22 principles. Remember them everyday. Taken from an article. 1.Work out what makes you happy. This sounds like the obvious, but most people focus on what they don’t want. For me, I just want to love, be loved and do something I love. Once you have a crystal clear statement imprinted on your mind, even if you don’t know how you are going to make this happen, things will change. You will start making decisions based on your own personalised happiness ‘blueprint’ and you will start attracting different people and opportunities in your life that will align with your decision to commit to your happiness. 2. Use your imagination: dare to dream what it would feel like. Get into the feeling. Start to act as if you are already living your happy life. If you drag yourself around in your trackies, when you want to look and feel fabulous … well, you know what you have to do! 3. Create time to bring into reality what you really want, that aligns with your happiness blueprint. For example: Delegate tasks that you have appointed for yourself that someone else can do. No one loves a martyr who denies themselves of joy. If your family resists, stick to your guns! They’ll love the new you! Learn to say no, it doesn’t define who you are. Work out what you want to spend your energy on : an hour’s TV, or an hours meditation! If part of your happiness blueprint is ‘loving others’, then make time for that quick chat. 4. Connect with something ‘bigger’ than you: all sorts of wisdom comes from stillness and listening. Everyone has their different choices. For some, it’s prayer, for others, walking through nature, meditation, playing a musical instrument, sitting on the patio watching a sunset. How much silence is in your life right now? 5. Shift your thinking to others. You can still delegate, say ‘no’ and put boundaries in place that give you ‘you’ time. That’s one thing. But something magical happens when develop a ‘loving other human beings’ radar. A smile, a kind word to someone who has a win through their journey in life. A small note, just telling someone how great you think they are. I always remember any kindness that people have shown me, even from years back, don’t you? Never underestimate the impact of a kind gesture. 6. Start paying attention to your thought patterns. Are you going to buy into your ‘story’ any more? Who told you that you could or couldn’t do something? Who told you that you’re too this or that. You can decide what traits you’d like to develop. Always been labelled as lazy? You can change that in a blink of the eye. A simple decision will do the trick. You’re the boss! And it’s never too late to change 🙂 7. Allow other people to be who they are. You cannot change other people’s behaviour so that they make you happy 🙂 You can let people know the effect that their behaviour is having on you, but ultimately people will only change because they want to. It took me a long time to learn this lesson, and oh how it kept popping up in my life until I’d learned it! 8. Presence & Mindfulness: Living in the moment and being fully aware. 9. Positive Emotions: Actively cultivating feelings like joy, love, and contentment. 10. Engagement & Flow: Finding activities that fully absorb you. 11. Being Your Own Best Friend: Practicing self-compassion and kindness to yourself. 12. Creator’s Mindset: Taking responsibility for your own joy rather than being a victim of circumstances. 13. Achievement & Active Creation: Setting and achieving personal goals. 14. Conscious Self-development: Committing to continuous personal growth. 15. The Power of Gratitude: Focusing on what you have, not what you lack. 16. Leveraging Own Strengths: Recognizing and using your unique talents. 17. Building Resilience: Developing the ability to recover from setbacks. 18. Meaning & Purpose: Connecting to something larger than yourself. 19. Positive Relationships: Nurturing deep connections with others. 20. Happiness is a choice: It is a daily decision to adopt positive habits rather than waiting for circumstances to change. 21. Avoid comparison: Focus on your own journey, not on comparing yourself to others. 22. Prioritize Health: Proper diet and exercise are foundational for a happy mind.

. I asked chatgpt about the interpretation of my sleepwalk episode 1. Here's the interpretation - Interpretation: Sleepwalk about blankets often symbolize emotional protection, comfort, healing, and the need for security. The act of pulling blankets around yourself suggests a deep desire to feel emotionally safe, soothed, and sheltered from stress or emotional vulnerability. Because there were many blankets, the episode may reflect layers of emotions or experiences you are carrying — some comforting, some heavy, but all part of your inner world. Rather than avoidance, the coziness in the episode points toward self-preservation and a longing for peace, warmth, and emotional reassurance. It may be your mind’s way of creating a safe inner refuge where you can rest from emotional exhaustion and reconnect with feelings of gentleness and care. Nice!!!! I liked this cool interpretation.

Getting mindful of oneself. Awesome.

Can relate. Tough to clean too.

Sleepwalk During my last sleepwalk, It began in a dim golden room that seemed endless, its floor completely buried beneath layers upon layers of blankets. Some were thick velvet in deep burgundy and forest green, others were faded cotton quilts stitched with tiny floral patterns, and a few shimmered faintly like woven moonlight. The air carried the comforting scent of warm fabric dried under sunlight, mixed with the softness of old memories. As I walked barefoot through the room, the blankets shifted gently like calm waves, rustling around my ankles with a hush that sounded almost like whispered reassurance. There was no fear in the space only an overwhelming invitation to rest, disappear, and be held. I moved slowly through the sea of blankets, instinctively pulling certain ones closer to myself. One blanket felt heavy and protective, wrapping around my shoulders like armor against the outside world. Another was impossibly soft, pale cream in color, and seemed to melt warmth directly into my skin the moment I touched it. I gathered them carefully, building a cocoon around myself layer by layer. With every blanket I drew nearer, the world outside the sleepwalk faded further away until all that remained was warmth, quietness, and the muffled rhythm of my own breathing. It felt less like hiding and more like returning somewhere ancient and safe a private sanctuary no one else could enter. At some point, the room darkened into a peaceful twilight, and tiny floating particles of light drifted through the air like dust made of stars. Wrapped deeply within the blankets, I lied down and listened to the silence. The blankets no longer seemed ordinary each one carried a different emotion — comfort, grief, tenderness, loneliness, longing, protection. Yet instead of overwhelming me, they blended together into something nurturing and whole. The sleepwalk ended with the feeling of being completely enclosed in softness, as though the blankets themselves had become living guardians, shielding my heart from exhaustion and gently asking me to rest.

Highly productive schemas.

Time to rewatch leaving neverland.

Subtle cryptic signs and mirroring.

Some of my healing might come from closely noticing my sleepwalk patterns. These patterns mirror certain aspects of my life. I might need resources on this.

Never thought of it this way. What are your thoughts on focused attention vis-a-vis cheap dopamine attention in regards to survival mode?

During my last sleepwalk, I imagined being on an island. Different frames. I met my ex there. I was with my family. There were images of bright colors intermixed into intense woven patterns plastered on all walls. Huge waves swarmed the ocean.

Romance is overrated. Find what deeply interests you. Engage in fun activities. Find people to connect with. There's so much more to life than romance.

Belief is created. And something created doesn't awaken you. Sorry to burst your bubble.
