Happy Moments

12 Day Challenge

Day 1: Believe in Happiness

I could not paint after a Traumatic Brain Injury / Concussion from a car accident. I was heartbroken I couldn't paint or read anymore. Creativity was a slow process. I prayed, didn't give up, imagined it, and believed, "I got this!"

Day 2: Start Small

I was unable to read, focus, work, remember, problem solve, drive, cook, play, watch movies, or listen to music and audio. It took courage and heart to celebrate small progress instead of focusing on the things I couldn't do.

Day 3: Choose to Laugh

I focused on the things I could do, like pray, take short walks, take baths, meditate through the pain, imagine, laugh, cry, and be patient with slow recovery. A brain injury didn't stop me from relearning to read, creating Artsy Paint, making memories, and spreading hope.

Day 4: Appreciate People

Writing daily at least one "Happy Moment" changed everything for the better. I'm happier when I'm focused on what I have and can still do. I am so grateful for help from family, friends, coworkers, strangers, and God.
