Everyday I am learning more about what happiness is, and what I now know for sure is that happiness is a choice! I strive for happiness everyday but lets be honest, things happen and ish gets real. When ish gets real, my ideal mental state of tranquility and positivity can quickly shift into an unsolicited visit from my arch-nemesis Negative Nancy.
With my sanity being one of my top priorities, I make it a habit to redirect my negative energy by doing things that make me happy. When it comes to instant feel-good practices, there are a few things can quickly get me back on track.
My top five ways to maintain happiness are:
- Relaxation time-meditation and sleep are the ultimate remedies.
- Doing things I enjoy-reading blogs and watching YouTube videos is my favorite obsession.
- Writing- helps me to get all of my thoughts out.
- Acknowledging how blessed I am-gratitude determines your altitude.
- Listening to music-listening to the right song and the right moment creates moments of pure bliss.
Whether its relaxing or writing, it is important to find out what makes you happy. My happiness means everything to me because it helps me find piece of mind. Choosing happiness is my choice, and I know that I am deserving of it. Everyone is deserving of happiness, however it is up to us to take responsibility for our own joy.
Until next time…
