*How To Be #Happy In Your Life*
I
want to start 2014 in a positive light.
Are you with
me?
A lot of
people pledge during the first of every new year to start working out, lose
weight and tone their muscles. But what about working on being happy? Why not
exercise your mind and reprogram it to where you won’t have to think about the
following steps to reach a joyful state of mind? It’ll just come natural to
you. How about that?
What’s the
point about stressing out about something? What benefits does it have? Um,
none. I think stress goes hand and hand with worry. You’re worried because you
have no control over a situation. You can’t control everything. However, you
can control how you react to things and your attitude. Focus your energy on
that and relax.
I don’t care
who you are, we all do this. I think it’s human nature that we compare
ourselves to others. You need to stop it. The only person you should compare
yourself to is yourself. Look at where you were a year ago or maybe two. What
have you done with your life or self since then? What have you learned? Have
you accomplished anything? Don’t look at Mary Lou who seems to have the life or
looks you want. We’re all unique and have our own paths to take. Mary Lou may
be gorgeous and seem like she has it made, but she might not. So stop comparing
yourself to others and start looking at your own self and life.
Stop Blame Shifting:
Stop
shifting the blame on someone for what you don’t have. Take responsibility.
You’re in charge of your life, and it’s up to you to change it.
Be grateful
for what you have. Look at all the blessings in your life and appreciate them. Yeah,
you might not have all the things you desire at the moment, but think back ten
years ago at things you didn’t have and now do.
You’re
awesome and a good person and shouldn’t talk down to yourself. We all make
mistakes and have done bad things in our lives, but if you’ve learned from them
and moved on, it’s all good. You’re not a horrible person and can do whatever
you put your mind to—if you really want to. Your mind is a powerful thing. If
you continue to think negative thoughts about yourself, it’s going to
emotionally and physically hinder you in your life. So be aware of those
thoughts and replace them with positive ones.
Negativity
breeds negativity. What’s the old saying? Oh, that’s right. Misery loves company.
If you’re around miserable people, they’re going to bring you down. They’re
toxic. Plain and simple. However, if you’re in the company of uplifting people
who you can learn from and brings you joy, your world will be a lot brighter.
If you dwell
on your problems, you’re not going to get anywhere. You’ll just find excuses on
why you can’t accomplish something. But if you think about your goals and how
to attain them, you’ll be a lot happier and have something to look forward to.
The past and
future doesn’t exist. Quit thinking about what you could have done or if you
would have had awesome parents where would you be in life right now . . . or
whatever. Stop thinking about the future and Be Here Right Now. That’s what
exist. What you’re doing today will help create what your tomorrows will be.
Every single moment you’re creating yourself by your thoughts, your actions, and
how you choose to live. Be in the moment.
Don’t ever
sacrifice who you are to please another person or to fit in with the crowd. If
people can’t except you for who you are, then they’re not worth your time. That
includes family as well. Be yourself. You might not have the perfect looks,
car, house, bank account. You might be into vampires, werewolves, heavy metal,
and wear vintage concert T-shirts. So what. That’s who you are. Don’t change
it. Because seriously, you WILL meet people who will genuinely like and love
you for YOU.
Period.
