MEASURING
YOUR
SPIRIT
_________

10____________50____________100

On a scale from 10 to 100 with

10 = being sad
and
100 = being happy

make a mark of where you're at, right now.

If you seem to be more sad than happy, do 2 things each day, that you know will make you smile. These don't have to be big things, but small, seemingly insignificant ones, like buying your favorite candy bar, watching a movie you love, or having lunch with a really good friend.

Keep doing the same or different things like that, for two weeks, then draw another "10___50___100" diagram on a piece of paper, and again measure your spirit by making a mark of where you're at. If there's no change, you were much too sad for a quicky cure, so proceed to now do 4 things each day, that you know will make you smile.

Continue to create small gifts of affection for yourself, re-measure your spirit, every few weeks,
and don't give up if this process takes
a while to create visible change, OK?

You can also agree to do this with another person by each of you creating happy smiles for the other.

You can even do it for someone else without them knowing that you're doing it.

Or........you could make a giant measuring chart and arrange to do this with an entire group that's suffering from sad, angry, or unproductive spirit-depletion.
