and ready2change, I want to be happy so BAD! ...I find myself not being AS sad as I was before. I just need to control what I allow myself to think about...thoughts of my kids and other happy thoughts.
The key for my happiness is living in the present. When my brain diverts my attention to the past, then I can be tricked to feel other than happy. When I realize this,I say STOP in my head and refocus on the present. I can also intentionally thing of Past positive experiences and jump start the happiness. Feelings follow thoughts. Dwell on the negatives and guess what....
I enjoy being alive "Right now". I wake up, and ejoy a few deep breaths. I enjoy the feeling of my sheets. I enjoy the feeling of the hot water in the shower. All day long I enjoy what I am detecting with my senses. This keeps me in a "Happy state".
It is our choice to be content in the present.
Do things that make YOU happy. DO THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY. Do things that make you HAPPY.
Enjoy life right now.
