THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

The whistle is blowing...let's get going!

So you've decided to come along for the ride? Great! One of the first things you need to do is learn the Ten Commandments of 'The Pollyanna Project'. Just in case you're curious, 'Pollyanna' was a fictional character who was always jolly and happy. Yeah, even if she was standing at the gallows with a rope around her neck, she'd find something to be cheerful about such as "Great, at least I won't have to wash my hair tomorrow". You get the drift.

So the following ten commandments have to be pursued daily. Don't worry if at first it feels weird - you're normal! Some people say it's better to be normal, than happy. I think it's better to be happy.

Anyway, here they come...ready or not, give them a shot!


1.   When you awake each morning, give thanks to God for being alive.

2.   Think of 3 things you are grateful for in your life- write it down.

3.   NEVER compare yourself to others, and JUDGE NOT!

4.   No self-hate talk. When you find yourself dissing, simply say
      "I am Me Myself and I - God does not make junk"

5.   Perform at least ONE act of Kindness each day, i.e. smile at a stranger, open a
      door for a mum with a pram, donate food or clothes to charity, etc.

6.   Do not procrastinate...JUST DO IT!

7.   De-clutter on a daily basis - your home from excess, and your heart from worry.

8.   Spend wisely.

9.   Be generous, and let your every action be motivated by LOVE.

10. HAVE FUN - Allow yourself a daily treat, a good laugh and at least one hug!!


CHOO CHOO...We'll catch up tomorrow and I'll let you know how Day One went!!

Hugs,
