didn’t like it as much once the black stub started growing in, so I noted that dissatisfaction as an observation instead of a desire for it to be different.</p>
<p>In my last blog I said that the material and physical don’t bring us true happiness.  Today I would like to talk about what does and how to find that for you. <strong> A good exercise to find out would be to reflect or write down all of the things that bring you joy. </strong>Once you know what they are you can spend your energy focusing on them to fill you with more joy and then the physical and material won’t seem so important.</p>
<p>What brings me joy is listening and living from my heart, nurturing myself, inspiring others, spending time with nature and animals, having heart-felt connections with others, living on a tropical island, sharing smiles with strangers, feeling vibrant health and energy, learning new things, exploring new places, puppies and babies, riding on a motorbike, walking along the beach, warm bathes, beautiful food that nourishes my body, knowing who I am, developing myself, overcoming challenges, giving to others, feeling the love from my family and friends…not how my hair looks.</p>
<p><strong>Find and focus on your joy!</strong></p>

<p> In just one week I turned my whole reality around. I manifested the money I needed to get me out of a financial bind with my mortgage and car payments.&nbsp; I received a credit, a free beach vacation, and three income opportunities.&nbsp; In addition, I feel upbeat and positive about my current situation and what’s to come.&nbsp; </p>
