“Our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world as being able to remake ourselves.” ~Gandhi
Here are five steps to help you become the CEO of your own happiness:
1. Put yourself at the top of your list.
This means tuning in to what your heart is telling you on a regular basis, caring for your physical and spiritual health, and slowing down enough to allow yourself to receive and enjoy life. Doing this will enable you to offer your best self to others.
2. Set boundaries.
This means saying “no” more often than you may be used to. Saying “yes” to obligations that are not a fit for your emotional fitness or priorities will only lead you to feeling over-extended and stressed out.
3. Approach each day from a mindset of positivity and gratitude.
Work to get into this place as soon as you wake up each morning. This leads to endless possibility. Focus on positive thoughts and keep an eye out for open doors, open arms, and open minds.
4. Look closely on a regular basis at what you’re tolerating.
Ask yourself if there are changes you can make to reduce or eliminate things or relationships in your life that are draining your energy and dimming your light.
5. Remember that the people you spend the most time with have a huge impact on the quality of your life.
Choose carefully and then spend lots of time with them, especially the ones who make you laugh.

Daily Wisdom from Tiny Buddha for 12/19/2011
I signed up to the daily emails from tinybuddha.com some months ago. It has helped me through some tough times. It has also guided me to make wiser choices on my good days. I might just be acknowledging that some of my success recently is due to this site, or the author Lori Deschene. So thank you Lori.

Happy New Year Lovers of #TeamTLF!
Thanks for starting the year with me and my little blog.
Just to give you an update…
A lot… I mean A LOT of stuff has happened since I last wrote. My “new life” as I like to call it, has been very entertaining to say the least. Like really… I wish I had a camera crew following me… then again I’m glad there’s not! lol!
So lets see.. What’s new? I moved back to LA. I’ve created some amazing smut. Found out I got nominated by AVN and XBIZ! My twitter got hacked, so I created a new one, then twitter got my hacked account back. I partied with Jessica Drake on NYE! (My girl crush.. shhh!) My dog got bit on her 2nd b-day. I got word on my book with Frank Nitt. I’ve seen who my true friends are in LA. I’ve also found true love in LA, but that’s old news. Ummm… and now I’m playing with my new pink wannabe Hitachi!
Anyways, I have been “falling off the wagon,” if you will. No I am not on drugs… I am on LIFE. What I mean by “falling off the wagon” is simply a metaphor for me back peddling to my old ways. I will be doing so well, and I’ll forget that it takes work to keep this amazing momentum I get from time to time. That is the problem. From time to time. So when I fall, I stop doing things that make me happy and keep me focused. I let work consume me and forget about the daily pleasures of my life. I also tend to look more at the negative than the positive. When I read the tiny buddha blog (When Enough Is Better) I had to retweet it. I was happy to see that many of my twitter followers checked it out. It hit the nail on the head! I have a beautiful life. It gets tough at times, but the good is so… GOOD! Unfortunately, with depression and anxiety it is very easy to forget the good.
This is why I have promised myself that instead of making new years resolutions, I will make goals for 2012. My first goal is to write my goals on paper by Jan 13th. LOL! I want to stay on track this year. This mental shit I have to deal with is temporary. I was able to identify why it was happening. Now it’s up to me to fix it. It isn’t that hard to be happy. You just have to be true to yourself and love yourself. That is the hard part. Getting to that point.
I guess it’s kind of ironic my account got hijacked.. It forced me to start over with my twitter, but it also checked me on my life. Like.. is it really that big of a deal that I lost 20k followers? Well at first, I was mad. Like, how can this person hijack my account, post these weird personal sounding messages, block my new account so I can’t talk to them. Then DM my followers and demand I pay to get it back!? Luckily, twitter support is awesome and they got to the bottom of it and I have my account back! It reminded me of my psycho ex-fiance Mr. Goodbar. (Yeah… I was actually engaged to that monster, but that’s for another blog.) How someone can come into your life and seem like they are cool, but the whole time they had their own agenda. I say it’s ironic this happened because I was falling at that time. I needed to be reminded that I literally got a second chance at life. I cannot let myself go back to my old self. Yes, it would be easier, but it’s not the way.
I am so much happier now. I have such a better understanding of myself. I feel excited to shoot again. I also feel excited for life again. It’s wonderful!
I feel like every scene I do now is my next award worthy scene LOL… but that is how good the sex is! I feel so comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my whole life. I am not going to let anyone or anything get in the way of that.
After all, New Year. New Tara. The best has yet to come.
